Golden Root

Golden Root Complex was developed following a study into reducing the effect of Erectile Dysfunction by the National Hospital of Singapore in 1998, which concluded that certain purified herbs could be an effective treatment for most users. Since then, Golden Root Complex has been developed as a natural remedy for a condition that had only previously been managed by synthetic or chemical products. Golden Root Complex, by boosting male sex drive, performance and stamina, is bought by men - and women, with their partners in mind.

Golden Root is a herbal supplement designed to help increase sexual stamina and arousal in men.
Manufactured in the United Kingdom and clinically approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Golden Root Complex is for men looking to enhance their sexual experience.

 Golden Root Complex helps maintain a stronger erection; treats premature ejaculation; and helps maintain an erection after ejaculation. One of the Daily Mail’s top 10 health products for men in February 2008, it is currently the best-selling alternative to synthetic preparations such as Sildenafil, Tadalafil and Vardenafil, with annual sales of over 5 million units in the United Kingdom. By far, Golden Root Complex is also the most effective herbal alternative among supplements for erectile enhancement, that can be bought over the counter without a doctor’s prescription.

 With a name based on its prime ingredient, Golden Root Complex sticks to its roots and objectives. Golden root is an aphrodisiac and cognitive stimulant that combats tension and fatigue and boosts concentration. Aside from golden root, the supplement is also made with maltese mushroom, which helps treat impotence and seminal emission; tongkat ali, an energy enhancer and aphrodisiac; siberian ginseng, another powerful aphrodisiac, which also increases physical energy and stamina; muira puama, which improves physical and psychological aspects of the libido; schisandrachinesis, one of sexual tonics recorded in early texts of Chinese herbal medicine; and saw palmetto—among a handful of other ingredients—which enhances sexual functioning, desire, and helps treat the prostrate. Golden Root Complex comes as a 300mg capsule to be taken as needed. For safety reasons, men are not advised to take more than one capsule a day. For the best effect, take a capsule of Golden Root Complex with water or in a drink, 30 minutes to one hour before the desired effect, and on an empty stomach. Effects take longer to materialize when taken after a meal. With every technological advancement available to men, it’s nice to note that one could still return to nature’s roots for the best solutio

Moving On with Contractubex

For many years as a child I've had so many scars that I could not move on from. It has always been staring back at me when I look in the mirror.I have been a very active child. Scars were normal as a child but as I grew older the badge of honor became of badge of horror. 

But now this is no longer the case since I discovered Contractubex® has been found to be very effective in treating inauspicious and movement restricting scars. The gel can be used to treat both old and recent scars. And it doesn‘t matter if the scars were caused by a physical accident, a burn or scald, an acid burn, a vaccination, acne or an operation.

It’s simple and easy to use. The treatment itself, however, requires a high degree of perseverance and active participation by the patient. Scars not only take time to develop. They must also be treated in a very consistent manner.

The visual (i.e. cosmetic) and functional (i.e. mobility-related) results that can be achieved are worth the patience. In some cases scar surgery and grafts can also be avoided. Contractubex® is extremely well tolerated even in long-term use.

Ingredients of Contractubex®

The active ingredients in Contractubex® are cepae extract, heparin and allantoin.

How Contractubex® works

• Cepae extract is obtained from onions. It generates an anti-inflammatory, bactericidal effect. And it reduces swelling while preventing excessive growth of the connective tissue.
• Heparin loosens the tissue structure. It has an anti-inflammatory effect and helps to bind water to the scar tissue.
• Allantoin encourages wound healing and has a soothing effect. In older scars its most important effect is to replenish and regulate the extreme lack of water in the scar tissue – and to promote blood flow.

The effects of the ingredients enhance and complement each other. And the water-soluble ointment base allows the active ingredients to penetrate into deeper layers of the skin. Contractubex® does not leave behind a residue. Rather its protective film shields the sensitive scar tissue.

In many cases, Contractubex® treatments make scar tissues elastic again and restore most of their functionality. The earlier you begin to treat the scar tissue with Contractubex® the better the outcome will be.

Brand ambassadors Laarni Burgos, Janice Lagman and Emie Miranda also shared their scar experience with us and how Contractubex was able to help them. They are living proofs that this ointment can result to scar less or flawless skin with continuous use.

