Effect of Vitamin D on Cognitive Decline of Patients With Memory Complaint

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Memory Disorders
Age-Related Cognitive Decline
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT02185222
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Tours
Brief Summary

As recommended allowance of oral vitamine D are unable to ensure the recommended serum concentration of vitamine D, the purpose of this study is to show that a dose of vitamin D3 higher than the recommended allowance may slow the cognitive decline of patients with a memory complaint.
