Authentic Organique Acai Premium Blend in Watsons

Friday, March 11, 2016

     Early last year, I decided to give Organique Acai Premium Blend a shot. I've been seeing this purple bottle drink when I watch news early in the morning. By the way, Acai Berry is pronounced as ah-sah-ee. I've shared my review HERE in case you have not read it yet and gave a long detailed post about this health juice dubbed as the healthy purple. Why healthy purple you may ask? Well, after consulting to google, I've found out that purple-colored fruits and vegetables have higher antioxidant content. So this drink will cleanse your system and beyond!

     And because Organique Acai Premium Blend is making a name in the health industry, some are claiming that they are the original and imitating this product. They say that imitation is the best form of flattery. But when it comes to health, we only want the best for ourselves and our family. Organique Acai Premium blend has been in the global market since 2009. And through the years, several products has imitated Organique Acai and how it looks in efforts to lure the unknowing customer to buying substandard acai berry products. Know more details about Organique Acai Premium Blend below :)

Product Review: Organique Acai Juice

Monday, September 07, 2015

     Hi dearies! Do you consider taking natural/organic supplements as part of your everyday vitamins and nutrients essentials? I’m sure you’re aware that this food supplement comes in many forms. I’ve tried different kinds of food supplements in the past that’s why I know there’s no harm in trying. This so-called food supplements are not medicines that after taking for a month will heal your high blood pressure, diabetes, and the like. These food supplements have the “no approved therapeutic claim” on their labels because simply it’s a food supplement that will nourish the body and in my opinion, prevents the body from further decay. Meaning once you drink them, they will boost your body, give you energy, cleanse your system, flush all the toxins, and eventually will help you prevent those nasty chronic illnesses and the big C.

     Before I received a bottle of this purple drink, I already have an idea what this food supplement can do to our body. I’ve seen this last year on grocery shelves and drugstores where I buy maintenance medicine for my father. We wanted to try this before but he’s drinking a food supplement from another brand until we forgot that Organique Acai Juice was on my father’s food supplements wish list to try. I’m one happy kid because our friends from Organique Acai sent me a bottle of the juice supplement that contains powerful anti-oxidant. By the way, Acai Berry is pronounced as ah-sah-ee. More information about the product and my experience after taking it for a month below.  

Product Review: Organique Acai Juice

What I like:
  • The taste- doesn't have a weird or funky taste. It's like I'm drinking grapes that are concentrated. It's a bit sour but tolerable.
  • The packaging is simple, it's in a sturdy bottle and the label is complete with product information.
  • The scent is like that of red wine but tolerable. I have a sensitive nose and drinking food supplements with weird smell makes me nauseous. I never experienced that while drinking this.
  • No weird feeling or an upset stomach after drinking one shot of this purple juice first thing in the morning. I drink one or two shots of this upon waking up.
  • I feel a bit full after taking this before breakfast.
  • No breakouts, irritations or whatsoever in my skin. I also noticed that during the time I'm drinking this juice, no new zits or pimples popping out my forehead and chin.

  • I noticed less hair fall. I've been battling with hair fall these past few months after my father's hospitalization. I can say that my hair fall is stress related. Last month, I noticed that I have less hair fall compared to the month that I'm not drinking this. I still use the same hair care products before and while I was drinking the juice.

What I don't like:
  • The price- can be a bit expensive for budget-conscious individuals.
  • Not easily accessible for those who live in the provinces.

Will I repurchase? Yes!

Recommendation:
     I give this a 4.5/5 rating. There are 39 reasons to drink this Organique Acai juice and I think in the long run I will definitely see those results. If I'm diabetic, have cholesterol, suffering from Asthma, and if I have other diseases, the results will be verified by a monthly laboratory. I highly recommend this product if you're looking for a food supplement and would like to cleanse your body from toxins.

Product Review: Rosy Peel

Monday, August 31, 2015

     Hi dearies! Last month, I received a skin supplement from Growrich-Great Well Pharma and it's in pill form. Rosy Peel Capsule is not new to me because I've seen it on Mercury Drugstore's shelves every time I buy my father's maintenance medicine. Yes, I'm intrigued because simply put it is a skincare supplement. I'm preventing myself from feeding my curiosity at that time that's why I did not bother to buy a pill or two because I don't want to ingest something that I have no idea with.

