While today may be April Fools’ Day, it’s worth remembering that ads for “miracle memory pills” don’t just show up once a year. They appear all the time — and they can be incredibly convincing.

We understand why they’re tempting — memory changes can be confusing, frustrating, and sometimes frightening.

But here’s the truth:
There’s no capsule, no overnight cure, and no supplement that can reverse memory loss.

What does make a difference?
Evidence‑based care, early evaluation, and support grounded in science.

Today’s a good day to laugh at the myths and trust the experts.
Happy April Fools’ Day from the HealthPartners Center for Memory & Aging.
