What is ALTEMIA

 

 

ALTEMIA is a medical food specifically formulated to provide a consistent and highly bioavailable form of DHA, a major fatty acid found in Omega-3 fish oil, to replenish what is damaged by the hemoglobin mutation (HbS) found in sickle cell disease patients. In clinical trials (2,3) conducted under a US Investigational New Drug Application, patients who consume high levels of DHA and see a significant increase in DHA blood levels. An increase in DHA levels may impact the oxidative and inflammatory cascade leading to sickle cell pain crises or vaso-occlusive events. ALTEMIA was designed to provide this fatty acid used in these trials, in a safe, good tasting, easy to administer oral formulation.
