Detailed Answer:
Hi dear.Thanks for writing back.

Axona is a medical food. It’s different from a prescription drug.It contains medium chain triglyceride.Studies have shown that people who were on Axona remained stable and actually got a little bit better.It is an add-on to existing standard of care to improve memory especially in Alzheimer's and other diseases.People having certain type of genetic profile might do better than the rest.

Hope this answers your query.
