Question:
hii...i need to knw if thre's any cure for spondylosis?? and if there is, what is it??
will appreciate ur quick response
thank u |
| |
Answer:
Cervical Spondylosis is degenerative joint disease (osteoarthritis, wear and tear of joint bone and cartilage) affecting cervical vertebrae (bones, disks or cartilage) and spine. It causes narrowing of the spinal canal or disc and sometimes osteophytes formed at the junction of the disc and vertebra. Compression of the nerve roots is accompanied with sensory and motor disturbances, pain, tingling and numbness. It commonly occurs with aging.
Some health supplements that may help to improve the condition are glucosamine (the building block for cartilage), antioxidants (to protect joint tissue from free radical damage), vitamin B complex (for healthy nervous system), omega 3 fatty acids (to reduce inflammation).
If someone is overweight/obese, he/she needs to put off some body weight as extra weight appears to increase the risk of osteoarthritis by placing extra pressure on these joints and wearing away the cartilage (tissue that cushions the joints) that normally protects them. Weight loss can decrease stress on the knees, hips, and lower back and may improve the symptoms of osteoarthritis.
BRAND'S Glucosamine with Essence of Chicken
Helps to build strong and healthy joints. Glucosamine gives cartilage elasticity and to reduce the risk of joint problem. Essence of chicken supplies collagen to enhance the efficacy of Glucosamine. The unique combination protects joints and keeps joints healthy and especially beneficial for the sporty and elderly.
Health supplement is not a medicine or drug that is meant for therapeutic or curative purposes. Rather, it is a health food supplement that is intended to be consumed on a regular basis to promote general well-being, reduce disease risk or prevent the disease from becoming worse.
Along these lines, we do stress that if the customer has an underlying medical condition or is on medication, he/she should consult a medical profession before consuming any health supplement products.
Thank You. |

Question:
Hi,
My husband is suffering from gout and he gets tired very easily. As such I wish to know which product is best suited for him.
As for myself, I get tired easily too and I am looking for supplement that is for general intake. What will you recommend?
Thanks.
Chris |
| |
Answer:
Gout is the painful inflammation of a single joint, caused by a build up of uric acids. Excessive uric acid in the body may result from overproduction, under-elimination, or increased intake of foods containing purines. Even if you have a family history that predisposes you to gout (6 to 18 percent of us), you can make many lifestyle modifications to prevent it.
Avoid drinking excessive amounts of alcohol. It leads to hyperuricemia (high uric acid levels), which causes gout.
Maintain a healthy body weight. Obesity leads to increased toxins and metabolic by-products that need to be filtered, increasing your risk. Hypertension also predisposes you to gout.
Watch out for high-purine foods (contain more than 150mg per 100g of purine), which break down into uric acid: organ meats such as kidney and liver, red meats, shellfish, sardines, herring, shrimp, anchovies, mushrooms, and dried legumes (peas & beans).
Eat plenty fruits and vegetables as they are rich in antioxidants. Some studies indicate that antioxidants are helpful in anti-gout.
Drink lots of water and have regular exercise, to flush the uric acid out of your body so that it does not have the opportunity to collect in one of your joints
Review your medicines with your doctor. Some interfere with the body's ability to remove uric acid and can trigger gout: diuretics, cyclosporine, niacin, levodopa and low doses of aspirin.
Get plenty of rest, and don't put unnecessary stress and strain on any of your joints.
Our BRAND'S health supplements with Essence of Chicken with fairly low purine content are also suitable for person with gout. You may take BRAND'S Grape Seed Extract with Essence of Chicken which is high in antioxidants (to scavenge free radicals as free radicals will facilitate the formation of uric acids crystal/stones in joints) to promote overall well being.
As for feeling tired, there are many factors that could have contribute to your tiredness such as stress, hormonal changes and lack of proper nutrition. Tiredness may be also attributed to anemia, low blood pressure or other medical conditions. It is wiser to identify the root cause of the problem before undergoing any regimen.
We would strongly suggest you to adopt a healthy lifestyle to regain vitality and promote over all well being. The tips to healthful life:
- Adequate rest
Most adults need 7-8 hours a night, and the best bedtime is before 11.00pm. Good quality of sleep (deep sleep) is as important as the quantity for health maintenance.
- Regular physical activity
Moderate exercise at least 3 times a week and minimum 20-30 minutes each time is vital to maintain optimal body function.
- Good and balanced nutrition
Improper diet or poor selection of food may also deprive our body of the essential nutrients that keep us healthy. As a result, we may be more prone to or suffer from illness, stress, fatigue etc. Foods that are rich in essential nutrients, such as B vitamins are important to help us fight fatigue. Eating more nutrient-dense foods such as vegetables, fruits, legumes, whole grains, fish, nuts and seeds to provide the nutrients required for the optimal functioning of body system.
- Healthy stress management. Stay away from unhealthy habits such as smoking, alcohol drinking.
Include good quality supplement as part of your healthy lifestyle when necessary. Hereby, we recommend:

