There is no great confirmation that a supplement drink being sold online in the UK to "help" individuals with early Alzheimer's really moderates the malady, say specialists.
Most recent trial brings about patients who took Souvenaid did not discover it jam memory and considering.
The creators say in Lancet Neurology that greater examinations are expected to appear if the item can act as trusted.
What's more, customers ought to know that the £3.49 per bottle drink "isn't a cure".
Producer Nutricia says its drink should just be taken under the bearing of a specialist, authority medical attendant or drug specialist.
What is the drink?
Souvenaid comes in strawberry or vanilla flavor and contains a mix of unsaturated fats, vitamins and different supplements.
Taken once day by day, the thought is that the increase in supplements it gives will help keep Alzheimer's under control in individuals with the most punctual indications of this kind of dementia.
Yet, the most recent stage two clinical trial comes about don't demonstrate this.
What the trial found
The examination included 311 patients with early Alzheimer's or gentle subjective hindrance. Every one of them were made a request to take a day by day drink, however just half were given Souvenaid - the other half got one with no additional supplements.
Following two years of taking an interest, the patients were reassessed to check whether there was any contrast between the two gatherings regarding dementia movement, measured by different memory and psychological tests.
The treatment did not seem to offer leverage, despite the fact that patients in the Souvenaid bunch had marginally less mind shrinkage on checks, which the analysts say is promising on the grounds that shrinkage in cerebrum areas controlling memory is seen with declining dementia.
In any case, specialists stay careful.
Prof Tara Towers Jones, a dementia master at the College of Edinburgh, stated: "A portion of alternate trial of cerebrum structure and capacity were promising, yet general this examination demonstrates that a particular change in sustenance is probably not going to have a substantial effect to individuals with Alzheimer's, even in the beginning periods.
"There is solid confirmation that a sound way of life including exercise and a sound eating routine can help decrease hazard for creating dementia, yet once the cerebrum harm begins, a dietary mediation is probably not going to stop the malady."
Another master, Dr Elizabeth Coulthard from College of Bristol, said individuals should think deliberately before purchasing something that is, up 'til now, doubtful.
Dr David Reynolds, from Alzheimer's Exploration UK, exhorted: "If individuals are stressed over their memory, or are thinking about purchasing and taking Souvenaid as a supplement to deal with their eating regimen, at that point it is vital that they examine this with their GP."