     I did a little research and found different features and reviews on Rosy Peel from beauty bloggers here in the Philippines. Most of them said that it made their skin glow and they look less haggard during the time they were taking this supplement. This product is a combination of young green strawberries, guava, bignay, and kamias. These four fruits are known to be a strong antioxidant, gives anti-aging action on the skin, prevents and repair cell damage, reduce risks of disease linked to aging, an antibacterial remedy, and other benefits not only make the skin beautiful from the outside but also to protect the body from free-radicals. See my experience after taking Rosy Peel capsule for two weeks below and more information about the product :)

Rosy Peel Herbal Dietary Supplement Capsule

Through short fermentation mode, the essential nutrients and phytochemicals contained in the unique combination of these fruit saps were made to work in synergy, unleashing its great potential in keeping the skin healthy and enhancing the skin’s capability for refermation. Rosy Peel 500mg was encapsulated for ease and convenience of intake for a heathier and rosier you.

Rosy Peel is a...
  • Rich source of Vitamin C and natural antioxidants that benefit the skin.
  • Vitamin C or Ascorbic Acid is a water-soluble and anti-oxidant vitamin that takes part in collagen formation to accelerate wound healing. This property may be responsible in controlling deeper crater formation (pockmarks) from pimple manipulation.
  • According to studies, oral intake of Vitamin C in combination with Vitamin E (present in Guava) is also effective in obtaining UV protection by dietary means.
  • Vitamin C and Vitamin E have been proven to improve skin appearance and decrease skin wrinkling, thus reducing skin aging.
  • This vitamin may also prevent skin dryness and roughness, leaving the skin soft, rosy, and healthy.

What I like:

  • It's easy on the pocket especially for the budget-conscious individual because it can be bought per piece. 

What I don't like:
  • None so far.

Will I purchase? Yes, it's in the realm of possibility. 

Recommendation:
     I give this product a 4.5/5 rating. I can say that Rosy Peel works like your regular vitamin C but has a more anti-oxidant effect because of the ingredients. It also has vitamin E from Guava, another anti-oxidant that when taken regularly gives glow and suppleness of the skin. I recommend this product if you like to take vitamin C and vitamin E coming from natural sources like strawberries, guava, bignay, and kamias. I know some are afraid of taking a synthetic form of food supplement so this one is for you.

      I can say that this herbal supplement is promising and when taken religiously, it can make the skin bright, less dry, and supple. It may not give a drastic change in terms of skin lightening, but it can make the skin look younger and fresher. Less haggard-looking and more on the anti-aging department.

Product Review: MET Tathione Glutathione Supplement

Wednesday, April 29, 2015

     Ever wonder why there are light and fair-skinned individuals who still consider taking glutathione as one of their daily supplements? I'm not sure if you will agree with me but not all 'mapuputi' have clear, flawless, porcelain, and glowing skin. Some women have pale white skin that is not flattering to look at. It's like they look 'sick' because their skin is pale and paperwhite. If you're to going to choose, do you like pale white skin or glowing white skin from within? Let's change your idea of whitening with the new Met Tathione Reduced Glutathione with Algatrium Dietary Supplement.

     I presume all of you already know what glutathione is. It is considered as a food supplement here in our country while in Japan and other countries, it is a medicine that can cure serious illnesses. Our body is producing glutathione naturally but as we age, the production of glutathione slows down that's why our immune system weakens. Glutathione is called the master anti-oxidant as it protects our body from free radicals. The whitening effect is the known side effect of glutathione :) I learned so many things about glutathione during our meeting with Dra. Cecille- Met's resident doctor. To know more about the new Met Tathione and why despite the price, I will still highly recommend it to everyone who wants to experience whitening at its finest :) More information after the jump!

Product Review: MET Tathione Glutathione Supplement
     
Met Tathione is a well-known brand of glutathione here in the Philippines. I can say they're one of the pioneer brands that's been commercially sold in pharmacies, drugstores, and beauty stores nationwide. When you say glutathione, the first brand that will come to your mind is MET, right? I've known this brand years ago but wasn't able to try it since I've read so-so reviews about the effects. 

