[BRAND'S®] InnerShine® RubyCollagen Essence Drink

The first sign of aging usually reflects on our skin. We can't stop aging but we can slow it down by taking good care of ourselves and our health through our lifestyle, diet and the skincare products we use. 

It may be rather hard to change our lifestyle thus the next best alternatives to combat aging is to take note of what we eat and recommended to take some oral beauty supplements. This brings me to introduce BRAND'S® InnerShine® Ruby Collagen Essence Drink. Specially formulated for Asian skin, get ready to see the result of a more subtle and vibrant skin in just 6 weeks. (Results may vary between different individual). 

As we age, the collagen levels in our skin drop and the ability to synthesize new collagen also decreases due to environmental and lifestyle factors like Ultraviolet (UV) rays, stress, smoking, etc. In order to replenish the lost collagen and prevent further collagen decrease, BRAND'S® InnerShine developed a unique RubySignature™ Formula. Unlike normal collagen,  RubySignature™ Formula is created with ingredients derived from natural sources to challenge the existing paradigm in anti-aging skin care. The unique blend of ingredients includes a combination of micro-collagen peptides and one of mother nature's most powerful antioxidants, Astaxanthin which is harvested from a special strain of micro-algae.

Scientifically proven, the anti-oxidant power of Astaxanthin is 6,000 times more powerful than Vitamin C, 800 times more powerful than CoQ10 and 500 times more powerful than Vitamin E.  This serves as the perfect complement by acting as a natural shield against the collagen-depleting procedure. The final product when combined with micro-collagen peptides, a sophisticated hydrolysis process of breaking down the collagen molecules so that they can be absorbed by our body more efficiently and effectively is unrivalled in terms of quality and purity. 

The BRAND'S® InnerShine® RubyCollagen Essence range is available in both the liquid form and stripe form. Each box of the BRAND'S® InnerShine® RubyCollagen Essence contains 12 bottles. 6 bottles on the top layer and another 6 bottles below. 

Daily consumption helps to ensure that our body is adequately supplied with the essential nutrients for optimal skin support and protection. For optimum results, it is recommended to consumed twice daily.

Infused with natural pomegranate juice, BRAND'S® InnserShine® RubyCollagen taste just right, without being too sweet or sour. Best to consume it chilled and remember to shake well before drinking.

Make this delicious treat your daily skincare routine to form a comprehensive beauty regimen.

The RubyCollagen Essence range by BRAND'S® InnerShine® is available at all leading pharmacy and personal care stores.

[BRAND'S] ActivMove - Supports Joint Flexibility and Mobility

Get Back the Moves with BRAND's ActivMove 

Our joints are probably one of the least thought of parts of our body as compared to the rest of the other major organs such as our heart or lungs. However, our joints are equally important to us as it's our joints that carry our weight and move us effortlessly through our daily lives. 

In fact, do you know that our everyday movement such as walking and climbing the stairs can increase the wear and tear of our joints which could lead to problems like joint aches and pains. The most common form of joint pains (Osteoarthritis) affects an estimated 40% of the adult population, and out of which only 10% seek medical advice. 

Joint issues can affect our daily activities and occurs to us at any point of our life. I remembered my mum used to love climbing the stairs from the first floor up to the eleventh floor where we stayed and because of this, it strain her knee joint so much and cause the meniscus (cartilage) to tear. She have recovered after some treatment but have also stopped climbing such long flights of stairs.  

Taking early precautions to protect our joints will allow us to continue the active lifestyle that we love and enjoy. Start prevention early to reduce the risk of joint problem with BRAND'S® ActivMove! 

One Mini Tablet with Mighty Effectiveness

BRAND'S® ActivMove with Flexi-Boost® is formulated as a total solution for joint maintenance and protection. BRAND'S® ActivMove with Flexi-Boost® formulation contains UC-II® and Hydrolyzed Type II collagen that alleviates joint pain to help you perform at your best. UC-II® (40mg) has been proven to be more than twice as effective as the combination of glucosamine hydrochloride (1,500mg) and chondroitin sulfate (1,200mg) in promoting joint comfort and mobility (David C. Crowley, 2009).

UC-II® is a novel ingredient extracted from natural food sources that works with the immune system to reduce inflammation and protect the existing cartilage structure. At the same time, Hydrolyzed Type II collagen provides the building blocks for cartilage production and helps promote repair of damaged cartilage to maintain joint flexibility. Vitamin C is also added in the formula to scavenge free radicals (destroying molecules that causes cell damage within the body) and help protect joints from further degeneration. 

Recommended Dosage

The recommended dosage for BRAND'S® ActivMove is one tablet a day, about 60% smaller than regular glucosamine supplement. It is easy to swallow one mini tablet for doubled effectiveness.

BRAND'S® encourage the public to join in this good cause by initiating a BRAND'S® Hope In A Bottle Campaign.

Over $15,000 in donation was raised with the help of the public who supported the cause to give hope to future generations. 

I had the opportunity to capture the fun moments at the event's photo wall and bring home the instant print. 

Understanding BRAND'S® Heritage through this photo wall. 

Here's how BRAND'S® makes a positive difference to the society with their initiatives such as how between 1999 and 2003, over 20,000 prosthetic limbs were produced for the less privileged by recycling used BRAND'S® caps. Very amazing.

Talented artistes from The New Paper's Creative Team designed these 20 Designer Bottles which is going from $50 per piece to raise funds for the cause. All donation proceeds goes to World Vision.

For a $10 donations, visitors had the chance to personalize their very own BRAND'S® bottle label or transform their empty BRAND'S® bottles into a gift, mini terrariums or even snow globes.

