What is Souvenaid®

The brain communicates through a vast network of billions of nerve cells. These nerve cells or ‘neurons’ link with each other via connections known as ‘synapses’. Synapses allow communication between neurons and make it possible to create and recall memories.

Throughout our lives, we continually lose and re-grow these important brain connections. In a healthy brain, the amount of new synapses balances the loss of old ones, allowing for a sustained net number of synapses.

In the case of Alzheimer’s disease, the loss of synapses becomes accelerated. This loss of synapses is one of the key features of Alzheimer’s disease

What we eat in our daily diet plays an important part in the process because the brain needs key nutrients, such as omega-3 fatty acids, phospholipids, choline, uridine monophosphate and B vitamins to support the generation of new synapses. Research has shown that people with Alzheimer’s disease often have low levels of some key nutrients.⁶

Souvenaid contains a unique combination of key nutrients, called Fortasyn Connect®, to support the growth and function of synapses in the brain⁵ and has been proven to nutritionally support memory function in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease.^1-3

Souvenaid® is available in either ready-to-drink liquid in Vanilla, Cappuccino and Strawberry flavors or powder in Vanilla & Banana and Lemon & Orange flavors and should be taken once daily for a period of at least 6 months.
