Dementia Now Australia's Leading Cause of Death - Why Prevention Must Start Today
The Stark Reality We Can No Longer Ignore
For the first time in modern Australian history, dementia has overtaken cardiovascular disease as the nation's leading cause of death. In 2023, dementia claimed nearly 17,400 Australian lives, accounting for 9.5% of all deaths and this alarming figure represents only the beginning of a devastating trend..
The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare now estimates that 433,300 Australians are living with dementia in 2025. Without significant intervention, this number will surge to more than one million by 2065, a 2.5-fold increase that will place unprecedented strain on families, the healthcare system and the national economy.
The financial burden is equally staggering. Dementia currently costs Australia more than $15 billion annually, a figure projected to exceed $18.7 billion by 2025 and balloon to $36.8 billion by 2056. Yet these numbers, as alarming as they are, cannot capture the profound human toll - the loss of cherished memories, fractured family relationships and the slow erosion of identity that characterises this devastating condition.

Why Annatto Tocotrienol + GG Is the Smartest Supplement Strategy for 50+ Health
Staying healthy, strong, and mentally sharp after 50 isn’t about taking more supplements, t’s about taking the right one.
Not all nutraceuticals protect you equally. Some only target one pathway, others a little more. But recent independent scientific reviews show that combining annatto-sourced tocotrienols (a superior form of vitamin E) with geranylgeraniol (GG) provides one of the broadest spectrums of protection against the top health challenges faced by adults aged 50 and beyond:
✅ Cardiovascular disease
✅ Cognitive decline & dementia
✅ Metabolic dysfunction (cholesterol, glucose, triglycerides)
✅ Fatigue & muscle loss (mitochondrial ageing)
✅ Cellular inflammation & oxidative damage, the root of ageing itself
While popular supplements like omega-3, resveratrol and CoQ10 offer partial support, annatto tocotrienol + GG consistently outperforms them in scope, cellular access, and long-term resilience, according to multiple independent peer-reviewed studies, not just marketing claims.

New human metabolomics trial shows annatto δ/γ-tocotrienol rewires metabolism, a practical route to lower inflammation, better mitochondrial health and broader disease resilience
A 12-week randomised, double-blind trial found annatto tocotrienol (TT), (600 mg/day) produced systemic metabolomic shifts that map onto reduced oxidative stress and improved lipid and amino-acid metabolism, changes consistent with lower risk for cancer, cardiovascular disease, dementia and metabolic disorders. Here’s what that means for you and how adding geranylgeraniol (GG) may multiply the benefits. NutraceuticalWorld

Dementia Action Week - Taking Steps Today for a Healthier Brain Tomorrow
Why lifestyle, nutrition, and emerging science matter more than ever.
Welcome to issue 20 of the Natural Health Connect Newsletter. This edition covers two vital topics for health-conscious readers focused on extending their healthspan, the period of life spent in good health, free from chronic disease and disabilities that often accompany ageing. First, we highlight the significance of Dementia Action Week and practical natural health approaches to support cognitive function and reduce oxidative stress, key factors in maintaining a longer healthspan. Second, we explore why adults of all genders should consider tocotrienol supplementation for broad disease prevention, with a particular focus on dementia prevention and metabolic risks especially relevant for cancer survivors. Both articles are backed by the latest scientific evidence and are complemented by insights from our previous newsletters and blog posts. Dive in to empower your natural health journey and enhance your healthspan for vibrant ageing.

Spring has arrived and with it, new growth and new hope
Tomorrow marks the first day of spring in Australia, a season of fresh beginnings, blossoming energy, and the renewal of life all around us. Just as plants rely on nature’s chemistry to grow strong and resilient, so too can we.
Two remarkable natural compounds, tocotrienol (T3) and geranylgeraniol (GG), are not only essential to plants, but also vital to human health. In fact, GG is made by both plants and our own cells. Together, these molecules protect plants from stress, and in humans they offer rejuvenation, resilience, and protection from the metabolic and degenerative conditions that threaten our healthspan.
This spring, let’s take inspiration from the natural world. New growth is possible at any age, and the right nutrients can help us achieve it.

