What Is MCI?
Forgetting things from time to time can be a normal part of aging, but some people have more memory loss problems than others their age. This memory loss condition is called mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
MCI affects approximately 20% of people aged 65 and over. People with MCI can still take care of themselves and do normal activities.
What Are the Signs of MCI?
Some forgetfulness can be a normal part of aging, but some people have more mild memory loss problems than others their age, which may be a sign of MCI. Symptoms of MCI may include:
- Forgetting to go to events and appointments
- Losing things often
- Having trouble coming up with words more than other people your age
- Losing your train of thought or having difficulty following a conversation
- Finding it hard to make decisions or follow instructions
- Getting lost in familiar surroundings
What to Do If You Think You or Someone You Love Has MCI
If you're concerned about your brain health or you or a loved one are showing signs of MCI, make an appointment with a healthcare provider. They can test your thinking, memory, and language to see if you have MCI. They may also send you to a specialist for more tests. Because MCI can sometimes be an early sign of Alzheimer's disease, if you are diagnosed with MCI, it's very important to see your healthcare provider every 6 to 12 months.
If you or someone you are caring for is experiencing memory loss, it is possible that a specific nutritional imbalance is causing the body to need more active folate. You may not be able to get enough active folate from a folic acid supplement or multivitamin. Unlike the folic acid found in most supplements, Cerefolin Brain Wellness™ caplets contain an active form of folate (L-Methylfolate) that does not need to be broken down or activated by the body before it can be used.
L-Methylfolate affects an important chemical in the brain associated with memory, and the ingredients in Cerefolin Brain Wellness™ help protect brain cells to preserve cognitive health.
Cerefolin Brain Wellness™ is targeted nutrition in caplet form specially formulated to meet the distinctive nutritional requirements of individuals with MCI. Addressing certain underlying imbalances with this targeted nutrition may help you retain your ability to learn, remember, understand, and function longer. Starting as early as possible is important to help protect your brain health.
