AD Support QueryUpdated 2 months ago
No, Metabolics no longer offers an “AD Support” product or protocol. Instead, there are a number of nutrients that may be considered for general brain and cognitive health support, in line with UK/EU food supplement regulations and always alongside appropriate medical care.
Do you offer AD Support?
No, Metabolics does not offer a specific “AD Support” product and this type of support is being discontinued. Metabolics cannot diagnose, treat, prevent, or cure Alzheimer’s disease or any other medical condition, and no food supplement should be used as a replacement for medical advice or prescribed medicines.
If you have concerns about memory, cognition, or possible Alzheimer’s disease, please speak to your GP, specialist, or another qualified healthcare professional as a first step. They can review symptoms, medications, and test results and then advise whether nutritional support is appropriate in your individual case.
Nutrients for general brain health
The following nutrients and Metabolics formulas are sometimes considered, with a practitioner, in the context of general brain and cognitive health. These are not Alzheimer’s treatments and should not be presented as such in any communication.
Omega‑3 (DHA‑rich): DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function at adequate intakes and is widely recognised as an important structural fat in the brain.
Vitamin D3 & K2 (2500 IU): Supports normal immune function, normal absorption and utilisation of calcium, and maintenance of normal bones and teeth, in line with authorised claims for vitamins D and K.
Turmeric with Piperine: Provides standardised curcuminoids with piperine to support absorption, positioned primarily for antioxidant and anti‑inflammatory support such as joint and general systemic health.
Vitamin E Tocotrienols: Supplies tocotrienol‑rich vitamin E to help protect cells from oxidative stress as per authorised vitamin E claims.
Anti‑Homocysteine Formula: Combines B‑vitamins to support normal homocysteine metabolism, an authorised health claim for vitamins B6, B9 (folate), and B12.
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10): Central to mitochondrial energy production (ATP) and acts as a lipid‑soluble antioxidant, important in high‑energy tissues.
Acetyl L‑Carnitine & Alpha Lipoic Acid: Provides nutrients involved in mitochondrial energy metabolism and antioxidant defence, including in nervous system tissues.
N‑Acetyl Cysteine (NAC): A precursor to cysteine that supports intracellular glutathione production, contributing to the body’s antioxidant defences.
Any suggestions about slowing disease progression, reducing brain atrophy, or altering the course of Alzheimer’s would be considered unauthorised medical claims and must not be made in customer‑facing content or conversations.
How to choose and use products
Because every person’s situation is different, especially where there is a diagnosis (or suspected diagnosis) of dementia, it is important to review supplements case‑by‑case with a practitioner. Factors to consider include:
Current diagnoses and medications, to avoid interactions or duplication.
Existing supplement regimen and diet, to avoid over‑supplementation and ensure a balanced approach.
Practical aspects such as capsule size, dosing frequency, and ability to swallow or comply with a regimen.
For more tailored nutrition‑focused guidance, Metabolics offers telephone consultations with a trained Nutritional Therapist, who can discuss nutrients and product options from a general, educational perspective. This does not replace medical care and cannot provide a diagnosis or prescribe treatment.
When to seek urgent medical advice
Seek urgent medical advice from a doctor or emergency service if you notice a sudden change in memory, confusion, speech, vision, severe headache, weakness, or behaviour, as these may indicate an acute medical problem requiring immediate assessment. Supplements should never delay or replace emergency medical care.
