Blackmores recently partnered with Institut Jantung Negara (IJN) to bring heart health awareness directly to the community through The IJN Heart Games 2025 at The Curve, Mutiara Damansara in Petaling Jaya.
Visitors benefited from health screenings, including checks for BMI, blood pressure, glucose and cholesterol, with many taking advantage of advanced heart assessments such as electrocardiograms (ECG) and echocardiograms (ECHO).
Participants walked away with clearer insights into their cardiovascular health, underscoring the importance of early detection and preventive care.
“At Blackmores, our approach to preventive health is holistic, focusing on education and daily nutrition to empower Malaysians to take charge of their own wellness,” said Blackmores Malaysia and Singapore head of marketing Chloe Meng.
A 2025 nationwide study further revealed that more than 21% of adults, or about 3.6 million Malaysians, face a high 10-year risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD).
Beyond the human cost, non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including heart disease, account for an estimated RM64.2 billion annually in healthcare expenses and productivity losses.
“IJN remains committed to raising awareness on cardiovascular health and emphasising the importance of early detection.
“Collaborations such as this provide opportunities to connect directly with the public in meaningful, engaging ways,” said Institut Jantung Negara chief executive officer Prof Dato’ Sri Dr Mohamed Ezani Md Taib.
The success of The IJN Heart Games reaffirms Blackmores commitment to supporting preventive healthcare through both science-backed wellness solutions and community-driven initiatives. Its recognition as Reader’s Digest Trusted Brand 2025 underscores the company’s dedication to building a proactive, healthier mindset.
With a heritage of over 90 years, Blackmores continues to inspire Malaysians to take control of their health with a wide range of premium, science-backed supplements.
Blackmores has won the Platinum Award at the Reader’s Digest Trusted Brands for 11 consecutive years, reflecting its commitment to natural healthcare that supports everything from heart health to daily wellness.
