" My own case involves more than memory problems."

Well I certainly hope you do not have it nor get it. I have taken various supplements for many years. I have found several that, to me, are essential for clear thinking and memory. I couldn't do my job without them.

Vitamin B-6 is ABSOLUTELY necessary for me to supplement for ST memory function, #1. 50-100MG per day. I will tell you that all brands are not created equal. At the moment I use a lot of Walgreens finest which are a pretty good value at least.

Magnesium for concentration, 250MGs per day.

Lecithin granules, (Country Life brand is one) get the one that has 97% phosphtides. It is a prime source of the neurotransmitter choline and a fat emulsifier. I chew about a teaspoon full per day but other more palatable methods may be used.

Copper and Manganese are similar in function, useful in small quantities, of 2-3mg and 5-10mg respectively. Will make you irritable in larger quantities. Stay away from Sulfate varieties.........in all supplements.

Vitamin C is a prime ingredient of collagen for arterial health, 1000mg per day, Lysine to vacuum up the particles that cause arterial plaques [LP(a)] 1000mg allowing collagen to be properly used for wall repairs instead.

A good balanced mineral supplement that I have taken off and on for years is KAL brand Amino-Max but I still would add B-6 and possibly extra magnesium depending on your local water supply of course. If you have very hard water, you may have adequate quantities of magnesium.