BRAND'S Essence of Chicken has a much lower amount of purine (<80mg per 100g) than beef (contains high content of purine) and chicken meat (contains moderate amount of purine). Under the general dietary constraints for person suffering from gout, we can recommend BRAND'S Essence of Chicken to be taken thrice a week.

Question:
sorry in addition to the previous questions. I was told by my chinese herbal doctor that consuming chicken would make your body more "ying". Is that true? |
| |
Answer:
To maintain good health, Yin and Yang must be in balance.
Each individual has a different constitution and the development of symptoms vary from person to person. For example, a Yang type of person can consume Yin foods to no ill effect but eating a small amount of Yang food can lead to "heatiness". On the other hand, a neutral person is generally healthy, displaying symptoms only when there is an over-consumption of either type of foods. If you are a Yin person, lots of Tonic or Nourishing foods are needed to boost your health.
As with taking BRAND'S Essence of Chicken, different people react differently to BEC depending on their unique body constituent, daily activities and sensitivity towards food intake. Many other factors play a part too, such as:
· Weather
· Lifestyle factor - such as stress or insufficient rest
· Imbalance diet, insufficient water drinking
Therefore, to strike a balance, it is important to maintain a balanced diet and attaining physical and mental balance through adequate rest and recharge of the body.
From a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) point of view, BRAND's Essence of Chicken is categorized as Tonic/Nourishing food, a food that's neither "heaty" nor "cooling" so it's suitable for everyone and all ages. This is because Essence of Chicken is an energy food that's "warming" and is good for the spleen and stomach.
Other benefits of Essence of Chicken include alleviating fatigue, enhancing one's memory, improve blood circulation and increasing the Yang energy in one's body.

Question:
I am now taking Glucosamine, Collagen & Lycopene, Sesamin with Schisandra & Brand's Essence of Chicken everyday. Should I see any good systoms if I continue to take Sesamin with Schisandra & when can I stop taking this. My mum died due to liver cirrosis but I do not have any liver problem just for precautionary action. |
| |
Answer:
The liver, the largest organ in the body, is essential in keeping the body functioning properly. It removes or neutralizes poisons from the blood, helps the body use food as nourishment, produces bile to digest fat, etc.
Cirrhosis is a condition in which the liver becomes scarred, fibrous (hardening of connective tissue), and filled with fat, thus reducing its ability to function. There are many causes of cirrhosis; they include chemicals (such as alcohol, fat, and certain medications), viruses, toxic metals (such as iron and copper that accumulate in the liver as a result of genetic diseases), and autoimmune liver disease in which the body’s immune system attacks the liver.
Some tips to improve liver health:
· Eat plenty of fresh fruits and lightly cooked vegetables especially dark green, leafy vegetables and orange, yellow, purple, and bright colored fruits (guava, pineapples, papaya, banana), vegetables (eg. green leafy vegetabls, tomatoes, carrots, beetroot, broccoli, spinach, lemon) and whole grains—they contain living enzymes, fiber, vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients (antioxidants and phytochemicals). The antioxidants beta carotene, vitamins C and E, and selenium and many different phytochemicals are found in these foods which are beneficial to liver.
· Omega-3 fats are very helpful. These fats are found in cold water fish such as salmon, tuna, mackerel, sardines and halibut. Other good sources are ground flaxseeds, flaxseed oil and walnuts.
· Drink lots of water (8–12 cups per day) because it helps the body to get rid of the waste and toxins that the liver has broken down.
· Eat light meals (small portion) more frequently.
· Saturated fats are harder for the liver to process. Limit high fat meats like sausage, bacon, salami, hot dogs and high fat dairy products like whole milk, ice cream and cheese, which contain saturated fats.
· Limit, as much as possible, chemicals such as food colorings, flavorings and preservatives as well as toxins such as insecticides and pesticides because these substances make the liver work harder.
· Avoid alcohol because it can harm the liver. On a health note, it is important to take good care of liver health and overall general well-being by having a healthy lifestyle (no late night, no smoking, less oily or over processed foods, moderate exercise, adequate rest)
· Food to avoid: Shellfish, if uncooked (eg. raw oyster). Either avoid shellfish or be careful to cook them thoroughly.
· It is important that one keep their liver health in check and go for regular health screening.
The unqiue combination of BRAND'S Sesamin with Schisandra helps to maintain healthy liver. While Sesamin scavenges and inhibits free radicals to protect the liver, Schisandra contains ingredients that activate liver enzyme system to enhance the liver' function. In addition, it promotes liver cell regeneration; protects the liver against alcohol, chemicals and other harmful substances that may build-up in your body, thus maintaining a healthy liver.
BRAND'S products are health supplements intended to be consumed on a regular basis to promote general well-being. However, as each individual's health status vary, we advise you to seek the consult of your attending doctor prior to taking health supplements if you have any medical condition or are taking medication.

