Axona helps patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease by addressing diminished cerebral glucose metabolism4
Extensive evidence from three decades of research has established that diminished cerebral glucose metabolism (DCGM, also known as glucose hypometabolism) is a key underlying pathology in the Alzheimer’s brain.1 This leaves neurons less able to utilize glucose for fuel, leading to an energy shortage in the brain.1 DCGM occurs early in the disease and correlates with symptoms and disease progression.5-9
Axona helps address this deficiency by providing ketone bodies as an alternative fuel source for neurons.3,4 Axona is the only available prescription medical food that addresses DCGM.2,4 Adding Axona to Alzheimer’s disease management addresses different aspects of the disease at the same time and may further enhance memory and cognition.*4
