Regine and Ogie’s ‘next normal’ defense tips

The Alcasids agree that being extra cautious with health has been the norm these past few years and will continue to be so even at this crossroads. 

Returning to old routines can still prove worrying even as most everyone has already started life experiences with face-to-face social interactions.

The question on everyone’s minds remains, “How can we stay on top of our health and continue to keep ourselves defended with the changes around us?”

With the evolving landscape of health in the world, Vicks Philippines introduces their first-ever vitamins, Ascorbic Acid + Zinc + Cholecalciferol (Vicks Immune Defense) to help provide daily immune support, along with proper diet and exercise. It contains a combination of Vitamin C (as Sodium Ascorbate), Zinc, and even high-strength Vitamin D.

As hands-on parents with full-time jobs, celebrity couple Regine Velasquez and Ogie Alcasid offer some answers.

“We eat healthy, get enough rest and sleep, a little bit of exercise, and of course take vitamins daily,” Alcasid starts off.

Excitedly, he shares, “We’ve always turned to Vicks to help us out — a brand that our family has loved and trusted for so many years — and now they have a new product to help support our immune defenses.”

Wife Velasquez fills in the rest of the details, “Being a mom, we always want the best for our family. I like researching the things I give my family, especially regarding health. So for vitamins, we’ve started taking Ascorbic Acid + Zinc + Cholecalciferol or Vicks Immune Defense because it contains the three vitamins and minerals we look for.”

Instead of taking separate tablets to get Vitamin C, Zinc, and Vitamin D, the couple is happy to find a “3-in-1 vitamin” product for their daily dose of immune boosters.

Vitamin C and Zinc have long been known to help boost the immune system. Vitamin D, or Cholecalciferol, on the other hand, has gained popularity recently due to discoveries about its key role in innate immunity, which is the body’s frontline response to novel pathogens. Vitamin D helps regulate the production of harmful substances and modulates our body’s response to inflammation, thus helping our immune system fight infections.

The Alcasids agree that being extra cautious with health has been a norm these past few years, and for them, it will continue to be so even at this crossroads.

“Being healthy is like an investment, and with people relying on us, it’s important for us to continuously take care of ourselves, so we can take care of our family and pursue our passions,” they enthused.