Each BRAND'S® bottle can store up to 45 $1 coins, the amount to cover the basic needs of one needy child for a month. I didn't have so much $1 coins so mine is a mixture of the coins I've collected.

BRAND'S® : High Tea & Immunity Workshop

A really sleepy photo of me ! 

Lately, I've been feeling really jaded and I also realized that I hasn't even recovered fully from my cough. I will just suddenly have the urge to cough non-stop, especially when it's too cold in the office. Even my manager is also concern about why my cough took so long to recover and suggested that I went to see another doctor.

Perhaps it's the lack of sleep, lack of exercise and my unhealthy diet that contributes to a weakened immune system. Now I realized that whenever I feel sick, I took a much longer time to recover back. Seeing another doctor just means more antibiotics and I hate eating antibiotics.

Health is so important, so I tell myself I have to learn how to boost my immunity in order not to fall sick so easily, so I took a little time off from work to attend a high tea and all about immunity workshop. It was organised by Cerebos Pacific Limited, a leading health supplements and food company in Asia Pacific.





***********************************************************************

Held at The Vineyard at Hortpark, it's just one bus stop away from office. The afternoon sun was warm and it's nice to take a breather away from the workplace. 

The session started with a welcome address by Ms Yenn Lim, Marketing Manager of Cerebos Pacific Limited. To kickstart the workshop, everyone present had a toast with a bottle of this BRAND'S® MycoProtec Essence of Mushroom (BEOM) that was placed on the table of every seat. It's the first step to boosting our immune system.

When we talk about mushroom, many would usually associate them as ingredients in culinary dishes. Asked me about mushrooms and I can name you all my favourite type of edible mushrooms like the Shiitake mushrooms, Enoki mushrooms and Oyster mushroom. They sure add a distinct flavour to the dishes.
However, there's a more important role mushrooms plays in immunity protection.

BRAND'S® MycoProtec Essence of Mushroom is a health supplement that is Halal-certified and suitable for consumption even for the vegetarian.

A small bottle of BRAND'S® MycoProtec Essence of Mushroom contains specially formulated concentration of five rare and premium medicinal mushrooms namely, Lingzhi, Cordyceps, Maitake, Yamabushitake and Shiitake.

These five medicinal mushrooms have been scientifically proven to activate and strengthen different elements of the immune system. Mushroom beta-glucans are one key active compounds that is found to be effective in strengthening our immune system. Different mushrooms possess different types of mushroom beta-glucans and they cannot be fully released through normal cooking methods but the different beta-glucans from the 5 medicinal mushrooms are carefully extracted and retained in each bottle of  BRAND'S® MycoProtec Essence of Mushroom.  

We are the privileged ones to have Ms Ketki Vinayachandra, a certified and renowned naturopath, herbalist and nutritionist to share her expertise on mysterious world of mycology, stress, psychoneuroimmunology and its impact at various levels, free redicals and their impact on immunity and lastly the benefits of medicinal mushrooms.

Superbugs developed due to the fact of over reliance of antibiotics, so it's important to strengthen our immunity. Environmental factors like getting stuck in a traffic jam or psychological factor like meeting deadlines can cause stress. Stress can cause us to fall sick too.  

Psychoneuroimmunology is the study of how our behavior, thoughts and feeling can affects the nervous and immune systems. It's a chain of reaction from emotion to physical to cellular level. Example, after exercising or running,  the body will release a happy hormones known as endorphine. I heard that eating chocolate or talking to your crush releases endorphine too. All these makes one feels happy with a sense of well-being.

Our body also needs anti-oxiden. Best is drink veggie juice, fruits is better when eat on its own rather than when it's in the juice forms.

 Benefits of the 5 medicinal mushrooms

Reishi (Lingzhi): The Longevity Mushroom helps to promote better sleep, improved blood circulation and improve immune responses against cancer cells.

Maitake: The king of mushroom serve as a health tonic to enhance vitality, wellness and strength. It also improves blood pressure control and again boost immune responses in combating against cancer cells.

Cordyceps: The China's Medical Treasure Mushroom that looks like worms helps to strengthen immunity and relieve cough by fortifying the kidneys and lungs. It is also a wide used tonic to promote "Qi" circulation and improve energy levels.

Yamabushitake: The Monkey Head Mushroom is used for stomach ulcers and chronic gastric disorders. It also has the potential to improve mild memory loss in the elderly and beta-glucans from Yamabushitake can reduce tumor growth and improve immune responses. 

Shiitake: The forest mushroom and one of my favourite mushroom gives a boost in energy and stamina, support liver function, contains a variety of beta-glucans that helps to combat against viral infections. It has also been known to account for the low cancer rates of residents in two remote mountainous districts in Japan, where this mushroom is grown and heavily consumed.

Next up is an interactive exercise and some DIY Tips on the breathing techniques against stress as well as some simply demostration on clearing a sinus. It's good to take deep breath occasionally when we are feeling stress to let our brain relax.

Next up we have Dr. Daniel Tsi, a specialist in medicinal plant pharmacology sharing on the latest scientific developments and discoveries of mushroom polysaccharides and beta-glucans in terms of how they benefits us in boosting our immune system.

While listening to the presentation, yummy food was served!

According to one's preference, the BRAND'S® MycoProtec Essence of Mushroom can be consumed straight from the bottle at room temperature, chilled or warm. I prefer mine to be warm so I would heat it up with a bowl of hot water first before drinking. It does taste a bit like the Essence of Chicken although chicken is not in the ingredients. A little bitter but does not leave a strong after taste like how the Essence of Chicken would. This is my new boost of immunity now. Shoo the medicines!

Now available at a recommended selling price of S$27.90 for a pack of 8 x 65ml bottles at all NTUC FairPrice outlets, and all Guardian outlets island wide.
