Description
Alexander Frolov, Audrey Wadood, and Brendan Kelley review supplements patients report using for dementia in a 2024 paper. Most older adults in the United States take over-the-counter supplements. Many take them for memory loss or to ward off decline. The team surveyed their memory clinic to find the top choices.
Nine supplements topped the clinic survey list. For each, the team weighed proof against ad claims. They found little or no proof that any of the nine helps memory. Most looked safe in the trials done so far. But weak federal oversight raises fears of hidden contaminants. The review arms clinicians for frank talks with patients on supplement use.
