Summary

A vitamin nutriceutical, Memory XL, has been shown to provide maintenance of cognitive status in mild, moderate, and severe Alzheimer's disease patients (2 publications by T. Shea). Because this nutriceutical is now patented by the Univ. of Mass., other trials at that institution may be considered a conflict of interest. Therefore, a study of its effects on Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) patients will be conducted by PI who is not affiliated with Univ. of Mass. or with Dr. Shea. The study hypothesis is: Memory XL will maintain or improve the cognitive and behavioral status of patients diagnosed with MCI during the year of participation in the study; normally, 10-25% of MCI patients convert to mild Alzheimer's dementia each year.
