Abstract in brief

  • The study investigated whether a medium-chain triglyceride (MCT)-based ketogenic formula could improve cognitive function in patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD).
  • In an initial test, a single intake of the ketogenic formula increased ketone levels in the blood, but did not significantly improve cognitive test scores compared to a placebo.
  • Over a 12-week period of daily ketogenic formula consumption, most patients showed significant improvements in memory, processing speed, and cognitive functions, suggesting potential benefits of the ketogenic diet for Alzheimer's patients.]
