The Base, by For Youth – Best Anti-Ageing Health Supplements
We all want to live long, healthy and happy lives. But as we grow older, we age. While ageing causes small issues, like wrinkles, it is also the root cause of many more serious ailments like cancer, brain and heart disease.
Scientists have recently made a lot of progress in understanding ageing and finding ways to slow down or even reverse it. There’s no miracle cure available yet, but there’s already a lot that’s proven to help against ageing.
For Youth is a Singaporean longevity company making these latest scientific developments available in South East Asia. Their flagship product, The Base, is a dietary supplement containing NMN, or Nicotinamide Mononucleotide. NMN has gained a lot of popularity in recent years due to the work of Harvard professor David Sinclair. In his top-selling book Lifespan (2019), he explains the progress of the science of ageing and NMN is playing the lead role.
Put simply, ageing is cell damage. NMN is a substance that naturally occurs in our bodies and it boosts levels of a compound called NAD+. And while NAD+ is necessary for the repair of cellular damage, its levels decrease as we grow older.
NMN as found in The Base, is made from vegetable extracts - one capsule of 250 mg of 99% pure NMN contains the equivalent amount of almost 40 kg of broccoli!
This NMN helps to increase your energy levels, makes your mind function better and also improves the appearance of your skin. A lot of users even report that they have better sleep while on these health supplements. *
In March 2021, For Youth will also launch a biological age test to measure how old your body really is, based on the health of your cells. This test can be done stand alone, but it can also to see whether your anti-ageing therapies are actually working.
For Youth is funded by Singaporean startup incubator Antler. To learn more about For Youth, check out www.foryouth.co or follow them on Instagram.
*It is recommended that you take NMN for 2-3 months to start noticing the first visible effects.
Xndo Viscerin - Best Health Supplement To Burn Visceral Fat
Xndo is a subsidiary of ONI Global Group – one of Asia’s largest speciality retailers of nutritional products, vitamin, mineral, herbal and other speciality supplements and sports nutrition, diet and energy products. The health food retailer offers a range of tasty ready-to-eat meals, low-carb noodles, low GI rice, carbo blocking drinks, functional foods, supplements and more to meet modern lifestyle needs, tackle health concerns, and build a Body For Life.
What is visceral fat? Also known as organ fat, visceral fat is stored around your internal organs in your abdominal region, including your heart, liver and intestines. Healthy levels of visceral fat in our body help insulate and protect these organs. However, storing excess visceral fat can be concerning, posing potential cardiovascular and liver health problems.
One of the biggest factors that contribute to the amount of visceral fat in the body is a diet high in carbohydrates and sugar. Visceral fat can often go unnoticed because it lies beneath the firm abdominal wall and may not be visible from one’s outer physical appearance.
Xndo Viscerin is a specially formulated proprietary blend of potent and scientifically proven ingredients that help burn visceral fat and boost metabolism to promote fat burn.
If you occasionally feel bloated and puffy, Xndo Viscerin also helps to reduce water retention to minimise excessive fluid build-up.
Best taken on an empty stomach before breakfast and bedtime, Xndo Viscerin comes in strawberry flavour in powder form. It is halal-certified too and suitable for those who want to support their healthy weight management programme.
The Xndo Viscerin Visceral Fat Burner comes in 30 sticks per box, and is retailing in all Xndo stores and on Xndo’s webstore at 40% OFF (Usual Price: S$99.95/box).
Xndo Coconut Oil Extract To Aid Weight Management
Ever heard of the potential health and weight loss benefits of Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT)? MCT are a form of healthy fats that can help with weight management. Extracted from coconut oil, they are readily broken down and converted into energy without being stored as body fat. Hence, foods containing MCT aid weight loss and keto diets.
The Xndo Coconut Oil Extract - MCT Enhanced Fat Burner is a tasty, smooth and fine powder (not liquid coconut oil) that conveniently comes in individual sticks and can be consumed on its own anytime, anywhere or as a midday snack. You can also add it into your morning coffee, tea or smoothie to help kick off your day in fat-burning mode or into your pre or post-workout shakes to improve performance and recovery. To eat with your keto meal, simply sprinkle the coconut oil extract powder over to add some extra healthy fat.
The Coconut Oil Extract - MCT Enhanced Fat Burner has been specially formulated to boost satiety, burn fats and calories, and promote gut health. It is lacto-vegetarian-friendly, Halal-certified, and has no added preservatives, making it a suitable health supplement for those who want to support their healthy weight management programme.

Rejuvant LifeTabs
Looking for the best health supplements for anti-ageing? Rejuvant LifeTabs is brought to you by BioTech firm Regenosis which commits to its mission to extend healthspan. This health supplement not only caters to the elderly but also to anyone who wants to live a healthy life, similar to their prime years, as it boosts vitality and protects against age-related degenerative diseases that might affect one's health in the future.
Our bodies typically produce high quantities of calcium-AKG until the age of 40, essential for cell proliferation, wound healing, and the development of muscular tissue. Even so, natural production sharply declines beyond age 40, and this deficiency significantly contributes to ageing. Rejuvant LifeTabs solves this issue by supplying our bodies with more Calcium-AKG.
Rejuvant LifeTabs, which uses Calcium-AKG, is the only health supplement available in the market that has been clinically proven to reverse biological age by 7 to 8 years. With several formulas available for men and women, Rejuvant LifeTabs also tackles needs that are particular to each gender.
Rejuvant LifeTabs are available for purchase on Shopee and come in Men’s and Women’s formulas.

LAC MASQUELIER French Pine Bark Extract To Combat The Signs of Ageing
LAC (Leader in Antioxidative Control) was founded to deliver powerful antioxidants through their products to support your everyday health and wellness.
As we bustle around our busy schedules, we often leave little time for our bodies to rest. This exposes us to free radicals which damage our cells and cause our internal systems to become unbalanced. This excessive exposure to free radicals, known as oxidative stress, can lead to age-related changes in appearance such as loss of skin elasticity, wrinkles, and poor circulation – all of which can lead to premature ageing.
Combining the best of what Eastern wisdom and Western technology have to offer, LAC MASQUELIER’s® French Pine Bark Extract is a powerful immune booster that harnesses the antioxidative qualities of the French pine tree for your total body protection.
Each tablet helps you to get a convenient dose of antioxidants through a safe and unique three-way action protection that: neutralise free radicals in our body to slow down ageing; improve overall blood circulation and accelerate the drainage of waste materials from our body; and strengthen and retain collagen for supple and elastic skin.
LAC MASQUELIER’s® French Pine Bark Extract is retailing in all GNC stores and on LAC’s e-commerce store from S$46 for a box of 25 tablets.
