Researchers studied effect of palm tocotrienols on diabetic nephropathy
EVNol SupraBio bio-enhanced full-spectrum palm tocotrienol complex significantly reduced serum creatinine levels hence potentially averting the progression of renal impairment among the diabetic nephropathy patients.
Researchers study how tocotrienols help stroke-injured brains
This Japanese study affirms previous findings and helps explain how tocotrienols may deliver its neuroprotective benefits. EVNol SupraBio, the supplement used in the study, is sourced from responsibly grown and produced Malaysian palm oil.
Study shows palm tocotrienols may slow Alzheimer’s disease progression
A joint study published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease may provide hope to individuals affected by the debilitating disease. In the study, mice induced with Alzheimer’s that consumed palm tocotrienols – the potent antioxidant present in Malaysian certified sustainable palm oil – exhibited signs of memory and leaning improvement compared with the control mice.
Research shows neuroprotective benefits of palm tocotrienols
The researchers concluded that EVNol natural full-spectrum palm tocotrienol complex could play an important role in controlling oxidative stress-induced conditions in the brain that could lead to Alzheimer’s disease.
Tocotrienols may help ease diabetic neuropathy patients’ severe pain
Neuropathic pain is a chronic pain caused by neuronal dysfunction. Severe pain could affect quality of life.
Study shows carotenes, found in palm oil, may offer diabetes protection
Serum β-carotene and α-carotene have been found to be associated with protection from diabetes mellitus and diabetes retinopathy respectively, according to a new cross-sectional study published in Current Molecular Medicine.
Palm-based tocotrienol complex may help those with metabolic syndrome
Based on these favorable findings, the researchers concluded that tocotrienols may have potential for metabolic syndrome therapy especially on cardiovascular and liver health, and therefore is worth further investigation.
Research shows palm nutrients may induce hair follicle growth
Researchers at Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center uncovered a novel pathway for hair follicular regeneration. Palm tocotrienol complex (EVNol SupraBio) was shown to induce hair follicle growth via protein expression of epidermal E-cadherin dependent beta-catenin, the key signaling molecule for inducing pluripotent stem cells in the adult skin.
International conference highlights the role of palm phytonutrients
Palm-derived nutrients have been studied for more than 30 years and have been the topic of more than 180 research projects.
