Scientists Shrink Stroke Damage in Mice by Calming Immune Cells Outside Brain

Instead of trying to fix stroke-damaged nerve cells, Stanford scientists took aim at a set of first-responder immune cells that live outside the brain but rush to the site of a stroke. It worked.

Investigators at the Stanford University School of Medicine have shown that suppressing the activity of a small set of immune cells in mice after they’ve had a stroke substantially reduces their brain…

Editor’s Note: Previous studies have shown that palm oil tocotrienols, less common but ultra-potent forms of vitamin E abundant in Malaysian sustainable palm oil, may help brains recover from stroke damage. This Japanese study affirms those findings and helps explain how this nutrient might deliver its neuroprotective benefits. EVNol SupraBio, the supplement used in the study, is sourced from…

Thousands of Americans experience strokes each month, but Los Angeles TV News viewers learned that one important key to minimizing the damage may be to consume more of the vitamin E tocotrienols found in Malaysian certified sustainable palm oil.

CW News viewers in Los Angeles learned a startling statistic: 65,000 Americans each month will experience a stroke. But nutrition expert Jonny Bowden, PhD, CNS knows there may be a way to reduce damage and improve recovery after a stroke. Having vitamin E tocotrienols in your bloodstream may help protect the area of the brain most often affected by stroke. Bowden told viewers that Malaysian…
