Many of the pharmaceuticals that might help with memory are prescription based to fight certain mental ailments, but they also tend to have a lot of negative side effects.
That being said, the most popular natural products for brain health are Ginkgo Biloba, Acetyl L-Carnitine, Fish Oil (Omega 3), Phosphatidylserine (abbreviated PS), DMAE, Huperzine A, Bacopa Monnieri (or Monniera), and Vinpocetine.
There are a LOT of people that get a lot of benefit from any combination of those. I would suggest adding one at a time to your daily regiment as too much too fast can be tough. I would recommend starting pretty much in order of how I listed them… that’s a pretty good listing in order of popularity and effect for the general population. Good luck and I hope I helped!

There is nothing that can be backed up with scientific research, period! The supplements, over the counter, are a bunch of hype!
>”I have trouble remembering stuff alot.”
That’s because you’re lazy, and don’t write stuff down so you can remember it! Your mind is similar to your muscles, if you don’t exercise it, it gets weak! Also, people remember what they want to remember (what’s important to them). Unless you have “brain damage”, there’s nothing wrong with your memory!
Vitamins:
5-HTP
Omega 3 fatty acids
Fish oils of any type
Drugs:
Progisil
Adderall (or any amphetamine that aids in concentration and focus such as ritalin)
hope that helps.
There are lots of vitamins and supplements on the market that can help with memory. The most basic would be a good Vitamin-B Complex, which is pretty cheap and you can find them anywhere. Also, if you’re taking a multivitamin, they come with a full assortment of B Vitamins (if you are not already on a multivitamin, that would be a good place to start). Also, fish oils. These can be found in liquid or capsule form. I prefer the capsules as they are easier to take and do not smell. You can find them at health food stores.
Beyond that, you can look into specific individual ingredients like Ginkgo or Ginseng or Vinpocetine. These products can be found on their own at health food stores, or inside ‘brain products’ or ‘mental supplements’. Below is a list of the most popular / best-reviewed products for memory, attention, and focus:
