And there are a couple of trials suggesting that it can help with memory, like for some people.

It's actually part of the membrane that's in our neurons.

So like the outer envelope of our neurons have phosphatidylserine in it.

So it kind of makes sense that like maybe it could work.

Uh-huh.

So like those two were like the cream of the crop that this review found.

Okay.

For a lot of the other stuff in this pills, there's either like mixed evidence for it or, you know, nothing at all or like really tiny crappy studies.

Okay.

Yes, I feel like we all hear this.

So I looked into that.

And there are actually a couple studies on this.

Yes.

So they'll typically gather a bunch of people in their 70s and 80s and ask them, okay, who does crossword puzzles?

Right.

And then they'll track them for years and see who gets dementia.

And they find that actually like there might be a benefit here.

The people who say that they do crosswords are less likely to get dementia or maybe they'll get it a few years later than the people who weren't doing the crossword puzzles.

Like they'll have more years of good memory.

Okay.
