Question:
How long do I have to take the green tea extract to see results in my weight. I am at present 68 kg |
| |
Answer:
BRAND'S® InnerShine Capsaicin + Green Tea Extract with Essence of Chicken (added with HCA) offers a healthy way for you to manage excess body fat. It is a fat burner and metabolic booster for overall body fat control. While BRAND’S® Essence of Chicken increases overall body metabolic rate, the Green Tea extract and Capsaicin stimulate thermogenesis - also known as the calorie-burning process. As a result, the body can metabolise, utilize and burn the excess fat stored more quickly. In addition, the Green Tea extract also helps in suppressing the conversion of excess dietary carbohydrate into sugar which in turn becomes fat.
Result may vary from individual to individual, depending on individual's lifestyle and dietary habits. However, as each individual's body consitutent defer; the result would vary.
To monitor result, you may take your body weight twice a week and most importantly measure body fat content by using fat analyser fortnightly. The healthy pace of losing weight is 0.5-1kg/week. After 4-6 weeks, the rate will slightly reduce or become stagnant. You need to be patient and keep up the healthy living (exercise and healthy eating) to overcome the plateau period and further reduce the excessive fat.
In addition, fat loss does not always equate weight loss, as weight comprises of body tissues, body fluid, bones, muscles and fats. Some consumers lose fat mass, and with regular exercise, achieve lean muscles (but not bulky muscle as in body builders). Therefore, sometimes there is no significant change in weight as lean mass is much heavier than fat mass. Rather, because of the loss in fat mass, their overall health improves.
A sensible meal planning (less fat, sugar and fried food; more fiber, fruits and vegetables) and a regular exercise regimen (exercise on the average 3 times per week for at least half an hour each time) should also be in-place in conjunction with health supplements.
Thank You

Answer:
BRAND'S Capsaicin + Green Tea Extract with EOC (added with HCA) and BRAND'S CLA + Green Tea Extract have their own unique efficacy.
BRAND'S Capsaicin + Green Tea Extract with EOC (added with HCA) is intended to increase the body's metabolic rate (the rate at which your body burns calories), thus helping to burn up excess fat accumulated in the body. This product is suitable for people who want to reduce overall body fat for their long-term health benefits.
BRAND'S CLA + Green Tea Extract on the other hand, enhances the utilization of existing fat in the body, thus promotes lean and firm body. CLA has been shown to reduce certain type of enzyme in the body to inhibit the uptake of triglycerides (a storage form of fat in body) by the fat cells from the bloodstream. Coupled with some moderate exercise, CLA also works in muscle to breakdown fatty acids for energy production. This product is suitable for people who did not find thermogenic or metabolic products useful in controlling body fat, they are advise to take CLA to control their body fat content.
BRAND'S CLA + Green Tea Extract does not contain Essence of Chicken (EOC) whereas BRAND'S Capsaicin + Green Tea Extract (added with HCA) does.
The daily dosage of BRAND'S Capsaicin + Green Tea Extract with Essence of Chicken (added with HCA) is 4 tablets whereas BRAND'S CLA + Green Tea Extract is 6 softgels.
You may like to choose either one or both products depending on your specific needs and concern. We would also like to highlight that these two products are not intended as a slimming product. Both products are intended to be consumed on regular basis to help reduce excessive fat accumulation thus promoting general well-being.
To monitor result, you may take your body weight twice a week and most importantly measure body fat content by using fat analyser fortnightly. The healthy pace of losing weight is 0.5-1kg/week. After 4-6 weeks, the rate will slightly reduce or become stagnant.