     My cousin has tried Met Tathione years ago with the first formulation and swears with the effects on her body as a whole, she took this not only to whiten skin but to strengthen her immune system. Even though Met Tathione had received some negative reviews in the past, I still believe that premium brands will give great results. Always remember that results vary from one individual to another, the effect of whitening may be fast or slow depending on the individual's body. If you smoke, drink, and have more toxins in the body from environmental pollution, chances are there will be a slower effect since the glutathione will protect you first from those free-radicals then with continued use of glutathione let's say for two more or more, the whitening effect will be seen slowly but surely.

Product Review: MET Tathione Glutathione Supplement
     
Met is a brand under Ivi Ryo Corporation. It is the pioneering brand of glutathione that brings you the latest in whitening: Algatrium. This product innovation makes Met Tathione three times more effective than the previous formulation in bringing out that radiant glow in your skin. 

     It works from the inside out, giving you evenly toned and lighter, glowing skin in as little as two weeks. One capsule contains a potent formula of reduced glutathione and an imported new antioxidant called Algatrium. 

These are the benefits you can get from taking Met Tathione on a daily basis:
  • MET helps strengthen the immune system, removes toxins from the liver, boosts sexual potency, and protects the body from free radical damage.
  • Reduced glutathione is the main ingredient in Met Tathione products. It is the safe and most potent form of glutathione that we need in our bodies.
  • Glutathione is often referred to as the master antioxidant. It has many benefits that prevent oxidative stress in cells. 
  • The Met glow is not just from the skin but also from the overall benefit of glutathione throughout the body. 
  • Glutathione (Met Tathione) keeps the body healthy. Can prevent cancer, Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis in the long run. This product can help lessen the impact of age-related degenerative disease in the body.
  • White glowing skin from inside and out!

Product Review: MET Tathione Glutathione Supplement
     
After 1 month of taking Met Tathione, my skin is visibly glowing even though I only have 3-4 hours of sleep. The photo below was taken around 5 p.m. The lighting wasn't able to show how fair my skin is but there's a pinkish glow in my arms. NO FILTER!

Product Review: MET Tathione Glutathione Supplement

What I like: 
  • Met Tathione glutathione is FDA approved. 
  • The packaging is so classy. I like that it is repackaged in a minimalist design. The design of the box and bottle packaging exudes what high-quality Japan-made products look like. The box is sealed with plastic and the bottle opening is well-sealed also. 
  • The new Met Tathione is also available in two-capsule sachets. Great for trips. No need to worry about the extra bottle in your baggage.
  • The new Met Tathione is in liquid soft gel capsule form- this kind of capsule is easily absorbed by the body, unlike the regular capsule.
  • This liquid soft gel capsule doesn't have a funky or weird smell. 
  • The new Met Tathione is now combined with Algatrium, a component that can triple the glutathione production in the body. It is one of the most potent boosters available in the market today. Algatrium is a patented antioxidant found only in Met, first in the country making Met three times more effective!
  • I did not complain of discomforts like vomiting, headache, nausea, breakouts, or whatsoever while taking this supplement.
  • No need to take a separate Vitamin C to boost the glutathione. Algatrium is more potent and will make absorption faster. So if you're acidic, this glutathione brand is for you. No need to worry about Vitamin C and the absorption of glutathione in your body.
  • Met Tathione glutathione made my skin glow. There are times that I only have 2-3 hours of sleep at night but 
  • This brand made me feel sleepy which is good for me because I have a hard time falling asleep at night. 
  • I always wake up feeling refreshed and energized. 
  • My skin looks luminous, especially in daylight. 
  • Made my skin less oily. 
  • Made my skin supple and plump. 
  • It lessened cystic pimples popping around my chin which I experience every month. 
  • No weight gain, bloating, or unruly cravings. I also look after what I eat so I guess the worry of gaining weight depends on the individual. I also exercise before I sleep.
  • I have a small scratch on my knee became a scar. Taking Met Tathione plus applying my favorite whitening lotion lightened the scar a bit but I can say taking the glutathione made the skin renewal faster than usual. Since I have fair skin, the scar is noticeable but after taking Met Tathione, the dark scar became less visible.
  • Batch, manufacturing, and expiry date printed on the package. 
  • Easily accessible.

