Preliminary results among trial participants show an improvement in alertness, memory recall, balance, quality of sleep, sleep latency, sleep duration, as well as a reduction in nighttime awakenings.

“Medical foods provide physicians with a non-addictive and effective prescription alternative to the traditional pharmacologic treatments currently utilized in the skilled nursing setting,” said board certified rheumatologist Dr. Silver. “These medications offer patients a safer way to manage pain, sleep and cognitive disorders, without the risks associated with many single molecule agents currently utilized in this setting.”
