Home Remedies for Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD)

Home Remedies for Frontotemporal Dementia

Little solid evidence exists that antioxidants and other supplements help people with frontotemporal dementia. There has been some controversy over the use of high doses of vitamin E to help slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease. Based on modest success with Alzheimer's disease, some doctors may recommend that patients with frontotemporal dementia take 1,000 IUs of vitamin E twice a day.

A person with frontotemporal dementia and family members should talk with his or her doctor about whether to take antioxidants and other supplements, such as coenzyme Q10, vitamin C, and B vitamins, to support brain health.
