Hi! I am Doc Gi-ann, a Family doctor and practicing physician for the last eleven years.

Everyday, I treat patients both young and old, from all walks of life who suffer from acute and chronic illnesses, metabolic syndrome, infectious and non-communicable diseases.

A lot of these illnesses could be prevented if we maintain good nutrition -- when our body gets the right amount of essential nutrients from vitamins and minerals to function its best.

The Philippines and other low- and middle-income / developing countries face a nutrition crisis from lack of access to nutritious food due to poverty, rapid population growth, and lack of nutrition education. In addition, the lack of potable water, poor sanitation and hygiene practices in rural and congested urban poor areas poses risks of infectious and water-borne diseases, which are all underlying causes of malnutrition.

Another factor affecting our nutrition and health is soil degradation from chemicals used in agriculture and commercial farming, which results in reduced nutrient content in the crops that we consume. Over filtration of water also removes important minerals like magnesium, and premature harvesting of produce likewise causes nutrient depletion.

Growth hormones and antibiotics used in animal production also compromise the quality of food we eat daily.

The rise of fast food chains, as well as the increased consumption of junk food and processed foods loaded with preservatives, salt, fat, and sugar creates a generation of overfed and malnourished children and a pandemic of metabolic diseases such as diabetes among adults.

Our bodies also become depleted of vital micronutrients as we deal with stress, anxiety, and sleep deprivation, which are magnified by the pandemic and lockdowns.

Now, more than ever is the time to consider multivitamin / mineral supplementation to meet our nutrient requirements.

As a physician with busy medical practice in Quezon City and Manila, my health is my number one priority.

Even before Covid-19 hit, I have been taking these multivitamin / mineral supplements myself, along with eating a balanced diet and getting daily exercise to sustain me throughout the day and keep up with my full patient load. I know I will better serve my patients if I am in my best health.

I have prescribed these nutritional supplements to my patients in the last five years and have seen my patients recover faster with a shorter convalescence period, particularly in cases of upper respiratory infections, viral exanthems (e.g. measles, chicken pox, dengue), and bacterial infections (e.g. TB). I also observed improved resistance to infections among diabetic individuals.

My patients have also reported improved sleep quality, greater total sleep time, and renewed energy and vitality.

Optimal nutrition, undeniably, is linked to immunity and plays an important role in maintaining health as we live in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic.

I highly recommend these nutritional supplements, which are not only cost-effective and safe, but which I have also personally used myself, as well as prescribed to patients over the years with positive feedback!

I am sharing these with you so that you can start protecting yourself, your family, and start your health journey TODAY!

Collagen is a protein made up of amino acids. It provides structural support to the extracellular space of connective tissues. Due to its rigidity and resistance to stretching, it is the perfect matrix for skin, tendons, bones, and ligaments. Collagen Types I to V represent 99% of the body's collagen, which serve the same purpose, to help tissues withstand stretching.
