Title: A Phase II Clinical Trial of a Vitamin/Nutriceutical Formulation for Alzheimer's Disease
Brief Summary: Based on prior published pilot studies, the investigators have initiated a larger, multi-site placebo-controlled clinical trial with Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients and individuals diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), with the hopes of (1) confirming (or denying) the above promising clinical findings, and (2) determining whether or not our formulation can delay MCI "conversion" to AD.


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

* The study will enroll subjects, both men and women with type 2 diabetes of at least six months duration. The age of enrolled subjects will range from 21-60 years old. An HbA1c blood test must show that the person's diabetes is under control.

Other important exclusion criteria are cigarette smoking, volunteers taking Coumadin, and recent use of antioxidant supplements or aspirin. Females who are pregnant or breastfeeding will be excluded. People cannot participate in this study if they are taking medications (other than antidiabetic medications) which may affect blood sugar.
