SPOT The Vitagen Digestive Health On-Wheels Education Truck For More!



How to take care our digestive system? VITAGEN has taken the initiative to share its expertise and knowledge directly with Malaysians with its new Digestive Health On-Wheels education initiative.


The Vitagen Digestive Health On-Wheels education initiative features a truck fitted out with educational information on probiotics – Lactobacillus acidophilus & Lactobacillus paracasei – which are the ‘good’ bacteria’ that provide us with various digestive health benefits when consumed in sufficient amounts.

It will also be accompanied by gastroenterology nurses and nutritionists to provide members of the public with an analysis of their gut health and advice on how to improve it.


At the 30 locations it will go, the public will be able to get their digestive health screenings from nutritionists, receive counselling and stool-test kits from gastroenterology nurses and learn how to stay fit by fitness consultant.

The truck will also showcase the findings of the Pusat Perubatan Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (PPUKM) study as well as have interactive digestive health games, product sampling and products for sale on promotion.


The VITAGEN Digestive Health On-Wheels is the first-of-its-kind mobile digestive health initiative created to educate consumers in a more creative and engaging manner. As the gut health leader in Malaysia, VITAGEN is doing this to create awareness about the importance of probiotics for a healthy gut which is essential for overall health as the recent study by latest findings by PPUKM have confirmed,” said General Manager of VITAGEN Mr. Poh Eng Lip.

With more and more studies identifying the gut as our second brain, it is important for people to realise that the gut is critical to overall wellbeing and knowing how to care for it helps to alleviate many health problems. As the gut health leader in Malaysia, VITAGEN is committed to promoting the importance of a healthy gut,” added Poh.


“A simple way to achieve a healthy gut to boost immunity, mental clarity and even our mood is the regular consumption of probiotics in the form of Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus paracasei.

The PPUKM clinical research – led by Consultant Gastroenterologist, Associate Professor in Medicine, Head, Gastroenterology Unit, Dept of Medicine, Hospital Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, YM Associate Professor Dr. Raja Affendi Raja Ali – has shown that the Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus paracasei probiotic strains in VITAGEN have a positive impact on gut health and immune system as about 70-80% of the immune system is found in the gut.


The study showed that 96% of respondents had improvement in constipation symptoms while 45% of respondents required a shorter toilet time.  
     
It also showed that by consuming the probiotics contained in VITAGEN, the body produces less pro-inflammatory chemicals which reduces inflammation and enhances the immune system and that 73% of respondents with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) benefited from enhanced immunity.

This is because the probiotics help the body to produce less pro-inflammatory chemicals, which reduces inflammation and enhances the immune system.

The billions of live probiotic cultures in VITAGEN are formulated to survive the journey through the gastrointestinal tract to help preserve the balance of good and bad bacteria. Once inside, they help with better digestion and a stronger immune system for a healthier gut, as well as to boost the body’s immunity to fight off diseases.

The immune system is designed to fight invading viruses, bacteria and other microbes while leaving healthy tissues alone and 70 per cent of our immunity defence lies in the gut.

Mental clarity is also affected by gut health as there is an internal complex ecosystem of bacteria located within the body called microbiome that regulate feelings and thought by communicating signals between the digestive tract and brain via the vagus nerve.

Drink VITAGEN every day to provide your body with its daily intake of healthy bacteria. MR and baby MH likes to drink vitagen too! A probiotic beverages that suitable for the family.


Each bottle of VITAGEN is formulated with two strains of live probiotic cultures of Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus paracasei for optimal digestive health.

Numerous on-going studies have shown that the microfauna in the intestines play a major role in affecting our state of mind. So it is also important to keep the bacterial ecosystem in the gut balanced to assist in promoting better mental clarity.

When it comes to feeling good, 95 per cent of Serotonin – the chemical that contributes to emotional health, wellbeing and happiness among other things – is housed in the gut, where the probiotics there act as neurotransmitters to trigger the ‘feel good’ emotions.

“We are looking forward to more findings that further strengthen the understanding that  the gut is critical to overall wellbeing and knowing how to take care of it will help alleviate many health problems. As the gut health leader in Malaysia, VITAGEN will continue to educate and remind everyone to be good to their gut for better quality of life,” said Poh. 


