6 Practical Tips to Lose Weight Without Exercise

2026-05-30T09:00:00.000+08:00

Isn't it wonderful if you can lose weight without putting in much effort? This is a dream come true for those of us who are lazy or hate exercising. Well, it is possible to lose weight without exercising - provided you have the discipline to change your lifestyle.

Try some of the following tips..

1. Drink more water

When you wake up, drink 2 glasses of water to help activate your internal organs. Water offers many benefits such as helping to remove toxins from your body, regulate body temperature, lower blood pressure, carry nutrients and oxygen to body cells and maintain optimal kidney function. You can add fruit slices like oranges, mint or lemon for extra flavour and nutrients.

Tip: Drink a big glass of plain water 30 minutes before meals to help you feel fuller and reduce food intake.

2. Eat slowly and mindfully

Chewing longer helps suppress hunger and makes you full faster. The liquified food increases the amount of nutrients absorbed by the body and is easier on your digestive process.

Tip: Chew every mouthful at least 20 times before swallowing.

3. More fibre and protein

Protein takes longer to digest and decreases the level of ghrelin (hunger-regulating hormone), making you feel fuller for a longer period. Fibre expands in your gut like a sponge, so it's a natural appetite suppressant.

Tip: Drink a Protein-Fibre Shake about 20 minutes before meals, especially if you're planning to take deep-fried or oily food. The fibre forms a layer in your digestive system, and reduces the absorption of fats, sugar and salt, which not only control your weight but also prevent diabetes and constipation problem. Take a look at this video on how to make the shake:

4. Cut down on sugar

If you want to lose weight, sugar should be the first thing to go. Be mindful of the "hidden" sugar eg. in your salad dressing, sauces, canned fruits, honey, creamer etc. By eliminating sugar, you lower your risk of heart disease dramatically as it reduces your risk of high blood pressure and diabetes.

Tip: If you like coffee, try CEO Coffee. This healthy coffee uses roasted beans, coconut oil instead of creamer and most importantly, contains Lingzhi. Not only does it taste delicious, it has the bonus of clearing blood vessels and preventing colon cancer. Click on this link for more details:

5. Manage stress levels

When your body is under pressure, it releases the hormone cortisol, which can increase cravings for energy-dense, comfort foods. High cortisol levels over time are also linked to abdominal fat gain.

Tip: Spend 5 minutes mid-morning and in the afternoon to do a few rounds of deep breathing.

6. Get proper sleep

Evidence shows that people who get too little sleep have a higher risk of weight gain than people who get 7 to 8 hours of sleep a night. Sleep deprivation changes your endocrine function and metabolism by affecting your production of hunger-regulating hormones ghrelin and leptin. This can make you feel hungrier than usual, increasing the likelihood of craving for unhealthy snacks.

Tip: Practise good sleep hygiene by sleeping at the same time every day and ensure the room temperature is comfortable.

Cortisone Steroids and Osteoporosis

2026-05-09T09:00:00.002+08:00

Long-term treatment of rheumatic illnesses like arthritis using cortisone (a type of glucocorticoids) can cause osteoporosis. Cortisone is a steroid hormone and reduces allergic-like reactions. According to the German Society for Rheumatology (DGRh), as a preventive measure, you should accompany it with calcium and vitamin D.

What is a good source of calcium and vitamin D?

Yung Kien Bee Pollen. Because it is Natural, there is no Preservatives, it doesn't contain Antibiotics and it is Complete with Enzymes and Coenzymes which aids in better digestion and absorption of the calcium and vitamin D.

Click on this link to find out what other types of vitamins and minerals are in a grain of pollen:

http://www.pingofhealth.com/2012/07/what-is-deal-with-bee-pollen.html

Experts say cortisone drugs are usually well tolerated when used for short periods. But if used for more than 3 months, there may be side effects like decrease in bone density, which lead to osteoporosis. In 30-40% of patients treated with cortisone over a period of 4.5 years, recent or older bone fractures could be detected, DGRh estimates.

The problem is that many patients don't notice the small bone fractures precisely because of the medicine they are taking. Therefore, the bone problems are frequently overlooked and not treated. As a result, the skeleton becomes more fragile, thus promoting further fractures. In the first 3-6 months of glucocorticoid therapy, bone density decreases by up to 12%.

After the end of treatment, the fracture risk declines again, as it is directly related to cortisone intake. Therefore, DGRh recommends taking as much cortisone as necessary, but as little as possible, in combination with preventive measures against possible bone loss.

In other words, a rheumatoid arthritis patient is faced with a serious challenge - they take cortisone to treat their arthritis. But long-term consumption may lead to brittle bones and osteoporosis.

What is a preferred alternative to cortisone?

Yung Kien Ganoderma. Because research found that Ganoderma possess immune-modulating and anti-allergic capabilities and can inhibit the development of chronic inflammation like rheumatoid arthritis.

What to do if You are Deficient in Calcium

2026-04-11T09:00:00.009+08:00

Low calcium intake in our diet is linked to higher body fat, according to a 2013 study by the European Journal of Nutrition. This is because low calcium interferes with normal glucose homeostasis leading to an increase in insulin resistance.

Evidence has closely linked the importance in gut microbes in the regulation of obesity. It was demonstrated that high-calcium diets appear to positively affect gut microbiota composition, favouring the growth of lactobacilli (good bacteria). Calcium supplementation modulates gut microbiota in a prebiotic manner, promoting a healthier metabolic profile and potentially prevent or treat obesity.

Functions of Calcium

Maintain healthy bones and teeth.
Muscle contraction.
Nerve impulse transmission.
Cellular metabolism.
Normalise heart rhythm.
Blood clotting.

Problems associated with Calcium deficiency

Osteoporosis, which may lead to disability or fractures.
Seizures.
Congestive heart failure.

People at higher risk of Calcium deficiency diseases

Menopause women.
People with low levels of vitamin D.
Certain medication.
Chemotherapy drugs.
Septic shock.
Renal failure.
Massive blood transfusion.
Vegans.

Probiotics and Gut Health, Immune Health & Mental Health

2026-03-21T09:00:00.004+08:00

What is a microbiome?

Micro means small and Biome means a community of living beings. Together, the word Microbiome means a community of microorganisms that live in all regions of our body. This post focuses on the community of microbiome that resides in our guts, also known as Probiotics.

These probiotics which inhabit our digestive tract are commonly called the "good" bacteria. They play a significant role in digestion, immune function, brain health and the ageing process.

Health benefits of probiotics

1. Gut health

> Probiotics optimises gut function by restoring the natural balance of gut bacteria. This is especially important because when we fall sick, the bad microorganisms usually outnumber the good bacteria.

