Mild Cognitive Impairment Supplement Plan

The following supplement plan is designed for people who have been diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment. It includes a single supplement product from BrainMD that contains a good cross-section of the list of evidence-based supplements that benefit brain health. Although this product does not contain all the beneficial supplements, it does provide a simple and low-cost way to obtain a good cross-section of the supplements you need.

This supplement plan should be used in combination with the advice of your physician as cognitive problems are associated with medical issues that require diagnosis by a physician to evaluate the need for testing and prescription medication. Do not stop taking prescription medication without consulting your physician.

Below, you'll find supplement recommendations, but diet and lifestyle are extremely important too. Read more in our article: Decoding Brain Health: Supplements Offer Hope for Reversing Cognitive Decline and Early Alzheimer’s.