What I don't like:
  • The price is steep for budget-conscious individuals and those with a tight budget. 

Will I purchase? Yes! 

Recommendation:
     I give this a 4.75/5 rating. I'm happy with the results that I've experienced with Met Tathione after taking it for a full month. I take the capsules in two divided doses because according to Dra. Cecille, absorption of glutathione is better in divided doses than popping it all at once. No need to take Vitamin C because Algatrium will boost the absorption of glutathione in the body faster. Fewer pills to pop because of that too. 

     This post is getting lengthy already and I have more things to share. Comment all your questions and I'll base my answers according to what Dra. Cecille explained to us :) I'm relieved that there will be professional advice or backup for those who want to take glutathione but are afraid of ingesting food supplements/medicine inside their body. 

Good Times!~

Product Review: Cosmo Cee Vitamin C

Monday, March 16, 2015

     I rarely get coughs, colds, and flu. I guess it's because I take vitamin c every day. I take around 500- 1,000 mg of vitamin c alongside with the fruits and vegetables that I eat. There are so many kinds of vitamin c today and sodium ascorbate is gaining popularity because they dubbed it as the "non-acidic" vitamin c. 

     According to vitaminfoundation.org- Sodium ascorbate is a form of vitamin C that has been bound to the mineral salt sodium. Like vitamin C, the basic properties and health benefits of sodium ascorbate are virtually identical with ascorbic acid, but the mineral salt buffers thus lower the acidity of ascorbic acid. The buffered sodium ascorbate may enter the bloodstream more slowly than ascorbic acid when taken orally. So those who are veering away from ascorbic acid because it causes stomach pain, sodium ascorbate is what you need if you think you need an added boost in your vitamin c intake. I've known COSMO Cee for more than a year now and 3 months ago I decided to take this brand because I'm acidic.

Product Review: Mischka Derma Secret Coffee Exfoliating Body Scrub

Monday, January 12, 2015

    Last December, I received a bunch of skin care products from Mischka Derma Secret. The loot includes soaps, body lotion, body scrub and a lip plumping serum. I'm so giddy to try them all but my eyes were glued on their coffee exfoliating body scrub. I've gained weight these past few months and some are water weight because of water retention from eating salty foods. I'm not sure if using coffee scrub will make those excess water disappear but from what I've read, coffee scrubs can help in improving the appearance of cellulites and loosen up excess fluid so the appearance of the skin will look more toned and smooth.

     I've been using the product for two weeks now, twice a week to be exact. Yes, I've seen positive results but not on the cellulites/fat per se. To know more about the product click CONTINUE READING and see if it's a yay or a nay!

Product Review: KB Collagen Supplement

Tuesday, September 23, 2014

     Aside from skin whitening pills, anti-aging supplements are becoming more and more popular here in our country. In search for the so-called fountain of youth, women ages 30 years old and above have been resorting to skin care products that nourishes the aging skin from the outside. Even though anti-aging pills are popular nowadays, some are still afraid of ingesting what they consider foreign inside their body. 

     Collagen is one of the most popular anti-aging supplement in the world today. According to news-medical.net,

Collagen helps to give strength to various structures of the body and also protects structures like the skin by preventing absorption and spreading of pathogenic substances, environmental toxins, micro - organisms and cancerous cells. Collagen protein is the cement that holds everything together. Collagen is the major component of the skin, hair, and nails.
With age, collagen production slows and the cells structures weaken. The skin gets thinner and is easier to damage, hair gets lifeless, skin sags and wrinkles, tendons and ligaments become less elastic, joints get stiff etc.

     So in order for aging skin to maintain its moisture and avoid shrinkage and wrinkles, it becomes necessary to look for substitute of self-generated collagen found in supplements that generally comes from animal tendons and deep sea fish. I may not be able to explain everything about collagen because one post will not be enough. To make a long introduction short, our friends from Yumei-mise, the makers of KB Skin Whitening Line of products sent me their KB Collagen Food Supplement for a review. Here's my honest to goodness review about the product, click CONTINUE READING to know more information.