> Prevents and treats diarrhoea eg. from food poisoning or antibiotics.

> Reduces symptoms of certain digestive disorders eg. IBS.

2. Immune system

> Protect against colds and flu (as 70-80% of our immune system are present in the gut).

> Prevent UTIs.

> Reduce severity of certain allergies and eczema.

3. Mind and brain

We usually hear the term Physical Health ~ we should do more exercise and be more physically active. Nowadays, the word Mental Health is the centre of attention. It comprises of 3 aspects: Psychological, Emotional and Social wellbeing. It affects how we think, feel and act. It also determines how we handle stress, relate to others and make healthy choices.

The National Health and Morbidity Survey reported some pretty scary statistics - the number of mental health cases among Malaysians above 16 years old has increased from 10.7% (1996), to 11.2% (2006), and 29.2% (2015). This means approximately 1 in 3 Malaysians had mental health problems in 2015.

Have you heard of the phrase "gut-wrenching experience" or have you ever suffer from the feeling of "butterflies in your stomach"? This is because our gut and brain are connected. The Gut-Brain Axis is a 2-way communication system between our gut (digestive system) and brain (central nervous system). It plays a significant role in our emotions and stress response. The enteric nervous system that regulates our gut is often called the body's Second Brain. It's like a mini-brain that lives in the intestines and helps manage digestion. This Second Brain also sends messages to the big brain; that's why the Gut-Brain Axis is so important. In other words, probiotics play a part in our mental health.

Studies show that taking probiotics can:

> Improve your mood and reduce stress.

> Help with certain mental disorders like depression or anxiety.

4. Other health benefits

> Helps in weight loss as probiotics can help utilise the energy in our food.

> Keeps your heart healthy by maintaining healthier cholesterol levels.

> Promote oral health (reduction of gum disease and prevent caries).

Probiotics v. Prebiotics

Probiotics are food or supplement that contain live microorganisms.

Prebiotics are non digestible food components that selectively stimulate the growth or activity of probiotics.

In order to reach our intestines alive, the probiotics must be able to endure the harsh conditions in the stomach such as strong acid and digestive enzymes, which kill many microorganisms.

Manufacturers overcome this problem by using special production processes and formulation to enhance the tolerance of probiotics to acidic conditions. Some bacterial strains have a naturally inbuilt level of tolerance to acidic conditions. In other words, it all depends on the type and manufacturing process of the probiotic you take.

Key traits of Lactoberry probiotics

The probiotics used in Lactoberry is multicoated with Oligosaccharides (food supply of probiotics) thus giving the probiotics more energy and enhanced potency. This coating increases the probiotic's tolerance against gastric acid and bile salt. Further, the probiotics also can stay in the GI tract for a longer time.

6 Ingredients & Benefits of Lactoberry

1. Bifidobacterium lactis

> Improves digestive conditions in the body eg. lactose intolerance and gluten toxicity as well as improves constipation by reducing gut-transit time.

> Assists digestion and utilisation of nutrients eg. sugar, fibre and macronutrients. It's also partially responsible for the absorption and utilisation of certain vitamins and minerals.

> As about 70% of probiotics are present in our gut, they have an immuno-modulating effects, especially for upper respiratory tract infections eg. common flu and cold.

2. Bifidobacterium longum

> Alleviates GI disorders eg. constipation and antibiotic associated diarrhoea.

> Immuno-modulation eg. improves symptoms of allergy and infections.

> Improvement and homeostasis of intestinal microenvironment. Studies have shown that with decreased micro-biodiversity, we are more prone to have diseases especially metabolic disorders like diabetes.

3. Isomalt

> Sugar substitute. Hence, Lactoberry can be ingested by diabetics.

> Prebiotics, therefore it's a food source for probiotics.

> Stimulates peristalsis, softens stools and alleviates constipation.

4. Berries

> Cranberry powder prevents UTIs due to it containing an abundance of phytonutrients A-type proanthocyanidins or condensed tannins. It prevents the E.Coli bacteria from attaching to the lining of the bladder and urinary tract.

> Raspberry powder, which has one of the richest sources of fibre amongst fruits and tannin content. It prevents constipation by increasing the bulk and letting the stools come out more easily, as well as benefits blood sugar control by improving insulin resistance.

> Blueberry powder is high in antioxidant flavonoids such as anthocyanin, which neutralises free radicals and enhances metabolic waste excretion.

Who needs it?

> Children, teenagers, adults and elderlies.

> Pregnant ladies.

> Patients after medical treatments.

Recommended consumption

> 1-2 sachets for daily maintenance before or after meals. To ensure the benefits of probiotics are reaped, it's important to take Lactoberry on a daily and on-going basis.

> Under special condition such as food poisoning or constipation, increase dosage as needed.

Start with a Healthy Breakfast

2026-02-28T09:00:00.004+08:00

Malaysians enjoy relatively cheap public healthcare and pride ourselves on globally high-ranked health services. Thus, many of us only look for help when we are ill. But isn't it better to prevent yourself from becoming sick in the first place, rather than seeking treatment only when feeling unwell?

Nutrition plays a very important role in maintaining health and preventing diseases. We all know as we are constantly bombarded with many tips on how to stay healthy. The question is how often do you remember all these Tips?

Practice BMV (balance, moderation, variety) when having meals.
Consume more vegetables and fruits. Choose whole grains instead of refined grains. Choose fish and lean meat instead of processed meat.
Steam, grill and stew instead of deep-fry when cooking at home.
Limit salt, sugar, fat and oil when cooking. Substitute with herbs and spices as seasoning.
Drink sufficient water daily. Reduce intake of sugar-sweetened beverages.
Be mindful of salt, sugar and fat content in packaged foods.
Look for eateries with healthy options near your workplace.
Do not skip meals as this can make you hungrier during the next meal, leading to overeating.
When eating snacks, consume in moderation and choose healthier snacks like bananas, raisins, nuts etc.
Be a good role model to your children by practising healthy eating yourself.
For school, prepare healthier home-cooked/packed lunchboxes for your children.
Beware of fed diets and unscrupulous advertising.

All these tips and recommendations are preventive measures that can help us stay healthy longer and prevent the development of serious and chronic diseases.

How to Interpret Your Blood Test Results

2026-02-07T09:00:00.004+08:00

Doing an annual blood test is an important way to keep track of your overall physical well-being. However, you may want to do it more often if you:

(a) Experience unusual, persistent symptoms eg. fatigue, abnormal weight gain or new pain.

(b) Want to optimise your health eg. knowing your blood components such as HDL and LDL cholesterol to lower the risk of heart attacks or stroke.

