Get radiantly beautiful skin for less than P100!

I discovered Nutrawell Collagen (exclusive to Generika Drugstore) a year ago at its media launch, and I can say that it's the only collagen in powder form that I can tolerate. (Yup, I'm sensitive to the milky-fishy smell of most collagen supplements since I don't like milk to begin with.)

I've finished more than one box before, and I've noticed more supple skin and less flakiness elsewhere (since the skin on my body is dry, while my face is oily). Everyone deserves to have radiantly beautiful skin, and Generika Drugstore offers this safe and effective over-the-counter nutraceutical that helps repair and protect the skin. I won't call it affordable at P95/sachet per day, but if you want to invest on your skin, you have to pay the price. (But then, this is the most affordable collagen nutraceutical in the market.)
 

Nutrawell Collagen with Astaxanthin and Hyaluronic Acid is an organic food supplement that's certified by the Japanese Agricultural Standard (JAS). You can take it on its own or with your favorite drink.

 

This product works from within to nurture and strengthen the skin.

• 5000mg of marine collagen rejuvenates skin firmness and radiance
• 60mg of hyaluronic acid that prevents skin dryness, osteoarthritis, cataracts, and even infections
• 70ug of astaxanthin helps protect the skin from UV damage. Astaxanthin also promotes eye health, aids in preventing cancer, and may even improve cardiovascular health by possibly lowering down triglycerides and raise good cholesterol.
• Elastin helps with skin elasticity
• L-Cystein can lighten complexion
• Biotin can ease eczema and dermatitis while boosting skin, nail, and hair health
• Vitamin C is a potent anti-oxidant that keeps the heart healthy, strengthens tissues, and helps with the body's ability to produce and repair collagen

Taking Nutrawell Collagen everyday will help boost your wellness and restore your youthful radiance from within. Combined with a balanced diet, regular exercise, proper rest, and stress management, Nutrawell Collagen will surely revitalize you! 💖

Stay Healthy All Summer with Generika Drugstore!

Generika Drugstore sent me a thoughtful present yesterday - gifts that can protect me and my loved ones from the harmful effects of the excessive heat. I almost expected to see sunblock inside, but they've taken skincare and wellness to a whole new level. 👍

Let's reveal what's inside! 🌞

Keep your summer fun by staying healthy. Whether it's exploring the great outdoors or hitting the beach this season, it's absolutely important we take extra precautions while spending time under the sun. (Because SPF is already a must no matter what season it is!) 

Here are simple reminders to remember so you can protect yourself and your loved ones from the harmful effects of the summer season's excessive heat.

#1 The sun isn't always your friend.

While the heat starts to rise at about 9AM in the morning, the temperature is at its peak between 11AM to 3PM every day. It's best to stay indoors during this time to avoid the sun's harmful UV rays and overheating. But if you absolutely need to go out, make sure to wear loose breathable clothing and apply at least SPF 15 sunscreen to exposed parts of your body. A hat and sunglasses are a must too, as intense amounts of sunlight are harmful to your eyes.

I know that for a fact! My work schedule is moved to 11AM, and my commute has instantly turned me a shade darker after just a couple of days. -_- I used to just use an umbrella because I hate the stickiness of sunscreen, but now I always slather some on before heading out. (I'm currently using Fairywhite BB Lotion.) You can also supplement your skincare by adding Nutrawell Collagen with Astaxanthin and Hyaluronic Acid (P95/sachet) to your regimen. Its key component, Astaxanthin, works as an "internal sunscreen" and helps safeguard the skin from harmful UV rays.

Also, Generika Drugstore has their own brand of face masks! The Fair 'n' Clear Face Masks (P50 each) come in 2 variants: Whitening and Hydrating and Anti-Wrinkle.

#2 Keep cool.

The easiest way to keep cool all day is to stay hydrated. Cold water and iced (but diluted) fruit juice is best. Any drink with high amounts of sugar, or those with alcohol and caffeine should be avoided. If you're at home, stay in the coolest part of the house and keep it ventilated. Use shades or light-colored curtains to block the sunlight. And for the really hot moments in the day, don't hesitate to take a cold bath. Make sure to keep a look out for your loved ones who may be unable to cope with the heat.

It's nice to indulge in cool treats, but always be careful where you get them. I've learned it the hard way when I drank shake sold by a sidewalk vendor, only to end up really sick because the water/ice used might have been contaminated. (That happened years ago, but never again will I buy anything like that.) Nutrawell Probiotics can improve your gut health – boosting your immunity and even help prevent common summer ailments such as diarrhea.

#3 Eat healthier.

Higher temperatures are dangerous for those with existing heart conditions. And that's why this season, it's even more important to keep ourselves healthy by eating the right kind of food. This summer, when you're craving for a sweet treat – eat fresh fruit instead. When eating out or in a party, pick salads over other offerings. Just make sure you don't over indulge when putting too much dressing. And above all, add more veggies into your home-cooked meals. All of this will keep you fit, helping you better withstand the summer heat.

