Lorenzo's Oil
Lorenzo's Oil is for the dietary management of Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) and Adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN) in adults and children from 1 year. Usually given in conjunction with a low fat diet restricting hexacosanoic acid (C26:0), it may be taken on its own or mixed with permitted foods. Due to the restricted nature of the diet, it may be necessary to supplement the diet with a source of essential fatty acids such as walnut oil.
Lorenzo's Oil is a blend of four parts Glycerol Trioleate (GTO) and one part Glycerol Trierucate (GTE) oils. It is a Food for Special Medical Purposes and must be used under medical supervision.
