Brief Answer:
Detail Follows.
Detailed Answer:
Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I understand your concern.
See you have to accept one thing and that is that ageing process is a normal phenomenon and that can't be reversed or stopped. Do brain functions also decline with age.
If a person is healthy we don't advice any supplements.
However if there is deficiency of Vitamin B12 that can be given.
For established dementia due to old age and Alzheimer's disease there are few drugs which are used with doubtful efficacy like Gingko biloba extract, Co enzyme Q10, Donepezil.
If you have any further query please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