Question:
There is no related category but if I do not choose, they won't submit. Maybe can have a others.
As I have introduced some colleagues to Brands one of them asked me today to help and ask this question - her husband would like to take IP6 but this is only available in Nature Farm or GNC how come Brands do not havce? Previously, I gave them some sesamin extract but they do not think it is good enough Do you have something that carries IP6 and iso.... (not sure about the full name). |
| |
Answer:
Inositol hexaphosphate (IP6) is a phosphorylated form of Inositol commonly found in fiber-rich plant foods, supplement is usually derived from brown rice extract. IP6 is claimed to support natural cell defense against damaging free radicals.
As we are aware, free radicals contribute significantly to today chronic disease, including cancer. Free radicals are produced in normal metabolic processes, immune system processes and through detoxifying rancid fats and chemicals (drugs, food additives, and preservatives). It is also created by cigarette smoke, pollutants, sunlight (UV), radiation, and emotional stress. Overabundant amounts of free radicals in the body can lead to a rash of health concerns. This is why is it often compared to the effect of oxidation on iron and referred to as the “rusting” of the body.
Antioxidants like proanthocyanidins in grape seeds are the body’s natural defense system against these substances.
Antioxidant is any substance that can neutralize or stabilize free radicals, thus is capable of inhibiting oxidation and guarding the body cell from the damaging effects of free radicals.
In the case of your friend, I would recommend antioxidant supplement.
Grape Seed Extract with Essence of Chicken –
BRAND’S Grape Seed Extract with Essence of Chicken is a combination of grape seed extract, beta-carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E and essence of chicken to provide a complete anti-oxidant solution for body tissues and support the natural defence mechanisms.
BRAND’S Grape Seed Extract with Essence of Chicken can help prevent build-up of harmful free radicals due to environmental stresses and a hectic lifestyle. As an anti-oxidant, grape seed extract is 50 times more powerful than Vitamin E and 20 times more effective than Vitamin C. BRAND’S Essence of Chicken also has anti-oxidant properties. Together, they provide powerful protection from oxidative damage, keeping your skin and body tissue healthy, and promoting overall wellness.

Question:
I recently bought the BRAND'S Iron + Vit B Complex (IBC), which helps to fight against Anaemia. I wonder if I can take it on an empty stomach ? I also wonder if I can take 3 tablets together at one go ? Please advise. Thanks. |
| |
Answer:
Our recommendation is to take the product after meal because most of the nutrients can be better absorbed with the nutrients in the meal. In addition, you can cultivate the habit of taking the tablet daily after meals and achieve optimal health benefits from the product. Taking the supplement after a meal also can prevent from suffering stomach discomforts particularly for those having sensitive stomach.
There is no issue with consuming the daily recommended dosage of 3 tablets all at the same time.
However, for optimum absorption, we highly recommend you to divide the doses throughout the day if possible eg.you may take 1 tablet at each time, thrice daily after meals or 2 tablets after breakfast or 1 tablet after lunch . In this manner, our body can be continuously nourished with nutrient for maximum health benefits.
At the same time, if you are taking Calcium supplement as well, then high calcium intake may decrease the absorpion of iron. Thus, you may like to take them at least 1-2 hours apart. For example, IBC (3 tabs) in the morning and Calcium (2 tabs) in the evening. Alternatively, 2 tabs of IBC + 1 tab of calcium in the morning and 1 tab of IBC + 1 tab of calcium in the evening.
Absorption of calcium is greatest in dose of 600mg or less at a time and when taken with food.
Thank You. |

