Medical Foods hold promise in Chronic Pain Patients
Underutilized until now, medical foods have the potential to improve patient outcomes by alleviating pain and lowering the medication dosage while maximizing tolerability and safety.
Pain
Medical foods like Theramine® are prime candidates to disrupt the $52B global pain management market by providing patients with safe long term solutions for pain management.
Sleep Disorders
Medical foods like Sentra PM® are clinically proven to improve sleep dysfunction and nighttime nervous system function associated with chronic pain, depression and other mental health disorders.
Obesity
For two decades, the Medical Food AppTrim® has been recommended by clinicians to help obese patients safely reduce appetite, control food cravings, and reduce daily caloric intake.
About
Encapsulated Medical Foods are a distinct category of FDA regulated products intended to address the unique nutritional requirements of chronic disease. Medical foods are composed of ingredients that are natural, Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS), and are supported by science and clinical research.
We are entering a new era in medicine wherein they will be seen as an essential component of comprehensive treatment protocols for a variety of disease states. Like drug therapies, medical foods are intended for sick patients and are designed to treat the underlying metabolic changes associated with chronic illness.
Connecting Nutrition to Medicine for Over 2 Decades
Reducing
Medical foods can reduce the burden of chronic illness by addressing the underlying metabolic changes associated with chronic illness. Multiple clinical trials have demonstrated that lower doses of certain drug therapies maintain therapeutic efficacy when administered with a medical food.
Replacing
Medical foods work through a different pathway than drug therapies, helping to promote the production of cell signaling compounds that are often depleted by chronic illness and drug therapies. Clinicians have been using medical foods for decades to replace ineffective or side effect prone therapies.
Restoring
Medical foods work through a nutrient pathway to restore balance to nervous system signaling pathways that are often damaged by chronic illness and certain drug therapies. Restoring nutrient, amino acid and neurotransmitter levels is a key component of any comprehensive treatment plan.
