Question: If BRAND'S Evening Primrose (EPO) has active Essense of Chicken ingredients, will you advice me to drink BRAND'S Essense of Chicken at the same time? Will I be consuming too much protein? Also, how often we need to drink Essense of Chicken (everyday? twice a week or as and when we like)? Thanks.
 
Answer: The daily dosage (4 softgels) of BRAND'S EPO+EOC contains 800mg of Essence of Chicken and the protein amount that can be found in the daily dosage is about 1.7g.

The daily recommended protein intake for a healthy adult is 0.8g per kg weight; simply multiply this factor by your body weight (in kg) and you will derive on the recommended amount of protein for your daily need. For example, your protein requirement is about 40g if you are 50kg of body weight.

For a healthy individual, it is recommended that protein intake should represent no more than 15-20% of one's daily kcal intake, or not exceeding double the recommended dietary allowance of protein (for male <116g protein; for female <100g protein).

High-quality protein foods come from animal source (meat, poultry, eggs, milk); vegetables such as lentils, dried beans and peas, nuts and cereals provide a relatively lower quality protein. The high and low quality of protein food refers to how well it supplies all the essential components of protein (i.e. the essential amino acids).

Excess protein intake may put more demands on the kidneys as these are the organs responsible for eliminating the by-products of protein breakdown. Of course, there are other concerns with high protein diet, e.g. the saturated fat and cholesterol that come with it. Also, people who eat excessive amount of protein-rich foods may ignore the also essential fruits and vegetables.

The recommended intake of BRAND'S Essence of Chicken is one bottle a day. It is intended to be consumed on a regular basis to promote overall well being. One bottle of BRAND'S Essence of Chicken (70g) contains approximately 5-5.6g protein. This translates to only 25% of the protein content of a piece of 100g chicken meat; and constitutes only 5.6% of the recommended protein intake.

Chicken meat is a good source of nutrients and proteins, like lysine and vitamin B. BRAND'S Essence of Chicken is an extract of fine quality chicken and it provides protein in an easily digestible and absorbed form. Its doubled-boiled method gives you all the goodness and nutrients of chicken essence. Moreover, it is free from fat and cholesterol, thus making it a healthier choice for health-conscious individuals.

Daily consumption of BRAND'S Essence of Chicken will enhance your health and contribute to long term health benefits.

Question: I would like to try the Bird nest with collagen but I am in my early twenties. Will it be too early to consume collagen for my age? Is there any side effect if I were to consume too much collagen more than twice a week?
 
Answer: BRAND’S Bird's Nest+Collagen replenishes skin from within by supplying collagen thus promoting firm, supple and elastic skin whereas bird nest is a traditionally consumed food for skin youthfulness. Epidermal growth factor found in bird nest helps to promote cell regeneration and thus improves complexion.

As collagen makes up 75% of our skin tissue, supplementation of collagen provides the nutrient for the structural repair of skin. Collagen helps to firm up skin structure for a more supple and healthy skin. It has the ability to retain moisture in skin.

The ability of our body to produce collagen will decline when we age. Depending on your needs, you may start taking supplement at younger age to delay the aging effect.

There is no report on over dosage or adverse events associated with collagen use. However, individuals who are hypersensitive to component of collagen should avoid any supplementation containing collagen. Doses up to a bottle of Bird Nest+Collagen daily generally are well tolerated.

Question: I have purchased Sesamin with Schisandra and Sesamin with Royal Jelly. I would like to know if these 2 products would be beneficial for acne-prone skin person. Can I consume both products concurrently? If so, do I consume all 8 tablets? I'm also currently consuming Abbott's High-Potency B-Complex with Zinc, Vitamin E and 750mg of Vitamin C Filmtab. Could you advise me on how could I take all the above mentioned products together? I look forward to your advice soon. Thanks!
 
Answer: Acne can be caused by many factors such as environmental pollution, stress, harmful toxins in the body, allergy to certain cosmetic products, an inadequate cleansing regimen or poor diet. Acne outbreak is also quite common in female especially during the monthly menstrual cycles because of the hormonal changes in the body.