Five Steps to Beautiful Eyes

Whether we are at home or in office, our eyes, one of the most sensitive organs of the body, need utmost protection from harmful factors present in the environment. Dust, wind, sunlight—even the air-conditioning in the office—can be detrimental to the health of our eyes. As much as possible, maintain good eye health by ensuring that our eyes are nourished and protected so that they can function properly and won’t bring any problems (aside from making us beautiful, of course). Some useful tips to protect our eyes, our window to the world, are therefore in order.

 • “Re-wetting” - Working long hours in the office can take its toll on our eyes, especially if our area is quite cold because of air-conditioning. Exposure to such environment for long periods of time would make our eyes dry and lose its natural lubrication quickly. This natural lubricant or wetness is vital for them to function
properly, aside from keeping dirt away whenever dust particles enter our eyes. Re-wetting our eyes using eye drops can do the trick. If not, trying blinking for a few moments to lubricate the eyes.

• Rest – Rest our eyes as long as we can during a short break whether doing office work or household chores. Closing our eyes for a few minutes can do wonders in reducing eye strain, headaches or fatigue. After resting, wash the eyes with cold water to relax it, or you can look at something “green” to rest the eyes. Speaking of eye strain, we will have less of this issue if we use an LCD (liquid crystal display) monitor instead of the bulky, flickering cathode-ray tube (CRT) type, especially if we spend long hours in front of the computer. Just don’t forget to look away from the screen (even if it’s LCD) from time to time to rest our eyes.

• Regular eye check-up – This may sound cliché but still effective—“an ounce of prevention is better than a
pound of cure.” To prevent eye problems in the future or to treat it if indeed there are problems, it’s best to have annual regular visits to the ophthalmologist. For those who use glasses, have it checked regularly as well to ensure that it is of the correct prescription.

• Clean, clean, clean – Maintaining cleanliness is emphasized further when it comes to the eyes. Eye infection usually starts with dirty hands or fingers or even the nails, more importantly for those who rub their eyes. Try to avoid rubbing the eyes as much as possible, if not, use a clean handkerchief or any soft type of cloth to protect the eyes.

• Diet – A well-balanced diet comprising of fruits and vegetables is recommended. Food rich in Vitamins A, C and E, carrots bursting with beta carotene, or even fish that is high in Omega 3 are highly recommended. In addition, berries, cherries or pomegranates contain powerful antioxidants and bioflavonoids to help strengthen the small blood vessels that supply the eyes with oxygen and other nutrients. But of course, these are just simple ideas to keep our eyes healthy.

Another healthy regimen that can be considered is the consumption of oral supplements that can complement the above-mentioned suggestions to help achieve overall eye health. When it comes to oral health supplements, top of mind consideration is BRAND’S® InnerShine® Berry Essence made by BRAND’S®, a leader in health and wellness over the last 170 years.

It is a delicious, fruit-based, ready-to-drink essence with vital nutrients and powerful antioxidants. With seven types of berries like acai berry, bilberry, blackcurrant, chokeberry, cranberry, elderberry and strawberry, they combined to form a “super berry” blend, providing nourishment and protection to the eyes by simply drinking one chilled bottle a day. BRAND’S® InnerShine® Berry Essence is also fortified with Vitamins A, C, E, and zinc. It contains no added artificial colorings or preservatives.

 It is available at Watsons, Landmark supermarkets, and Mercury Drug stores in the Greater Manila area at an SRP of P85 per bottle. Our eyes deserve the special care it needs in order for us to see life and appreciate all that it offers—and trust BRAND’S® InnerShine® Berry Essence to give us healthy and beautiful eyes.

Collezione A Classic with A Modern Twist

When it comes to Philippine style, no other retail brand has enough rightful claim of being the pioneer than Collezione. Since 1972, the heritage brand has provided Filipinos with outstanding and durable shirts, matching (at times surpassing) the quality and designs of its higher-end foreign counterparts. Today, Collezione C2 celebrates its 40^thyear by presenting a striking new collection heralded by bold statements and even bolder representation.

 “Collezione C2 will continue to innovate and find creative ways to promote Genuine Filipino Artistry by generating unique, exceptional and relevant designs that showcase and celebrate what’s best about the Filipinos of today,” says Mr. Joey Qua, President  of Collezione C2.

