Thank you for asking!
lets first discuss the memory issue. Ceraloft is an antidepressant called sertraline and is a sister to zoloft. These help depression and we al know depression itself is a great triggering factor to memory decline. Forgetfulness and declining memory is an inevitable and easily missed sign of depression.
Also age related memory decline is very common inevitable facts. But a good balanced and healthy lifestyle and dietary routine may spare or at least delay the memory decline process.
