Hi there
preventing memory decline is easier than restoring it but there are some nutrients that have done reasonably well in studies when it comes to doing both.
Some have shown the ability to reverse the severity of dementia in the elderly and with memory lapses.
In particular:
5 htp
huperzine
bacopa monnieri (herb)
gingko
bilberry
gotu kola (herb)
green tea
passion flower (herb)
schizandra (herb)
siberian gingseng
yucca root (herb)
i personally use a product called neuro-natural memory which is manufactured in new zealand. It combines all these nutrients plus many others.
I don't use it all the time but only when i'm about to start doing research over an extended period of several weeks or months. The effect is really noticeable though - after ive been on it for a couple of weeks.
I can concentrate more deeply and for longer, and my mind is really clear ( I amaze myself with stuff I remember from my childhood - it just pops up out of nowhere). I mum takes it as well - shes 78 and her memory was getting bad at times.
This supplement has 49 ingredients and was put together by a bio-scientist who has produced brain formulas for the nasa space program- I guess that's why it works so well. Hard to beat those credentials.
Cheers
