This is where osteocalcin comes in—it maintains neural connections and improves memory and cognitive functions. Higher levels of osteocalcin are said to enhance the function of neurons (nerve cells), which transmit information and store memories. By activating neurons, memory and cognitive abilities improve, leading to a more comfortable daily life, not just for the individual, but for their family and friends as well.
