Thanks Avon Commitment To Funding Breast Cancer Initiatives For 24 Years Already!



No Woman Should Be In The Dark! Mouse mommy was glad that Avon ‘s commitment to breast cancer  grows bigger every year. Avon have been supported and involved with breast cancer for 24 years as part of the commitment to improving the wellbeing of women. 

Avon is the strong corporate supporter for issues related to women including its core corporate social responsibility pledge, a breast cancer promise. Well done Avon!


This year,  through the Pink Light Project, Avon continues to partnering with National Population and Family Development Board (LPPKN) to help every woman to know the risk, the signs and what action to take when it comes to breast cancer, no 1 killer for women. 


Avon, LPPKN and Majlis Kanser Nasional (MAKNA) are reaching  out to more women at 11 locations including Sabah and Sarawak and more series with MAKNA until the end of the year. Click here to find out the MAKNA Mobile Mammogram Trailer details.   



The pledge is to make sure no woman dies because she was in any doubt about breast cancer. She must know how to take control of her breast health, by being fully aware of the risks, symptoms and what actions she could take. 


During the closing ceremony which was graced by the Chairman of LPPKN Dato Mariam Mas Yacob, Avon handed over the FREE mammogram check worth RM25,000 to MAKNA that will go to the local community beginning November this year.  

The ceremony saw Avon Malaysia’s General Manager Onur Erdinc handing the donation to Habiba Abdul Rahman, the President of Cancer Support Group MAKNA and witnessed by Chairman of LPPKN.


Avon through the breast cancer campaign launched in 1992, contributed RM1.3 million that benefited hospitals, breast cancer centers, non-government organizations and breast cancer related support activities. 


Adds Onur “I hope this effort and contribution will make a difference impact to women’s life. Moving forward, we will ensure this mission continues and reaching out to more women. I strongly encourage all women to care about themselves and share their experience with more women."

Himalaya Salt Sports Candy Ideal For Active Lifestyle Goers!



A sweet that combination with Himalaya Salt! The creator of the Big Foot Candy, Nicko Jeep Manufacture Sdn Bhd has officially launched its Himalaya Salt Sports Candy, targeting at the sporty and outdoorsy.


Made with the natural Himalayan Salt, this new sports candy comes in really handy should your body need some extra sodium after an intense workout. 

It’s refreshing minty flavour is also ideal for anyone who needs a minty fresh breath after lunch or before a meeting or something refreshing on hot day. The extra cool sensation of the hard candy also soothes the throat at the same time.


Mouse mommy has tasted the Himalaya Salt Sports Candy, it is a combination taste of sweet, mint and slight salty and sour. The main ingredients of the sweets is Himalaya Salt and lemon. Handy and convenient for us to bring along when we go for family walkathon, sport or activities.

Besides that, mouse mommy also found that this Himalaya Sports Candy is good for sore throat too as in I got some discomfort at my throat and feeling relieve after having it.


Kenny Low, the Founder and Managing Director of Nicko Jeep Manufacture Sdn Bhd said the inspiration behind this sports candy came about during a hiking trip with his friends when he suffered bad cramps due to excessive sweating which causes a decrease in the concentration of sodium in the blood stream. This was when Kenny wished he had that candy creation (with sodium content) handy.


The key ingredient of the sports candy which is the natural Himalayan Salt, is believed to possess many health benefits. It contains over 80 natural traces of minerals such as Potassium, Magnesium and Calcium which are all found naturally in the body. 

Besides promoting the absorption of mineral and nutrients into the bloodstream, the Himalayan Salt is known for helping maintain hydration in the body. Kenny believes that the health benefits of the Himalayan Salt when combined with pure Lemon juice which is rich in vitamin C as well as the soothing benefits of mint would result in a concoction that greatly benefits the body especially after a strenuous sporting activity.


“The Himalaya Salt Sports Candy comes in a convenient packaging on the go. It must be emphasised that the sports candy is not a health supplement but rather a handy ‘pick me up’ when you need some extra healthy natural salt and glucose after a good workout,” said Kenny.


Alongside the launch of the Himalaya Salt Sports Candy, was the unveiling of the sports candy’s ambassador. Goh Liu Ying, who is the 2016 Olympics Badminton Mixed Doubles Silver Medallist was appointed the ambassador for the sports candy as she is an ideal role model for aspiring young sportsmen and sportswomen. 

She is also a fan of the candy and takes it whenever she is out training and have it with her during tournaments.


Besides Himalaya Salt Sports Candy, also launched Himalaya Pastilles Peppermint. It is a delightfully chewy, bite-sized pastilles that come in a convenient resealable packet that soothe the throat and freshen your breath with its strong cool mint flavour. It is refreshing and can get rid of bad breath too!

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.