Poor management of acne and improper diet may result in poor wound healing and may cause permanent acne scars. The severity of acne and the healing of acne scars defer from individuals and in most cases, acne scars are permanent. In this case, it is more important to promote wound healing and skin rejuvenation in these individuals.

Here are some tips to control or reduce the outbreak of acne:

1. Drink at least 8 glasses of water per day.
2. Avoid fried, hot and spicy foods.
3. Avoid taking too much of sugar. Sugar promotes the growth of candida (a kind of fungus), which may be a contribute factor to acne.
4. Keep the affected area as free of oil as possible.
5. Avoid using makeup. If you must use cosmetic, use only natural, water-based products.
6. Do not squeeze the spots. Do not touch the affected area unless your hands have been thoroughly cleaned.
7. Cleanse your skin properly and if necessary, exfoliate to remove dead skin cells.
8. Avoid stress. Stress can promote hormonal changes and cause flare-ups.
9. Have adequate and good quality of rest.

Nutrition for the skin is also equally important.
Nourishing your skin from within start from having a well-balanced diet that consists of a variety of fruits and vegetables with essential vitamins and minerals.

BRAND’S products are health supplements, which promote general well-being through long-term consumption. It is not intended to treat specific medical conditions.

However, to help improve the health of your skin, we would like to introduce you to:

It also enhances wound healing due to its anti-inflammatory properties. It also have anti-bacterial effects. Pearl is also a very popular chinese tonic for smooth and beautiful skin besides promoting skin cell regeneration. Internal cleansing is a prerequisite for healthy skin and Sesamin enhances liver function to remove excessive toxin buildups in the body. Sesamin helps to promote healthy blood vessel structure, thus better blood and oxygen flow. This promotes the delivery of nutrients to the skin. Thus, with the unique combination of Sesamin, BRAND'S Sesamin with Royal Jelly provide nutrition for the skin and helps to maintain a youthful and radiant complexion.

BRAND’S Grape Seed Extract with Essence of Chicken can help prevent build-up of harmful free radicals due to hectic lifestyle and environmental factors.

It is advisable to split the dosage throughout the day, for instance 2 tabs of each product in the morning and another 2 tabs of each product in the afternoon or evenin; though it is still safe to consume 8 tabs at one go.

The health supplements that you are currently taking are fine to be taken together as there is no adverse interaction among the ingredients.

Question: I feel very tired easily. And my complexion is very bad.

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

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.

Question: i would like to get clearer skin and lose some weight [about 3-5 kg]. which supplement would you recommend.
 
Answer: Do you equate "clearer skin" with "brighter and fairer skin"? Would you be asking for a product with whitening effect? If yes, we would like apologize as currently BRAND'S does not have any product specifically for skin whitening. Whitening care is about making the skin clean and translucent without freckles, blemishes and discolorations, against harmful UV rays.

Skin pigmentation can be caused by several reasons. Overexposure to the sun (the skin cells attacked by free radicals and melanin formation) and use of harsh chemicals may cause skin pigmentation. Hormonal changes and use of certain drugs/ medication may also result in skin pigmentation. Biologically, skin pigmentation may also surface due to the aging process (free radical attack accelerates the aging process).

If the pigmentation is due to overexposure to the sun, we would strongly advise you to use protection such as sunscreen and limit the exposure to the sun. However, we would be glad to introduce you the BRAND’S Grape Seed Extract with Essence of Chicken to protect the skin cells from free radical attack.

Grape Seed Extract contains proanthocyanidins which are powerful antioxidants that removes free radicals (harmful substances that may be produced by environmental pollution, UV light, stress, etc) to promote healthy skin. As an anti-oxidant, it's 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 healthy. Grape Seed Extract also boosts the strength and elasticity of blood vessels and thus helps to deliver nutrients efficiently to skin cells.

However, BRAND'S products are not intended to treat medical or skin care condition. Rather, it is to be consumed together with healthy lifestyle for general well-being. In this case, BRAND'S products nourish you from within to promote skin health, while good skincare regimen should work hand in hand to beautify you from the outside.