Standard blood screenings usually cover tests on lipid, liver, kidney, blood sugar, bone, tumour markers and blood count. Below is a summary of the optimal readings and how Ganoderma / Lingzhi help to improve your health conditions.

1. Lipid profile

Total cholesterol (HDL + LDL) = <200 mg/dL (5.2 mmol/L)

HDL = >60 mg/dL (1.6 mmol/L)

LDL = <100 mg/dL (2.6 mmol/L)

Total / HDL Ratio = <4.0

Triglycerides (VLDL) = <150 mg/dL (1.7 mmol/L).

Ganoderma and Cholesterol

- Reduce fatty liver.

- Reduce LDL cholesterol.

- Inhibit formation and synthesis of cholesterol in liver cells.

2. Liver profile

Bilirubin (from breakdown of haemoglobin) = <26 umol/L

ALP (alkaline phosphatase enzyme) = 25-105 mu/ml

SGOT (AST) = 0-30 mu/ml

SGPT (ALT) = 0-30 mu/ml

GGT (enzyme that helps liver metabolise drugs and other toxins) = 0-50 IU/L

Albumin = 35-50 g/L

Globulin = 25-36 g/L

Total Protein (albumin + globulin) = 60-82 g/L

Albumin / Globulin Ratio = 1.2-2.5

NB: Increased ALP and GGT is commonly due to bile duct obstruction.

Ganoderma and Liver Protection (YK1)

- Protect liver from superoxide-induced damage and free radical scavenging activity.

- Inhibit replication of hepatitis B virus.

- Decrease GOT and GPT level and increase liver protein level.

- Protect liver from chemical or toxicity-induced damage eg. alcohol and fried food.

3. Kidney profile

Urea/BUN (amount of urea nitrogen) = 2.5-6.6 mmol/L

Creatinine (chemical waste product from muscle and protein metabolism) = 62-115 umol/L

eGFR (estimated GFR, based on creatinine level and age) = >90 ml

Potassium = 3.4-5.0 mmol/L

Sodium (body's water balance) = 137-149 mmol/L

Chloride = 101-108 mmol/L

NB: High BUN level may indicate kidney disease such as glomerulonephritis or kidney failure.

High creatinine level may indicate kidney problems and muscle disease.

Ganoderma and Kidney Protection (YKK/S)

- Protect from kidney disease due to hypertension and diabetes.

- Protect from kidney inflammation due to SLE.

- Protect from kidney damage due to excessive alcohol and toxicity.

- Protect kidney tubule and glomerulus from chronic and acute infections.

- Protect renal cortex from free radicals.

4. Diabetes mellitus profile

Fasting blood glucose (overnight fast) = <100 mg/dL ( 5.6 mmol/L)

Random blood glucose (non-fasting) = <200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol /L)

Glycated haemoglobin test (HbA1c) (average blood sugar level for past 3 months) = <5.7%

NB: Low glucose can occur when a diabetic person consumes too much insulin or other diabetic medications, or eats too little food while taking these medications.

Ganoderma and Diabetes (YKI)

- Prevent hyperglycaemia.

- Protect beta-cells in pancreas.

- Modulate blood glucose.

- Lower after-meal blood glucose.

5. Bone & joint profile

Calcium = 2.1-2.6 mmol/L

Phosphate = 0.77-1.42 mmol/L

Uric acid (diagnose gout) = 220-452 umol/l

RA Factor (proteins produced by immune system that attack healthy tissues, associated with autoimmune disease) = <35 IU/mL

Vitaking and Jia Hor Calcium

Regular consumption of Vitaking collagen and Jia Hor Calcium can strengthen your bones and slow down the rate of osteoporosis.

6. Tumour markers

CEA (Most common: colon & rectum. Others: pancreas, stomach, breasts, lung, certain types of thyroid and ovarian cancer) = 0.0-5.0 ng/mL

Alpha Fetoprotein (Most common: liver. Others: ovaries and testicles) = 0.0-15.0 ng/mL

CA 19.9 (Most common: pancreas. Others: cirrhosis & gallstones) = 0.0-37.0 U/mL

CA 125 (ovarian cancer) = 0.0-35.0 U/mL

Total PSA (prostate cancer) = 0.0-4.0 NG/mL

EBV EA+EBNA-1 IgA (nose cancer) = <9 EU/mL

Tumour marker tests are used to:

- Monitor your treatment. If tumour marker levels go down, it usually means the treatment is working.

- Help find out if a cancer has spread to other tissues.

- Help predict the likely outcome of your disease.

- Check if the cancer has come back after successful treatment.

- Screen people at high risk for cancer (eg. family history or previous diagnosis of another type of cancer).

Ganoderma and Cancer (YKC)

- Targets cancer from initial to terminal stage.

- Works for all kinds of common cancers.

- Enhance effectiveness of medication.

- Ease side effects of chemo.

- Helps maintain remission status (5 years).

7. Complete blood count

RBC = Men: 4.32-5.72 x 10^12/L. Women: 3.90-5.03 x 10^12/L

Haemoglobin (protein in RBC that carries oxygen) = Men: 13.5-17.5 g/L. Women: 12.0-15.5 g/L

Haematocrit (% of RBC in total blood volume) = Men: 38.8-50.0%. Women: 34.9-44.5%

WBC = 3.5-10.5 x 10^9/L

Platelets = 150-450 x 10^9/L

ESR (clumping of RBC when inflammation happens) = 0-10 mm/hr.

Abnormal levels may indicate:

- Nutritional deficiencies eg. vitamins B6, B12, iron.

- Heart problems eg. bone marrow, heart condition, cancer.

- High WBC - tissue inflammation or infection.

- High ESR - inflammation.

WBC differential count should total to 100%.

- Phagocytes = Granulocytes (Neutrophil 40-75% + Eosinophil 0-6% + Basophil 0-2%) + Macrophage + Dendritic cell + Mast cell.

- Lymphocyte 20-45% = T-cells + B-cells + NKC

- Monocyte 2-12%.

If the % is out of range, it indicates infection or inflammation in the body.

Ganoderma and Blood protection (A00003 - Taiwan Healthfood Act) (YKB)

(a) Capable of promoting production of antibodies.

Animal test: mice given ganoderma orally show an increase in IgA, IgB and IgG.

IgA is existing antibody, so its proliferation will naturally strengthen immunity. IgM and IgG imply that body can produce corresponding antibodies quickly when attacked by pathogens.

(b) Capable of promoting growth of immune cells.

Animal test: mice given ganoderma orally show an increase in T-cell and B-cell.

