Championing Antioxidant Power for Everyday Wellness
Discover how LAC Philippines
can help protect you against modern health risks
It’s easy to see how today’s fast-paced lifestyle has shaped how we
eat. With long work hours, heavy traffic, and multiple responsibilities at
home, quick and convenient meals have become the norm. Fast food, canned goods,
and processed snacks are now staples, not just for adults, but increasingly for
children. This shift is now reflected in national health data, pointing to a
growing public health crisis. The 2023 National Nutrition Survey revealed that
four in ten adults (39.8%) are overweight or obese. Even more concerning, nearly
one in ten Filipino children are now affected:
figures that exceed global thresholds and signal an urgent need for action.
But this issue isn’t simply the result of personal choices. It’s
rooted in a food environment where unhealthy options are cheaper, more
accessible, and aggressively marketed. As the World Health Organization notes,
ultra-processed products such as sweetened cereals, snacks, and flavored drinks
dominate store shelves. And Filipino children are especially vulnerable to this
imbalance. A UNICEF report found that they eat fewer fruits
and vegetables while consuming more sugar, salt, and fat. Consequently, the
rate of overweight children aged 5 to 10 rose from 10.4% in 2019 to 14% in
2022, with a similar rise among adolescents.
Beyond contributing to weight gain, ultra-processed
food causes more silent damage at the cellular level even in
children. They’re often loaded with compounds that trigger inflammation and
oxidative stress, factors linked to aging, weakened immunity, and chronic
disease. One of the most effective ways to support our bodies, including the
young ones during their critical years of development, is through antioxidants:
natural compounds that fight off free radicals, reduce internal stress, and
protect cells from damage. In doing so, antioxidants not only help prevent
illness but also support energy levels, skin health, immune defense, and
overall vitality, making them an essential part of everyday wellness.
A Small Step Toward Smarter Self-Care
This Nutrition Month, LAC Philippines highlights the significance of
championing the power of antioxidants as a foundation for smarter, everyday
self-care. With LAC MASQUELIER’s® French Pine Bark Extract,
LAC encourages Filipinos to take proactive steps toward better health.
Backed by over 75 years of research, this natural supplement
features Original OPCs (oligomeric proanthocyanidins)—an advanced and unique
compound proven to be 50 times stronger than Vitamin E and 20 times stronger
than Vitamin C in combating oxidative stress.
Its triple-action formulation supports the body in three key ways:
first, by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation, helping prevent premature
aging and strengthening the immune system. Second, it supports healthy
circulation, ensuring that nutrients and oxygen are efficiently delivered
throughout the body, keeping the heart, brain, and muscles functioning at their
best. Lastly, it preserves collagen, promoting smoother, firmer skin and
reducing visible signs of aging.
Taken daily as a dietary supplement, it is safe and beneficial for
all age groups, including children. The ideal intake for adults is one to two
tablets with water or fruit juice before meals, or at least one tablet for
every 45 kg (100 lbs) of body weight. For children, the recommended dosage is ½
tablet for those weighing 17 to 33 kg, and one tablet for those 34 kg and
above. This makes it a practical and smart addition to any family’s wellness
routines.
Whether you’re powering through long workdays, pursuing fitness
goals, or simply looking after your family’s well-being, LAC MASQUELIER’s®
French Pine Bark Extract is your reliable partner in daily health routine. With
consistent use, it helps reinforce your body’s natural defenses so you can
perform better, recover faster, and live more fully.
Lasting health isn’t built overnight, it’s built every day. With
LAC, consistency becomes your strength, and wellness becomes a way of life.