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.


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.

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.


Thank you.

Brand's Evening Primrose Oil with Essence of Chicken
Evening Primrose Oil (EPO) is the richest source of Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA), an essential fatty acid that body converts to a hormone-like substance called prostaglandin EI (PGEI), which helps women to better cope with their monthly cycle for general well-being and helps to inhibit or reduce inflammation. Due to these anti-inflammatory functions, EPO can help improve skin problems such as dermatitis, eczema and acne. EPO helps those with acne problems by working to dilute sebum, a thick oily substance that causes outbreaks when over-produced. Reducing sebum production also lowers the risk of clogged pores.

The severity of acne and the healing ability defer from individuals. Therefore, proposed benefits of each product defer from individuals.

Nevertheless, BRAND'S products are not intended to treat medical or skin care condition. Rather, it is to be consumed together with healthy lifestyle for general well-being.

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. You may like to go for those exercise such as swimming, jogging or weight-lifting.

Coupled with controlled diet (through careful calories check) and moderate exercise (e.g. brisk walking for more than 30 min at least twice a week), the results will be even more noticeable.

We do have consumers giving us feedback that they observed fat lost in the tummy area and also overall fat reduction. Of course, the results do vary as individuals differ. Some are using it as a mean of controlling and maintaining their body fat for optimal health.

Answer: Thank you for your recent enquiry.

BRAND'S Sesamin with Celery Seed Extract does aid in regulating and maintaining healthy blood pressure. Sesamin - a sesame seed lignan - reduces cholesterol, helps to maintain blood vessel integrity and therefore benefits blood circulation. Celery seed extract on the other hand contains flavonoid compounds which had been reported to have the ability to decrease blood pressure.

Since Sesamin with Celery Seed Extract has blood pressure controlling effect, the blood pressure may be further reduced if it is taken with blood pressure lowering drugs.

However, extremely low blood pressure poses a health-risk. Without the information on the type and the dose of medication the person is on, we are unable to advise on the suitability as well as side-effects. We would strongly advise the person to seek a attending heathcare professional's advice before proceeding with ANY form of health supplements.

We do hope that you have found the above information useful.

Thank You.

Question: wat product is best for hair growth n hairloss prevention?does Brand's carry this kind of product?
 
Answer: The rate of hair growth depends on each individual. In general, each hair grows approximately 1cm per month. Environmental pollutants, illnesses, stress and poor nutrition can affect the rate of hair growth and may cause unhealthy hair. Hair loss cannot be prevented or reversed when due to aging processes or heredity; but many factors can promote the condition of the hair and as well as slow down the rate of hair loss.

Limit the exposure of the hair to harsh chemical products, over blow drying, bleaching and dyeing the hair. These products or hairstyling methods could damage the hair.

Good nutrition is essential in promoting healthy hair. A well-balanced diet is the basic foundation for healthy hair and overall health.
Hair is made up of protein. Food such as bean and legume, tofu, egg and meat are rich in protein. BRAND'S Essence of Chicken is also a good source of protein, and it is free of fat and cholesterol. Protein will help to stimulate hair growth and contribute towards healthy hair structure. Vitamins and minerals are also essential for healthy hair. Fruits and vegetables would also provide vitamins such as iron, vitamin B, vitamin C and zinc that are essential for healthy hair.

Bone mass formations stops during adulthood (no longer gaining bone but losing it). A woman can expect to lose approximately 15% of her peak bone mass during menopause (no or low level of estrogens production). Meanwhile, absorption of calcium declines with aging. In postmenopausal women, fractional absorption of calcium declines on the average of 0.21% yearly.

Additional dietary calcium cannot entirely prevent the inevitable loss of bone mineral that occurs in old age, but it can retard the losses from big bone. Therefore, it is crucial to constantly maintain a rich bank of calcium in our body when we are young to prevent onset of problems related to weak and brittle bones in later years.

It is advisable to have calcium supplement if you don't have adequate intake of calcium from food.