Question:
I always feel sleepy in the late afternoon and early evening. Are there supplements suitable for this problem? |
| |
Answer:
Try to have a light lunch if you work in an office or lead a sedentary lifestyle. This is because when we have a heavy lunch, blood flows mainly to our stomach, making us feel sleepy and less alert. If you work in an office, try to get up on your feet and walk around to ensure good blood circulation. In the late evening, it is quite common to feel sleepy as our bodies prepare to rest for the night.
Strive to eat smaller but regular meals and exercise regularly. Having sufficient sleep and rest is just as important too.
We understand it is not easy to do all of the above, given the constant pressure of time. That's why we rely on Health Supplements to enhance our efforts to keep healthy and live well.
You may wish to try BRAND’S Essence of Chicken with American Ginseng to help you stay mentally alert and improve your stamina. For a start, consume 1 bottle on alternate days. Move on to taking 1 bottle a day once you’re comfortable.
If you are not used to taking our liquid range of products, you can try BRAND’S Ginkgo Biloba with Essence of Chicken in tablet form, which increases blood circulation to the brain to keep you alert and improve your memory.

Question:
I find that I’m getting more forgetful. Do factors like stress, lack of vitamins or hormonal problems play a part? Are there ways to improve my memory? |
| |
Answer:
Poor memory can be due to many factors.
Ginkgo Biloba is the world’s oldest tree species and clinical research suggests that special substances in ginkgo may help maintain normal blood flow in the brain and reduce platelet aggregation in cardiovascular circulation.
Ginkgo Biloba is recommended when poor circulation causes impaired mental function, pain in the calf muscles, migraines or tinnitus (ringing in the ears). BRAND’S Essence of Chicken also increases brain activity and helps to improve memory.
BRAND’S Ginkgo Biloba with Essence of Chicken is useful not only for elderly persons experiencing memory loss, but also for anyone who wishes to ‘feed’ their brain with more nutrition. Vitamin B complex can also help you to cope with daily stress.

Question:
I am a female with two daughters aged 2 and 4. Before I gave birth to my second daughter, I could somehow find the energy to do the housework even after work, no matter how tired I was. But lately, I find my self getting tired out easily. I feel sleepy throughout the day. Could all this be due to being overweight, or because of hormonal changes after giving birth? I am 75 kg and 1.63m tall.

Answer:
There are many factors that could account for your tiredness such as stress, hormonal changes, lack of proper nutrition and being overweight. Running after children could also physically drain you out!
Here are some ways which could help raise your energy levels:
Exercise. Exercise doesn’t have to be a chore-- incorporate it into your daily routine to make it more enjoyable! For example, take the stairs instead of the lift; get down one bus stop earlier on your way home, do skipping while watching TV, or even turn on the radio and sway to your favourite music while doing housework!
Proper diet. Eating a well-balanced diet is also important in maintaining a healthy weight and for overall health. To lose weight, you will need to use up more energy than you get from food. If you are eating more than you should, cutting down on the calories consumed in your food and drinks will help to maintain or lose weight. It also helps to cut down on fatty and sugary food while increasing your intake of fruits and vegetables.
Important intake of nutrients. An improper diet or poor selection of food may also deprive our body of the essential nutrients that keep us healthy. As a result, we may be more prone to or suffer from illness, stress and fatigue. Foods that are rich in essential nutrients such as iron and Vitamin B are important for fighting fatigue. Foods rich in iron include beef, liver, and spinach. Vitamin B can be found in food such as meat and nuts.
If your tiredness is due to an imbalanced diet, we encourage you to eat a well-balanced diet that comprises of good sources of nutrients. In addition, we also like to introduce you to BRAND’S Essence of Chicken.
BRAND’S Essence of Chicken has been scientifically proven to help you fight fatigue, improve your metabolic rate and contribute to your general well-being, both mentally and physically.
However, if your constant tiredness does not improve despite embarking on a healthy lifestyle, please seek advice from your doctor.
