My mom took it and it did help for several years.
The key test is when they can't tell time with an analogue watch or clock. Ask them to draw a clock or draw the hands of a clock at pick a time, if they cant do it, they are starting the brain decline of dementia / alzheimers.
good luck, my mom turns 98 in two weeks and can't remember anything, that isn't in her regular routine daily. .

Count your blessings, my mom was late 70s.Today she no longer knows who I am and gets violent if I enter the room, “I am a stranger”. The bright light is she thinks our daughter is me, and our granddaughter is her mother. Our hope is she stays at that level until the end, but if wishes we’re ponies_______.
