SHAH Alam, Malaysia, December 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Although gender equality has seen progress in recent years, the gap in women’s health remains. Women, despite having half of the world’s workforce[1]they often face under-diagnosis and under-representation in health care research. Biotropics Malaysia addresses this disparity by promoting female-led clinical studies, focusing on areas of health that have been identified as priorities to bridge the gap in women’s health.
1. The life of the heart
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in women, with risks increasing after menopause due to hormonal changes. Biotropics’ Nu-Femme® and SLP+® are clinically proven[2] supporting heart health, showing improvement in lipid profiles and reduction in 8-isoprostane, a marker of CVD. These resources are taken from Kacip Fatimah (Labia pumila), a traditional Malaysian herb known to support female vitality.
2. Menstrual life and menstruation
Natural solutions for menopause and menopause are increasingly sought after by women for mental clarity, emotional stability, physical health and overall well-being. Medical studies[3] revealed that daily supplementation with SLP+® (200-400mg) improves overall quality of life, while Nu-Femme® (500mg) reduces hot flashes by 73%, joint pain by 68% , and improve power by 21%. Biomarker studies continue to show that Nu-Femme® regulates hormonal imbalances by reducing FSH and LH levels (usually high in women with estrogen deficiency during menopause ) and support healthy levels of testosterone and estradiol.
3. Brain Health
For women with ‘brain fog’ or menopausal symptoms that affect mood and negative emotions, BioKesum® (small persicaria) provides a comprehensive, multifaceted approach to cognitive, emotional, and mental health. 500 mg daily has shown improvement in cognitive flexibility, executive function and IQ performance, positive changes in brain symptoms and reduced tension, depression and anger.[4].
Looking ahead, Biotropics Malaysia is excited to introduce Physta® Tongkat Ali for women’s health in 2025.
