Memory Support
The most common cause of memory loss in the elderly is Alzheimer's disease; an estimated 30 – 50% of those over 85 suffer from it. Examination of the brains of people who have died of Alzheimer's shows loss of cells in the thinking part of the brain, particularly cells that release the chemical acetylcholine. Some medications can help; Natural supplements that may support cognition include folate, CDP choline and huperzine.
