Consider curcumin

Turmeric root contains significant amounts of the chemical component curcumin. It belongs to the group of substances known as polyphenols. It has strong anti-inflammatory effects on the body and is a potent antioxidant.

According to studies, curcumin lowers the number of amyloid plaques in the brain as well as oxidative damage and inflammation. These build up on neurons and kill cells and tissues, impairing memory. In fact, the development of amyloid plaques may contribute to the development of Alzheimer's disease. Although additional research in humans is required to determine how curcumin affects memory, some studies indicate it may be helpful for improving memory and preventing cognitive decline.