Question:
I am having high cholestherol as well as gout. I do understand certain things that I can eat for high cholestherol, not suitable for gout, could you advise me what shall I eat?
Just need to confirm, is grilled food better than fried food for high cholestherol person? I LDL is 154 and HDL is only 41. Ratio 5.6, total 233. Gout 8.1
Awaiting for your advise. Thanks. |
| |
Answer:
Yes, you are right. Grilled food (with least oil) is usually contain less fat than deep fried food. The cooking method ranked according to their health: steam, boil, roast or grill, stir-fry with least oil, and deep fry.
The healthy normal levels of the health indicators are showed as below:
Total Cholesterol <200 mg/dL (Desirable: less than 200 mg/dL, borderline high risk: 200–239 mg/dL, high risk: 240 mg/dL and over)
LDL-Cholesterol <130mg/dL
HDL-Cholesterol >35 mg/dL
Triglycerides <160
Lecithin can help to control cholesterol and to maintain healthy cholesterol level by breaking down cholesterol in blood and facilitating the removal of excess cholesterol. It also helps to reduce build-up of cholesterol especially due to unhealthy lifestyle or high fat diet. Omega 3 is another highly recommended supplement for heart health. Besides supplementation, it is best to incorporate healthy eating habits as part of your healthy lifestyle.
Recommendations for a heart-healthy diet
· GO whole grain
The cholesterol-lowering benefits of soluble fibre-rich foods such as oats, legumes, nuts, some fruits, and psyllium have been recognized for many years. Besides fibre, whole grain foods also offer a host of other beneficial nutrients, for example, vitamins (folic acid and thiamine), minerals (magnesium and iron), linoleic acid and natural plant compounds or phytochemicals. Phytochemicals are plant chemicals that give fruits and vegetables their bright colors, flavors and aromas. Thousands of phytochemicals exist and some commonly known phytochemicals include carotenoids (in red, yellow and orange fruit and vegetables), flavonoids (in apples and onions, green and black teas, chocolate), allicin and thiols (garlic and onion).
· Use the Right Fats
Saturated fats raise undesirable LDL cholesterol. To trim saturated fat intake, replace fatty cuts of meat with lean meat; opt for low or non-fat dairy products; limit butter and ghee, switch from saturated oil such as coconut, to unsaturated cooking oils and soft spreads made with olive, canola, peanut, corn, soybean and sunflower, and limit deep-fried foods, baked goods and dishes made with palm oil to no more than twice a week. Trimming total fat intake not only to curb undesirable fat intake, but also to prevent weight gain.
· Watch the cholesterol
Experts recommend restricting cholesterol intake to 300mg daily. Stick to low-fat dairy products and lean meat to limit cholesterol consumption from these sources. Organ meats such as liver and kidney, are high in cholesterol, so the advice is to limit consumption of these also. Although eggs are rich in cholesterol, they contain little saturated fat, so eggs are OK up to maximum of one per day, if no other cholesterol-rich foods are consumed.
· Heart-friendly proteins
A moderately high protein intake has been found to be associated with a significantly lower risk of heart disease. A varied selection of protein foods including lean meats, soybeans, legumes, nuts, poultry and fish is optimal. Studies have found that 25g of soy protein daily can lower total and LDL-cholesterol levels. Including other legumes is beneficial too, as they are a rich source of cholesterol-lowering soluble fibre.
· Something fishy
The American Heart Association Dietary Guidelines recommend the inclusion of at least two servings of fish (particularly oily fish) per week, as research has demonstrated that omega-3 fatty acids in fish do reduce risk of heart disease. Omega-3 fatty acids can be found in fish such as mackerel, lake trout, herring, sardines, albacore tuna and salmon. Other sources of omega-3 fatty acids include soybeans, flaxseed, canola oil, olive oil, and many nuts and seeds. Those who eat few of these foods, or with increased needs, may wish to consider supplementation, but check with your physician first for those with medical condition or are having medication.
· Fruit and vegetables - 5-a-day!
The nutritional benefits of fruit and vegetables are many, the most important one are probably vitamins A (or its pre-cursor beta-carotene), C and E; various phytochemicals including the flavonoids, and sulphurous compounds such as allicin; potassium; and dietary fibre. Experts recommend 5 or more servings per day of fruit and vegetables. Foods rich in beta-carotene include carrots, squash, yams, peaches, apricots, spinach and broccoli. Good sources of Vitamin C include peppers, green leafy vegetables, broccoli, tomatoes, potatoes, strawberries, oranges, grapefruit and other citrus fruits and for vitamin E best sources are avocado, vegetables oils, wheat germ and nuts.
Tip
1 serving = to 1 cup of cooked or raw vegetable; cup fruit juice or 1 medium-size piece of fruit; recommendations are that fruit juice can be counted as one fruit serve per day, and to aim for 3 vegetable serves and 2 fruit serves minimum per day.
· Shake less salt
High blood pressure is a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke, and as sodium intake is directly associated with blood pressure, medical experts recommend limiting sodium intake to less than 5g daily by limiting use of table salt and cutting down on high salt sodium foods such as salty snacks, and fish sauce.
· Heart Healthy B Vitamins
Homocysteine is a natural product of the breakdown of protein in the body and high levels of homocysteine in the blood have been linked with increased risk of diseases related to the heart and blood vessels. A combination of folic acid and vitamins B6 and B12 have been found to reduce blood homocysteine levels so boosting these vitamins in the daily diet makes sense. To maximize your intake of these B vitamins eat generous quantities of a variety of vegetables, fruits and legumes, and also moderate amounts of poultry, fish and beef.
Tea, particularly green tea is also a useful source of flavonoids and is calorie-free when drunk without milk or sugar.
And don ’ t forget, the benefits of a heart-friendly diet will be much enhanced with a heart-friendly lifestyle.
· Get Active
Experts recommend at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity on most days of the week for heart- healthy benefits.
Tip
The health benefit s of 30 minutes of exercise daily, can be taken as two x fifteen minute sessions or even 3 x ten minute sessions! Find ways to build exercise into your daily routine. For example, brisk walking, dancing to your favourite music, exercise workout to exercise video, taking the steps instead of the elevator or lift are all examples of moderately vigorous physical activity which will provide health benefits, and don’ t need a trip to the gym or specialist sports gear.
· Give up smoking
Smoking is a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke.
The healthy normal levels of uric acid <7 mg/dL
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 legumes (peas & beans). You may notice that the high-purine foods also contain high cholesterol such as organ meats, red meats and seafoods, except mushroom and legumes.
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 (if it is applicable). Some interfere with the body's ability to remove uric acid and can trigger gout: diuretics, cyclosporine, niacin, levodopa and low doses of aspirin.
Protect your joitns, don't put unnecessary excessive stress and strain on any of your joints.
Thank You.

