Definitely worth a try. Thanks for the information. I was giving my mother Vit E at one time, but she said the capsule was hard for her to swallow, so I stopped. Maybe I can find a smaller capsule with the recommended dose.
this is very encouraging, as my mom suffers from early stages of dementia. her short-term memory is very poor and if this can help, great! i'll discuss it with her physician. thank you!
I am hopeful at the continued research in Alzheimers and Dementia. Mom has some mild dementia as a Parkinson's patient. She is on a recommended dose of vitamin E, but there is always a concern of blood thinning with E and coumadin (blood thinner). I will have to work with her cardiologist and coumadin clinic to make sure we are using a healthy amount. I would much much rather be taking larger doses of E than more coumadin.....
I had my mother start the larger dose OTC caplets. She said she won't take them anymore. I think they were too large to swallow comfortably. Maybe one of the smaller ones would help and not be so hard to swallow. I know we won't see improvement, but it would be good to slow the loss of mental faculties. My hope is that my mother's mind holds out as long as her body does.
I have my mum on vitamin E now, I guess it will be a while to gauge if it is beneficial ..but my view is it will most probably be more beneficial than harmful! My mum is in her 60s so worth a try for support in every day tasks.
