Boost Wellness Daily with LAC Antioxidant Support

As a mom, I know all too well how hectic life can get. Between early school runs, work deadlines, traffic, chores, and trying to squeeze in even just a bit of “me time,” meal prep often ends up rushed—or skipped altogether. Quick-fix meals like fast food, canned goods, and processed snacks have become part of our regular rotation, simply because they’re fast, easy, and affordable.

But recently, I came across the 2023 National Nutrition Survey, and it honestly made me pause. It said almost 4 in 10 Filipino adults are now overweight or obese. What really hit me though was that even our kids are affected—nearly 1 in 10 Filipino children now fall into that category, and the numbers keep rising.

As a mom, that’s alarming.

It’s Not Just About Choice — It’s the Food Environment

Let’s be honest, we don’t always choose unhealthy food out of laziness. Often, it’s what’s available, budget-friendly, or aggressively marketed to us and our kids. Have you seen the number of ultra-processed snacks, cereals, and sugary drinks lining grocery shelves? They’re everywhere—and worse, they’re often more appealing to kids than fruits and vegetables.

A UNICEF report confirmed that Filipino children are eating less nutritious food and more sugar, salt, and fat than ever before. And this doesn’t just lead to weight gain. These types of food cause silent damage inside the body, especially in children whose immune systems are still developing. They increase oxidative stress and inflammation—things that most of us moms don’t even realize are happening in our kids’ bodies.

How I’m Supporting My Family’s Health in Small, Daily Steps

This Nutrition Month, I came across LAC Philippines and their natural supplement, LAC MASQUELIER’s® French Pine Bark Extract, and it really made sense to me.

It’s a science-backed antioxidant supplement made with Original OPCs (oligomeric proanthocyanidins)—a mouthful, yes, but what matters is that it’s 50x stronger than Vitamin E and 20x stronger than Vitamin C in fighting oxidative stress. That’s a big deal for me as a mom who wants to support not just my health, but also my child’s growing body.

Here’s why I like it:

• It helps reduce internal inflammation and supports the immune system.
• It promotes healthy blood circulation (great for energy and focus!).
• It helps maintain skin elasticity and collagen (bonus for moms like us!).
• It’s safe for both adults and kids, with a simple dosage guide based on weight.

Now, we’ve started including it as part of our family’s daily routine—just like brushing teeth or drinking vitamins. It’s a small change, but it feels like the right move toward a healthier lifestyle.

Wellness is a Journey, Not a Sprint

Let’s face it—health isn’t built overnight. But by making mindful choices every day, we’re building stronger habits that support long-term wellness for ourselves and our families. If you’ve been wanting to make better food and health choices for your family (without overhauling your entire life), starting with antioxidant support like LAC MASQUELIER’s® could be a smart, doable step.

Because at the end of the day, we moms just want what’s best for our family. And when we take care of ourselves too, we’re better equipped to take care of them.
