He actually could be having a stroke.


He could have Dementia or Alzheimer’s disease.

He could have a concussion.

He could have brain damage from substance abuse or smoking.

Treatment for memory loss depends on the cause. In many cases, it may be reversible with treatment.

For example, memory loss from medications may resolve with a change in medication.

Nutritional supplements can be useful against memory loss caused by a nutritional deficiency. And treating depression may be helpful for memory when depression is a factor.

In some cases -- such as following a stroke -- therapy may help people remember how to do certain tasks such as walking or tying shoes.

In others, memory may improve over time.

Treatments may also be specific to conditions related to memory loss.

For example, drugs are available to treat memory problems related to Alzheimer's disease, and drugs to help lower blood pressure can help reduce risk of more brain damage from dementia related to high blood pressure.

Hope this helped!

C
You want to have evidence supporting the effectiveness of the supplement.

A large following doesn’t mean the person or group is not faking. The cost doesn’t determine effectiveness. And just because steps are easy to follow, it doesn’t change the fact that the supplement might not work.

* Vitamin A which is fat soluble is stored in the body.

* Vitamin A is found in foods of animal and vegetable origin. Vegetable foods contain carotenoids (an orange-colored pigment), a form of vitamin A. Carotenoids, such as beta-carotene, are converted to vitamin A by the body.
