Now, in addition to the plain milk, the tasty Nestle´ Omega Plus® Dark Choc too can be taken as part of a healthy diet to help manage cholesterol, especially for those who enjoy flavoured alternatives,” said Angeline Lim, Consumer Marketing Manager – Ready-to-Drink, Nestlé (Malaysia) Berhad.

High cholesterol is a major risk factor for heart disease, which is the leading cause of death among adults in Malaysia, affecting 8 million or 40 per cent of adults in this country. 

Nestle´ Omega Plus® understands the importance of maintaining a good cholesterol level for a healthy heart especially considering that heart disease, which can be life-threatening, is not limited to any particular age group or population.

More alarmingly, the age onset of heart disease in Malaysia is the youngest compared to other countries in the Southeast Asian region. 

Local media have also recently highlighted the importance of parental heart health management and how poor lifestyle choices are the norms for the new generation of young parents.

It is priced from RM2.20 onwards and can be found at all major supermarkets, hypermarkets, mini-markets, petrol marts and convenience stores nationwide, as well as via e-commerce websites such as Lazada and Shopee.
