If you often feel brain foggy, forgetful, or have trouble remembering things — like that one important errand you definitely had on your to-do list — then you might be in the market for a supplement that helps support memory and cognition.
Memory issues, like being forgetful or foggy, also tend to go hand-in-hand with mental health concerns, like anxiety and depression. That’s why working to reduce stress and/or seeing a qualified mental health professional should be part of the bigger picture, Chen says. It’s possible once you sort out your mental health, those pesky memory issues will fade away.
If you’re already doing all of that or would like to improve your cognition even further, that’s when you might add in a supplement. “Supplements can provide added nutrition,” Chen says, noting that many also decrease the overall inflammatory processes in the body, which studies have shown negatively impacts the brain.
Here, experts share all the best supplements for memory support that you can consider adding to your wellness routine.