Question:
Hi, I would like to start a weight loss program but am not sure which of the brands product can help me.
I am 172cm tall and my weight is 86kg. I do not exercise regularly and I feel tired constantly. |
| |
Answer:
Your BMI (Kgm2) is 29, categorized as obese. The healthy range of BMI is 18.5-22.9, thus, your ideal weight should be below 68 Kg.
Healthy eating is vitally important in the fat burning process and weight maintainance.
A fat loss diet must be low in calories. If the amount of calories you take is greater than the amount you bun, you'll still put on body fat. For your age and weight, you should take approximately 1800-2000kcal (commonly known as calories). However, if you are very active and your work requires you to be physically involved, then a 2200 calorie intake should be fine. Most importantly, a healthy diet is one that is low in bad fat (such as saturated fatty acid, cholesterol in animal origin foods) and consists of a wide variety of food group (good fat like omega 3, moderate amount of protein, generous fruits and vegetables). Ideally, you should spread your calories out into 5 small meals a day instead of 2 or 3 big ones so that you don't overeat.
Exercise enhances the fat burning process. You may like to go for those exercise such as swimming, jogging, weight-lifting. If you don't have much time for proper exercise, walking around the block a few times at lunch, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, and parking at a spot that isn't convenient, standing and walking (to drink water or to washroom) frequently in the mist of your work, are all examples of ways that you can easily bring exercise into your life.
You may closely monitor your weight loss program by taking your body weight twice a week. The healthy pace of losing weight is 0.5-1kg/week. After 4-6 weeks, the rate will slightly reduce or become stagnant. You need to be patient and keep up the healthy living (exercise and healthy eating) to overcome the plateau period and further reduce the excessive fat.
At BRAND'S, we believe that keeping excess fat off and maintaining a healthy weight is the key to a lean and firm body. We encourage individuals to achieve this by having a regular exercise regime (exercise on the average 3 times per week for at least half an hour each time) and healthy eating plan (less fat, sugar and fried food; more fiber, fruits and vegetables) and coupled with BRAND'S health supplements that are intended to promote fat burning and minimise excess fat storage in the body.
In addition, depending on your specific needs, you may like to either choose to consume BRAND'S Capsaicin + Green Tea Extract with Essence of Chicken (added with HCA) or BRAND'S CLA + Green Tea Extract, or both.
BRAND'S Capsaicin + Green Tea Extract with EOC (added with HCA) and BRAND'S CLA + Green Tea Extract have their own unique efficacy.
BRAND'S Capsaicin + Green Tea Extract with EOC (added with HCA) is intended to increase the body's metabolic rate (the rate at which your body burns calories), thus helping to burn up excess fat accumulated in the body. This product is suitable for people who want to reduce overall body fat for their long-term health benefits.
BRAND'S CLA + Green Tea Extract on the other hand, enhances the utilization of existing fat in the body, thus promotes lean and firm body. CLA has been shown to reduce certain type of enzyme in the body to inhibit the uptake of triglycerides (a storage form of fat in body) by the fat cells from the bloodstream. Coupled with some moderate exercise, CLA also works in muscle to breakdown fatty acids for energy production. This product is suitable for people who did not find thermogenic or metabolic products useful in controlling body fat, they are advise to take CLA to control their body fat content.
You may like to choose either one or both products depending on your specific needs and concern. We would also like to highlight that these two products are not intended as a slimming product. Both products are intended to be consume on regular basis to help reduce excessive fat accumulation by improving body metabolism and thus promoting general well-being.
Your tiredness may due to the sluggish metabolism.
Maintaining healthy weight and keeping the excess fat off is never in a day's work. It requires discipline and effort and long term commitment to keep to a healthy lifestyle to stay healthy.
TIPS TO SUCCESSFUL WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
Boil, steam, roast and stir-fry your food with least oil rather than deep frying.
Moderating your portion size is a simple way to reduce total calories and ultimately manage your weight.
Increase your intake of water. An active metabolism requires large quantities of water. Drink a tall glass of cold water before each meal and every time you feel hungry between meals.
Increase your intake of fiber. Eat beans, fresh vegetables, fruit, oat bran, and other high fiber foods. Also, eat healthy foods and reduce fats. Beware of those invisible fat and sugar in drinks, pastries and cookies.
Don't skip meals. Your first meal after waking activates your metabolism. Skipping meals causes your body to go into a "starvation" mode, slowing down to conserve energy.
Take your time eating to make sure than every mouthful is chewed at least 20 times.
Remember to eliminate eating between meals! If you feel that you must have "something" remember to drink a cold glass of water and eat an apple instead of junk food.
Also, remember that old saying, "A moment on the lips, forever on the hips!"
Thank you.

Question:
Both of my knee are having joint problem when I perform jogging. Can I know which health product is able to help me reduce the pain during the exercise.
possibile to advice me though phone?
Regards

Answer:
There are several conditions that can cause joint pain such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis or gout arthritis. The most common one is the wear and tear arthritis (Osteoarthritis) in which the typical symptom is joint pain (especially keen joint) during exercise.
Cartilage becomes rough and thinner due to degeneration, overuse of joint (athletes or sportperson) and injury. As cartilage wears away, it becomes fragile and tear easily and thus shock absorbent ability for the joint becomes weak, causing the bones to rub against each other and causes pain when having weight bearing activities like jogging.
Health tips to tackle joint problem:
-Gucosamines and calcium: building blocks for healthy bones and joints
-Antioxidant: neutralize free radicals, protect the joints and prevent joint degeneration
-Maintain an ideal body weight: reduces the stress and burden of the joint
-Exercise (not too intense, preferably the one with less impact to joint): Enhances joint flexibility, bone mass density and strengthen the muscle
-Joint protection: Avoid overuse of the joint
Glucosamine is a form of amino sugar that play a role in cartilage formation and repair, giving cartilage elasticity and helps to reduce joint pain. The combine action of GLU+EOC has been scientifically proven can effectively reduce inflammation caused by joint disease (arthritis) and thus helps to improve the condition. It is proven that GLU+EOC is superior to GLU alone.
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.
Hope it helps.

