Mentholatum 50 Megumi Anti Hair Loss Herbal Essence For Women Hair Care



Hair loss is quite common problem nowadays especially for women. Receding hairlines, thinning hair and hair loss used to be an issue that’s associated to ageing and are more commonly experienced by men. 


However, more and more young women in their late 20s and 30s are experiencing hair loss sooner than expected. Fewer than 45 per cent of women live their lives with a head full of hair. Studies have shown that hair loss can be caused by numerous factors which include poor diet, hormonal changes, effects of medication, hair treatments and others.

Women who experienced hair loss often also experience psychological distress and impaired social functioning as a result of it. Hair loss can happen when more follicles than normal go from Anagen phase (growing phase) to Catagen phase (transition phase) and when these hairs reach the Exogen phase (shedding phase), hair will appear thinner. The Telogen phase (resting phase) takes place right after the Catagen phase and it is during this phase that new hair grows beneath the existing hair before it sheds. The Telogen phase lasts between three to four months. Therefore, it is important that we ensure proper nourishment on the hair scalp during the Anagen phase to promote thicker and stronger hair.

In addressing these hair issues, Rohto Pharmaceutical in Japan has recently found a breakthrough formula that could reduce hair loss and recover hair volume by using 50 precious natural herbal ingredients, which essentially gave the new product its name – 50 Megumi Anti Hair Loss Series. Among some of the 50 nourishing herbal ingredients found in the 50 Megumi products include Panax Ginseng and Ginger root extract to strengthen hair roots, Swertia Japonica extract to protect against hairfall, Hydrolised Collagen to prolong hair life cycle and Natural orange and lemon extract to enhance deep penetration into scalp.

The other vital ingredients also include Shea Butter, Macadamia Seed Oil, Olive Oil, Pine Cone Extract, Aloe Vera Extract, Sunflower Seed Oil, Seaweed Extract, Caffeine, Pueraria Root Extract, Rosemary Extract and Jojoba Oil – all of which also helps prevents hair loss and helps increase hair volume.

The 50 Megumi Anti Hair Loss Series includes an Anti Hair Loss Treatment as well as two variants of shampoo and conditioner namely, Moist and Fresh.


The 50 Megumi Anti Hair Loss Treatment Essence, 160ml (RM150.00) is a must-have product in this Anti Hair Loss series. The treatment essence is an important haircare step against hair loss prevention. Just like the essence that is applied onto your face, the thin consistency of the treatment essence absorbs instantly into the scalp and hair in delivering all the necessary nourishment and nutrients needed.


Mouse mommy has used this for 2 weeks, can smell the herbal essence when I apply it on my scalp. The design of the tip is very handy and easy for me to apply the 50 Megumi Essence. Mouse mommy can feels the detox effect too.


Works as a leave-in treatment, the treatment essence helps to strengthen the roots of the hair, increase hair volume and reduce hair loss. Apply the treatment essence after hair is cleansed and conditioned. Massage a small amount onto the scalp and hair, and leave it to dry. 

The texture is light, watery and not sticky therefore the hair feels light even after application. Moreover, the citrusy scent of orange and lemon leaves the hair smelling fresh! For visible results, apply the treatment essence at least twice daily continuously for up to four months on dry or wet hair before styling. To achieve optimal results against hair loss, the treatment essence is best paired with the 50 Megumi Anti Hair Loss Shampoo and Conditioner series.

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.
