I was very surprised to read this study by Cochran which stated that memory supplements have no effect in prevention of dementia or cognitive ability. I found this odd since I myself take them daily and I notice a distinct difference if I don't start my day with a large dose of B12 versus the days I don't. Is it just a placebo effect that I feel sharper when I take the supplements? The study was done over a 5 year period people over 40 and...
