Precautions
Evidence for benefit is modest and varies between studies, so it should not replace the treatments your doctor has prescribed. Any new or worsening confusion, personality change or difficulty with daily tasks needs proper assessment rather than a supplement. Tell your doctor about all other brain and mood medicines you take.
