A miracle in a capsule

Laminine became a religious icon beginning 2008 when it was made popular by ‘religious science.' Laminin is a protein that supports cells cohesiveness in our organ (along with many other functions).
Laminin has “arms” that associate with other molecules to form sheets and bind cells. They’re like the “glue” of our cell, organs, and body altogether. It is important because without Laminin, our cells won’t be in place to function properly. Christian followers were quick to juxtapose that Laminin is like Jesus, holding life altogether.

The controversy of Laminin is debated between science and religion. Those who believe in Christianity associates the cross-like shape of Laminin with Jesus, while scientists say it has nothing to do with God, it’s just a practical structure. (Show the cross-like structure of Laminin)

The Philippines is a Catholic nation with millions of Christ-followers, and when an American company – Laminine Supplement came in, Pinoys were quick to tie the knot with this ‘miracle in a capsule’ as divine.

Talking to the company that owns Laminine, LifePharm said it's purely coincidental; they did not intend to associate Laminin with Laminine as something to do with Jesus. This food supplement did come from the word ‘Laminin’ because it is also a protein that signals cells to activate stem cells in the body and the number ‘nine’ which is the ninth day when this special protein is taken from the albumin of a fertilized avian egg (FAEE).

Nonetheless, both Laminin and Laminine are important to the body. It offers many benefits for the busy Filipino that includes being able to handle stress better, better skin, boosts mental health, and even as an anti-aging supplement.

One thing that makes it stand out is its clinical study claims. According to Lucy So, team leader of Althea Distributor, one of LifePharm’s global IBO-Distributors, customers claim it helped them with various illness from kidney, liver, bone, diabetes, and cancer problems. While Laminine is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. The recovery from illness vary depending on the facts and circumstances of each person.

We live in a stressful environment, and with traffic and the difficulty of moving around Metro Manila, the added pressure from work is not healthy. We do need food supplements like Laminine, whether or not it has something to do with Laminin or not.

Laminine is a 100% natural food supplement made of Fertilized Avian Egg Extract (FAEE). It contains OPT9 Blend formula with an active ingredient Fibroblast Growth Factor(FGF2) that repairs damaged or aging cells. Each capsule has 22 amino acids+ and important vitamins and trace minerals.

The Duterte government has given hope to millions of Filipinos for a better Philippines but many feels otherwise. Although the President recognizes the sovereignty of God, the Filipinos, particularly the youth continues to be lost with negative online influences, something must be done.

A few Christian groups have taken arms to fight the real enemy towards a progressive Philippines. One of them is John15.Rocks. Organized by volunteers, John15.Rocks is a website established in March 2017.

It was a burden of 20 years ago, to network what different Christian Charity organizations can do to help those in need. John15.Rocks sees the potential of social media to help the youths who are slowly being imprisoned by their addiction online.
A 12-year old can have easy access to pornography just by playing an online game. Internet also is a venue for cyberbullying, activities for sexual meet-ups that make them open to HIV infections, social media challenges that leads to suicide, and of course violence and immorality.

Christian groups should come together to influence the Filipino youth by exposing them to the right moral values. Albert Jimenez of John15.rocks relates the problem to statistics that show millennials and generation Z spending an average of 2 to 6 hours in social media each day. It practically takes over their social life, replacing their smartphones as best friend. “If we cannot directly influence our children with values formation, we can meet them halfway in the internet and allow them to see that they have a better choice,” says Albert.

The Philippines is a Catholic nation, and with many Judeo-Christians who wants to spread love, many Filipino youth do not know where or who to connect with. This is how John15.Rocks can help.

As their tagline says, “Usap tayo,” John15.Rocks hopes to reach both parents and children and network them to organizations that offers counseling and support groups for those who have family problems. It extends to those who have issues with It extends to those who have issues with homosexuality and HIV, drugs and substance abuse, bullying, relationship problems, and those struggling with teenage parenting.

“Christians and charity groups should come together online to do something cohesive” Albert said. He also clarifies that this is not about religion - “It’s not religion, it’s a relationship with the one true God that everyone needs.” He said that if a person believes that there is a creator, help can start from there. “Our mandate is to love one another, as Jesus did,” he further added.

John15.Rocks online campaigns for free counseling (Counseling Referral Program), HIV/AIDS awareness, equipping parents online, and publishing a youth-inspired pictographic devotional, Daily Tinapay.

