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. In addition, celery can also helps to regulate and maintain healthy blood pressure.
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.
Thank You.

Answer:
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
Most adults need 7-8 hours a night, and the best bedtime is before 11.00pm. Good quality of sleep (deep sleep) is as important as the quantity for health maintenance.
- Regular physical activity
Moderate exercise at least 3 times a week and minimum 20-30 minutes each time is vital to maintain optimal body function.
- Good and balanced nutrition
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.
- Healthy stress management. Stay away from unhealthy habits such as smoking, alcohol drinking.
Include good quality supplement as part of your healthy lifestyle when necessary. Hereby, we recommend:
1. BRAND'S Essence Of Chicken (BEC)
BRAND's Essence of Chicken is an unique high quality product manufactured by the latest technology under highly hygenic processing conditions. It has been scientifically proven to help increase energy, relieve fatigue and improve mental concentration, and thus is helpful in stress management.

Iron is essential for heamoglobin formation and haemoglobin is important in transporting oxygen throughout the body. In the meantime, BRAND'S Essence of Chicken has been scientifically proven to enhance the absorption of iron in the body and has been proven to improve mental alertness and can boost metabolic rate up to 16%. This product also contains vitamin B complex, including B2, B6, B12 and folic acid, which are required for blood production. Lack of iron or poor blood production may result in legthargy and poor work performance. In all, it helps you to achieve energetic life.
For fit and slender body, we recommend BRAND'S Capsaicin + Green Tea Extract with EOC which 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.
Diet Recommendations for Skin Health:
1. Antioxidants. Compounds such as vitamin C and E, beta-carotene, grape seed extract can help protect skin exposed to pollutants and UV rays, and to improve the skin condition. Consume plenty of bright color fruits and green leafy vegetables. You may like to have BRAND'S GRAPE SEED EXTRACT with EOC if you would like to supplement your diet with antioxidants. 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 and body youthful and healthy.
2. Essential fatty acids like omega 3 and 6. The best dietary sources are fatty fish (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 essential fatty acids. Evening primrose oil and borage oil contain gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an essential fatty acid reputed to strengthen skin cells and boost their moisture content.
3. Drink at least 2-3 litres of quality water every day to keep the skin well hydrated.
4. 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.
5. Do not drink soft drinks or eat sugar, chocolate, potato chips, or other junk foods.
6. Avoid excessive alcohol and caffeine. These substances have a diuretic effect, causing the body and skin cells to lose fluids and essential minerals.
Some tips that may be helpful:
- Avoid using harsh soaps that dry the skin.
- Apply good 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.
- Get sufficient sleep as the skin's cellular repair activity is at its optimum during this resting phase.
- Exercise benefits skin as it boosts circulation and encourages blood flow. Regular exercise will nourish and cleanse your skin from within.
- As much as possible, stay out of the sun. The sun is responsible for most of the damage done to the skin. It causes dryness and even rashes and blisters. Always apply a good sunscreen to all exposed areas of skin if you must be in the sun.
Having a healthy lifestyle and good stress-coping mechanism is essential for our daily living. Health supplements should then be consumed to complement your lifestyle and thus to optmize your general well-being.
Thank You.

Question:
Recently a pharmacist has recommend me to take the EPO + Borage Oil with Essence of Chicken as she notice that I have hair problem. She said that this supplement can improved my harmone and make my hair grow and also can improve my skin problem such as acne. Is it correct? |
| |
Answer:
The product of EPO + Borage Oil with Essence of Chicken is not designed to resolve hair problem but rather to help normalise hormone and thus to helps relieve hormone related problem such as PMS or menopausal symptoms. If the hair problem is induced by hormone imbalance, it could be helpful to have the product.
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 could be triggered by hormonal changes in the body.
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 to inhibit or reduce inflammation. Due to these anti-inflammatory functions, EPO can also 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.
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. Keep the affected area as free of oil as possible.
4. Avoid using makeup. If you must use cosmetic, use only natural, water-based products.
5. Do not squeeze the spots. Do not touch the affected area unless your hands have been thoroughly cleaned.
6. Cleanse your skin properly and if necessary, exfoliate to remove dead skin cells.
7. Avoid stress. Stress can promote hormonal changes and cause flare-ups.
8. Have adequate and good quality of rest.
9. Regular exercise to improve blood circulation to bring out the waste from and deliver nutrients into skin cells.
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, and a daily water consumption of 2 - 3 litres for optimal skin health.