Question:
How to lose weight effectively? |
| |
Answer:
According to Singapore Health Promotion Board, the healthy range of BMI is 18.5-22.9. You may calculate your BMI (Kgm2) by dividing your weight (kg) by your height square. The formula is weight in Kg/height in meter x height in meter.
Healthy eating is vitally important in the fat burning process and weight maintainance.
A fat loss diet must be low in calories. If the amount of calories you take is greater than the amount you bun, you'll still put on body fat. For your age, you should take approximately 1500-1600kcal (commonly known as calories). However, if you are very active and your work requires you to be physically involved, then a 1700 calorie intake should be fine. Most importantly, a healthy diet is one that is low in bad fat (such as saturated fatty acid, cholesterol in animal origin foods) and consists of a wide variety of food group (good fat like omega 3, moderate amount of protein, generous fruits and vegetables).

If you don't have much time for proper exercise, walking around the block a few times at lunch, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, and parking at a spot that isn't convenient, standing and walking (to drink water or to washroom) frequently in the mist of your work, are all examples of ways that you can easily bring exercise into your life.
At BRAND'S, we believe that keeping excess fat off and maintaining a healthy weight is the key to a lean and firm body. We encourage individuals to achieve this by having a regular exercise regime (exercise on the average 3 times per week for at least half an hour each time) and healthy eating plan (less fat, sugar and fried food; more fiber, fruits and vegetables) and coupled with BRAND'S health supplements that are intended to promote fat burning and minimise excess fat storage in the body.
In addition, depending on your specific needs, you may like to either choose to consume BRAND'S Capsaicin + Green Tea Extract with Essence of Chicken (added with HCA) or BRAND'S CLA + Green Tea Extract, or both.
BRAND'S Capsaicin + Green Tea Extract with EOC (added with HCA) and BRAND'S CLA + Green Tea Extract have their own unique efficacy.
BRAND'S Capsaicin + Green Tea Extract with EOC (added with HCA) is intended to increase the body's metabolic rate (the rate at which your body burns calories), thus helping to burn up excess fat accumulated in the body. This product is suitable for people who want to reduce overall body fat for their long-term health benefits.
BRAND'S CLA + Green Tea Extract on the other hand, enhances the utilization of existing fat in the body, thus promotes lean and firm body. CLA has been shown to reduce certain type of enzyme in the body to inhibit the uptake of triglycerides (a storage form of fat in body) by the fat cells from the bloodstream. Coupled with some moderate exercise, CLA also works in muscle to breakdown fatty acids for energy production. This product is suitable for people who did not find thermogenic or metabolic products useful in controlling body fat, they are advise to take CLA to control their body fat content.
You may like to choose either one or both products depending on your specific needs and concern. We would also like to highlight that these two products are not intended as a slimming product. Both products are intended to be consume on regular basis to help reduce excessive fat accumulation thus promoting general well-being.
Maintaining healthy weight and keeping the excess fat off is never in a day's work. It requires discipline and effort and long term commitment to keep to a healthy lifestyle to stay healthy.
Thank you.

Question:
I have been taking Brand's Innershine + Sesamin with Schisandra Extract and Biocalth Calcium everyday. Am I consume too much health supplement??? |
| |
Answer:
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.
The ingredients in BRAND'S product are of natural ingredients and are proven to be safe when consumed in the recommended manner. People have used the active ingredients naturally for a very long time and safely. There are no known side-effect with them. However, should you have any other medical condition or/and currently taking some form of medications, we would recommend you to consult your medical doctor before consuming any form of supplements.
Since the products (BRAND'S Sesamin with Schisandra Extract and Biocalth Calcium) that you are taking are to address different needs, thus it is fine to have both in your supplement regime.
Thank You. |

Dear Sir or Madam:

Answer:
For your age, you should take approximately 1600-1800kcal (commonly known as calories). However, if you are very active and your work requires you to be physically involved, then a 2000 calorie intake should be fine. Most importantly, a healthy diet is one that is low in bad fat (such as saturated fatty acid, cholesterol in animal origin foods) and consists of a wide variety of food group (good fat like omega 3, moderate amount of protein, generous fruits and vegetables).
At BRAND'S, we believe that keeping excess fat off and maintaining a healthy weight is the key to a lean and firm body. We encourage individuals to achieve this by having a regular exercise regime (exercise on the average 3 times per week for at least half an hour each time) and healthy eating plan (less fat, sugar and fried food; more fiber, fruits and vegetables) and coupled with BRAND'S health supplements that are intended to promote fat burning and minimise excess fat storage in the body.
A fat loss diet must be low in calories. If the amount of calories you take is greater than the amount you bun, you'll still put on body fat. Ideally, you should spread your calories out into 5 small meals a day instead of 2 or 3 big ones so that you don't overeat.
Exercise such as jogging, swimming and weight-lifting can enhance fat burning process. If you don't have much time for proper exercise, walking around the block a few times at lunch, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, and parking at a spot that isn't convenient, standing and walking (to drink water or to washroom) frequently in the mist of your work, are all examples of ways that you can easily bring exercise into your life.

