In a written article for this website (available HERE), as well as in a three-part video series (viewable on Youtube HERE, HERE, and HERE), I covered my personal list of twenty-five herbs that may be useful for preventing — or even treating — various forms of cognitive impairment and dementia, including Alzheimer’s Disease.
Subsequently, I was asked where interested people could obtain some of the herbs that I discuss.
Of course, Amazon.com is commonly cited as an accessible and trustworthy supplier. So, below, please find the twenty-five (25) herbs that I discuss in conjunction with Alzheimer’s Disease.
For each one, I have tried to list entries and items in three (3) categories: capsules, liquid extracts, and powders.
Herbs may be more potent in one form over another. Also, bear in mind that non-standardized supplements may vary widely in terms of herbal content – even considering different batches of the same product from the same manufacturer.
In general, medical and nutritional capabilities will depend upon plant growing and harvesting conditions, as well as on the particulars of processing and transportation of the final goods.
I cannot and do not recommend any of these supplements as treatments for any condition. Herbs may have side effects and contradictions. It’s a good idea to consult with a trusted healthcare professional before incorporating any of these into your diet or supplement repertoire.
However, on a personal note, I have – and use – many of these myself with no ill effects. Though, your experience will be unique to your history and circumstances, and my differ from mine.
