LOS ANGELES – October 6, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

L-Nutra, Inc., the world’s leading nutrition technology company pioneering the discovery, design, and commercialization of novel nutrition solutions, today announced data in Cell Reports demonstrating the effects of fasting-mimicking diets (FMD) in animal models of Alzheimer’s disease and early human safety data. The study reports that FMD cycles reduce cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease pathology in mouse models. The early clinical data also suggest that FMD cycles are safe and feasible in a small group of Alzheimer’s patients. 

Alzheimer’s disease is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive memory loss and a decline in quality of life and lifespan. An estimated 6.5 million Americans aged 65 and older live with Alzheimer’s dementia, and approximately 200,000 under age 65 have early-onset Alzheimer’s. The number of people affected globally by dementia is expected to increase to 152.8 million cases in 2050, primarily due to population aging. FDA-approved drugs for Alzheimer’s only temporarily improve or slow the deterioration of Alzheimer’s symptoms but do not generally affect disease progression. 

“L-Nutra is the world’s pioneering Nutri-Technology company bringing the revolutionary Fasting-Mimicking Technology (FMT) to transform the paradigm of care in four major chronic illnesses: cancer, diabetes, autoimmune diseases, and Alzheimer’s. With this published result, our FMT platform takes another bold step towards turning ‘food into medicine.’ Leveraging the rigor of the biotech industry, we are the leading nutrition company to have a nutrition solution with the potential to impact human longevity and the course of many chronic health conditions,” said Joseph Antoun, M.D., Ph.D., CEO and Chairman of L-Nutra, Inc. 

In this newly published paper, the lead author Professor Valter Longo at USC and investigators from other centers* show that cycles of FMT attenuate cognitive decline, reduce Alzheimer’s pathology and neuroinflammation, and promote neurogenesis and improve cognition in Alzheimer’s mouse models. In a pilot human trial included in the publication, the authors also show that the intervention is safe and feasible in a small group of Alzheimer’s patients.

“The patented FMT in previously published studies demonstrated a clear mechanism of action, supported by successful early human trials that showed safety and efficacy in diabetes and various forms of cancer. This exciting result in a neurodegenerative condition extends the finding that the FMT platform as a unique solution has an upstream and overarching systemic impact on the body,” said Dr. William Hsu, MD, Chief Medical Officer of L-Nutra, Inc. 

L-Nutra plans to evaluate further its FMT platform’s impact on driving various chronic conditions into remission or regression.