The name John15.Rocks was inspired by what Jesus said, “This is My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you” in John 15:12.

Natural is still best to de-stress your tress

Striking a life balance is no easy task to do. It requires hard work and dedication which sometimes can be strenuous to achieve. Can you imagine how overtaxing it is to juggle between your career andproviding for your loved ones?


Studies have shown that stress is commonly caused by interrelationships, such as having to deal with work issues and family-related complications. If left unresolved over time, it could lead to immune deficiency, which later on, might cause other parts of our body to show signs of disruption like hair loss.


Many of us could attest to that. It’s like always autumnal equinox whenever we experience chronic hair fall, most especially at the prime of stress. At its peak, our white blood cells attack no less than the follicles, thus causing alopecia. What’s more, anxiety could drive your mane into a prolonged resting phase, which is called telogen effluvium.


Stress experienced by the body or beyond our coping resources could trigger hair loss symptoms, which, if not addressed properly, could result to early baldness. Worried about this? Fret no more. You can beat it simply by relaxing, eating or flexing some muscles.


Never underestimate the power of sleep. If you feel that you are over your head in dealing with anxieties, choose to rest it off for a while and recharge.


Let’s get physical to de-stress. It helps release endorphins, or what is known as the happy hormones, that can be beneficial in relieving the tension.


How about rewarding yourself?

Read more on http://www.novuhair.com/2017/07/novuhair-natures-answer-to-hair-loss-supports-west-side-story-musical-at-the-theatre-solaire/




Eat more fruits and veggies. Having these as a staple in your diet will bolster your immunity from disease, which in turn, knock out stress. We can all benefit from the vitamins and minerals of the healthy food we consume.


It’s best to complement these simple regimens with a topical solution that’s safe to keep your crowning glory at its robust state. NOVUHAIR, nature's answer to hair loss, is made up of 19 natural ingredients that work in synergy to help remedy stress-related hair loss and promote healthy tress and scalp.


The challenge in preventing these mane problems is to keep your locks healthy with proper care and let it grow naturally sans subjecting your hair to temporary relief with the use of harmful chemicals. Go natural.


NOVUHAIR contains natural extracts, herbal oils and essences, such as lavender that is also known to relieve stress. It also has a scent that leaves a calming effect.


NOVUHAIR is available at Mercury Drug and other leading drugstores nationwide. For more information visit www.novuhair.com, like the brand’s official Facebook Page, Novuhair Official, and follow on Twitter at @NovuhairNatural. You

Herbalife Nutrition Study Reveals Alarming Lack of Nutrition, Hydration and Exercise Among Adults

Herbalife, a global nutrition company, has released the findings from its Asia Pacific Balanced Nutrition Survey1, which focuses on shedding light on nutrition and health habits, behaviors and attitudes of consumers aged 18 and above. The survey is an element of the seventh Herbalife Asia Pacific Wellness Tour, seeking to inspire consumers to adopt balanced nutrition habits and reinforce its impact to long-term health and wellbeing. According to survey findings, 8 in 10 (78%) of Filipino consumers are eating less than half of the daily recommended serving of fruits and vegetables, 4 in 10 (41%) do not drink enough water, and more than half (59%) do not get enough exercise.

While 6 in 10 (60%) of consumers in the Philippines believe that ensuring their body gets the sufficient nutrients to function optimally was the greatest motivator to adopting a balanced diet, modern, fast-paced lifestyles make it increasingly challenging to incorporate healthy nutrition habits into daily lives.

The study revealed that 6 in 10 (57%) respondents in the Philippines found having a daily balanced nutrition approach to be challenging, citing the lack of time, money, and motivation to be the top three obstacles preventing them from having a healthier lifestyle.

