Heads up! Gary V on Novu Hair : putting energy into prevention

Nothing describes Gary Valenciano quite like his moniker "Pure Energy." He is the very image of youthful vibrance, whether onstage or not. That's why it shouldn't come as a surprise that he values the way he looks the same way that he values the core of who he is: a prayerful, faithful husband, dependable father, and an outstanding entertainer.

Part of what makes Gary stay young looking is his head of hair. What many people don't know is that, like all other men his age, gary once worried about hair thinning and hair loss. That's why, at the first signs of the problem, Gary sought to find ways to prevent it from becoming worse.

"I forst noticed the hair loss in the shower, after I toweled my hair dry. Then one day, my team of hairstylists noticed that my hair was thinning, too. That's when they told me to look for the product that Fanny Serrano was using, a product called NOVUHAIR, remarked by Gary on his journey to regaining control over his hair loss.

NOVUHAIR is a topical scalp lotion that is a unique combination of 14 different natural ingredients and essential oils for a healthier hair and scalp. One of the factors of hair loss, according to studies, is stress, something that Gary experiences on almost a daily basis. Other factors include hereditary disorders, a persistent illness, major surgery, hormonal problems, childbirth & delivery, medications, infections, pollutants, and even excessive exposure to sunlight. And contrary to popular belief, hair loss is as much a problem for women as it is for men. In many cases, hair loss may be prevented or alleviated through early detection. In the case of Gary, his decision to try NOVUHAIR to prevent his symptoms from worsening made a big difference, and within a few months, he saw remarkable results.

Gary shares his experience with NOVUHAIR as he tells the story of their family hair history. "Hair loss runs in our family, too, even if sometimes skips a generation. My brother and grandfather both lost their hair, but my dad still has a full head of hair t 87. I just wanted to make sure I take control of my symptoms. Now, I use NOVUHAIR everyday, and I've noticed that I don't shed as much hair as I did before, especially after toweling my hair dry. And my hairstylists noticed it, too. I love using NOVUHAIR because this has this minty, cool effect that makes me feel like my hair is always clean and fresh.

"In less than a month and a half, I already saw results even if I was told to wait three to four months before I can see a difference. The effects on me were much faster. There were fewer strands on my white towel, which basically was within the normal boundaries of hair loss for an average person. Before using NOVUHAIR, I used to shed more." This is due to the fact that NOVUHAIR penetrates deep to help rejuvenate, nourish, & maintain moisture in the scalp and hair. By improving the blood circulation in the scalp, NOVUHAIR helps stimulate hair growth and aid in preventing further, excessive hair fall, while also improving the overall appearance of the hair.

"I never endorse a product that I did not experience first. I have to make sure it is really contributed to me, peace of mind and overall well-being. And, heads up, as Novuhair is now part of my daily routine, which includes prayer, diet, and medication. God has truly lived up to his promise in my life, and as He says in Psalm 92:14 'I will keep you fruitful even in old age. Fresh and green.'I am very happy now that Novuhair is a part of that."

NOVUHAIR Nature's Answer to Hair Loss is available in all Mercury Drug outlets, Watsons, Rose Pharmacy, South Star Drug & Mansion Drug, Mettro Gaisano Pharmacy, The Landmark (Makati & Trinoma), J Centre Mall (Cebu), KCC Malls (Gen.

AjiPanda™: Your Best Friend in the Kitchen

Ever since I was a kid I used to see Ajinomoto products in our kitchen. Perhaps my mom's secret we always have a hearty meal. Since then, Ajinomoto is a must have in my own home.

AjiPanda™ is a cute panda icon that conveys someone shy, caring, happy and loyal. It personifies how a humble pack or bottle of AJI-NO-MOTO® Umami Seasoning fills the role of "Your Best Friend in the Kitchen" by offering an ever-reliable way of bringing out the natural goodness of food.

Ajinomoto's new campaign, which also features teen queen Kathryn Bernardo, presents the benefits of its dependable brand of seasoning to a new generation of cooks and food lovers.

AJI-NO-MOTO® comes from sugar cane, corn or cassava and is manufactured through the natural process of fermentation. This product is safe, convenient and effective in making food taste delicious.

This is because it is simply free glutamate, the most common among amino acids (the building blocks of protein). It provides the taste of umami to food in the same way that sugar adds sweet taste or salt adds salty taste to food.

But what is umami? Umami, is the fifth basic taste alongside sweet, sour, bitter, and salty. It is the savory, rich and full taste we often experience in meat, seafood, cheese, tomatoes and mushrooms.

Consider the delightful composition of chicken, green papaya and malunggay in tinola or the medley of cheese, ham, pepperoni, tomatoes, green and red bell peppers on top of a pizza. The combinations and layers of these glutamate-rich ingredients make dishes very delicious and enjoyable.

Remember that AjiPanda™, your best friend in the kitchen, will help work wonders in your cooking so that you can share many happy meals with your family.