TIPS TO SUCCESSFUL WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
Boil, steam, roast and stir-fry your food with least oil rather than deep frying.
Moderating your portion size is a simple way to reduce total calories and ultimately manage your weight.
Increase your intake of water. An active metabolism requires large quantities of water. Drink a tall glass of cold water before each meal and every time you feel hungry between meals.
Increase your intake of fiber. Eat beans, fresh vegetables, fruit, oat bran, and other high fiber foods. Also, eat healthy foods and reduce fats. Beware of those invisible fat and sugar in drinks, pastries and cookies.
Don't skip meals. Your first meal after waking activates your metabolism. Skipping meals causes your body to go into a "starvation" mode, slowing down to conserve energy.
Take your time eating to make sure than every mouthful is chewed at least 20 times.
Remember to eliminate eating between meals! If you feel that you must have "something" remember to drink a cold glass of water and eat an apple instead of junk food.
Also, remember that old saying, "A moment on the lips, forever on the hips!"
Thank you.

Answer:
At BRAND'S, we believe that keeping excess fat off and maintaining a healthy weight is the key to a lean and firm body. We encourage individuals to achieve this by having a regular exercise regime (exercise on the average 3 times per week for at least half an hour each time) and healthy eating plan (less fat, sugar and fried food; more fiber, fruits and vegetables) and coupled with BRAND'S health supplements that are intended to promote fat burning and minimise excess fat storage in the body.
Depending on your specific needs, you may like to either choose to consume BRAND'S Capsaicin + Green Tea Extract with Essence of Chicken or BRAND'S CLA + Green Tea Extract.
BRAND'S Capsaicin + Green Tea Extract is intended to increase the body's metabolic rate (the rate at which your body burns calories), thus helping to burn up excess fat accumulated in the body. This product is suitable for people who want to reduce overall body fat for their long-term health benefits.
BRAND'S CLA + Green Tea Extract on the other hand, enhances the utilization of existing fat in the body, thus promotes lean and firm body. Coupled with some moderate exercise, CLA also works in muscle to breakdown fatty acids for energy production. This product is suitable for people who did not find thermogenic or metabolic products useful in controlling body fat, they are advise to take CLA to control their body fat content.
BRAND'S health supplements range are health supplements that contain natural ingredients and thus, should not be harmful if consumed in the recommended manner. The ingredients in the products could also be consumed from natural food sources such as capsaicin is the natural active component of cayenne pepper (also known as chilli); CLA is from safflower oil while green tea extract is a natural source from green tea itself. There are no known side-effect with these ingredients.
However, as a general guideline, we do not recommend the use of BRAND'S Health Supplements for pregnant or lactating women as they may have their own specific medical needs and concerns. For pregnant and breastfeeding mothers, and individuals who are planning to get pregnant soon, you should consult your healthcare professional prior to taking any health supplements products. If you are allowed to take the health supplements, please don't take them at the same time with the Chinese herbs/medicines as they may reduce the absorption of the ingredients.
Nevertheless, we do recommend you to consume BRAND'S Essence of Chicken as part of your healthy regime even during pregnancy. In this case, BRAND'S Essence of Chicken has been scientifically proven to given you long term benefits, such as :
· Improving the body's metabolism, helps you to recover from fatigue and fight physical and mental strain.

Some tips for you to improve fertility:
Quit smoking, Stop alcohol drinking
Smoking or alcohol drinking greatly diminishes your chances of getting pregnant and may lead to miscarriages, premature birth, and low-birth weight babies. Plus, research suggests that smoking may affect your fertility and lower your partner's sperm count. In fact, studies have shown that even secondhand smoke may affect your chances of getting pregnant.
Fuel up on nutrients
Eat well balanced meals, more whole grains, nuts, fruits and vegetables. B Vitamins can help you combat against stress and vitamin C can help to improve sperm count and its motility. Folic acid, a B vitamin that can help reduce the risk of serious birth defects that affect the brain and spinal cord. Women who are planning to conceive should therefore receive adequate folic acid supplementation through a multivitamin.
Get moving
Regular and moderate exercise helps you maintain a healthy body weight, helps control stress, and gives you a healthier overall body.
Weight in check
Healthy weight women have an easier time getting pregnant than overweight or underweight women. Studies show that women whose body mass index (BMI) is below 20 or above 30 have a harder time getting pregnant.
Mind Control
Women who suffer from depression are twice as likely to have problems with fertility as women who don't. Stress is sometimes responsible for certain infertility problems such as hormonal problems. Try stress management techniques, such as yoga and meditation, which can also help in getting pregnant.
Good Timing
You will have little chance of getting pregnant if you had sex on the wrong days and missed the most fertile ones. For most women, ovulation happens approximately 14 days before the next menstrual period. As ovulation approaches, your chances of getting pregnant will increase.
Increase the Odds
Make woman vaginal environment as sperm-friendly as possible. Avoid vaginal sprays and scented tampons, artificial lubricants, and douching. Not only can they cause infections, they may wash away cervical mucus or create a hostile environment for the sperm.
Not Too Hot
Avoid vigorous exercise, hot tubs, and saunas since they raise the body temperature and may cause changes in ovulation and reduced sperm count. Tight briefs for man may affect sperm count.
Harmful matters
Heavy metal toxins, radiation, free radicals, etc may affect ovulation and sperm count.
Finally
Getting pregnant isn't always easy. In fact, even if everything is absolutely in perfect working order, you only have a 20-25% chance of conception each month. If you are under 30, and haven't conceived in 12 months, you should make an appointment to see your doctor as there could be some issues at play with are preventing you from getting pregnant. If you are over 35, and haven't succeeded in getting pregnant in six months, make an appointment to see your doctor, as infertility issues become more prevelant the older you get. If you are over 40, then do not delay in getting medical help.

