Discover the unique combination of nutrients in Souvenaid®.
Key points
Souvenaid® is a medical drink formulated to nutritionally support memory function in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease including mild cognitive impairment, backed by 20 years of research.1-3 Souvenaid® is powered by Fortaysn® Connect, a unique combination of nutrients formulated to nutritionally support the growth of brain connections.4
Early Alzheimer’s disease is characterised by a loss of brain connections (synapses) and cells (neurons). In a healthy brain these connections are critical for the formation of memory, learning and personality. In Alzheimer’s disease, neurons become damaged and their ability to send messages via these connections becomes impaired.5
In a healthy brain, formation of neurons and synapses is supported with a healthy varied diet. However, there is evidence that people with early Alzheimer’s disease including MCI often have low levels of some key nutrients.6
The brain needs key nutrients – omega-3 fatty acids, phospholipids, choline, uridine monophosphate and B vitamins – in the right combination and at the right level to replace the synapses.
Souvenaid® has been specially formulated to provide these essential nutrients at levels otherwise difficult to achieve through diet alone.
The effects of Souvenaid® are not instant. It takes time for the nutrients in Souvenaid® to be taken up and used by the body. Research has shown that Souvenaid® needs to be taken once daily for at least 6 months to nutritionally support memory function in people with early Alzheimer’s disease.1-3
