Alzheimer's Disease
Supplements studied for alzheimer's disease.
Overview
SupplementDEX indexes 28 supplements for Alzheimer's disease across 78 studies. Several carry medium ratings (DEX Score 60), though none are established treatments.
Vitamin E may slow functional decline in moderate Alzheimer's disease by roughly six months in some trials, but does not prevent disease or help mild cognitive impairment. Acetyl-L-Carnitine may slow worsening and improve memory, thinking, and behavior, especially in earlier-onset, rapidly progressing cases.
Phosphatidylserine (bovine-derived) may improve cognition and behavior for up to 12 weeks in mild cases. Panax Ginseng and Ginkgo also carry medium ratings but are limited by small or inconsistent trials. See the heatmap and evidence reviews below for all 28 supplements.
