The Base, by For Youth – Best Anti-Ageing Health Supplements 

We all want to live long, healthy and happy lives. But as we grow older, we age. While ageing causes small issues, like wrinkles, it is also the root cause of many more serious ailments like cancer, brain and heart disease. 
Scientists have recently made a lot of progress in understanding ageing and finding ways to slow down or even reverse it. There’s no miracle cure available yet, but there’s already a lot that’s proven to help against ageing.

For Youth is a Singaporean longevity company making these latest scientific developments available in South East Asia. Their flagship product, The Base, is a dietary supplement containing NMN, or Nicotinamide Mononucleotide. NMN has gained a lot of popularity in recent years due to the work of Harvard professor David Sinclair. In his top-selling book Lifespan (2019), he explains the progress of the science of ageing and NMN is playing the lead role. 

Put simply, ageing is cell damage. NMN is a substance that naturally occurs in our bodies and it boosts levels of a compound called NAD+. And while NAD+ is necessary for the repair of cellular damage, its levels decrease as we grow older. 

NMN as found in The Base, is made from vegetable extracts - one capsule of 250 mg of 99% pure NMN contains the equivalent amount of almost 40 kg of broccoli!

This NMN helps to increase your energy levels, makes your mind function better and also improves the appearance of your skin. A lot of users even report that they have better sleep while on these health supplements. *

For Youth is funded by Singaporean startup incubator Antler. To learn more about For Youth and pick up some supplements, check out www.foryouth.co or follow them on Instagram. 

*It is recommended that you take NMN for 2-3 months to start noticing the first visible effects.

Xndo KETO Shake – Go Keto Easily With This Convenient Low-Carb Drink

You've definitely heard the word "keto": far from a passing fad diet, it's a low-carb, moderate-protein, high-fat diet that keeps you leaner, healthier and more alert. Yes, high-fat: not all fats are harmful, and a healthy fat intake can in fact make you burn more! Ketosis, a natural metabolic state, is triggered when the body breaks down fat into smaller molecules known as ketones: this only occurs when blood sugar level is in short supply. Low sugar, healthy fats, more effective weight loss.

Xndo's KETO Shake, with its attractive chocolate flavour, kicks sugar cravings while providing you with healthy fats, protein, and 22 vitamins and minerals. Coconut Oil, Grass-Fed Butter and Medium Chain Triglycerides give it a luxuriously smooth texture while supporting your needs. Do keep in mind that the drink is meant to complement a low-carb diet (think: a treat after a salad lunch), and is not a meal replacement product.

With no preservatives, artificial colours or flavours, the Xndo KETO Shake proves that weight loss doesn't have to be overly restrictive: you just need to pick the right sweet treats.

Shop the Xndo KETO Shake on LAC.

​Xndo Coconut Oil Extract To Aid Weight Management

Ever heard of the potential health and weight loss benefits of Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT)? MCT are a form of healthy fats that can help with weight management. Extracted from coconut oil, they are readily broken down and converted into energy without being stored as body fat. Hence, foods containing MCT aid weight loss and keto diets.

The Xndo Coconut Oil Extract - MCT Enhanced Fat Burner is a tasty, smooth and fine powder (not liquid coconut oil) that conveniently comes in individual sticks and can be consumed on its own anytime, anywhere or as a midday snack. You can also add it into your morning coffee, tea or smoothie to help kick off your day in fat-burning mode or into your pre or post-workout shakes to improve performance and recovery. To eat with your keto meal, simply sprinkle the coconut oil extract powder over to add some extra healthy fat.

The Coconut Oil Extract - MCT Enhanced Fat Burner has been specially formulated to boost satiety, burn fats and calories, and promote gut health. It is lacto-vegetarian-friendly, Halal-certified, and has no added preservatives, making it a suitable health supplement for those who want to support their healthy weight management programme.

The Xndo Coconut Oil Extract - MCT Enhanced Fat Burner comes in 30 sticks per box, and retails at LAC.

LAC MASQUELIER French Pine Bark Extract To Combat The Signs of Ageing

LAC (Leader in Antioxidative Control) was founded to deliver powerful antioxidants through their products to support your everyday health and wellness.

As we bustle around our busy schedules, we often leave little time for our bodies to rest. This exposes us to free radicals which damage our cells and cause our internal systems to become unbalanced. This excessive exposure to free radicals, known as oxidative stress, can lead to age-related changes in appearance such as loss of skin elasticity, wrinkles, and poor circulation – all of which can lead to premature ageing.

Combining the best of what Eastern wisdom and Western technology have to offer, LAC MASQUELIER’s® French Pine Bark Extract is a powerful immune booster that harnesses the antioxidative qualities of the French pine tree for your total body protection.

Each tablet helps you to get a convenient dose of antioxidants through a safe and unique three-way action protection that: neutralise free radicals in our body to slow down ageing; improve overall blood circulation and accelerate the drainage of waste materials from our body; and strengthen and retain collagen for supple and elastic skin.

LAC MASQUELIER’s® French Pine Bark Extract retails at LAC.
