Power-up Your Vacations with LAC

SINGAPORE, Aug 14, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – Whenever vacation season comes around, surely many of us with holiday plans are impatiently waiting to escape the mundanities of the daily grind and unwind overseas, pronto.


However, while travelling abroad can be an exciting experience, it exposes us to new environments and climates, leading to a higher chance of falling ill from all these jetting around. Research from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reveals that as many as 43%-79% of travellers to low- and middle-income countries become ill with a travel-associated health problem. The same study also revealed that travel duration is also a factor as the risk for a travel-associated illness increases with the length of the trip.

To combat these travel-bugs, LAC, Leader in Antioxidative Control, shares these useful travel supplements to pack in your suitcases:

For the Jetlagged and the Sleepyheads

When travelling to destinations of a different timezone, concerns of jetlag and fatigue are commonplace. The misalignment between the body's internal clock and the local time can cause poor sleep quality, causing lowered immunity. LAC Goodnight Powder is formulated with key ingredients such as melatonin, serotonin and Vitamin B6 to regulate the body's circadian rhythm – the perfect sleep supplement for the tired traveller, keeping your immune system right on track to fight off the nasty travel bugs.

For those Prone to Falling Sick

Ever wonder why people tend to fall sick easily while travelling? When visiting destinations that are climatically different from our own, factors such as stress or shifts in lifestyle may expose the body to free radicals which attack the body's immune cells.

To fully savour the sights, flavour and joy of an enjoyable travel experience, reducing the amount of free radicals each of us are exposed to, is important. The LAC MASQUELIER's(R) French Pine Bark Extract is jam-packed with Oligomeric proanthocyanidin complexes (OPCs). These specially-formulated antioxidants reduce the amount of free radicals in the body, allowing the body to combat pathogens and infections effectively.

For the Foodies

The Traveller's Diarrhoea (TD) is one of the most common issues travellers experience during travel. TD is spread mainly through food and water but it can also spread from person to person. While many travellers cite the local cuisine as one of the pulling factors to their holiday destination, being unfamiliar to common bacteria and viruses at their destination are often the primary cause of explosive diarrhoea and loose stools.

The LAC Probiotic Complex 25 Billion CFU would be a suitable solution to mitigate and alleviate the symptoms of TD, making it a perfect daily supplement for foodies who are always in search of the best local delicacies.

All in all, travelling often disrupts our routine and exposes us to different environments, potentially affecting our nutritional intake and immune response. LAC's supplements are a definite travel essential to support your overall health and well-being, ensuring that your body receives the essential nutrients it needs to power up and enjoy the vacation to the max.

Men in Relationship – Is Maintaining a Trim Waistline an Uphill Battle? LAC LeanCut(TM) Belli Lean and LAC Mega Maca

SINGAPORE, Aug 7, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – Many of us often joke about our friends when they get into a relationship, "Did you gain weight? Wow, you must be having a very loving partner now!"


The start of dating and relationships often bring forth happiness between partners, eager to shower time and love on each other. More often than not, from the times spent eating out and enjoying each other's company, men find themselves gaining weight during such wonderful times.

Furthermore, as the relationship progresses on to the next level, marriage, and children come into the picture. Suddenly, combined with a hectic work schedule, there is simply no more time for a quick run or gym sessions anymore.

As time passes, we may have noticed their jeans are running tighter, or heard them lament over feeling tired and more lethargic as compared to the past. Before we let our minds run wild ? is he tired of the relationship!? ? more often than not, the lack of energy is directly related to weight gain.

LAC (Leader in Antioxidative Control) offers nutritional, thoughtful gifts you can shower our men with, to combat excessive weight gain and promote healthy living through the LAC LeanCut(TM) Belli Lean and LAC Mega Maca.

Weight gain occurs when the amount of calories consumed exceeds the calories burned. With the additional food our men have to constantly finish up for us, the excess calories consumed will eventually be stored and accumulated as fat around the abdominal area. An unhealthy accumulation of belly fat puts men more at risk of health problems such as Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and colorectal cancers. Furthermore, the additional weight gained leaves them feeling more fatigued than usual, which could hamper their usual performance and focus.

LAC LeanCut(TM) Belli Lean not only aims to reduce water retention and subcutaneous fats under the skin, it can also reduce visceral fats that wrap around their organs. Offering a proprietary blend of ingredients such as Corn Silk Extract, Lemon Balm Extract, Red Vine Leaf Extract, Lotus Leaf Extract, Eucommia Leaf Extract and Medium Chain Triglycerides, LAC LeanCut(TM) Belli Lean aims to trim those stubborn inches easily and effectively.

Aside from the LeanCut(TM) Belli Lean, LAC Mega Maca is another supplement that can help our men in relieving fatigue, giving them more energy to survive the day. Containing Maca root as one of the key ingredients, this powerful and invigorating men's tonic promotes men's hormonal balance and nourishes men's vitality health, a convenient alternative for our men to increase their libido and maintain overall health.