Reduce the occurrences of allergy symptoms.

(d) Capable of enhancing the vitality of NKC.

Animal test: mice given ganoderma show increased NKC activity.

(e) Capable of enhancing the vitality of phagocytes.

Conclusion

1. Blood tests offer an important snapshot of your overall health. They are also a good way to catch an illness or disease early or see how well your body responds to treatments for various conditions.

2. Get routine blood tests done at least once a year. Talk to your doctor to learn if there are any other tests you may need.

3. The improvement that's reflected in blood test results arising from consuming Ganoderma can be seen after 4-6 months of consistently consuming an appropriate dose.

Bone Fractures and Osteoporosis

2026-01-10T10:10:00.000+08:00

Osteoporosis is a disease that causes bones to become weak and brittle. It occurs when the creation of new bone can't keep up with the loss of old bone. The risk of osteoporosis is higher in people who are frail, underweight, small in built and post-menopausal women.

Many people think losing bone density and sustaining fractures are simply a natural part of the ageing process, but this is a Myth. Statistics show that 1 in 4 people who fall and fracture the hip will not survive beyond 12 months - which is worse than some cancer diagnoses! Unfortunately, despite its devastating effects, osteoporosis remains under-diagnosed and under-treated.

Factors affecting bone health include:

Nutrition - nutritional malabsorption, eating disorders.
Age - don't take solid food, don't chew well.
Hormones - post-menopausal.
Lifestyle - physical inactivity.
Pre-existing diseases - diabetes, thyroid disorders, rheumatoid arthritis.
Medications - steroids.

In osteoporosis, you can fracture the spine without having to fall. So if you bend over to pick up a pot of flowers or your grandchild, you may get back pain. This could be a sign of a fractured spine. It is essential to prevent even the first fracture, because once you have had one fracture, you're likely to experience another. There are medicines that can be tailored to suit all sorts of patients. However, for me, I won't take medicines to prevent osteoporosis.

I would choose Vitaking collagen.

Why? Because it is safe and doesn't have side effects. I have been drinking it consistently for over 15 years for maintenance and protection. However, when I sprained my ankle or twisted my shoulder, I increased the dose to enjoy the curative benefits.

Blood Brain Barrier, Epilepsy, Alzheimer and Parkinson Disease

2025-11-28T09:00:00.005+08:00

The Blood Brain Barrier functions to keep harmful organisms and substances out of our brain. But it's a double-edged sword as it can also prevent useful drugs from crossing in. Let's find out more..

Our brain is one of the most complex organs in our body. It weighs about 2% of our total body weight, but utilises about 20% of our energy. There are more than 100 billion brain cells which communicate by electrical impulses known as synapses.

The brain is shielded from an influx of harmful substances by a layer of endothelial cells called Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB). It provides a natural protective function to impede the entry of harmful substances into the central nervous system (CNS). The BBB regulates:

delivery of nutrients into the brain.
removal of unwanted toxins.
recruitment of leukocytes (WBC) to maintain normal brain homeostasis (balance).

A link to 3 conditions

Epilepsy is characterised by seizures. The frequency is higher in males. 20% of patients with epilepsy die from the condition. Seizures can promote amyloid-beta peptide deposits, which can result in Alzheimer and Parkinson.

A common form of treatment is through intrathecal injection (where the drug is injected into the spinal cord fluid via a lumbar puncture). However patients may suffer from frightening side effects of this procedure, including bleeding in the brain, infection and swelling of the brain.

As such, there is a growing interest in the use of nanoparticles to traverse through the BBB (as they are about 100 times smaller than the diameter of a strand of human hair). The most common applications of nanoparticles are in the cosmetics, food manufacturing and biomedical industries. The use of nanoparticles is especially promising as:

- Its mechanism does not affect the baseline permeability of the BBB.

- Nanoparticles bear naturally-occurring components to cross the BBB. They can evade recognition by the immune system and thus escape destruction in the event of inflammatory response.

Nanoparticles have been engineered to effectively transport drugs across the BBB by targeting receptors involved in endocytosis (a process by which a cell brings substances into itself).

Many studies have been carried out, such as:

(a) An animal study using rats, described the delivery of an anti-epileptic peptide, galanin, that is capable of inhibiting glutamate release in the hippocampus (thereby reducing the onset of seizures).

(b) A study targets the alpha-synuclein protein, which plays a role in Parkinson.

(c) An animal study assessed the inhibition of alpha-synuclein fibrillation and protection from the progressive loss of dopaminergic neutrons, in relation to Parkinson.

(d) In another study, researches have proven that alpha-synuclein can be prevented from activating in microglial cells via scavenger receptor CD36-binding nanoparticles.

(e) In an animal study of Parkinson, lipid nano carriers loaded with GDNF (glial cell derived neurotrophic factor) plasmids were combined with micro bubbles for MRI-guided focused ultrasound mediated effects that led to a reduction in nerve cell death and helped alleviate behavioural changes due to the disease.

The nose-to-brain route of administration could be a way to improve the delivery of drug-loaded particles to specific regions of the brain. Delivery via this route bypasses the BBB and enables direct delivery to the brain. The complication with this strategy is that:

(i) It requires the nanoparticles to have augmented properties, such as protecting the molecules within them from being destroyed or damaged in the nasal cavity; and

(ii) Nanoparticles need to get through the nose's mucosal barrier.

The clinical translation of nanoparticles (ie. nanoparticles approved for brain targeting and treatment) is difficult and demanding as it requires substantial time and effort.

Yung Kien C Ganoderma

The good news is Shuang Hor has successfully developed a product called Yung Kien C Ganoderma (YKC), which is effective for brain diseases. This is achievable because the ganoderic acid component in YKC has very small molecular structure and thus can pass through the BBB into the brain tissues. As such, YKC has a good effect on brain diseases such as seizures, epilepsy, Alzheimer and Parkinson. It is a breakthrough for Shuang Hor.

In an experiment, mice whose brain have been induced with Alzheimer are fed with YKC. The result shows YKC can improve the diseases that cause degeneration of brain neurons.

Other brain-related diseases which YKC can help include insomnia and depression.

On top of that, YKC is also proven to be effective on many types of cancer and across all 4 stages of cancer.

Bits & Bites #243 - Testimonies: Fever, Virus and Breathing Difficulty

2025-10-25T09:00:00.001+08:00

Clairault Streiker

Testimony: Fever

On March 2019, Ms M noticed that her colleague looked very pale. She has been having fever for 6 days. When she took panadol, the fever subsided but then returned. Usually, she only took 2 Lingzhi a day. Ms M recommended that she increased to 5 capsules in the morning + 5 at night. She was ok after 2 days.
Healing reaction - rash outbreak all over her face and body. It was likely due to discharge of toxins from lymph nodes.
She also had ulcers in her private part. She took 5-6 Lactoberry a day and her condition improved. She didn't need to see a gynae.

