How to evaluate memory supplements

Can memory supplements really help you improve your memory? The popularity of supplements has exploded at grocery stores and vitamin shops, which promise to cure a sick memory. But your memory doesnt get sick or need a cure—rather, it needs a good workout.

* Be a wary consumer when selecting memory supplements. Most arent regulated by industry standards and arent backed up by science. Unless the supplement conforms to an industry standard, you may not know exactly what it contains.

* A lot of memory supplements are widely used in other cultures—but theyre usually part of an overall medical approach and are prescribed by a trained professional. These memory supplements cant be bought off the shelf like they can in the U.S.

* Supplements are medications and need to be treated as such. Use caution when taking them with other medications. Gingko biloba, for example, can cause bleeding problems when taken with a blood thinner.

* Take a conservative approach. Look at the science (if there is any) and discuss it with your doctor or pharmacist before taking.

they're regulated in that they must contain what they claim, and adhere to false advertising laws, and they're regulated in that their manufacturing has to be clean and safe. the only "unregulated" part is that they don't need to be approved by the FDA, which isn't a big deal
