Neuroaid

Neuroaid (also NeuroAiD, MLC 601, or MLC 901) is a claimed treatment for stroke sold by Moleac Pte Ltd, a biopharmaceutical company in Singapore. There are two versions: Neuroaid (MLC601) and Neuroaid II (MLC901), with differing blends of ingredients.[1] The ingredients total 14 for both, with nine derived from plants and five from animals.[2]

Mechanisms of action

In vitro and in vivo results show that Neuroaid makes cells more resistant against glutamate aggression, increases neurite outgrowth and connectivity as well as reduces the infarct volume.[1]

Effectiveness

Following initial promising results, later research has found that Neuroaid is of no benefit in helping people recover from stroke.[3]

gollark: We could do a server and krist reset, except the krist server can't actually *do* a reset without breaking horribly.
gollark: There is also the real estate thing.
gollark: That fixes *one* thing, sure.
gollark: The problem of massively unbalanced wealth mostly due to people who got on the last one is pretty significant.
