Let's start with supplements because there's this like parade of supplements going around the podcast circuit.

And, you know, there's big influencers who are into them, sometimes selling them.

And so I wanted to look at the science, and I actually found this really big review that came out recently that's sort of perfect for answering this.

Okay.

So what they did is they looked at a ton of different supplements that are supposedly good for memory, over 100 of them.

And then they looked at the most common ingredients, like the stuff that just popped up again and again and again to find out whether anything really works.

Okay.

And there were some things that had a little bit of evidence behind them.

Uh-huh.

So there's this chemical called curcumin.

It's the thing that's in turmeric.

And that's actually been found to help a little bit with something called working memory, which is kind of your ability to, like, keep things in your head at the moment, like remembering what I just said a few seconds ago.

But it doesn't seem like it really helped for other types of memory.

Uh-huh.

Yeah, I was surprised too.

I was like, maybe there's something there.

Uh-huh.

And then I wanted to mention one other one called phosphatidylserine.

Try to mention this other one.

Phosphatidylserine.