For those who want to improve their heart health, they can take Nutrawell Garlic + Hawthorne Berry + Gingko Biloba. This nutraceutical enhances blood circulation throughout the body and increases oxygen utilization in the heart. 

#4 Exercise wisely.

Now is not the right season to do too much cardio all at once. But if you must, do cooler cardio activities like swimming in cold water. It's also best to shorten and divide your workout time, and do them only before or after the day's hottest periods. If you want to take your exercise outside, make sure to pick shady and breezy spots. But for the summer, it is ideal to do your workouts in a properly ventilated and/or air-conditioned indoor gym.

Those seeking overall wellness will love the Actimed Multivitamins + Minerals. With its balanced formulation of vitamins and minerals, it can help the body cope even in stressful conditions.

Nutrawell Collagen (Now Available at Generika Drugstore)

I had a mid-week beauty break when I attended the launch of Nutrawell Collagen at Dusit Thani in Makati last Wednesday. If there's anything I'm passionate about, it's skincare! I'm all for products that will help me combat any signs of aging.

Off-topic trivia: The oily skin I used to curse when I was a teenager now seems to be a friend since I'm 27 and I don't have wrinkles yet. (This is what I think the only "pro" there is when it comes to having oily skin.)

Anyway, today's post will be about a new brand of collagen (health supplement) in the market that is exclusively available at Generika Drugstore: Nutrawell Collagen with Astaxanthin & Hyaluronic Acid Powder Drink. It's made in Japan and is certified as organic under the Japanese Agricultural Standard (JAS), the highest certifying body of Japan.

During the event, photos of Elizabeth Hurley and Robert Downey Jr. were shown to us. They're both 51, but they're the ultimate #AgingGoals. They look so youthful! Of course, it helps because Hollywood stars have all the resources to maintain their beauty. But how about us mortals? :o

Did you know that at the age of 25, the production of collagen in our body starts to decrease gradually?

 

As prevention, we have Nutrawell Collagen! It's an age management dietary supplement that stimulates the skin to look radiant, vibrant, and youthful. It promotes beautiful skin by restoring its moisture, elasticity, and smoothness.

Do you ever envy a baby's skin? It's super soft, right? :D That's because they have an abundance of collagen, and we lose it as we grow and age.

Compared to other collagen products, only Nutrawell Collagen contains Astaxanthin that helps protect the skin from UV rays and skin-damaging free radicals.

Do you like the look of healthy pinkish skin? Astaxanthin is the answer! It's actually a naturally occurring reddish pigment that belongs to a group of chemicals called carotenoids. It's present in certain algae and causes the pinkish color in salmon (my favorite food in the world) and other seafood. (This plate of salmon maki is the only thing I ate during the event's buffet spread. I can ignore red meat and just live on this and I'd be so happy!)

Another tip which I've read from the internet is to drink carrot juice regularly. It's very high in beta carotene as well and could work wonders in giving you a healthier appearance.
 

I've tried a sample of Nutrawell Collagen during the event and it had a mild vanilla flavor. You can take it on its own or mix it with any food and drink. (I'm thinking of blending this into milkshakes!)

Nutrawell Collagen contains...

• 5000mg of marine Collagen* that rejuvenates skin firmness and radiance
• 60mg of Hyaluronic Acid that helps prevent osteoarthritis, cataracts, infections, and skin dryness
• 70ug of Astaxanthin that helps protect the skin from UV damage
• It is a powerful carotenoid anti-oxidant that helps promote eye health. It also aids in preventing cancer. Based on research, Astaxanthin is a potential aid in cardiovascular health by possibly lowering down triglycerides, raising good cholesterol and improving blood flow.
• Elastin that helps the skin remain elastic
• Biotin that boosts skin, nails, and hair health, plus it also helps to ease eczema and dermatitis
• L-Cystein that can lighten one’s complexion
• Vitamin C that is an anti-oxidant which helps the body strengthen its tissues, keeps the heart healthy, and boosts the body’s ability to produce and repair collagen

*5,000mg is the optimal dose of Collagen that the body can absorb. Anything in excess will just be excreted by the body.

The best time to take Nutrawell Collagen is before bedtime, as the body starts to repair itself while at rest or sleeping. (And though unrelated, the best time to take glutathione is right after you wake up, because glutathione levels are lowest and oxidative stress is highest during daytime.) Nutrawell Collagen is recommended for both men and women ages 25 and up.

The barrier I've always had with consistently taking any collagen supplement before is the fishy-vanilla-milky taste that comes with it. I already have problems taking fresh milk alone, because I hate the taste of milk. Nutrawell Collagen tasted surprisingly light so for the first time, I might be able to finish my box by consistently taking it for 2 weeks! ;)