Many interesting Digestive Health activities cater for public such as VITAGEN and PPUKM Research Study Showcase, Digestive health screening and survey conducted by Gastro nurses, Stool Test Kit Distribution, Nutrition and healthy eating advice by nutritionists, Fitness advice by fitness consultant, Interactive Digestive Health Games , Interactive Q&A with consumers, Multimedia Video of VITAGEN and PPUKM Research Results, VITAGEN Less Sugar product sampling and sales.

Dettol Malaysia Personal Wash With 12hour Odour Protection



Hearing mums’ concerns, Dettol, the world’s No. 1 germ protection brand** has relaunched the whole personal wash range of products recently to protect all Malaysian families from 100 types of harmful germs.  

Dettol ‘ProFresh’ is formulated to provide ‘12 hours odour protection’ and to ensure all day freshness, even in Malaysia’s hot and humid weather.  Dettol ‘ProSkin’ provides ‘8 hours moisturising’ to keep the whole family’s skin protected, which is often compromised when exposed to harmful environment, such as strong sun rays or continuous air conditioning.


Launched over 80 years ago, Dettol has been the leader in germ protection and an active partner of all mothers who want to protect their families.  

Having committed to improve the health of families through better hygiene, the brand consistently innovates solutions to fight evolving germs in our environment, thus enhancing the quality and efficacy of its products to safeguard consumers’ wellbeing. 

No wonder it has earned the trust of mothers worldwide to help her family members maintain good hygiene, which is essential for good health.


Particularly in Malaysia, Dettol has been the No. 1 germ protection brand over the years. As the brand continues on its journey to find the right germ protection solution for Malaysian families, Dettol has identified different needs in personal wash, which largely narrows down to ‘odour protection’ and ‘skin protection’.

“We take shower to keep our body clean. But beyond this basic need, there are more advanced and versatile needs, which depends a lot on the family’s lifestyle.   Particularly for Malaysian families, their needs largely come down to 2 requirements: ‘odour protection’ that is mainly associated with odour causing germs in sweat, which prevails in hot tropical weather; and ‘skin protection’ that keeps skin healthy and well moisturised -- a constant challenge here due to higher exposure to sunlight and humidity, causing dust and germs to stick to the skin.   The new Dettol personal wash is designed to provide ‘protection from 100 harmful germs’ to address to both needs. ‘ProFresh’ is developed to control odour causing germs and provide 12 hours of odour protection, and ‘ProSkin’ focuses on healthy skin, giving 8 hours moisturisation. Both platforms are dermatologically tested and proven to be suitable for everyday use for families,” explained Kim Minyoung, Marketing Manager of Dettol Malaysia and Singapore.


Dr. Steven Chow, Senior Consultant Dermatologist explained that, mothers today are cautious about maintaining body hygiene and healthy skin of the family.

“Kids love playing outdoors, and while mothers are very happy to see them being active and having so much fun, they do worry at the invisible germs that may be clinging on to them. Not to mention the smell! There is nothing quite as overpowering as the odour when your sweaty children come home from physical activities at school. Effective germ protection body wash in the bathroom is the solution for the whole family! As kids’ skin is vulnerable, dermatologically tested solutions are important” said Dr. Steven.


He highlighted that many people have the misconception that sweating causes body odour, especially.

Sweat itself actually does not smell. Rather, it is the germs in the sweat that react chemically to produce odour by breaking down the sweat molecules into acids. Hence, it is important to remove the source of germs on the surface of the skin with specialised products, rather than simply clean with any regular product. This not only ensures that you and your family smell fresh all day, but also helps to improve your overall health,” he pointed out.


Keep the whole family hygienic and protected from germs, while they lead a healthy and active lifestyle! The Dettol personal wash range comes in five uplifting variants, namely Cool, Lasting Fresh, Re-energize, Fresh, and Skincare.


Mouse mommy likes the Dettol Cool Profresh antibacterial body wash with 12hour Odour Protection. Love the non-sticky residue feeling too, clean and fresh!
