Active Ingredient	Uses based on scientific evidence	Grade*
black tea (camellia sinensis)	several preliminary studies have examined the effects of caffeine, tea, or coffee use on short and long-term memory. it remains unclear if tea is beneficial for this use.	c
cranberry (vaccinium macrocarpon)	preliminary study results show that cranberry juice may increase overall ability to remember. further well-designed clinical trials are needed to confirm these results.	c
creatine	early studies show that creatine may improve cognition in certain populations, such as vegetarians and the elderly. further research is required before recommendations can be made.	c
dhea	studies of the effects of dehydroepiandrosterone (dhea) on cognition have produced complex and inconsistent results. additional study is warranted in this area.	d
ginkgo (ginkgo biloba l.)	it remains unclear if ginkgo is effective. further well-designed research is needed as existing study results conflict.	c
