Gee, I dunno, I knew once, but I guess I forgot ....
Some people think LC causes memory loss ... is that your concern? If so, I wouldn't worry about it.
I don't know about supplements, but what I do know (as a long-time adult student) is that memory needs to be trained. There are lots of ways of improving memory that have nothing to do with supplements. Look at the ancient Greeks and Romans, and consider the great long speeches they memorized. People who don't depend on writing learn to cultivate their memories.
I won't argue for or against supplements, but consider buying or borrowing a book on techniques to improve memory. I find even a simple mnemonic works wonders. Mnemonics are free and have no side effects.
