When should you take cerefolin tablets?

Doctors prescribe cerefolin NAC for people in the early stages of memory loss caused by high homocysteine levels and neurovascular oxidative stress, according to Brain Research Supplement. Cerefolin NAC slows the progression of vascular dementia, Alzheimer's disease and memory loss from vitamin B-12 deficiency.

Cerofolin NAC is a prescription supplement that contains folate, vitamin B-12 and the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine, which work together to reduce oxidative stress and lower homocysteine levels, notes Brain Research Supplement. The supplement works by stimulating the body's production of hormones that are necessary for good memory. The side effects of the supplement include bloating, headache, diarrhea, itching and vomiting. Some individuals may experience severe allergic reactions to the supplement.
