Following successful data collection for the P1vital Cognitive Evaluation (VICOG) study, P1vital Products Ltd has donated £500 to Alzheimer’s Research UK.

Dementia is a devastating disease which manifests itself through memory loss, mood changes and problems with communication, attention and thinking, amongst other symptoms. In the UK, it affects over 850,000 people, and costs the NHS over £26 billion each year. There is currently no cure for dementia, which is why research into early prevention of the disease is important.

The way the brain functions, and the way we think, changes as we get older. P1vital Products Ltd are investigating the changes in memory, thinking and attention in ageing people. This will give us important information about what goes wrong in individuals experiencing diseases like dementia, and, helps us to explore the possibility of catching dementia in the very early stages of the disease.

The donation of £500 from P1vital Products Ltd to Alzheimer’s Research UK will help power groundbreaking research into life-changing preventions, treatments and, one day, a cure for the diseases that cause dementia.
