Development of Souvenaid Concept
Souvenaid is the result of research by investigators from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and other international groups being conducted since 2002. Much of the research was led by MIT Professor Richard Wurtman.
The concept of Souvenaid is based on the fact that loss of synapses is one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease and that this hallmark correlates best with memory impairment. There is evidence in the scientific literature that individuals with this condition may lack adequate levels of nutrients important for the formation of new synapses in order to compensate for the experienced loss. Souvenaid has been studied in pre-clinical and clinical studies.
