Studies have shown that a third of heart attack deaths occur in individuals under the age of 60. In fact, Malaysian cardiovascular patients are 10 years younger than those in developed countries, which is alarming. Currently, 1 in 3 adults in Malaysia has high cholesterol, with half of them unaware of their condition.\n \n \n To address these growing concerns, Nestlé Malaysia introduces NESTLÉ OMEGA GOLD, specially formulated for individuals aged 50 and above, addressing the \"3 Highs\" which are significant risk factors in heart disease. This product contains Acticol® (1.2g of plant sterols) proven to lower cholesterol; Potassium to help maintain normal blood pressure; and Inulin which studies have shown can help maintain good blood sugar control.
