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.
And there were some things that had a little bit of evidence behind them.
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.
I was like, maybe there's something there.
And then I wanted to mention one other one called phosphatidylserine.
You'll find it in some of these supplements also.
