Has anyone tried the memory restoring pill Memopezi Bill Gates is advertising.
The adverting is a long video with the prices for different size offers at the end and then the order process.
I googled Memopezil and the AI response was that it's a hoax. I would like to believe it is a effective memory improvement as I do feel my memory is slipping away.
So just thought before I ordered it I'd check with the DU crowd who are so well versed in so many things to see if anyone has tried it.
I am inclined to think it's a scam, but because I want to believe it works, just thought I'd check with our knowledgeable DU'ers on the off chance someone did use it and it worked,

Good luck to you!
I've read lately that listening to music really helps memory. 
If you're looking for brain health supplements that have actual research behind them, here are a few worth considering:
Then they list 5 things, of which 3 are Phosphatidylserine, Bacopa monnieri, and Lion's mane mushroom.
Which in fact are all purportedly ingredients of this shady supplement lol.
So, obviously, it ain't curing Alzheimer's, and the endorsements are bogus, but as far as "memory supplements" go, it's your standard stuff, its ingredients endorsed by this very same article.
That observation would make me take anything I read on this site with a grain of salt, but that's just me
With no regulatory body certifying the contents, buyers would have to trust the seller/manufacturer that that contents list is accurate and the proportions (if the contents are legit) are appropriate.
There are a bunch of other sources debunking the claims presented. I just lazily quoted the first one I found.
On a recent episode of his “Chasing Life” podcast, Dr. Sanjay Gupta talked about how deepfake videos of him promoting supplements have been around for a few years. He’s repeatedly tried to warn consumers, but the scammers persist.
I’d immediately be suspicious of any product “endorsed” by somebody like Bill Gates! Pretty sure he doesn’t need the money. 
Joe Namath, now, different story. I trust his medical expertise implicitly! 
And you're right, you never know what you'll really get with "supplements" anyway.
And I wasn't meaning to sound critical of you sharing the article. It was just amusing to me that the article went on to like 5 things that are somewhat legit, and 3 of them were ingredients of the product they were panning (again, purportedly as you point out).
The author should've included a caveat somewhere in there to address the dichotomy is all I'm saying. It's a bit sloppy to not do so
Agreed and no worries. Thanks.
I can’t remember
JFC 
and also - skip this shit - pick a language and take daily free lessons from Duolingo - that will test your memory better than any fucking pill
There’s No Such Thing As Brain Honey—Dementia ‘Cure’ Is A Scam
https://www.forbes.com/sites/emmawoollacott/2026/04/21/theres-no-such-thing-as-brain-honey/
False reports, including a fake CNN screenshot, are circulating on social media, claiming that a product based on honey can cure Alzheimer's disease.
Under names such as Brain Honey, Mind Boost, Brain Vex or Memopezil, scammers are touting products said to be able to reverse the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease or dementia, often with claims that they've been endorsed by Bill Gates.
Some reports also cite other celebrities, including Steve Martin, Samuel L. Jackson, Chris Hemsworth, Dr. Sanjay Gupta and news anchor Savannah Guthrie, as having endorsed the products.
But, said fact-checking site Snopes, "We found no evidence that Gates created, endorsed or sold products marketed under names such as 'Brain Honey’, 'Mind Boost' and ‘Memopezil.’ Rather, the ads and landing pages matched a familiar scam pattern of using Gates' name and image to draw people into long sales pitches for unproven supplements."

Although I was hoping there was some truth behind it.
Dementia and memory loss runs in my family pretty deep so its definitely genetic (although some of my past life style choices probably didn't help 
). I take Aricept currently to help slow it. I also try and do things like I did before computers. I use a Thesaurus and a Dictionary, physical ones, when I need to look up things. I have about 30 years worth of National Geographic magazines. I'll pull some randomly and read them (it's amazing how much stuff is in those that I had forgotten lol). Also reading, basically exercising your brain and memory however you can. Not sure if you're in the same boat, but I need to do these things to keep the Grey Matter from going dark as long as possible. Not saying it can't be reversed but it depends on the causes according to my Neurologist and in my case its my body or my brain over the next 15 years. Most people on my fathers side need cared for by 75 but in cruel twist I have 5 direct relatives going back to my Great Grandparents who lived to be 100+. None of them knew it as far as I could tell.
Don't fret and don't look for miracles. Exercise the mind, it's good for the soul!!
Oh, and I ace that stupid test every year wink wink lol
I too am trying to use my brain more. All the best to you. Sounds like you're facing this head on. Didn't have any relatives who made it to 100, but all my grandparent reached their 90's. 
shouldn't be needed, but 
wasabi extract aids memory
Wasabi is a traditional Japanese spice/condiment (a variety of horseradish) which is sufficiently common in Japan that researchers could survey patients for whether or not they used wasabi, and blind-study test their memories to get the data they needed -- a sort of "natural experiment", as such things are known. The beneficial effects have been traced to a naturally occurring sulfoxide -- similar to the cancer-fighting chemical(s) in broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables.
lutein zeaxanthin aids memory
This was a serendipitous discovery -- people taking lutein for eye problems discovered their memories were improving. That's similar to how Viagra was discovered, FWIW. Lutein is found naturally in the human brain, so harmful effects seem minimally plausible. 
ETA: I just learned broccoli contains a compound known as glucoraphanin, which decomposes to produce
6-(methylsulfinyl) hexyl Isothiocyanate (aka sulforaphane, or (4-methylsulfinylbutyl isothiocyanate)) the SAME active ingredient in wasabi !
