Did you know, Cognito is a micronutrient powder (MNP) designed to address micronutrient deficiencies, which play a significant role in the development and progression of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). While it is not a treatment for NCDs, Cognito supports prevention, and management in patients with or at risk of NCDs in the following ways:
1.Addresses Micronutrient Deficiencies Linked to NCDs; Many NCDs—such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and cancer—are associated with long-term nutritional imbalances. Cognito provides essential vitamins and minerals (e.g., iron, zinc, vitamin A, folate, vitamin D, etc.) that:
Support metabolic health.
Improve immune function.
Regulate blood pressure and glucose metabolism.
2.Supports Dietary Interventions in NCD Care; Patients with NCDs often require dietary modifications as part of their management. Cognito helps:
Enhance the nutritional density of meals without increasing caloric load
Improve micronutrient status especially in patients with poor appetite or limited food variety
3.Improves Outcomes in Comorbid Conditions;In cases where NCDs coexist with conditions like anemia, malnutrition, or immune suppression (e.g., diabetes with iron deficiency), Cognito can:
Boosts recovery and enhances energy levels.
Improves quality of life by correcting nutrient-related fatigue or weakness
4.Cost-effective Public Health Strategy
Cognito can be part of community-based interventions to prevent the double burden of malnutrition and NCDs especially in:
Low- and middle-income settings.
5. Supports Preventive Health in At-risk Populations
For individuals with risk factors (family history, obesity, sedentary lifestyle), Cognito may help; Delay onset of NCDs by promoting optimal cellular function, metabolic balance and maintain a healthy immune system.
