Alzheimer’s disease affects up to 1 in 10 Australians over the age of 65,7 making it the most common form of dementia in Australia.8 The progressive brain degeneration which occurs with Alzheimer’s disease affects memory, thinking skills, emotions, behaviour and mood. As a result, your ability to carry out daily activities becomes impaired over time.8 There is currently no cure and treatment options are limited, especially for patients in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease,9 meaning nutritional and lifestyle modifications are currently one of the recommended ways to help manage the condition and its associated symptoms.
Souvenaid® is a medical nutrition drink that has been formulated to nutritionally support memory function in early Alzheimer’s disease including mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
Research has shown that people with Alzheimer’s disease including MCI often have low levels of some key nutrients including vitamins A, C, E, folate, choline, vitamin B12 and Omega-3.10,11 The brain needs key nutrients in the right combination and at the right level to support the formation of new brain connections, known as synapses. Souvenaid® has been specially formulated to provide these essential nutrients at levels otherwise difficult to achieve through normal diet alone, to nutritionally support the growth of these connections within the brain, known as synapses9.
Souvenaid® is backed by 20 years of evidence-based research, supported by an ongoing research program.
