Subjective memory impairment (SMI) is a common complaint among older people. We performed a double-blind, placebo-controlled study1 which showed that deuterated two carbon fragments ameliorated the condition but at the expense of objective memory function. Future studies are needed to confirm the results before endorsing the treatment of SMI with deuterated ethyl alcohol.
