THERE IS STILL MORE YOU CAN DO IN ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE

Axona is a prescription medical food intended for the clinical dietary management of the metabolic processes associated with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease. The human brain relies almost exclusively on glucose as a source of energy. Research shows that, in Alzheimer’s disease patients, there is a dramatic drop in the brain’s ability to metabolize glucose.

Axona addresses energy deficiencies in the brain by providing an alternative source of energy. In clinical trials, patients taking Axona experienced cognitive improvement in 45 days.

Axona has demonstrated safety and effectiveness in clinical trials. Axona is available by prescription only and its use must be supervised by a licensed healthcare professional. For more detailed information on the classification of medical foods, see Understanding Alzheimer’s- Medical Foods.

You are encouraged to download and print the Patient Information Sheet, to help you and your doctor better understand Axona. Bring this information sheet with you to your next doctor’s visit.
