Benefits: Increases in average and maximal lifespan—
up to a 40% increase is seen in mammals. Decreases in cancer incidence—up to a 55%
decrease. Decreases in neurodegenerative diseases
such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Complete protection against type II
diabetes. Reduction in cardiovascular risk and, in
particular, atherosclerosis. Reduction in inflammatory diseases, such as
auto-immune type diseases.

Clinical Trial– Diabetic PatientsDecrease in Fasting Glucose Levels
Average decrease of 24%
73 year-old European Woman Currently on Anti-Diabetic medicines
Diaprel MR/ (80 mg)- 2 per day – Extended release Gliclazide (80 mg), a once per day diabetic drug
Merckformin (1,000 mg)- 1 per day- (Metformin, Glucophage) – used for Type 2 diabetes
Avandamet- 1 per day- a combination of metformin and rosiglitazone used for diabetes
Fasting glucose levels dropped 23%. Glucose levels after a meal dropped
34.5%, indicating a major improvement in glucose management and glucose tolerance.
Metformin use reduced by 50% during the study.
Results are statistically significant.

Animal Data looks good, but still early in the research effort.
These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. Oxaloacetate is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
Calorie Restriction deceases cancer risk Currently one of the most effective broad-based
methods to reduce cancer risk High NAD+/NADH ratio decreases cancer
Metastasis Santidrian 2013
Oxaloacetic Acid Supplementation prevents Human Lung Cancer cells from reproducing In vitro results Does not affect normal cells Prevents replication of cancer cells by increasing
intercellular debris, but does not kill the cells. Cancer cells did not reproduce after OAA solution
removed for six weeks. Farah 2007
After Review, US FDADesignates OxaloacetateAs an “Orphan Drug” for theTreatment of Gliomas.Designation (12-3704)
Medical Foods are a unique category- Allow immediate implementation-Food Additives or GRAS only-Used under Physician Supervision-Must have a Scientific Basis
Case studies indicate that Gliaxal, either alone or in combination with other therapies, stopped tumor growth in 88% of the patients (N = 17)

"My son has an astrocytoma. With a ketogenic diet and significant nutritional support including Gliaxal Medical Food, the last two MRI's have showed no change and some small amount of shrinkage. The Oncologist says it is very slow growing tumor and is not gung-ho on any aggressive action. He said to keep up what we are doing and follow-up MRI in 4 months. It's been tough trying to keep a 24-year old healthy kid on the program, but he is doing pretty well. We plan to continue with Gliaxal. We have used 2 to 10 capsules three times per day with no side effects. THANK YOU.”

Starting a Phase 1 clinical trial in Pediatric Brain Cancer this summer at Rady Children’s Hospital, San Diego
Continuing case studies at UCSD and George Washington University
Effective in 54% of patients surveyed (N=13)
In the Effective Group, the average improvement in Quality of Life score was 63%(P < 0.05)
Range of improvement varied between 20% and 90%
Currently in Phase II Clinical Trial, Seehttp://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01741701
A Clinical Phase 1 trial is beginning with oxaloacetate supplementation and Alzheimer’s disease at the University of Kansas.
