Souvenaid Ingredients

Learn about the combination of nutrients in Souvenaid and how this supports memory function.

Souvenaid® is a medical drink proven 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 support the growth of brain connections⁴.

Souvenaid® Liquid is suited for those who want the ease of a ready to drink option. The powder is perfect for travelling or if storage space is an issue. Having both options on-hand at home can provide lots of variety and flexibility.

• Uridine 5’-monophosphate
• Choline
• Omega-3 fatty acids
• Phospholipids
• Vitamins and Minerals: Souvenaid® contains a range of vitamins and minerals including vitamin C, vitamin E, selenium, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, and folic acid.

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 impaired⁵.

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.

Souvenaid® is a medical drink proven to nutritionally support memory function in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease. Souvenaid® is powered by Fortasyn Connect, a unique combination of nutrients formulated to support synapse formation. Souvenaid® has been studied in multiple clinical trials with over 20 years of research^1-3.

Souvenaid is proven to slow memory and cognitive decline by an average of 60% in an early stage of Alzheimer’s disease known as mild cognitive impairment when taken daily for 3 years. Individual results may vary.³

Souvenaid® should be safe and tolerated when taken in combination with Alzheimer’s disease medication⁷ but speak to your healthcare professional if you are taking any other medication.

The above is not intended to be a substitute for medical advice. Always seek health advice from your healthcare professional.

Souvenaid® is a Food for Special Medical Purpose (FSMP) for the dietary management of early Alzheimer’s disease. Must be used under medical supervision. Souvenaid® does not cure or alleviate Alzheimer’s disease.
