Investing in health and immunity as we age

As we age, we realize how truly important it is to invest in our health. Boosting one’s immunity has become more imperative at a time when there is an increased threat in people’s physical well-being, especially as you age. As such, older people tend to develop more underlying, long-term health problems.1 

Health as investment

Good health is one of the best things we can give ourselves. Mead Johnson’s PROVITAL Immuna Plus is inviting Filipinos to invest in a healthier lifestyle and help enhance their immunity. PROVITAL Immuna Plus is an adult milk brand with Yeast Beta-glucan, a key immune-boosting ingredient which is clinically proven to reduce symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) by 64%2

“The new normal has become a wake-up call for all of us to really value our health and a strong immune system. This is why Mead Johnson is proud to introduce PROVITAL Immuna Plus while encouraging more Filipinos to embrace a healthier lifestyle,” explained Aleli Arcilla, President & General Manager, Reckitt Philippines. “Our older population are some of the most at risk and vulnerable when there are serious health threats. The good thing is that they can do something about it by taking extra good care of themselves through proper nutrition, balanced diet and exercise.”

PROVITAL Immuna Plus has Triple Immune Protection benefits, formulated with yeast beta-glucan, scientifically proven to help activate immune response to fight against infections and colds2.