Question:
Does taking lecithin lower cholesterol. My cholesterol level is 214. Will taking lecithin help to reduce weight. what else do you recommend to lower cholesterol. I weigh about 69 lb |
| |
Answer:
Thank you for your recent query.
We will like to share with you that your total blood cholesterol would fall into the category of borderline high risk based on the following:
Desirable — Less than 200 mg/dL
Borderline high risk — 200–239 mg/dL
High risk — 240 mg/dL and over
We will recommend that you consider making some lifestyle changes to reduce your blood cholesterol level to below 200 mg/dL.
Even if the total cholesterol range is between 200 and 239 mg/dL, there may be other risks for a heart attack so do consult your doctor to interpret your results especially as every individual's case is different.
Lecithin can help to control cholesterol and to maintain healthy cholesterol level by breaking down cholesterol in blood and facilitating the removal of excess cholesterol. It also helps to reduce build-up of cholesterol. Omega 3 is another highly recommended supplement for heart health. Besides supplementation, it is best to incorporate healthy eating habits as part of your healthy lifestyle.
At BRAND'S, we do have the above supplements so will encourage you to consume them based on your needs and concerns.
Based on your age and weight, you should also consume an average of approximately 1800kcal (commonly known as calories). However, if you are very active and your work requires you to be physically involved, then a 2000-2200 calorie intake should be fine. More importantly, a healthy diet is one that is low in bad fat (such as saturated fatty acid, cholesterol in animal origin foods, etc.) and consists of a wide variety of food groups (e.g. good fat like omega 3, moderate amounts of protein, generous fruits and vegetables).
As for supplementation, depending on your specific needs, you may like to either choose to consume BRAND'S InnerShine Capsaicin + Green Tea Extract with Essence of Chicken or BRAND'S InnerShine CLA + Green Tea Extract, or even both.
BRAND'S InnerShine Capsaicin + Green Tea Extract is intended to increase the body's metabolic rate (the rate at which your body burns calories), thus helping to burn up excess fat accumulated in the body.
BRAND'S InnerShine CLA + Green Tea Extract on the other hand, enhances the utilization of existing fat in the body, thus promoting a lean and firm body. This product is suitable for people who do not find thermogenic or metabolic products useful in controlling body fat.
At BRAND'S, we believe that keeping excess fat off and maintaining a healthy weight is the key to a lean and firm body. We encourage individuals to achieve this by having a regular exercise regime (i.e. exercise on the average 3 times per week for at least half an hour each time) and a healthy eating plan (i.e. less fat, sugar and fried foods; more fiber, fruits and vegetables) and coupled with BRAND'S health supplements that are intended to promote fat burning and minimise excess fat storage in the body.
We hope that you have found the above information and hope that you can continue to make BRAND'S your health partner in pursuit of a healthy lifestyle.

Question:
I am 1.76m weight 50kg, (39yrs old) but with small tummy cause hv given birth to 3 kids, what can i eat to smaller my tummy? At this age can i still learn yoga?
Thanks! |

Answer:
You BMI (Kgm2) is 16. According to Singapore Health Promotion Board, the healthy range is 18.5-22.9. You are in the category of underweight (<18.5).
For your age and weight, you should take approximately 1600 kcal (commonly known as calories). However, if you are very active and your work requires you to be physically involved, then a 1800 calorie intake should be fine. Ideally, you should spread your calories out into 5 small meals a day instead of 2 or 3 big ones so that you don't overeat. Most importantly, a healthy diet is one that is low in bad fat (such as saturated fatty acid, cholesterol in animal origin foods) and consists of a wide variety of food group (good fat like omega 3, moderate amount of protein, generous fruits and vegetables).
In addition, we would like to introduce you to BRAND'S CLA + Green Tea Extract.
BRAND'S CLA + Green Tea Extract can help to enhance the utilization of existing fat in the body, thus promote lean and firm body. Coupled with some moderate exercise, CLA works in muscle to breakdown fatty acids for energy production.
However, it does not specifically target fat in particular areas. If you want to trim the areas that you have specified, you should consult a gym instructor to appropriate various training regimes to tone specified body parts. Taking BRAND'S CLA + Green Tea Extract in conjunction with a healthy diet and appropriate physical activity plan can help you achieve your goal.
Yoga is fine at your age if under the proper guidance of a qualified intructor .
Maintaining healthy weight and keeping in shape is never in a day's work. It requires discipline and effort and long term commitment to keep to a healthy lifestyle to stay healthy.

