STROKE

Stroke is a cerebrovascular disease caused by a sudden lack of blood flow to the brain. It is primarily caused by two main factors: ischemic stroke (caused by a blood clot) or a blockage in the cerebral artery, and hemorrhagic stroke (caused by a ruptured blood vessel in the brain), resulting in bleeding. Both cases lead to damage to brain cells and can result in paralysis, disability, or even death.

1. Turmeric Extract (Curcumin)

• The main active ingredient is curcumin, which is notable for its brain cell protection and anti-inflammatory properties.

• Strong antioxidant properties: Reduces oxidative stress, which is a major cause of brain cell damage during periods of ischemia.

• Protects blood vessels: Helps improve the flexibility and function of the inner lining of blood vessels.

• Reduces inflammation in the brain: Research shows it helps reduce brain tissue damage after a stroke. 1. Helps maintain the integrity of the blood-brain barrier.

2. Fish Oil

• Rich in omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, which primarily help balance the circulatory system.

• Reduces fat and dilates blood vessels: Helps lower triglyceride levels in the blood and helps lower high blood pressure, which is a leading cause of stroke.

• Prevents platelet aggregation: Helps reduce the formation of blood clots that can block blood vessels in the brain, allowing blood to flow more easily.

• Restores the nervous system: DHA is an important component of brain cells, thus contributing to nerve signal transmission and recovery after cerebral ischemia.

3. Vitamin D3

• Plays an important role in controlling chemical balance, the immune system, and body repair.

• Reduces the risk of vitamin deficiency: Epidemiological research has found that people with low levels of vitamin D in their blood have a higher risk of stroke, and if they do have a stroke, the symptoms are often more severe.

• Stimulates brain-regenerating substances: Vitamin D3 helps stimulate the release of BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor), which is essential for the creation of new nerve cells and brain flexibility. (Neuroplasticity)

• Blood pressure control: Helps regulate the renin-angiotensin (RAS) system in the body, which helps maintain normal blood pressure.

NOTE : 

• Do not use supplements as a substitute for standard medical treatment or prevention of risk factors (controlling blood pressure, blood sugar, quitting smoking, etc.).

• If a patient is taking antiplatelet/anticoagulant medication, consult a doctor before starting turmeric or fish oil.