-----------------------------------

Testimony: Fever

A lady's young son had very high fever. Usually his temperature would go up during midnight. Previously, she would bring her son to the clinic to be treated. But one time, she decided to try let him try Lingzhi. It was not an easy decision but she did it anyway. She opened up the Lingzhi and Pollen capsules and mixed the powder with honey. Between 12 midnight to 7 am, she fed him 2 Yung Kien Ganoderma + 5 capsules Yung Kien Pollen, every hour. By 7 am, he started to sweat. She brought him to the clinic when it opened at 9am. The doctor said the temperature had subsided and she was very relieved that he didn't need to take any medicine.

-----------------------------------

Testimony: Low Body Temperature

A 32 year old lady from Sabah has very low body temperature of 34.5-35'C. She always feels cold. This lady already know since her teenage years that her body temperature is always around 35'C. At the age of 32, her liver condition was already very bad. Her face complexion looked very dark. She was always depressed because of her health condition. Her financial situation was also not good.

Despite that, she believed in Lingzhi and wanted to give it a try. Based on her affordability, she could only take 1 capsule Jia Hor Lingzhi a day. She only took for 1 day and by the next day, she reported that she was having fever. She was very happy about it because her fingers and feet have always felt cold since the age of 15. That was the first time that she felt the warm sensation all over her body, hands, feet and head. After 2 months, her complexion looked rosy. She had a lot of other healing reactions in between which she bravely handled them.

In fact, it's in her family history. Her whole family suffers from similar condition of low body temperature. Her brother survived a heart attack at the age of 26 and was on dialysis before 30. That's why it's very important to have healthy body temperature.

--------------------------------------

Testimony: H1N1 Influenza Virus

Ms S visited a friend whose 5-year old daughter has been infected with H1N1 virus. Ms S only knew about it subsequently. As she was seated within close proximity of the girl, when she got home, as a safety precaution, she consumed 4 YK1 + 2 Lactoberry. At night, she repeated the same dose. She did not have fever.

The next morning, she woke up feeling very weak. She quarantined herself at home and took another 4 YK1 + 2 Lactoberry. At 3 pm, she took a nap as her body still felt very tired. Amazingly, when she woke up at 5 pm, she felt the virus has gone and she was fully recovered.

---------------------------------

Testimony: Bone Eaten by Virus

A man's 80+ year old mother (who is very against Lingzhi) was a cancer patient. One day, her thumb suddenly became swollen, the nail had turned black and it was painful. X-ray showed that the bone has been eaten by bacteria. The flesh was still there but inside was hollow. When the doctor gave her very strong antibiotics, the son did not want to feed her due to her advanced age and past health history.

There is only 1 thing to be done - try to bring up her immune system in the shortest time period using Lingzhi. Her body constitution has always been on the cold side. The concern was whether she would take it as she was always so against Lingzhi. Fortunately, she agreed to take because she was told it's only for 3 days. Dosage was 2 Yung Kien Ganoderma every 2 hours.

After 2 days, the black part of her nail started to turn pinkish but the swelling has not gone down. Because of that, she decided on her own accord to take for another 2 days to see if the swelling would go down. After a total of 5 days, there was no more inflammation. She was very happy and from then on, decided to continue taking.

-----------------------------------

Testimony: Breathing Difficulty

Mr L's father, 85, was admitted to the hospital on 4 Jan 2019 at 4 am for breathing difficulty. The doctor said it could be TB or pneumonia. But they were quite sure it cannot be the case because he took a test about 3-4 months earlier. The doctor did a re-test and confirmed it was not.

The right lung was infected - could be virus or bacteria - the doctor could not determine which was it. He was a non-smoker.

He was put on intravenous antibiotic drips every 6 hours for almost 2 weeks. Mr L quietly fed him with 1 Yung Kien Ganoderma2 + 3 Yung Kien Pollen every 4-5 hours. He was also taking 1 Lactoberry every 6 hours and 2 Vitaking / day.

On the 10th day, Mr L wanted to discharge his father. The doctor said he can only consider that on the condition that he went for another x-ray to see if there is any improvement in his right lung. The x-ray turned out to be good news. His lung had cleared up and he was able to be discharged 4 days earlier than targeted.

Video: Gout, Uric Acid and 3-High Diseases

2025-10-11T09:43:00.002+08:00

Do you know gout, uric acid and 3-High diseases can harm your kidney?

I have made a little video which shows that there is a significant improvement in levels of uric acid, blood urea nitrogen and creatinine levels after taking YKS Lingzhi. Another good news is, YKS is proven to protect the kidneys of people with 3-High diseases (high blood pressure, high cholesterol and high blood sugar).

Exclusive: 2025 Q&A Sessions After Site Visit to Shuang Hor Greenhouse and Factory

2025-10-04T09:00:00.002+08:00

Yung Kien Plant with Dr Chen Deng-Hai

After our tour of the Lingzhi Technology Park and Yung Kien Plant, we were offered Q&A opportunities with various experts, including Dr Chen Deng-Hai. Here are a sample of some questions and responses..

Q. Some manufacturers promote "cracked spores" as a premium product and sometimes even more valuable than fruiting body or mycelium. What is your view?

A. Cracking the shell doesn't guarantee that the spore powder is pure, potent or standardised. Many cracked spore products do not disclose the percentage of triterpenoids, beta-glucan or whether they contain any fillers. "Cracked spores" is often a marketing term, often used without chemical analysis or quality proof.

Q. Why do YKK and YKS taste different?

A. YKK is in powder form while YKS is in tablet form. The different form results in different taste, as something need to be added to the tablets to shape them. Also, the surface exposure of the tongue to powder is higher than tablets. So you may feel YKK is more bitter than YKS. But in actual fact, both contain the same effective constituents. YKK/S is the only strain from YK-02. All the others are manufactured from YK-01 strain.

Q. Why include Lactoberry when taking Lingzhi?

A. Because Lingzhi is absorbed in the GI tract. Lactoberry help cleanse the GI tract and make it healthier. This helps increase the absorption rate and effectiveness of Lingzhi.