Question:
Does it means to say when I take the Innershine products
my fat will be burn even though
I do not do any exercise? |

Answer:
At BRAND'S, we believe that keeping excess fat off and maintaining a healthy weight is the key to a lean and firm body. We encourage individuals to achieve this by having a regular exercise regime (exercise on the average 3 times per week for at least half an hour each time) and healthy eating plan (less fat, sugar and fried food; more fiber, fruits and vegetables) and coupled with BRAND'S health supplements that are intended to promote fat burning and minimise excess fat storage in the body.
Brand's Capsaicin + Green Tea Extract with Essence of Chicken (added HCA) helps in promoting body fat loss. Capsaicin helps in the fat oxidation (burning) while the Green Tea extract helps to increase energy expenditure. HCA inhibits production of fat as well as increases the fat burning process. In addition, Essence of Chicken is proven to increase metabolic rate by 16%.
Though this supplement helps in fat management by boosting the metabolic rate, it is advisable to be taken in conjunction of a healthy diet and physical activity for best results.

At BRAND'S, we believe that keeping excess fat off and maintaining a healthy weight is the key to a lean and firm body. We encourage individuals to achieve this by having a regular exercise regime (exercise on the average 3 times per week for at least half an hour each time) and healthy eating plan (less fat, sugar and fried food; more fiber, fruits and vegetables) and coupled with BRAND'S health supplements that are intended to promote fat burning and minimise excess fat storage in the body.
A fat loss diet must be low in calories. If the amount of calories you take is greater than the amount you bun, you'll still put on body fat. Ideally, you should spread your calories out into 5 small meals a day instead of 2 or 3 big ones so that you don't overeat.
Exercise enhances the fat burning process. Good exercises include brisk walking, swimming, weight-lifting, yoga or pilates. If you don't have much time for proper exercise, walking around the block a few times at lunch, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, and parking at a spot that isn't convenient, standing and walking (to drink water or to washroom) frequently in the mist of your work, are all examples of ways that you can easily bring exercise into your life.
In addition, depending on your specific needs, you may like to either choose to consume BRAND'S Capsaicin + Green Tea Extract with Essence of Chicken or BRAND'S CLA + Green Tea Extract.
BRAND'S Capsaicin + Green Tea Extract and BRAND'S CLA + Green Tea Extract have their own unique efficacy.
BRAND'S Capsaicin + Green Tea Extract is intended to increase the body's metabolic rate (the rate at which your body burns calories), thus helping to burn up excess fat accumulated in the body. This product is suitable for people who want to reduce overall body fat for their long-term health benefits.
BRAND'S CLA + Green Tea Extract on the other hand, enhances the utilization of existing fat in the body, thus promotes lean and firm body. CLA has been shown to reduce certain type of enzyme in the body to inhibit the uptake of triglycerides (a storage form of fat in body) by the fat cells from the bloodstream. Coupled with some moderate exercise, CLA also works in muscle to breakdown fatty acids for energy production. This product is suitable for people who did not find thermogenic or metabolic products useful in controlling body fat, they are advise to take CLA to control their body fat content.
You may like to choose either one of both products depending on your specific needs and concern. We would also like to highlight that these two products are not intended as a slimming product. Both products are intended to be consume on regular basis to help reduce excessive fat accumulation thus promoting general well-being.
For those who are sensitive to green tea, it is advisable to take these supplements in the morning and afternoon, after your meal to avoid stomach discomfort or sleep disturbance.
Maintaining healthy weight and keeping the excess fat off is never in a day's work. It requires discipline and effort and long term commitment to keep to a healthy lifestyle to stay healthy.
TIPS TO SUCCESSFUL WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
Boil, steam, roast and stir-fry your food with least oil rather than deep frying.
Moderating your portion size is a simple way to reduce total calories and ultimately manage your weight.
Increase your intake of water. An active metabolism requires large quantities of water. Drink a tall glass of cold water before each meal and every time you feel hungry between meals.
Increase your intake of fiber. Eat beans, fresh vegetables, fruit, oat bran, and other high fiber foods. Also, eat healthy foods and reduce fats. Beware of those invisible fat and sugar in drinks, pastries and cookies.
Don't skip meals. Your first meal after waking activates your metabolism. Skipping meals causes your body to go into a "starvation" mode, slowing down to conserve energy.
Take your time eating to make sure than every mouthful is chewed at least 20 times.
Remember to eliminate eating between meals! If you feel that you must have "something" remember to drink a cold glass of water and eat an apple instead of junk food.
Also, remember that old saying, "A moment on the lips, forever on the hips!"
Thank you. |

