A member asked:
Mom is in her late seventies. she seems to forget what she said or where she put things. are there any vitamins she can take or any advice to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many things: This could be due to normal aging or early alzheimer's or a sign of other problems. I advise she see a holistic md for a thorough evaluation-esp. Thyroid (see http://bit.Ly/1cjnybx ) ; b12(see http://bit.Ly/1607tg3). She might have gluten sensitivity etc. Many supps can help- a good mulitivit., ginkgo, bacopa, phosphtidylserine, vinpocetine, ashwagandha, acetlyl-l-carnitine- see http://bit.Ly/1ffyzbq.
