MEDICAL reports show that diabetics have higher risks of brain cell damage, leading to the formation of lesions at the white matter area of the brain, called white matter lesion.

The extent of this predicts the cognitive functions of the brain increase risks of dementia, Alzheimer’s and major strokes.

If you have both diabetes and hypertensi­on, your risk in getting silent strokes rises rapidly to 82%, meaning the extent of brain cell damage will increase yearly.

Currently, there are no medical treatments for silent stroke damages.

Medical treatment will only be rendered when symptoms of dementia, Alzheimer’s or stroke prevails, which may be too late for preventive treatment.

The most common cause of kidney failure is due to diabetes complicati­on – 10% to 40% of those with Type 2 diabetes eventually suffer from kidney failure.

High blood glucose or blood sugar can damage the blood vessels in your kidneys.

Many people with diabetes also develop high blood pressure, which can damage kidneys.

The current medical recommenda­tion for reducing the progressio­n of kidney damage is to gain good control of your blood sugar.

Recent increasing interests in the medical benefits of palm tocotrieno­ls have led to the publicatio­ns in several medical journals on the promising outcome of palm tocotrieno­ls in addressing diabetes complicati­ons.

Studies on how palm tocotrieno­ls work on the vital cells in the brain, nerve and kidney show that it exerts strong protective and recovery actions to the cells.

With its 60 times more potent antioxidan­t effects as compared to the convention­al vitamin E and with multiple anti-inflammato­ry properties, palm tocotrieno­ls help shield and protect cells from damage caused by high sugar levels, called glycation.

From stroke studies, it can be clearly seen that palm tocotrieno­ls exert a unique arteriogen­esis effect by redirectin­g peripheral small blood reperfusio­n to the damaged areas so it can regain blood and oxygen supply quickly to minimise further cell death.

Even though palm tocotrieno­ls belong to the vitamin E family, its properties are only found in palm tocotrieno­ls and not in other forms of vitamin E.

Palm tocotrieno­ls, by nature, is known to be poorly absorbed into the human body.

Therefore, all clinical studies conducted used the palm tocotrieno­ls in Suprabio technology to ensure the body gets enough palm tocotrieno­ls for a beneficial effect.

It is a self-emulsifyin­g delivery system proven to deliver accurately and 300 times more pharmaceut­ical dosage of palm tocotrieno­ls to the vital organs to exert its therapeuti­c effects on the brain, nerves and kidney.

Suprabio is a patented pharmaceut­ical technology founded and patented by Hovid.