Question: Hi, I have a very oily skin with open pores, acne marks and occasional breakouts. Would like to know which products should I take to help me have a clear skin and lose the weight that I've gained during pregnancy. Currently, I'm taking the following: 1) Sesamin with Schisandra; 2) Capsaicin + Green Tea Extract with Essence of Chicken. Should I take anything else besides these two? Thanks & Regards
 
Answer: Acne can be caused by many factors such as environmental pollution, stress, harmful toxins in the body, allergy to certain cosmetic products, an inadequate cleansing regimen or poor diet. Acne outbreak is also quite common in female especially during the monthly menstrual cycles because of the hormonal changes in the body.

Poor management of acne and improper diet may result in poor wound healing and may cause permanent acne scars. The severity of acne and the healing of acne scars defer from individuals and in most cases, acne scars are permanent. In this case, it is more important to promote wound healing and skin rejuvenation in these individuals.

Here are some tips to control or reduce the outbreak of acne:

1. Drink at least 8 glasses of water per day.

2. Avoid fried, hot and spicy foods.

3. Avoid taking too much of sugar. Sugar promotes the growth of candida (a kind of fungus), which may be a contribute factor to acne.

4. Keep the affected area as free of oil as possible.

5. Avoid using makeup. If you must use cosmetic, use only natural, water-based products.

6. Do not squeeze the spots. Do not touch the affected area unless your hands have been thoroughly cleaned.

7. Cleanse your skin properly and if necessary, exfoliate to remove dead skin cells.

8. Avoid stress. Stress can promote hormonal changes and cause flare-ups.

9. Have adequate and good quality of rest.

Coupled with exercise, CLA also works in muscle to breakdown fatty acids for energy production. This product is suitable for people who enjoy active lifestyle and have regular exercise. Also, 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.

Question: hv been experiencing itchy, dry scaly skins on ear lobes and around neck especially after sweating from the sun, used aloe vera, olive skin, some moisturising cream, ok for a period, but problem still persists, please advise
 
Answer: Nourishing your skin from within start from having a well-balanced diet that consists of a variety of fruits and vegetables with essential vitamins and minerals.

Diet Recommendations for Dry Skin
· Antioxidants. Vitamins such as C, E and beta-carotene can help protect and repair skin exposed to pollutants and UV rays. Consume plenty of yellow and orange vegetables.
· Your body doesn't produce omega-3s — instead you obtain them from food or supplements. The best dietary sources are fatty fish or fish oil capsules — particularly salmon and salmon oil — flaxseeds and flaxseed oil, walnuts, and soybean and canola oils. Some dark green leafy vegetables such as spinach, kale and broccoli contain modest amounts of omega-3s. Incorporating these foods into your diet helps keep skin soft and supple, but it does even more for your overall health.
· Eat foods rich in pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), such as quark, raw. milk cheese, natural plain yogurt, kefir, leafy green vegetables, nutritional yeast and wheat germ. Pantothenic acid is need for the synthesis of fats and oils used by the skin.
· Drink at least 8-12 glasses or 2-3 litres of quality water every day to keep the skin well hydrated.
· Avoid fried foods, animal fats, and heat-processed vegetable oils. Heating oils leads to the production of free radicals, which have a destructive effect on the skin.
· Do not drink soft drinks or eat sugar, chocolate, potato chips, or other junk foods.
· Avoid alcohol and caffeine. These substances have a diuretic effect, causing the body and skin cells to lose fluids and essential minerals.
· Evening primrose oil supplements are beneficial for skin. They contain gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an essential fatty acid reputed to strengthen skin cells and boost their moisture content.

Supplements that are beneficial for skin health:

Some tips that may be helpful:
· Avoid using harsh soaps that dry the skin.
· Dry your skin thoroughly but gently -- pat, DON'T rub.
· Apply a moisturizer to the skin. The best time to do this is immediately after a bath or shower so that the moisturizer holds in the moisture from the shower.

Exercise benefits skin as it boosts circulation and encourages blood flow. Regular exercise will nourish and cleanse your skin from within.
