Abstract

With an increase in the number of patients diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, it is not surprising that there is a consistent increase in use of nutraceuticals and other over-the-counter medications to combat memory complaints and ideally treat dementia. Throughout this review article, the authors highlight recent literature updates on B vitamins, vitamin D, vitamin E, omega-3 fatty acids, and gingko biloba. Similar to any other medication, it is imperative to evaluate the risks and benefits in older patients, especially in light of comorbidities and existing medications.
