DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ARS Therapeutics™, a pioneer in the natural health supplements, announced its launch of ALS Complete, featuring pharmaceutical grade products formulated to support the health of patients diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's during various phases of disease. Formulated by advancements in research and clinical studies on L-serine amino acid.
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, is a progressive neuromuscular disease. ALS is characterized by a progressive degeneration of motor nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. These motor nerves control voluntary movements and muscle control and when motor neurons can no longer send impulses to the muscles, the muscles begin to waste away, causing gradual onset of progressive muscle weakness. Currently, there is no cure for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and approximately 6,400 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with ALS each year. Johns Hopkins states that 50 percent of affected patients live three or more years after diagnosis; 20 percent live five years or more; and only 10 percent will survive more than 10 years. Many ALS patients today can live longer and more productive lives because of improvements in medical management, including nutrition which may increase patient quality of life.
L-serine is a natural, non-essential amino acid that is required for proper motor neuron function. It helps protect against motor neuron gene deformations. Recent findings are significant enough that the FDA is currently conducting clinical trials in the United States to evaluate the safety and efficacy of L-serine for patients with ALS. A notable study from Harvard Medical School reported L-serine supplementation as a possible first treatment option for ALS symptoms.
