Boost Your Defenses: Herbalife Introduces ImmuLift for All-Around Immunity Support

 Premier health and wellness company, community and platform,Herbalife, has launched ImmuLift, an immunity-boosting supplementary drink, in the Philippines. Formulated with a unique blend of ingredients that include EpiCor® (a clinically researched ingredient that strengthens the body’s first and second lines of defense), Vitamin C, Vitamin D3, Selenium and Zinc, ImmuLift is designed for adults to support their daily wellness and help maintain their body’s natural defenses. 


 

Following the pandemic, immune health remains a core concern. Demand for vitamins and nutritional supplements have also been on the rise with consumers realizing the importance of increasing immune protection. The Health and Dietary Supplement Association of the Philippines (HADSAP) reported that the country's nutraceutical sector grew by approximately 9% during the height of the pandemic and continued to grow by about 7% in the following year. Much of this growth was led by vitamin and dietary supplements, including single vitamins and multivitamins, which constitute the largest category in the country's nutraceutical market.

 

“The pandemic has highlighted the importance of keeping our health in tip top condition, to safeguard ourselves against the effects of stress and illnesses. The launch of ImmuLift will pave the way for consumers to get access to multiple levels of immunity support, in the form of a quick and convenient drink,” said Allan Domingo, Director and General Manager of Herbalife Philippines.

 

“According to the Herbalife Asia Pacific ‘New Year, New Me’ survey in 2024, many Filipinos are looking to make better nutrition choices and prioritize their well-being this year. With the launch of ImmuLift, we’re supporting their wellness journey and help boost their immunity daily. It aligns with our Healthier Together campaign, which empowers communities to build healthier habits together—because lasting change happens best when we support each other,” he further added.

 

 

 

 

The five core ingredients that go into the ImmuLift formula include:

 

● EpiCor®: A whole food yeast fermentate made from only natural ingredients that go through a specialized fermentation process to help create its beneficial immune strengthening properties for the body’s first line of immune defenses found in the nose, mouth and throat, as well as the body’s next line of immune defenses. 
● Vitamin C: Contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system, and cell protection from oxidative stress. 
● Vitamin D3: Supports the healthy functioning of the immune system. 
● Selenium and Zinc: Support the normal functioning of the immune system and contribute to cell protection from oxidative stress.

 

Perfect for individuals to consume at any time of the day, simply add one sachet of ImmuLift to 240ml of warm or cold water and stir until dissolved, to enjoy a refreshing blackcurrant-flavored immunity-boosting drink.

 

This product is available at www.herbalife.com/en-ph or via Herbalife’s Independent Distributors.

Breathe Fresh, Live Smart: TCL FreshIN 3.0 Delivers Cool Comfort This Summer

 Summer in the Philippines is always intense, but 2025 is shaping up to be one of the hottest yet. With heat indices already surpassing 42°C in several regions, staying cool and safe has never been more crucial. In this scorching climate, air conditioners are no longer just a convenience; they have become essential for ensuring comfort, safety, and overall well-being.

Recognizing the critical need for relief in the face of extreme heat, TCL, a global leader in consumer electronics and the newly crowned Triple Global Top 1 TV Brand, has risen to the challenge with a solution designed specifically for the season. Introducing the TCL FreshIN 3.0 air conditioner, an innovation that surpasses traditional cooling systems. It delivers powerful, efficient cooling while actively enhancing your indoor environment, ensuring a healthier and more comfortable space this summer. 

“We always prioritize the everyday experiences of our customers, which is why we’re proud that the TCL FreshIN 3.0 has been awarded the Smart Fresh Air Technology Innovation Award at CES 2025. This recognition reflects our commitment to providing innovative solutions that help people stay cool, comfortable, and healthy, even in the most extreme heat,” said Joseph Cernitchez, Brand Manager of TCL Philippines.

But beyond the awards, what makes the TCL FreshIN 3.0 the ultimate solution for surviving and thriving during the sweltering summer months? Let's delve into the top three unbeatable reasons why this inverter air conditioner deserves a prime spot in your home:

Control the Temperature with Ease, even on the Hottest Days

Imagine the ease of adjusting your AC without lifting a finger, no remote needed, no app opening, no Wi-Fi worries, especially during those sweltering summer days. The TCL FreshIN 3.0 transforms comfort with its Offline Voice Control feature. Whether you’re lounging on a hot afternoon, cooking in a warm kitchen, or just trying to stay cool, a simple voice command like “Hey TCL, lower the temperature” instantly brings relief. The FreshIN 3.0 integrates effortlessly with Google Assistant and Alexa, offering even more ways to manage your summer climate. This hands-free operation works seamlessly, even without a Wi-Fi connection, ensuring you stay comfortable all summer long.



 


 

Beat the Summer Heat with FreshIN’s Fresh, Cool Air

Air-conditioned rooms can often feel stuffy and dry after extended use, especially during the summer. Traditional ACs simply recirculate the same air, leaving the space uncomfortable. The TCL FreshIN 3.0 solves this with its revolutionary FreshIN Technology, drawing in fresh outdoor air to keep your space cool, well-oxygenated, and balanced—perfect for a refreshing night’s sleep. With an ultra-quiet operation of just 16dB, it ensures the soothing airflow doesn’t disturb your rest.

For those living in busy cities, the QuadruPuri Filters offer extra protection against pollution, dust, allergens, and bacteria. Whether working from home or relaxing, this four-stage filtration system helps maintain optimal oxygen levels, leaving you feeling refreshed and energized. Pet owners will appreciate how the FreshIN 3.0 eliminates odors and maintains comfortable humidity levels, ensuring a natural, refreshing cooling experience. The BreezeIN micro-hole wind blades ensure a gentle, natural airflow — no harsh, dry blasts here.

Experience Smart Energy-Saving and Hassle-Free Maintenance

Electric bills are reaching its highest peak recently and for families, particularly those with elderly members, managing electricity bills is always a top priority. With the extended summer season that we are experiencing as of the moment, the TCL FreshIN 3.0's T-AI energy-saving technology can result in substantial savings on annual electricity costs. 

Worried about your AC maintenance? The TCL FreshIN 3.0 takes the hassle out of maintenance with its intelligent Lifespan Reminder feature. It notifies you when it’s time to clean or replace the filters, making sure that your air stays fresh and clean all summer long with minimal effort. This smart reminder ensures that you get the most from your unit, offering optimal performance and a healthier environment.

As the Philippine summer continues to bring intense heat, the TCL FreshIN 3.0 stands out as an air conditioner that is smart, efficient, and health-conscious, designed to create a cool, clean, and comfortable retreat. Stay cool and confident this summer with the TCL FreshIN 3.0, the next generation solution for a cooler, more comfortable indoor environment.

TCL FreshIN 3.0 inverter air conditioner is available at all authorized dealers nationwide.
