Brain Protect™ Nano Omega 5, a Cutting-Edge Supplement Propelling a Proactive Approach to Alleviate Potential Dementia Costs
Los Angeles, Jul 18th, 2023
Peering into the next thirty years, the cumulative economic impact of Alzheimer’s and other dementia-related diseases is projected to impose an astounding $20 trillion on the U.S. economy. Spread across an anticipated 94.23 million taxpaying U.S. households by 2050, this would translate to an average annual cost of approximately $10,717 per household. This daunting figure does not even encompass an additional estimated $271 billion annually in unpaid caregiving. The pressing need for solutions and potential treatments for dementia-related diseases, such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, is underscored by these statistics. However, despite concerted efforts over the past decade, a definitive cure for this escalating crisis remains out of reach.
Professor Oded Shoseyov, a well-known TED Speaker and an expert in nano-biotechnology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, presents a compelling alternative. “The race for a cure for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s is a clear and highly pursued goal,” he states, “However, there’s another promising path that can significantly lessen the financial load and the anguish inflicted on individuals. Benjamin Franklin’s timeless wisdom that ‘An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure’ has been our compass, leading us to explore ways to combat oxidative stress, a fundamental contributor to dementia.”
Prof. Shoseyov elaborates further, “Envision two lines setting off from the same point with a mere one-degree variance. As time passes, the disparity between them expands significantly. If we commence this slight adjustment in trajectory now, prioritizing preventive measures with younger generations like Generation X and millennials, we foresee a substantial reduction in the future financial burden of dementia.”
Motivated by his vision for dementia prevention, Prof. Shoseyov co-founded Tahiro™, a startup dedicated to enhancing brain health through scientific innovation. Understanding the strength of a multidisciplinary approach, he invited Dr. Ronit ShaltielKaryo to join the team. Dr. ShaltielKaryo, an experienced professional with a Ph.D. in Biotechnology and an MBA, has a comprehensive background in researching Central Nervous System (CNS) conditions, specifically Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. Prior to Tahiro™, she served as the Director of R&D at Neuroderm, a renowned pharmaceutical company noted for its drug-device combination products for Parkinson’s patients, which was acquired by Mitsubishi Tanabe for $1.1 billion in 2017.
Dr. ShaltielKaryo explains: “Oxidative stress is a key player in the advancement of neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Imbalances arise when the body generates more free radicals—unstable molecules—than its antioxidants can neutralize, potentially resulting in neuron damage. Antioxidants like Punicic Acid, also known as Omega 5, found in pomegranate seed oil, act as potent electron donors. They restore balance by neutralizing these unstable molecules.
The challenge of delivering antioxidants like Omega 5 to all body organs, including the brain, is addressed by Tahiro’sinnovative supplement, Brain Protect™ Nano Omega 5. Dr. ShaltielKaryo shares, “Omega 5, while highly effective, is made up of large molecules that struggle to cross the blood-brain barrier. By transforming Omega 5 into nano droplets, we significantly enhance its bioavailability, potential efficacy, and ability to reach all body organs.”
Recent tests, funded by Tahiro™ and conducted by byIndependently renowned and internationally acclaimed third-party laboratory, have produced promising results. These findings suggest that Brain Protect™ Nano Omega 5 may indeed play a role in preventing or slowing the cognitive decline associated with neurodegenerative diseases,” says Prof. Shoseyov.
With thoughtful analysis, informed by sophisticated models incorporating projections of population, taxpaying households, life expectancy, and other economic indicators, the companyestimates a potential annual savings to the U.S. economy could reach approximately $415 billion by 2050. This projection, which represents nearly a 30% reduction in annual dementia-related costs, does not even factor in the substantial value of unpaid caregiving. These figures are calculated assuming only 5% of the Generation X and Millennial populations will use Brain Protect™ Nano Omega 5 supplement as a preventative measure. “These estimates emphasize the profound impact that early preventative measures could have on our future economy,” says Prof. Shoseyov. He further challenges us with an intriguing proposition, “Consider the potential if we could triple the outreach.”
To conclude, Prof. Shoseyov stresses, “Education is pivotal for prevention. By raising awareness, we can equip individuals to influence their health and the future of the economy.”