Question:
Can Brands Essence of Chicken be consumed during menstruation? I heard it's not advisable. Is that true? |
| |
Answer:
Blood loss can occurs during menstruation. Excessive and frequent blood loss can lead to depletion of iron stores. Therefore, it is important to constantly replenish the iron in our body by eating iron-rich food such as red meat, liver and green leafy vegetable such as spinach.
It should be fine for a lady to take BRAND'S Essence of Chicken during menstruation. There is no known report of BRAND'S Essence of Chicken promotes heavy or irregular menstruation.
In fact we highly recommend menstruating women to take BRAND'S Essence of Chicken as it has been scientifically proven to stimulate the restoration of blood. It also promote iron absorption and utilisation in the body thus promoting general well-being in a women's health.
BRAND’S Essence of Chicken is 100% natural made from wholesome chicken and contains no fat, no cholesterol, no preservatives, no added msg, no stimulants, no artificial colouring and flavouring. It is also sugar free and low in sodium. It is made from high quality, certified, fresh chickens provided by leading poultry suppliers. The chickens are reared in temperature controlled enclosed farms and subject to very stringent health and safety requirements.
BRAND’S has been trusted for generations. Our history of safety, quality and efficacy has been enjoyed for over 170 years. Hence we are confident of the safety and efficacy of our products.
However, as each individual's body constituent defer; response will also defer from each individuals. Lady may need to take extra caution if she experiences too heavy menstruation. A little bit heavier is fine (to flush out the "expired nutrients"/waste) but she may have to stop taking the product during menstruation if it is too heavy.
How much is too much: If you are soaking through enough sanitary protection products to require changing more than every one or two hours, or having a period that lasts over seven days, you are probably experiencing heavy menstruation.
If the symptoms persist, please get advices from doctor as heavy menstrual bleeding coud be caused by some medical conditions.
Thank You.

Answer:
There are many factors that could have contributed to your tiredness such as stress, hormonal changes and lack of proper nutrition. Tiredness may be also attributed to anemia, low blood pressure or other medical conditions. 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
Most adult need 6-10 hours a night, with the average of 8 hours. Good quality of sleep (deep sleep) is as important as the quantity for health maintenance.
- Regular physical activity
Moderate exercise at least 3 times a week and minimum 20-30 minutes each time is vital to maintain optimal body function.
- Good and balanced nutrition
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. Food that are rich in essential nutrients, such as Iron and Vitamin B 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.
- Healthy stress management. Stay away from unhealthy habits such as smoking, alcohol drinking.
BRAND'S Iron + Vitamin B Complex with Essence of Chicken Product supplies significant amount of iron which is needed to support the blood formation as well as function in transporting oxygen throughout the body. In the meantime, BRAND'S Essence of Chicken has been scientifically proven to enhance the absorption of iron in the body and has been proven to improve mental alertness and can boost metabolic rate up to 16%. This product also contains vitamin B complex, including B2, B6, B12 and folic acid, which are required for blood production. Lack of iron or poor blood production may result in legthargy and poor work performance. In all, it helps you to achieve energetic life.
Some people may experience increased appetite after taking vitamin B complex as B vitamins help improve metabolism. You may take the product aftermeal to avoid the concern of this.
On the concern of weight management:
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 Chilli (Capsaicin) + Green Tea Extract with Essence of Chicken helps in promoting body fat loss. Chilli (Capsaicin) helps in the fat oxidation (burning) while the Green Tea extract helps to increase energy expenditure. In addition, Essence of Chicken is proven to increase metabolic rate by 16%. Thus, it helps 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. It should be taken on regular basis in conjunction of a healthy diet and physical activity for best results
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:
What is the maximum amount of BRAND’S Essence of Chicken I can take daily? |
| |
Answer:
BRAND’S Essence of Chicken is an all-natural food supplement, not a medicine or drug. Therefore there is no ‘maximum’ amount of BRAND’S you can consume each day.
You can consume BRAND’S Essence of Chicken every morning before food. There is no “best" time to consume BRAND’S Essence of Chicken (BEC). Some consumers prefer to drink BEC before they enter into an activity to give them an additional edge in physical energy, mental alertness and concentration. Such as preparing for business meetings and studying for examinations.
We also encourage you and your family members to take BEC daily as it helps you maintain overall good health. It relieves physical and mental fatigue, improves one's memory, and enhances the absorption and utilisation of iron. The benefits do not stop here. Research has also shown that BEC and its component, peptides, activate human immune cells.

For your information, BEC is also sugar-free and low in sodium. The sodium content stated above comes from natural chicken meat which is classified as low according to the American Dietetic Association's classification.

