MANILA, Philippines - Thirty-year-old Marie Elaine Corinne Maceda had always felt healthy and didn’t think she had any serious ailment until she was diagnosed with borderline diabetes and hypertension. An occupational optometrist by training who topped the 2005 Optometry Board Exams, Elaine shares that prior to her health scare, there was too much going on in her life. A typical day entailed meeting with clients, doing paperwork and running personal errands in the morning, and then off to her clinic to attend to patients in the afternoon.
For Elaine, taking the right supplements, including sufficient doses of vitamin C such as Poten-Cee Forte, is important to raise the body’s natural defense against diseases. Poten-cee’s eight-hour time release feature ensures that the body has an adequate supply of vitamin C all throughout the day.
On the other hand, it was a family history of asthma that frequently left graphic artist, web designer, and award-winning photographer Japoi Cequina breathless — literally. And while he is genetically predisposed to a string of respiratory ailments, he is also highly susceptible to a number of stress-related diseases due to the nature of his work. He realized he needed to modify his lifestyle fast before it was too late.
Like Elaine, Japoi also relies on the benefits of Poten-Cee Forte to protect himself against sickness. “Since I rarely have the time for a regular checkup, I make sure to take Poten-Cee Forte every day. It serves as my antioxidant,†says Japoi.
