What is Aldixyl®?

Aldixyl® is a food for special medical purposes indicated for the treatment of patients suffering from adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) and adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN).

 

Benefits from including it in the diet plan

The daily inclusion of Aldixyl® in the diet of patients with ALD and AMN brings significant benefits to the clinical picture of the patient taking it regularly, in combination with the use of Aldixyl® OILife.

The unique formulation of Aldixyl® crosses the blood-brain barrier and makes it possible to:

  • Lower VLCFA levels in plasma and the CNS (Central Nervous System)
  • Increase peroxisomal beta-oxidation
  • Reduce IL-6 in the CSF (cerebrospinal fluid)
  • Prevent the propagation phase of the peroxidative process
  • Prevent protein oxidation

However, it remains necessary to reduce the intake of foods containing very long chain fatty acids (VLCFA) and the prescription of a low VLCFA diet should be prepared by a nutritionist.

 

Production process

The production process made it possible to refine the formula through the addition of substances to reduce oxidative stress.

This innovative combination also allows a marked improvement in patient compliance.

The neutral and natural aroma of the product ensures better palatability.

The GTO/GTE mixture (triglyceride esters of the two compounds) is obtained through a gentle esterification and purification process.

 

Composition

The action of Aldixyl® is determined by its composition, which ensures the optimal balance between Oleic and Erucic acid, by the presence of Triglycerides of Conjugated Linoleic Acid (TGCLA), which are able to exert their fat metabolism regulating action directly on the nervous system, and finally by the presence of the unique blend of selected and powerful antioxidants, Alfaxyl®® (alpha-lipoic acid) and Vitamin E.

From a nutritional point of view, however, it is necessary to reduce the intake of foods containing very long chain fatty acids (VLCFA).

The development of low VLCFA diets should be carried out by a nutritionist.

The 3rd Generation formula contains:

  • GTO and GTE – Triglycerides of oleic acid and erucic acid in a 4:1 ratio
  • TGCLA – Triglycerides of Conjugated Linoleic Acid
  • ALFAXYL®Antioxidants, in a proprietary blend patented by Pharmaelle
  • Vitamin E E – Powerful fat-soluble antioxidant

 

Amber bottle

The inviolability of Aldixyl® is ensured by the use of a dark bottle suitable for containing the product and preventing damage from sun exposure, with a cap that, thanks to its ring nut, guarantees a perfect seal.

The bottle is placed in a package designed and developed to correctly preserve the chemical-physical and organoleptic features of the mixture.

L‘astuccio che racchiude il flacone ha lo scopo di evitare l’esposizione alla luce, la quale potrebbe innescare i processi di deterioramento del prodotto. Moreover, the 300 ml format is the most suitable for a long shelf life.

Thanks to the technology used in product development and the care and controls also present in the packaging processes, the stability of Aldixyl® is guaranteed for at least 36 months from the date of production..