Question:
I have consume Brand Capsaian + Green Tea Extract for about 2mths and my weight from 58kg to 56kg and now I am still at 56kg and dont seem to lose any more weight ever since then. Could you kindly advise me what should I do? |
| |
Answer:
I may afraid that your body weight have come to the plateau stage, which body weight loss will stop for a while before reducing further and this normally occurs after 2-3 months of weight management.
You need to be patient and keep up the healthy living (exercise and healthy eating) to overcome the plateau period and further reduce the excessive fat.
You may have to consider of shifting to BRAND'S CLA + Green Tea Extract, which enhances the utilization of existing fat in the body and thus promotes lean and firm body. CLA has been shown to reduce certain type of enzyme in the body to inhibit the uptake of triglycerides (a storage form of fat in body) by the fat cells from the bloodstream. Coupled with exercise, CLA also works in muscle to breakdown fatty acids for energy production. This product is suitable for people who did not find thermogenic or metabolic products useful in controlling body fat, they are advise to take CLA to control their body fat content.
We would also like to highlight that these two products, BRAND'S Capsaicin + Green Tea Extract or BRAND'S CLA + Green Tea Extract are not intended as a slimming product. Both products are intended to be consumed on regular basis to help reduce excessive fat accumulation thus promoting general well-being.
In addition, fat loss does not equate weight loss, as weight comprises of body tissues, body fluid, bones, muscles and fats. We do have consumers who loses fat mass, and with regular exercise, achieve lean muscles (but not bulky muscle as in body builders). Therefore, there are no significant change in their weight. Rather, because of the loss in fat mass, their overall health improves. A sensible meal planning and a regular exercise regimen should also be in-place in conjunction with health supplements.
Maintaining healthy weight and keeping the excess fat off is never in a day's work. It requires discipline and effort and long term commitment to keep to a healthy lifestyle to stay healthy.
Thank you.

Question:
I have been going to the gym but I don’t seem to be seeing any visible difference in terms of losing body fat. Would taking fat burners during my gym workouts help? Which products would you recommend for this? |

Answer:
Thank you for your interest in BRAND'S Health Supplement products.
BRAND'S InnerShine is a range of innovative oral beauty health supplements, catered to the beauty needs of today's women. Developed with an emphasis on quality, BRAND’S InnerShine uses a unique combination of scientifically-proven ingredients to help you achieve lasting beauty that starts with good health from within
BRAND'S InnerShine CLA + Green Tea Extract is designed to reduce body fat for a lean and firm body. CLA reduces fat storage and enhances the use of existing fat in the body. This is achieved by activating unique enzymes which promote fat breakdown, particularly in the muscles and adipose tissues, while reducing the deposit of fat (triglycerides) in fat cells. Green Tea Extract helps to stimulate breakdown of fats by increasing energy expenditure. In short, this combination reduces fat storage and activates unique enzymes to promote fat breakdown for a lean and firm body, in conjunction with a sensible exercise plan.
BRAND'S Capsaicin + Green Tea Extract with Essence of Chicken is uniquely formulated to burn extra fat in the body. It scientifically combines the synergistic fat-burning effects of Green Tea extract and Capsaicin with BRAND’S Essence of Chicken to effectively reduce excessive body fat. While BRAND’S Essence of Chicken increases overall body metabolic rate, the Green Tea extract and Capsaicin stimulates thermogenesis, also known as the calorie-burning process. As a result, the body can metabolize, utilize and burn stored fat more quickly. In addition, the Green Tea extract also helps in suppressing the conversion of excess dietary carbohydrate into sugar which in turn becomes fat. This product is available at all leading pharmacies and selected departmental stores.
You can consume BRAND'S InnerShine CLA + Green Tea Extract and BRAND'S Capsaicin + Green Tea Extract with Essence of Chicken together as both products help reduce body fat content through different ingredients and mechanism.
Please note that both supplements should be taken after meal.

Question:
I understand that BRAND'S Chili+ Green Tea Extract with Essence of Chicken can effectively reduce body fat. Does that means that it will aid in my efforts to slim down? |
| |
Answer:
Healthy eating and regular physical activity is the key to weight loss. Gradual and consistent weight loss has shown to be most effective in maintaining your desired weight. Do not attempt to fast or go on a crash diet as your metabolic rate will decline drastically. You may want to see a Nutritionist or a Dietician for a specified meal plan but most of all, try increasing the level of your physical activity, for example climb the stairs instead of taking the elevator. Taking small steps to increase your physical activity and practicing healthy eating is the surest and safest way to weight loss.
BRAND’S Chili + Green Tea Extract with Essence of Chicken is not a slimming product. However, when taken in conjunction with healthy eating and physical activity, this product can helps to burn fat and increase metabolic rate. All ingredients in BRAND’S Chili + Green Tea Extract with Essence of Chicken are derived from natural ingredients. It helps in the fat burning process and increases energy expenditure. Chili helps to burn excess fat, while Green Tea Extract increases energy expenditure. Also, Essence of Chicken has been proven to increase metabolism by to up to 16%.
We advise to take the recommended dosage daily and not more than what is stipulated. Please take the supplements after meal.
BRAND'S Chili + Green Tea Extract with Essence of Chicken has been clinically proven to be safe and effective. Apart from minor dryness of mouth, no major side effects have been reported. According to our research, depending on an individual's sensitivity to certain food products, your body may go through a temporary "adaptation" process, where you may experience minor dryness of mouth or sleeplessness. Such effects will eventually disappear once you have adapted to it.
Note that BRAND’S Chili with Green Tea Extract is not suitable for people with a history of gastric problems. If you experience stomach discomfort after consuming the recommended dose, stop taking the health supplements immediately.
For pregnant, lactating and breastfeeding ladies, this supplement should not be consumed. If you are on some form of medication, please consult your health professional before starting on any supplements.
