Accera sells Axona, an easy-mix powder that is added to milk or other liquids to make a once-daily drink. Axona is already given to 30,000 patients in the U.S. Axona is made from a compound derived from coconut oil that purports to provide an alternative energy source for the brain. In theory, this would help Alzheimer's patients because their brains are less able to use glucose for the energy they need.However, the company states-
In our clinical studies with Axona, participants were not asked to change their diets and most were on standard U.S. diet (rich in carbohydrates).Funny thing- Your brain uses glucose first. So if you don't restrict your carbs, your brain won't even use the ketones. It's completely pointless.
But for the record, coconut oil doesn't relieve dementia because of the ketone bodies, it works because it's antiviral. Coats the mouth and prevents herpes virus reactivation.
I guess that's better than Nestle Chocolate- which activates them...
