World’s Most Documented Weight Loss Supplement Now Available Amid Obesity Epidemic in Malaysia

Australian-listed Holista CollTech Ltd (“Holista” or the “Group”) launches the world’s most documented and award-winning weight loss supplement from Sweden in Kuala Lumpur today, amid concerns over an obesity epidemic in Malaysia.

iNContro™ (“iNContro”), which contains Appethyl® (“Appethyl”), an all-natural spinach extract rich in thylakoids, helps reduce hunger and food cravings by slowing down the digestion of fats to give the body time to release gut hormones (cholecystokinin and glucagon-like peptide-1) which tells your brain two important messages – first, that you’re full and secondly, it’s time to stop eating.

Developed by Swedish research house Greenleaf Medical AB (“Greenleaf Medical”), iNContro is the winner of the 2013 NutrAward for Best New Functional Ingredient and 2014 Golden Apple Award, Sweden’s most prestigious award for a dietary supplement. iNContro is distributed in Malaysia under Total Health Concept (“THC”), a healthcare company under Petaling-Jaya based Holista group of companies.

iNContro has a significant amount of scientific support among weight-loss supplements in the market today. Nine clinical studies show that regular consumption of iNContro helps to reduce hunger up to 25% and cravings up to 95%. The absorption of fat is also significantly reduced after four hours. 

What this means is that we are able to stick to our diet plan without looking for snacks and unnecessary high-carbohydrates foods. Research shows that an obese person’s brain feels rewarded when you eat more. Dieticians warn that uncontrolled appetites may even play a role in food addictions.

The launch of iNContro – officiated by His Excellency Mr. Dag Juhlin-Dannfelt, the Ambassador of Sweden to Malaysia – follows warnings from the Health Minister that Malaysia is in the midst of an obesity epidemic. Findings by the National Health and Morbidity Survey 2015 show that nearly half of the population is obese and overweight, while 17.5 per cent (3.5 million) of adults have diabetes and 30.3 per cent (6.1 million) suffer from hypertension. The survey confirms the finding in 2014 by British medical journal The Lancet that Malaysia is Asia’s most obese nation.
Dr Dan Edwall from Greenleaf Medical
Dr. Dan Edwall, Chief Scientist at Greenleaf Medical, said: “iNContro is an all-natural and safe supplement that contains Appethyl, a spinach extract that slows down the absorption of fat into the body, making the user feel fuller, faster. This supplement is more beneficial at curbing cravings than fresh spinach as Appethyl is active the moment it’s eaten. This can be beneficial for people who struggle with their appetite and who crave fatty and salty foods. You feel full, and your cravings are curbed.”

Dato’ Dr. Rajen Manicka, founder and Managing Director of Holista, said: “Malaysia is a 24-hour food paradise with abundance of sweet desserts and food to satisfy every sweet tooth. What is so exciting about iNContro is that this is a supplement to control cravings, especially cravings for sweet food. This is what makes iNContro the world’s most-documented craving controller backed by nine human clinical trials.” 
Mr. Stefan Willhelmson from Greenleaf Medical
iNContro is available at major and independent pharmacies around Malaysia. It comes in powder form packaged in sachets and can be consumed by mixing one sachet with water or juice, taken before meals. For more information, please visit www.incontrodiet.com.

According to the National Cancer Institute Malaysia, about 5,000 Malaysian women are diagnosed with breast cancer every year, and nearly half of those are under 50-years of age, but it affects men too. It is indeed unbelievable but it is happening now in Malaysia. As a male blogger and influencer, it is my duty to raise awareness to all the male out there. Do take note that there are things you may not know about breast cancer in men: 1 out 1,000 men are diagnosed with breast cancer every year in Malaysia Less than 72% of men recover from the disease as doctor’s visit is made when symptoms are more severe however symptoms of breast cancer in men and women are quite alike. Most male breast cancers are diagnosed when a man discovers a lump on his chest. But unlike women, men tend to delay going to the doctor until they have more severe symptoms, like bleeding from the nipple. At that point, the cancer may have already spread Because men have very little breast tissue, i...
