looking for a Vit. or supplement for memory

[jyearta]

Does anyone know of a SAFE Vit. or supplement that helps with memory?

I know we had to be careful, having E. in what we take. I don't want to add one more thing to my daily meds. but I'm so tired of not being able to recall inform. and when I read where I have posted, it's like WHO is this that doesn't know how to use correct wording.

An excellent question! Most of the "memory-enhancing" supplements are designed to stimulate the brain -- which can be risky for people with low seizure thresholds. One thing that can help are Omega-3s -- both dietary (in oily fish, flax seed oil, some eggs), or as a supplement.

You might try taking Bacopa extract. Bacopa is an herb used in Ayurvedic medicine to improve memory, concentration, and learning. Animal studies show that in high doses it has anti-epileptic properties. It's generally considered safe. You can read about it here: http://www.ehow.com/info_8128461_uses-bacopa.html

As always with supplements, you need to proceed with caution, since they aren't regulated in the same way that pharmaceuticals are.