Precision Medicine & Personalised Healthcare
Modern wellness increasingly emphasises tailoring prevention and treatment to individual biology and lifestyle. Two botanicals (plant-derived supplements), stand at the forefront of this shift: annatto-sourced tocotrienols (a particularly potent form of vitamin E) and geranylgeraniol (GG), a bioactive isoprenoid. This newsletter offers a detailed, evidence-backed look at their preventive and therapeutic benefits, especially relevant for those over 50, focused on chronic disease risk reduction and longevity optimisation.

Oxidative Stress, Inflammation and the Brain - A Call for Early Protection with Nature’s Most Powerful Defenders
As we recognise Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month this June, the urgent need for proactive brain health protection has never been clearer. The devastating reality is that Alzheimer’s disease affects millions globally, with pathological changes beginning decades before symptoms appear. By the time memory loss becomes noticeable, irreversible neuronal damage has already occurred, making prevention not just preferable, but essential.

Fighting Cancer Where It Starts - Nature’s Solution to a Modern Epidemic
In Newsletter #13, "Oxidative Stress – The Hidden Catalyst Behind Modern Disease," we explored how oxidative stress, an imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidant defences, drives many chronic diseases. Applying this to cancer, however, means navigating a maze of complex molecular pathways. Covering every signalling cascade and inflammatory trigger would burden readers with detail better suited to research journals than practical health guidance.

Nourish Your Cells -Tocotrienols & Geranylgeraniol for Vibrant Ageing
Summary of Key Benefits
Annatto-derived δ- and γ-tocotrienols (T3) plus geranylgeraniol (GGOH) form a potent nutrient duo that:
Supercharge mitochondria, preserving energy production and preventing fragmentation [2].
Calms chronic inflammation by inhibiting NF-κB and STAT3 pathways [4,3].
Provides 40x–>60× stronger antioxidant protection than α-tocopherol [1].
Supports healthy cholesterol and blood pressure via HMG-CoA reductase down-regulation and enhanced nitric-oxide signaling [7,8].
Protects brain, skin, muscle and cardiac tissues, delaying age-related decline [9,6,10].
Read on to see how these natural compounds work, and why starting early pays off for lifelong health!

Harnessing Cellular Housekeeping - How Annatto Tocotrienol and Annatto GG Support Autophagy and Mitophagy for Healthy Ageing and Disease Prevention
In today’s fast-paced world, maintaining cellular health is more important than ever. Our cells are constantly exposed to stress, toxins, and the inevitable wear and tear of daily life. Thankfully, our bodies have a built-in quality control system known as autophagy, a process that literally means “self-eating.” Autophagy is responsible for degrading and recycling damaged proteins and organelles, keeping our cells clean and functioning optimally. A specialized form of this process, mitophagy, targets damaged mitochondria to preserve the powerhouses of the cell and maintain energy production.

Tackling Obesity, Cardio-metabolic Risk & Boosting Immunity Naturally
Dear Health Enthusiast,
Australia is facing a health crisis. Recent data from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) indicate that in 2024, 8.3% of the total disease burden was attributed to overweight and obesity, surpassing the 7.6% attributed to tobacco use. This shift highlights a growing health crisis, with obesity now leading to an increase in chronic illnesses such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and stroke. With nearly one in two Australians at elevated risk of heart disease and millions living with preventable chronic conditions, our nation’s future well-being hangs in the balance.
In the wake of post-pandemic challenges and rising metabolic disorders, it’s more urgent than ever to adopt strategies that protect our bodies at the cellular level. That’s why we’re excited to share breakthrough insights on two potent, natural compounds: annatto tocotrienol and annatto geranylgeraniol (GG).
