What sites promoting Cognizil say is in it, what those ingredients have been studied for, and the side effects and medicine interactions you should know about first.

Before anything else – medicine interactions: one ingredient listed for Cognizil, St. John's wort, can interact with many common medicines, including antidepressants, birth-control pills, blood thinners, heart and HIV medicines. Ginkgo can affect bleeding – take care before surgery or with a bleeding disorder. If you take any prescription medicine, are pregnant or breastfeeding, ask your doctor or pharmacist first.

Side effects and interactions

St. John's wort

Known to interact with many medicines, including antidepressants, birth-control pills, blood thinners, heart medicines and HIV medicines. It can make some of them work less well.

Ginkgo

Can affect bleeding. Take care before surgery, if you have a bleeding disorder or if you take blood thinners.

Who should ask a doctor first

Anyone taking any prescription medicine
Anyone before surgery or with a bleeding disorder
Pregnant or breastfeeding women

Real or worsening memory problems deserve a check-up with a doctor – some causes are treatable.

Bottom line: the formula uses well-known "brain" ingredients, but St. John's wort makes a doctor or pharmacist check essential if you take any medicine. Once you've done that, read the label on the order page.