Childhood memories and local scenes have given the new collection of Collezione C2 a sense of nostalgia mixed with a modern aura that’s perfect for the season.

 Drawing inspiration from seemingly mundane, everyday sights like Maya birds, Gumamela and the Carabao, the brand’s newest designers have come up with pieces that will usher in a striking fashion collection for Filipinos. Collezione C2’s Menswear Creative Director Noel Crisostomo and Collezione C2’s Womenswear Creative Director Stef Sarmiento-Valdez have given a new spark to our local fashion scene by incorporating digital prints that highlight the most remarkable sights and experiences in the Philippines which are found juxtaposed in razor-sharp dresses and separates. To bring in color to the designs, Philippine festivals such as Ati-atihan and Maskara along with the stunning Makati skyline and the ever-present Jeepney were proponents in creating a vivid contrast to the new Collezione C2 shape of fashion modernity.

Yet the most remarkable highlight of Collezione C2’s most recent collection is the revival of its unwavering legacy. “Since we are celebrating the 40th year of Collezione, we want to highlight the key logo, the brand's original emblem,” explains Noel Crisostomo, inspired by many childhood recollections for the brand’s iconic trademark. “I wore Collezione when I was a toddler, and I still vividly remember the key logo on my chest,” adds Stef Sarmiento-Valdez, putting the remarkable insignia on everything from piqued shirts to desirous evening accessories.

This perfect setting is where the Philippines’ most iconic retail brand and the Filipino’s best-loved leading man have crossed, which in turn has signaled a new fashion direction that is cutting edge, collectable, and yet timeless.

With a face that has captured the hearts of Filipinos, Jericho Rosales’ endearing passion and confidence is a fixture in several Asian television shows. An enduring actor, a sportsman, an adventurer, a philanthropist, and an acclaimed singer-songwriter—through the years, he remains a constant reminder that excellence can be achieved with a balance of goodwill and success as long as one is anchored with a strong sense of faith and is done with a spirit of fashion, art and nationalism.

These for sure are bolder times for Collezione, reaching an age when life actually begins at 40. Armed with a new collection that upholds the country’s dynamic move forward, and a new face that reminds everyone of the enduring values that Filipinos hold true, just like its inception 40 years ago, Collezione still holds the key to Philippine fashion greatness.

COLE HAAN PRESENTS THE LUNARGRAND COLLECTION

In September, the much-anticipated Cole Haan LunarGrand Wingtip Collection will launch in Asia Pacific. Engineered to conquer the streets of New York City, the LunarGrand is a conceptual clash of past meets future—the unique and seamless fusion of timeless design and futuristic innovation. Incorporating Nike’s innovative ultra-lightweight Lunarlon cushioning system into Cole Haan’s traditional construction techniques, the LunarGrand achieves unrivaled feel, flexibility and movement - redefining how classic dress shoes can move and function in modern urban environments.

 “The LunarGrand came from our perpetual obsession with making our products better,” says Phil Russo, Cole Haan’s VP of Design. “When you understand what people are doing in their shoes today, their expectations of style and demands of functionality, you can create products that really do make a difference as people go about their everyday lives. Through considered and specific engineering, the Cole Haan LunarGrand emerges as a unique product that challenges preconceptions of how dress shoes can adapt.

 

“The goal of the design process was to create a wingtip to take on the streets of New York City—a shoe that utilized motion-enhancing innovations at the same time as retaining its authentic and timeless aesthetic,” said Russo.

 The immediate reaction when wearing the shoe is to its lightweight and flexible motion-enhancing properties. A well-fitted heel, which better secures the shoe on the foot, as well as a wider forefoot and slimmer rounded toe, allow for more natural, ergonomic foot movement. A partial lining lends a clean, deconstructed feel and keeps the shoe significantly light. Lunarlon cushioning technology in the mid-sole is encased within an outsole featuring micro-diamond tread textures and rubber toe pods to maximize traction and adaptability on unforgiving concrete streets—a competitive advantage in the city that never sleeps.

Built on a classic Cole Haan last with a leather welt detail and crafted in premium suede uppers, the LunarGrand gracefully retains its iconic wingtip silhouette. The men’s and women’s Cole Haan LunarGrand Wingtip is now available exclusively at the following
