Vascular dementia
Supplements studied for vascular dementia.
Overview
Alpha-GPC and Panax Ginseng are the two supplements studied for vascular dementia, both with limited evidence. Alpha-GPC given by injection daily for three months may help thinking, mood, and daily functioning in mild to moderate disease, working about as well as CDP in one small study.
Panax Ginseng has only been tested in a combination product with ginkgo and saffron (SaiLuoTong), which slightly improved cognition and daily activities over 16 weeks, though benefits faded after stopping. Both carry low ratings. See the heatmap and evidence reviews below.
