Susan Yarrawonga	Vitamin B12 is the best energy booster of all the B vitamins and has other health benefits as well but memory improvement is not one of its health benefits. Fish oil and Ginkgo Biloba are supposed to be good for your brain and memory. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Arggg	Yes, it does. I take it every day - I suffered memory loss two years ago and it helps. HOWEVER, there are different types of B-12 - the form I take is methylcobalamin. If you check the back of the bottle, it should say what form the B-12 is in. Cyanocobalamin, another form of B-12, is not as effective on memory. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

maliki001	it is claimed to help memory and metabolism, etc. i have been taking it for years and notice a bit of a difference but Ginseng is probably your best bet. go to your local walk mart or pharmacy and look on the back of a "memory" specific OTC product and find the key ingredients. i bet vitamin B is on there along with Ginseng. maybe a good combination.
