Does Anyone Here Use An Over-The-Counter Memory Product?

Wondering if anyone here has tried the over-the-counter memory products usually advertised on TV. If you do, what do you use and have you experienced any benefits from it for short-term memory?
 

If I have, it didn't work... as I have forgot about it.

On a more serious note, there is this from Healthreview.org, which seems to be a bit dubious to me... but all the way to the bottom, is a list of citations which come from the National Library of Medicine (guvmint) which has papers regarding studies that have been done.

The best I can tell, the studies are undergoing peer review and make mention of further studies needed, with no mention of side effects of studies. They may contain that information, but I nearly went brain dead from boredom. Wow, maybe some more excitement is the cure! Oops... tried that, but the forum didn't like it. :devilish:

The only "over the counter" memory product i use is a Post-It note on the mirror over the bathroom vanity. "Remember, you're fasting, or Susan's birthday!, or take the trash out, dummy," works every time.

The bathroom is the.very.first.place I head upon getting up, so it works quite well.

And it costs much less than those memory pills. 😁
 
I took astragalus root for a while, mostly on Sunday to enjoy the church service because I'd have a hard time staying awake from the beginning of the sermon through to the Amen. It worked like any amphetamine I ever tried, only milder. I have a hunch the magic behind all these nootropics is similar in nature. Good luck though.

I wish there were some serious answers to this question. We have been considering Prevagen but I sure would like some anecdotal information on the various nootropics currently available.

My husband takes it, but I understand you have to take it for months to know if there is any improvement. He's only been taking it for a month or so. I can let you know in 5 months? LOL.

Prevagen seems to be the most heavily advertised "memory" supplement, and contains some ingredient derived from Jellyfish. However, there is no "clinical" evidence that this ingredient works as claimed. I suspect that the primary "positive" is the profits going to the manufacturer.

I think they just use a synthetic ingredient designed to mimic something in jellyfish, but not from jellyfish.
 
I was chatting to the internet guy yesterday, super intelligent man and we talked about memory aids. He said there are some studies being done about Ritalin (ADHD drug), which is looking good. Something maybe to talk to the doctor about.
 
After doing a little research, I decided to go with the main ingredient in Neuriva, Phosphatidylserine, There is some information about this ingredient for memory. This is what I bought, 60 softgels, took my first today after dinner. I'll see if there's any positive affects in sixty days.
