Memory supplements for adults

First steps01

What should adults check before taking a memory supplement?

Adults should check three things first: the medicines they take, their health conditions and whether their memory trouble needs a doctor.

The label tells people with a known medical condition to consult a physician. List everything you take, supplements included. The NCCIH advises telling all your providers about the approaches you use (NCCIH, 7 things to know about supplements and memory).

Self-check02

Is a memory supplement a fit for your situation?

The nine questions below flag when to ask a doctor first. They do not diagnose.

1. Do you take nitrates (for chest pain) or an erection medicine such as sildenafil or tadalafil?YesNo

3. Do you take diabetes medicine or insulin, or watch your blood sugar?YesNo

4. Do you take a blood thinner, a potassium-sparing diuretic, or tuberculosis medicine, or have gout or asthma?YesNo

5. Have you had a heart attack?YesNo

6. Has memory trouble started to get in the way of daily life (getting lost, repeating questions, bills, medicines), or has someone close to you noticed it?YesNo

7. Are you pregnant or nursing?YesNo

8. Are you under 18?YesNo

9. Right now, do you have sudden confusion, a drooping face, weakness in one arm, slurred speech, chest pain or trouble breathing?YesNo

Answer every questionYour result shows here. It is a checklist, not medical advice.

Do you take nitrates (for chest pain) or an erection medicine such as sildenafil or tadalafil? Arginine can lower blood pressure, and so can these medicines. Together the drop could be too much, and nitrates with erection medicines are not allowed together. Ask your doctor or pharmacist first, and never stop a prescribed medicine on your own.

Do you take blood pressure medicine, or have heart disease, or has a doctor told you to avoid exertion? Your heart and blood pressure come first. Arginine has lowered blood pressure in trials at gram doses. Ask your doctor before you add a supplement.

Do you take diabetes medicine or insulin, or watch your blood sugar? Arginine may lower blood sugar, and high doses of nicotinic acid can raise it. Ask your doctor or pharmacist before you start.

Do you take a blood thinner, a potassium-sparing diuretic, or tuberculosis medicine, or have gout or asthma? Mayo lists cautions for arginine with blood thinners and potassium-sparing diuretics, and for gout and asthma. Isoniazid and pyrazinamide interact with niacin. Bring the bottle to your pharmacist.

Have you had a heart attack? Mayo says arginine is not recommended after a heart attack, and a trial after a heart attack saw more deaths in the arginine group. Ask your cardiologist before you start.

Has memory trouble started to get in the way of daily life (getting lost, repeating questions, bills, medicines), or has someone close to you noticed it? That is a reason to see a doctor first, not to try a supplement first. Treatable causes are common, and a visit can find them. Bring the bottle and a family member or friend.

Are you pregnant or nursing? The label says pregnant or nursing mothers should consult a physician before using this or any dietary supplement.

Are you under 18? The label says children under 18 should consult a physician, and the product is sold to adults. Do not start it.

Right now, do you have sudden confusion, a drooping face, weakness in one arm, slurred speech, chest pain or trouble breathing? Call 911 now. Do not drive yourself, and do not wait for a supplement.

Medicines03

Which adults should ask a pharmacist about arginine first?

Adults who take nitrates, erection medicines, or blood pressure, diabetes or blood thinner medicine should ask a pharmacist about arginine first (Mayo Clinic, L-arginine).

Keep taking prescribed medicine as directed while you ask.

Who to ask, and about what
Your situation	Ask
Take nitrates or an erection medicine	Prescriber or pharmacist, before starting
Take blood pressure, diabetes or blood thinner medicine	Prescriber or pharmacist
Pregnant, nursing or under 18	A physician, as the label says

Doctor visit04

When should adults see a doctor about memory instead?

See a doctor when forgetfulness lasts more than a few weeks or gets in the way of daily life.

Warning signs include repeating the same questions and getting lost in familiar places (NIA, Memory problems, forgetfulness and aging). Many causes are treatable, such as medicines, sleep apnea and low vitamin B-12 (Mayo Clinic, Memory loss: when to seek help). Chest pain, stroke signs or sudden confusion: call 911.
