Drinking a nutritional supplement every day could slow the rate of early Alzheimer’s, researchers have controversially claimed.
Scientists said Souvenaid, a £3.49 drink sold by multinational firm Nutricia, could slow shrinkage of the brain, delay cognitive decline and even pause the progression of the disease among patients ‘before it is too late’.
Researchers behind the trial even claimed it was the first evidence of a ‘disease modifying treatment’ for Alzheimer’s – considered the holy grail of dementia research.
