Ashwagandha seems to do everything. And a new study says that it does it safely.
There is more and more evidence that healthy diet can reduce the risk of cognitive decline and dementia.
Seniors with mild cognitive impairment have more trouble with memory and thinking than expected with aging, but the trouble is not serious enough to cause the more catastrophic problems of Alzheimer’s Disease.
Ginkgo is probably the best, and best studied, herb for dementia and Alzheimer’s. This new meta-analysis adds to that foundation.
Many seniors feel the effects of cognitive decline that impact their quality of life. New research is showing that a simple healthy fat can help.
Mango is appreciated as a fruit, but it is little known as a botanical medicine. This new study on cognition may change that.
Though not talked about much, mango has actually been used traditionally in the Ayurvedic system of India, not just as a food, but as a botanical medicine. Components found in the leaves and stem have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties.

An intriguing recent finding is that many plants in the mint family are great for enhancing cognition. Proven mints include rosemary, sage, lemon balm, and peppermint.
Several studies have shown that inhaling peppermint aroma or consuming peppermint improves cognition, memory and attention.
Two major new studies link vitamin D to dementia prevention. One found that low vitamin D levels were associated with a 54% higher risk of dementia, while the other showed that people who supplemented with vitamin D had a 40% lower risk of developing the disease. These findings highlight vitamin D’s powerful potential to support long-term brain health.
A new study suggests vitamin D and probiotics may help improve cognition in people with schizophrenia. Participants who took both for 12 weeks showed significant gains on cognitive tests—offering a safe, simple way to support brain health.
A tiny supplement may offer big support for aging brains. In a new study, seniors with mild cognitive impairment who took spirulina showed significant improvements in memory and learning—offering a safe, nutrient-rich boost for brain health.
