Can Lorenzo's Oil help treat diseases other than ALD (adrenoleukodystrophy)?
Lorenzo's Oil is specific to ALD, does not repair myelin, and does not have any known effect on other demyelinating disorders. In ALD presymptomatic boys, however, Lorenzo's Oil often (but not always) prevents the onset of the disease by stopping the body from producing the very long chain fatty acids, whose buildup leads to demyelination.
Who Manufactures the Oil?
Lorenzo's Oil is mufactured by Nutricia. As a recognised leader in specialised nutrition, Nutricia has a mission to lead the use of Advanced Medical Nutrition in disease management.
