(Los Angeles) As we get older, staying sharp, energetic, and physically comfortable becomes more important than ever. The supplements you choose can play a major role in how well you think, move, and feel each day—especially after 50, when the natural signs of aging become harder to ignore. But with so many options on the shelves, it can be overwhelming to know which brands truly make a difference.

As a long-time healthy-aging researcher and wellness expert, I've reviewed the most popular supplements for adults over 50 to find which ones actually support overall vitality.

The #1 brand genuinely surprised me, but I can see why stores are already increasing inventory for 2025.

5. Prevagen

Prevagen remains a popular choice for memory support, especially among older adults. However, reviews are divided, and many shoppers now prefer more updated formulas that offer broader support for healthy aging.

4. Neuriva

Neuriva is known for its simple, easy-to-take formula and appealing branding. While it may help with everyday focus, many users report that the benefits are fairly narrow, especially compared to newer supplements designed to support multiple aspects of aging.

3. Focus Factor

Focus Factor has long been a familiar option for adults seeking help with concentration and memory. However, its formula leans heavily on basic vitamins and minerals, which many feel limits its ability to offer broader support for overall healthy aging.

2. BrainMD®

BrainMD is a doctor-developed brand that offers targeted nutrients for attention, mood, and cognitive performance. While well-regarded, its products tend to focus on specific brain-related concerns rather than providing more comprehensive, full-body support for adults over 50.

This stuff really made a difference for me. I'm 67 and started feeling foggy every morning… didn't expect much but honestly feel sharper already.

Same here. My memory feels "lighter," if that makes sense. And my joints aren't as stiff in the morning either.

Took me about 2 weeks to notice a real difference, but now I don't feel so sluggish during the day. Even walking the dog feels easier.
