Abstract in brief

  • The global market for over-the-counter memory supplements was valued at $7.6 billion in 2021 and is expected to grow significantly by 2030, with the U.S. contributing a large portion of sales.
  • The review found that most memory supplements contain common ingredients like vitamins B6, B9, B12, omega-3s, and herbal extracts, but scientific evidence supporting their effectiveness for improving memory is limited or mixed.
  • While some supplements like ashwagandha, choline, curcumin, ginger, and lion's mane show potential benefits, many popular ingredients, including coenzyme Q10, Ginkgo biloba, and vitamin D, lack strong proof of memory improvement, highlighting a gap between product availability and scientific support.]