Q. How long does it take before the Lingzhi can be harvested?

Q. What to take for eczema / atopic dermatitis for most effective results?

Q. What to take for prostate enlargement problem?

Q. What to take for people with GI problems?

Exclusive: 2025 Site Visit - Shuang Hor Greenhouse Park and Yung Kien Factory

2025-09-23T10:37:00.000+08:00

Yung Kien Plant - list of Quality & Safety inspection items that
Lingzhi has to undergo before reaching the consumers

This marks my 5th visit to Shuang Hor's Lingzhi Biotechnology Greenhouse Park and Yung Kien Factory. My last visit was 10 years ago. The feeling is different yet familiar. This time, when I stepped into the Greenhouse Park and Factory, I still remember and recognise many areas but I also noticed many changes and additions.

Same

What remain the same are:

> Everything in the premise is still as neat and clean as ever, including the chairs, floor and toilets.

> The management and staff are still as friendly, kind and helpful as ever.

> The hospitality is still as warm as ever, from welcoming us with a cup of tea and a smile when we arrived, to waving goodbye to our bus when we left.

Different

> Each time there was something different to see and something new to experience. We got the opportunity to enter inside the Greenhouse and walk among the Lingzhi. Another time, we could enter the Factory floor area. In this trip we finally get to see the Target Lingzhi area.

> I noticed changes and updates in the signboards hanging in the Park, to include the 5 new Greenhouses constructed since my last visit. In the Museum in the Factory, new exhibits were added to reflect the inclusion of Target Lingzhi.

> I would say the most exciting and significant difference in this trip is finally being allowed to tour the area where the Equivalent Target Lingzhi is manufactured. It was initially kept very confidential. We were told it's only opened for viewing this year. I was so excited to be the privileged first batch of visitors to witness with my own eyes this special area.

My feelings

I feel secure in the knowledge that Shuang Hor produces everything with the utmost care and therefore, all the products are guaranteed to be safe and effective, and can be used for a wide range of health problems. So I have the confidence to continue sharing this solution with friends and people in need.

There is indeed a feeling of pride and belonging to be part of this company which upholds ethics and integrity. It gives me a lot of assurance that I have made the right decision to choose Shuang Hor Lingzhi as my "doctor". As we age, our body become weaker. When we fall sick, it's harder and takes longer to recover. So taking care of health (instead of treating diseases when they befall us) becomes more and more important so we can continue to lead an active life after retirement.

Exclusive: 2025 Visit - Video on the Manufacturing & Production of Lingzhi in Yung Kien Factory

2025-09-20T09:00:00.002+08:00

During my 5th visit to Yung Kien Factory in Tainan, Taiwan, we were first shown a short video prior to the guided site visit. Below is a transcript and screenshots of the video.

Yung Kien Factory, Tainan

Doublecrane is the world's leading Lingzhi brand. For the past 30 years, we have dedicated ourselves to research and development into Lingzhi efficacy, and insisted that every step of the process, from strain R&D, cultivation, patented production, to marketing, is done by ourselves. This is to ensure that every Doublecrane Lingzhi product is of supreme quality on the global level for our customers.

With that goal in mind, Tainan was chosen as the location for the Yung Kien plant for the region's pleasant climate. The plant meets the specification of pharmaceutical plants and adopts international standards for procedures.

It is the largest professional Lingzhi production plant in the world. The 2-hectare plant is responsible for the production of all of Doublecrane's Lingzhi and related products from start to finish. From raw materials to production, our unique key technologies lock in the Lingzhi's active ingredients, to create effective and safe products.

Doublecrane upholds the corporate philosophy of manufacturing products of the highest quality. We have a Bio-Tech R&D Institute staffed by professional biotech and food scientists, and equipped with various advanced analysis equipment, including:

> Evaporative Light Scattering Detector (ELSD), measuring Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharide content to ensure sufficient active polysaccharide ingredients in all Lingzhi products.

> High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) - measuring Ganoderic acids or Lucidenic acid content to ensure product efficacy.

Exclusive: 2025 Visit - Video on the Cultivation of Lingzhi in Yung Kien Greenhouse Farm

2025-09-17T09:30:00.001+08:00

During my 5th visit to Doublecrane Lingzhi Biotechnology Park (greenhouse farm) in Tainan, Taiwan, we were first shown a short video prior to the guided site visit. Below is a transcript and screenshots of the video.

Lingzhi has been termed as a top medicine and can promote longevity and consolidate body base. The Doublecrane group is a global leader in Lingzhi biotechnology, and has been focused on Lingzhi researches to explore the medical efficacies of Lingzhi for more than 30 years.

Baihe District, Tainan City

We choose to establish the Doublecrane Lingzhi Biotechnology Park in the Baihe region of Tainan because of the region's pleasant weather and fresh air. The amicable environment allows for the best Lingzhi to be harvested. Spanning over 5 hectares, the Park is home to the world's first Lingzhi incubation center. With an Experimental Greenhouse and 12 computer-controlled greenhouses, Doublecrane is able to supply the global Lingzhi market with premium raw materials.

Lingzhi greenhouse

The 2 biggest difficulties in Lingzhi research are species R&D and cultivation management. Out of the over 200 species of Lingzhi in the world, fewer than 20 can be used as raw materials. In other words, the strain is the key to determine the efficacy of Lingzhi.

Furthermore, R&D, reproduction and cultivation of various species, are core to Lingzhi biotechnology. After many years of reproduction and R&D, as well as DNA analysis, medium testing and experimental greenhouse cultivation, we have selected strains with the most potential to cultivate in our greenhouses.

By observing different stages of growth, and through many trials and errors, we have identified the best conditions for Lingzhi growth. These results are used as important indicators in Lingzhi mass cultivation. This is also a very important step in the quality control of the Lingzhi spawn.

Spawn preparation & regeneration

After strains have been chosen, the next step is to set up the proposal for mass production. First of all, every step of the inoculation process must be completely bacteria-free to avoid contamination.

What is Leaky Brain?

2025-07-19T09:30:00.001+08:00

"Leaky brain" occurs when the blood-brain barrier (BBB) breaks down. The BBB is composed of blood vessels and cells called astrocytes. They work together to prevent pollutants, toxins, antibodies and dietary proteins from entering the brain and causing inflammation.

Symptoms of leaky brain include:

Brain fog
Difficulty concentrating
Brain fatigue
Lack of motor coordination
Depression
Lowered mental endurance.

Causes of BBB breakdown include:

Chronic inflammatory and autoimmune disorders like SLE, Hashimoto's disease and rheumatoid arthritis
Inflammatory bowel diseases and chronic gut inflammation
Traumatic brain injury
Lack of exercise
Alcohol abuse
Chronic sleep disruption
Long-term use of corticosteroids
Sedentary lifestyle
Decreased blood flow.

How to diagnosis leaky brain problem?