Additionally, the Philippines survey findings revealed the following:
• 8 in 10 (78%) consumers claimed to consume 0 to 2 servings of fruits and vegetables per day, below the recommended 5 servings per day
• 4 in 10 (41%) consume less than the recommended 8 glasses of water/fluids per day
• Over half (59%) achieve less than 1 hour of physical activity per day, with 10% having no physical activity at all
• The top 3 motivations to adopting balanced nutrition are sufficient nutrients to function optimally (60%), to prevent health related problems and complications (51%) and to maintain ideal body weight to prevent obesity-related health problems (39%)
• The top 3 obstacles to a daily nutrition approach are lack of time (57%), lack of money (53%), and lack of motivation (45%).
• To help consumers improve their nutrition habits:
o 7 in 10 (67%) of respondents feel that having an easier access to healthier food choices would help them adopt a balanced nutrition approach.
o 4 in 10 (37%) of respondents look for like-minded people to make healthier food choices together
o 4 in 10 (42%) of respondents seek expert advice for a personalized nutrition plan

When asked about what would help them achieve their balanced nutrition and exercise goals, most of the respondents agreed that balanced nutrition and community support approach, such as that exhibited at Herbalife Independent Nutrition Clubs, would improve personal well-being in the long run.

“As a global nutrition company, Herbalife Nutrition is committed to helping consumers adopt balanced nutrition habits, so that they can have a positive impact on their lives in the long run,” said Mr. Rosalio Valenzuela, general manager of Herbalife Philippines.

1Herbalife’s Asia Pacific Balanced Nutrition Survey was conducted in March 2017 with 500 respondents aged 18 years of age in the Philippines.

Car Awards Group Inc. Holds First-ever Dealer Talks at Honda Cars Manila Bay

It’s halfway through 2017 and a lot of accomplishments have been made that are yet to be celebrated and acknowledged – it is a year worth looking forward to with many more new cars, new trucks, new achievements and new goals still waiting to unfold in the automotive industry.
The Car Awards Group, Inc. (CAGI), the organizers of the annual Car of the Year Philippines (COTY-P) and Truck of the Year Philippines (TOTY-P) and now the Motorcycle of the Year Philippines (MOTY-P), just spiced things up for the next six months by holding their first-ever Dealer Talks at Honda Cars Manila Bay – Honda Cars Makati, Inc.’s (HCMI) newest dealership in the Metro under AC Automotive – last June 24, 2017. The said “Dealer Talks”, which served as a prelude to a series of activities set again this July is a 3-hour conference wherein sales representatives of the winning vehicles get to know how, why, and what made their products achieve the prestigious COTY and TOTY awards. This aspires to further help enhance the image of the winning vehicles and strengthen the over-all value of the brand in the eyes of the consumers.

Furthermore, the said activity aims to deliver the message that these citations are not just any ordinary accolades bestowed on just any other ordinary product as the group remains the only organization in the country that conducts these instrumented tests to determine the best vehicles in the country.

“There is a story behind every crown and this is our way of telling it to the public,” said CAGI President Ronald de los Reyes.

“We’ve been awarding vehicles since 2004 and we just believed that our unique process needed to be further disseminated through these talks,” he added.

The CAGI head honcho led the endeavor, followed by more thorough and specialized discussions from CAGI Technical Director Niky Tamayo and KPMG R.G. Manabat and Co. Risk Consulting Supervisor Christian Eamilio. Meantime, supporter Petron Corporation’s Field Technical Services Engineer Mike Cerda shared some knowledge of their own product while Carmudi Philippines, the group’s proud partner for the past three years took part through their newest publication, the Carmudi Magazine.

The Honda Civic 1.5 RS Turbo won last year’s Car of the Year Award, and with Honda Cars Makati, Inc.’s continuous mission of providing customer satisfaction through quality products and excellent service, the Honda community is, yet again, set on showcasing its top of the line vehicles. With dedication and confidence, 2017 will hopefully be another year where a Honda vehicle will bring home the Car of the Year – Philippines Award.  Honda Cars Makati Inc., with branches in Makati (Magallanes and Greenbelt), Pasig, Alabang, Shaw, Global City, and Manila Bay is a member of AC Automotive along with Honda Cars Cebu, Inc., Isuzu Automotive Dealership Inc., Isuzu Cebu Inc., Iconic Dealership, Inc., and KTM Philippines.

The event also will not be possible without its sponsors Petron Blaze, KPMG and Carmudi.

CAGI, a non-profit entity composed of motoring journalists has been recognizing outstanding vehicles since 2004. This group ensures that the vehicles undergo extensive qualitative and quantitative testing before they award the best vehicle. The group is also here to help heighten consumer awareness about finding the best vehicles available by making informed choices.


The said “Dealer Talks” also serves as a preamble to the group’s annual test fest in September and October with the culminating  activity—the awards night set in November this year.