Product Review: Mischka Derma Secret Green Papaya Body Scrub

Sunday, February 16, 2014

     Hellos! How's your Valentine's Day celebration? I hope ya'll had a blast. My apologies for updating this blog just now. I had a very wonderful week with my family and friends and also received good news from brands that I never thought will become part of this blog. Thank you very much for all the support dearies, without you all the blessings will not be possible. March will be an exciting month for my dear readers. There's a lot of giveaways from my lovely sponsors so keep your eyes glued!

     Let's start the week right with another review :) Summer is fast approaching and this season is one of the worst for me when it comes to taking care of my skin. I have a hate relationship with summer. My skin starts to react badly when the temperature rises. Breakouts here and there and my body starts to sweat a lot! I hate the icky feeling when I sweat a lot. That's why I always make sure to add a product or two to my skin care essentials for that extra squeaky clean feel. This is also the time that I usually skip or apply light lotions to avoid the greasy and heavy feeling on my body. Thanks to body scrubs because some of them doubles as moisturizers and polishes the body from dead skin cells accumulated by the skin from dust and other forms of pollution. I already have my favorite body scrubs but that doesn't stop me from discovering new brands and variants to try. Thank you Mischka Derma Secret for sending your body scrub. The moment I opened the tub, I sensed that the product is very promising. When I scooped a dollop of this scrub in my hand and spread it gently, I said to myself that this can pass as a dupe to my favorite Asian Secrets Lulur Scrub. Excited to see how this scrub has fared with my skin? Click CONTINUE READING to find out!

Product Review: Myra E 400 IU Capsule d-Alpha Tocopherol (Vitamin E)

Thursday, December 12, 2013

     Hi dearies! My apologies for another MIA, I know I've got a lot of things missed these past few weeks and backlogs start to pile up again. I want to go back to regular programming but I'm not sure if I'll be able to post regularly these coming weeks. Please bear with me and I hope you'll still continue reading my posts :)

     So to start, here's a review of another health supplement that I'm sure everyone knows. Myra E capsule is one of the most well-known brand of Vitamin E in the market today. I've known this brand since I was in high school. I can still remember my mom used to take this vitamin every night and she said that it's a skin vitamin. I have a simple question to ask: do you consider taking vitamin supplements for the skin even if you're taking care of your skin from the outside? If your answer is yes, then you should consider taking Myra-E. I was taking this vitamin on and off ten years ago to be exact. I'm not clearly sure of the effects of this vitamin on my skin before because I don't document it at all. I just noticed the blooming effect when I religiously took this every night a month ago. If you can still remember my post, this bottle of Myra E was included in the Unilab loot bag that I won from a giveaway. I was very excited when the package arrived and rekindled my love with vitamin E. My ob-gyne also advised me to take this vitamin  together with folic acid to ensure higher percentage of healthy pregnancy. So without a doubt, I took Myra E every night and saw a big difference on my skin. It's also a anti-oxidant for the body that will repair damage cells. So here's my honest to goodness review of Myra E 400 IU capsule, click CONTINUE READING if it's a nay or a yay!

Myra E 400 IU Capsule d-Alpha Tocopherol (Vitamin E)
d-alpha-tocopherol (Myra E 400) is an oblong-shaped, orange-colored softgel capsule with “Myra E 400”.

3. What is the effect of Myra E 400? In how many days will I see any results or changes?
Myra E 400 contains Vitamin E, an antioxidant, which protects our cells from damage by harmful chemicals called free radicals. Thus, it is difficult to say when one will see any changes because most of the effect will be “inside”.
4. Is it true that Vitamin E (such as Myra E 400) can cause tuberculosis when used by smokers?

The amount of Vitamin E found in the normal diet (usually found in nuts, oil seeds, legumes, grains, and vegetable oils) and in pre- and postnatal multivitamins (which are specifically formulated for pregnant and breastfeeding women) is generally safe. Myra E 400 is not intended for pregnant and breastfeeding women as it has a relatively higher amount of Vitamin E than what is recommended during pregnancy and lactation.*