Elevated levels of a marker called S100B.
Increased levels of protein antibodies in the brain, which indicate increased permeability.
Celiac disease and gluten-sensitive sufferers are at higher risk.

How to improve a leaky brain?

1. Eliminate gluten

This is because gluten increases a protein called zonulin, which contributes to leaky gut and leaky brain.

2. Avoid alcohol

Studies suggest that alcohol can damage and weaken the BBB, resulting in neuroinflammation.

3. Increase good bacteria in your gut

There is a link between your brain and gut. You can improve your BBB and heal your leaky brain by increasing the amount of good bacteria (probiotics) in your digestive system.

Take a look at the unique ingredients of Lactoberry probiotics and why it is a smart choice..

http://www.pingofhealth.com/2011/10/uniqueness-of-lacto-berry-probiotics.html

4. Exercise

Brain and nerve cells are maintained by aerobic exercise, which increases a protein called BDNF. It has a key role in the survival and growth of neurons, which are essential for learning and memory.

5. Improve sleep

In order for BBB to function optimally, you should get at least 7 hours of high-quality, restorative sleep every night.

Bits & Bites #242 - Testimonies: Stomach Metaplasia, H.Pylori, Gastric, Bloated Stomach and Constipation

2025-06-28T09:30:00.002+08:00

Byblos

Testimony: Stomach Metaplasia and H. Pylori Bacteria

Ms Y's mother was 73 years old. She is generally healthy. She does qi gong exercise everyday. Sometime late 2016, she complained of a dull ache in her stomach. In early Dec 2016, the doctor in Sg Buloh hospital advised her to go for an operation for a condition called stomach metaplasia and the doctor proposed a procedure called a distal gastrectomy. Stomach metaplasia is mutated cells with a 30-40% risk of the cells turning cancerous. She was also diagnosed as having H. Pylori bacteria and was put on antibiotics.

She had another appointment with the doctor on 6 Dec 2016. The doctor said there was no other option and the operation should be done as soon as possible before her mother gets stomach cancer. The operation was expected to take 4 hours if there were complications. General anaesthetic would be involved hence the anaesthesiologist's approval would be needed to confirm whether her mother can proceed with the operation. The risk during GA (as she would be under induced paralysis) was it would affect certain organs. The risk of the gastrectomy operation was leaking, bleeding and infections. They were reluctant to proceed with the operation even though the doctor was pressing them to. It was a stressful time and it was during Christmas period.

Meanwhile, they went for a second opinion at UMMC 3 days later. He would do another scope scheduled for 5 Jan 2017.
During those 3 weeks before the scope, to boost her immune system and prepare her body for the operation if needed, she consumed 20 capsules Yung Kien Ganoderma + 5 sachets Yung Kien Pollen + 6 sachets Jia Hor Soya Protein + 9 sachets Lactoberry everyday, divided into several times a day. She felt very energetic and had better bowel movements. Her skin was also more radiant.

On 22 Dec 2016, the Sg Buloh doctor confirmed she still had H. Pylori bacteria.
But when she went to UMMC for the scope on 5 Jan 2017, no more H. Pylori could be detected. The intestinal metaplasia was still there, but this time, the doctor said no operation was needed, only yearly scope to monitor the situation. Ms Y was very grateful that her mother was willing to take at that high dosage and thus was able to avoid the risk of operation.

------------------------------------

Testimony: Gastric and Bloated Stomach

Ms F, 26 years old, works as a coffee barista. She takes breakfast everyday before work because she knows that the nature of her work which requires her to drink 6-10 cups of espresso every day (to check that the flavour is up to requirement), is very harmful to her stomach. As she was not able to eat lunch during lunch hour, after 4-5 years of such lifestyle, she started to suffer from gastric and bloated stomach problem. Her stomach either bloats up after just swallowing a bit of food or she would feel discomfort from the bloating and thus has no appetite to eat. As such, she would end up not eating anything the whole day.

She didn't take any medication. Her friend introduced her to start taking 6 sachets Jia Hor Soya Protein + 6 sachets Lactoberry + 4 sachets Yung Kien Pollen a day. She takes the Protein before meal hours, around 11-12 am, then 3-4 pm and again before sleep (or next morning before drinking her espresso). As for Pollen, she takes it any time. She feels very good, energetic, no more bloated stomach and gastric, and she has radiant skin. When she gets gastric attacks, she would take 2 sachets Protein with 200 ml warm water. 15 minutes later, she feels release from the gastric pain.

Since April 2017, she started to include 6 capsules Jia Hor Lingzhi in her routine.
Vertigo reaction: Bloated stomach and vomiting. She could not go to work and was curled up in bed. She mix 30 ml warm water + 1 Protein + 2-4 Lingzhi, shake and drank immediately. She felt relief after 10 minutes. She kept taking Lactoberry, every hour. Even though she had no appetite for the whole day, she still felt energetic. On the next day she was well enough to go to work already.

--------------------------------------

Testimony: Constipation and Healing Reaction

A 7-year old girl in Sabah used to take a very long time to finish her meal. She would run around between mouthfuls, sometimes dragging the meal times to an hour. She suffers from bloated stomach (which made her drag out her mealtimes) and constipation problem.
When she was first introduced to Lactoberry, she had a healing reaction. Her mouth and body broke out into rashes after taking only 1 sachet. She had diarrhoea and passed out sticky, smelly stools.
The reason is her colon was full of bad bacteria due to her prolonged constipation. This resulted in stomach bloatedness and lack of appetite. The little girl reported to her mother that she actually felt better despite numerous trips to the toilet and hence her mother allowed her to continue taking Lactoberry. The diarrhoea lasted almost 1 week.
Note: The 2 strains of probiotics contained in Lactoberry are those which our body already have. Thus Lactoberry is simply supplementing what is already in our body. It does not cause any harm unlike certain types of probiotic products in the market.

---------------------------------

Testimony: Milk Poisoning

Mr P drank milk that was spoilt. The next morning, he had diarrhoea. So he quickly took 3 Lactoberry at 8 am then went to work. Usually after diarrhoea, one would feel very weak. But he didn't even though he had diarrhoea 3 times. He still had energy and could still work. Fortunately, it was Saturday where he worked only half day. When he got home, he took another 5 Lactoberry. In fact, he took 5 Lactoberry every couple of hours and finished a whole box in the day. By night time, after another round in the toilet, his digestive tract has regulated as he felt normal already.