Question:
What is the best time of the day (morning or night) to consume BRAND’S Essence of Chicken For Children? Should it be taken before or after food? If it is taken every day, will this be too ‘heaty’ for the child? |
| |
Answer:
There is no ‘best’ time to consume BRAND’S Essence of Chicken for Children (BFC). It is an all-natural health food supplement and can be taken daily. It's suitable for both boys and girls aged 2-12 years old. BFC, when taken daily, helps to maintain overall good health. It is scientifically proven to increase metabolic rate by up to 16%. It relieves physical and mental fatigue, improves one's memory, enhances the absorption and utilisation of iron.
For your information, BFC is 100% natural and made from wholesome chicken. It contains no preservatives, no added msg, no stimulants, no artificial colouring and flavouring. It is also sugar-free and low in sodium. The sodium content comes from natural chicken meat which is classified as low according to the American Dietetic Association's classification. In fact, canned chicken soup has 3.5 times more sodium than BRAND’S Essence of Chicken for Children.
Different people react differently to BFC depending on their unique body composition and daily activities. Heatiness is normally a result of one's body internal forces - the balance of "yin and yang". If one's body is more towards the "yang" side, the body tends to be more heaty, hence heatiness has nothing to do with consumption of any food or product. Like any health food supplement, we encourage your child to drink lots of water or have a diet of more "ying" or foods that fall under the category of ‘cold’ to balance up.

Question:
Will the benefits of BRAND’S supplements be diminished if I take them before or after drinking coffee or tea? |
| |
Answer:
Some reports have suggested that caffeine may decrease the absorption of certain vitamins and minerals such as calcium and zinc or increase the effect of ingredients such as ginseng. Individuals on certain medications or antibiotics have also been advised to refrain from taking caffeine-containing beverages together with their medications or health supplements. In addition, caffeine is also a diuretic, which means that it tends to increase urine output. Therefore, vitamins and minerals may also get lost without being readily absorbed by the body.
If your consumption of caffeine-containing beverages is limited to 1 - 2 cups a day, there should be no problem taking health supplements together with your beverages.
As a general recommendation, we do advise you to consume caffeine beverages in moderation while taking any health supplements products.

Question:
I have just started to using BRAND’S Chili+ green tea extract. With proper dieting & exercise, how long will it take for the supplements to work and when can I expect to see results? |
| |
Answer:
Thank your for your recent enquiry and support of our BRAND’S Health Supplement range, which scientifically combines natural ingredients for better performance.
BRAND’S Chili + 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, 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, Green Tea extract also helps in suppressing the conversion of excess dietary carbohydrate into sugars which in turn becomes fat.
The recommended dosage is 2 tablets twice daily after meals. We would advise that you take this either after your breakfast or lunch, so as to build up the habit of regular consumption. Please note that green tea contains caffeine, so you may wish to avoid consuming this after dinner. Individuals sensitive to caffeine or those with gastric issues should also exercise moderation.
Since everyone’s body works differently, the effectiveness of the product will vary between individuals – some have seen results in a few weeks while others may take longer. We recommend that you take this product while maintaining a balanced diet in conjunction with regular exercise and rest.

Question:
After reading up about BRAND’S range of health supplements, I’m wondering if I will be consuming too much chicken essence I if take several types of supplements at the same time. Will it be detrimental to my health if I take too much chicken essence? |
| |
Answer:
BRAND’S Essence of Chicken (BEC) is an all-natural health food supplement and not a medicine or drug, there should not be any detrimental effects if you consume it regularly - be it in our bottle form or scientifically combined in our health supplements range. For your information, BEC is 100% natural and made from wholesome chicken. It contains no preservatives, no added msg, no stimulants, no artificial colouring and flavouring. It is also sugar-free and low in sodium.
Currently, two groups of BRAND’S Health Supplements are available.. The first group scientifically combines BRAND’S Essence of Chicken with natural health ingredients. The second range, known as the BRAND’S Sesamin range, comes without BRAND’S Essence of Chicken. Sesamin is an innovative all-natural ingredient that is found within the sesame seed and scientifically proven to have strong antioxidant properties. It encourages healthy liver function, reduces cholesterol and promotes healthy blood vessels.
For the first range, combined with BEC, you can take more than one type at the same time as the formulation is kept at a safe and effective level. However, it is most advisable to take the dosage as directed on the bottle and to consume it based only on your health needs.
As your trusted Health Partner, we recommend that you take BRAND’S Health Supplements in conjunction with a healthy diet, regular exercise and adequate rest.

For better results, we recommend regular consumption of BRAND’S Chili + Green Tea Extract with Essence of Chicken, complemented with regular exercise and a healthy, low-fat diet.
