Can vitamins help improve memory in people with epilepsy?
Tuesday, September 16th, 2008Vitamins E and B complex can help improve memory in people who experience seizures
It is not unusual for people who have epilepsy to have some difficulties with their memory. Vitamin E, an antioxidant, has been reported to slow dementia and improve scores of depression and cognitive function in some patients. Antioxidants, which can protect brain cells, act as buffers against possible damage caused by free radical molecules, thereby keeping brain cells healthy and working better.
Good sources of Vitamin E are popular foods such as grains, nuts, liver, peanut butter, wheat germ, vegetable oil and avocado.
Please consult with your physician before starting to take any new medication, vitamins, or supplements. Discuss the proper dosage and possible interactions with your prescription medications.