-------------------------------------

Testimony: Diabetes and Constipation

Mr L likes to eat a lot of seafood and meat. He was 88kg in the past. His stools were always sticky and very smelly. He didn't feel well. When he went to see doctor, he was diagnosed with diabetes, with a reading of 14-16 mmol/L. The small wound in his leg became a big wound. He took 2 Lactoberry + 2 Jia Hor Fiber each time. He consumed it 3 times a day.
After 1-2 weeks, the quality of the stools became normal. The wound recovered after 3 weeks. His bloated feeling and blood sugar reading also improved. He is very happy with Shuang Hor products.

------------------------------------

Testimony: Constipation

Ms M's friend, from Miri, is the mother of a little boy who has very weak body constitution. Since birth, he already has a lot of health issues, including constipation. He would sit on the potty for 3-4 hours but nothing would come out. That caused great discomfort and pain in his stomach. He had to take antibiotics every week because of fever. The whole family was extra anxious about him as he is the only male grandchild in the family.

His mother secretly fed him Lactoberry, and his appetite improved. From there, she attended some seminars to find out more and wanted him to take Lingzhi. But the grandmother was very against Lingzhi as they heard a lot of negative things about it. However, the daughter-in-law, being educated, did her own research and believed Lingzhi could help.

So she started to feed him Lingzhi, Pollen and Lactoberry. Within a month, from a scrawny, unhealthy boy, he put on weight and looked better. Previously the mother had to chase him around to feed him. But now, he willingly sat there to be fed. He can pass motion within 3 minutes. The grandmother was very happy with the improvement but still insisted that he should not take Lingzhi.

Bits & Bites #241 - Testimonies: Eyes and General Health Maintenance

2025-05-21T10:11:00.008+08:00

Below I share 2 testimonies related to eyes and 2 more testimonies on how to take Shuang Hor products for general health maintenance. Some people experience healing reactions but don't worry, it is temporary and indicates that you're on the road back to better health.

Testimony: Burst Blood Vessel in the Eye

Madam M from Kota Kinabalu suffered from a burst blood vessel in her eye, resulting in bleeding (as can be seen from the photo above). She takes a mix of 1 sachet YK I-Plus + 1 sachet JH Soya Protein + 1 sachet Lactoberry + 1 sachet Pollen Granular, all mixed into a Shake and drunk with water. She consumes this shake 3 times a day, before meals.

A very good recovery can be observed after only 3 days of consumption.

-------------------------------------

Testimony: Eye cataract

Madam L from Keningau, Sabah suffers from eye cataract. She often feels pain, stinging sensation, glare, and red eyes. Doctor suggested operation but she didn't want to. She started to take Yung Kien Eye (tablet form) since May 2020 but due to the pandemic, her supply was cut off when stocks ran out. She continued when YK I-Plus was launched in Malaysia.

Dosage: 1 sachet in the morning + 1 in the evening, mixed with a bit of water and drunk immediately.

The condition of her eyes continues to improve. She doesn't feel pain, glare, stinging sensation nor has red eyes. Her cataract is also improving.

--------------------------------------

Testimony: General Health Maintenance - Healing Reactions

Ms L, 42, is a business woman juggling a busy work life with 3 young children. She doesn't have major health problem. She goes for yoga and regular exercise. But over the years, she has constipation problem, difficulty sleeping due to stress and feeling very tired towards early evening. She started on a low dose of 1 capsule Yung Kien Ganoderma + 2 capsules Yung Kien Pollen each time, twice a day, for maintenance.

After just 1 day, she had a healing reaction of slight reddish discharge which increased to bleeding with slight cramps after 2 days, but light. Over the next few days, her temper was very bad, her body felt heaty, she felt very, very tired and she could sleep well without sleeping pills.

After 1 week, she had more frequent urination despite drinking similar quantity of water, sometimes getting up twice a night to go to toilet.

After 10 days, she increased her dose to 2 Yung Kien Ganoderma + 4 Yung Kien Pollen each time, twice a day. Her healing reaction was eczema in the face near the ear and cheeks area 3 days later. It was very itchy. She believes it's a cleansing reaction of past similar condition and hence continued with the dosage.

----------------------------------------

Testimony: General Health Maintenance for the Elderly

Ms J's father is 83 and has been taking Shuang Hor products since he was 75. He stays in Melaka. When Ms J took Lingzhi, she found that it helped put her blood pressure under control so she introduced it to her father. He has been on hypertension medication for several years. He maintains his dosage of 2 capsules Yung Kien Lingzhi + 5 capsules Yung Kien Pollen until today. Within the year, when he went for his medical checkup, the doctor cut his hypertension medication due to the improvement of his blood pressure.

Last year, her father's weight dropped from 55kg to 48kg. His waist measurement dropped from 31 to 28 inches. He looked skinny. He stepped up on his consumption of Jia Hor Soya Protein from 1 to 3 sachets a day. Within 3 months, he put on about 3kg and 1.5 inches. It was a good progress because the dose of the other products remained the same.

He took just 1 Lactoberry a day. After 3-4 months, he did not have intolerance when taking curry laksa - his IBS has improved.

In early June 2019, he had palpitation issue that he was quite worried about. He sounded lethargic. He increased his Lingzhi to 6 capsules/day. He felt okay after just 2 days of this dose.

Even though he took low dosage, he can maintain his quality of life (without resorting to too much medicine) and mobility. Ms J opines that as long as we take consistently everyday, regardless of dosage, we will see result.

Vitaking2 - Ingredients and Benefits

2025-03-22T09:00:00.013+08:00

Shuang Hor launched Vitaking in 2007. Driven by a spirit of innovation to continuously improve and deliver better products, Shuang Hor launched Vitaking2 (March 2025 in Malaysia and May 2025 in Singapore), with an upgraded formula. Vitaking2 retains the essence of the original Vitaking, with the inclusion of additional nutrients for enhanced protection.

Role of Collagen and Calcium

As we age, our skin loses its elasticity and radiance, fine lines and wrinkles appear, our bone density decrease. This is due to the slow down in collagen synthesis. Calcium, which is a key component in maintaining bone density, interacts with collagen to keep bones strong and flexible.

If calcium in bones is likened to bricks, collagen acts as the cement that holds them firmly together. Collagen helps retain calcium within the bones and also increases their flexibility and resilience.

Further, collagen is vital for cartilage health, reducing friction between bones during movement.

> D-Ribose - source of energy at cellular level, providing the energy needed and restoring it for reconstructive work in both heart and muscles.

> Calcium phosphate, Tricalcium phosphate - highly water-dispersible and easily absorbed by the body, helps protect bone health and support muscle contraction.

> Olive leaf extract - rich in phytonutrients, which help increase the number and vitality of osteoblast and cartilage cells, promoting development of bones and joints.

> Apple juice powder - enhance the refreshing taste.
