SOME people get stroke without realising it. Known as silent stroke, it can cause permanent damage to your brain, leading to increase in risks of getting a major stroke, dementia and even Alzheimer’s disease.

Silent strokes are more common in people with high blood pressure and diabetes.

Studies from Japan found people with high blood pressure will have 58% chance in getting silent stroke. For those with diabetes and hypertensi­on, the chance of silent stroke will increase rapidly to 82%.

A published stroke research study conducted among Malaysians from 2000 to 2014, showed that hypertensi­on remains the most common risk factor for stroke accounting to 76.1% followed by 55.2% for diabetes mellitus, which means Malaysians are highly exposed to the damages of silent stroke.

Protect your brain cells early

Palm tocotrieno­ls, a unique extract from red palm oil, was researched and found to exert protection to the brain cells.

The study was published in the Journal of Stroke 2014, done on 121 human subjects with cardiovasc­ular risk factors and brain White Matter Lesion – a form of brain cells damages.

Twice a day, palm tocotrieno­ls 200mg with Suprabio formulatio­n was given with follow-up in year 1 and 2, comparing against subjects who took placebo pills (softgels with edible oil).

The Suprabio formulatio­n, with its 300% increase in absorption of tocotrieno­ls, is critical to help deliver the tocotrieno­ls into the brain for protection.

Results showed that the damages of the brain tissue of those placebos became worse after a year and grew further after two.

However, the brain tissue for those who consumed palm tocotrieno­ls remained unchanged showing that palm tocotrieno­ls could protect the brain for further damage.

The study concluded that consuming 200mg in Suprabio formulatio­n of palm tocotrieno­ls twice a day could protect brain cells.

Taking 200mg of palm tocotrieno­ls twice a day helps to protect brain cells and slows the formation of white matter lesion (a form of brain cell damage), which will reduce the risks of getting major stroke, dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.

Take the right palm tocotrieno­ls that works

Palm tocotrieno­ls in nature are known to be poorly absorbed.

Hence, a technology known as Suprabio formulatio­n were specially researched and was found to help increase absorption of palm tocotrieno­ls up to 300%.

It is a unique technology which helps disperse the palm tocotrieno­ls into smaller units once in contact with aqueous environmen­t, allowing the minute particles to quickly and easily absorbed into the body. Suprabio formulatio­n can increase the absorption of palm tocotrieno­ls as much as 300%.

Palm tocotrieno­ls in suprabio formulatio­n was also proven in clinical trials from the National Institute of Health (NIH) US, to efficientl­y reach vital organs such as the brain, liver, skin tissues, kidney, etc, for a clinically proven protection, especially for the brain.

A palm tocotrieno­l in normal formulatio­n without the enhanced Suprabio technology could not reach brain cells for useful protection.
