The word ‘fat’ has notoriously made everyone think that it is a bad thing for a body to have. It is true, of course, that having too much of it may lead to a handful of health problems.

In scientific wordings, fat contains nine calories per gram which means it packs calories more than twice the carbohydrates and protein. Also, a body won’t be able to function without the presence of fats.

However, in the Philippines, fat is a primary suspect for the deaths of many Filipinos.

According to the Department of Health, the leading causes of mortality in the country are still diseases relating to heart, and fats are usually the culprit.

Could there be any other way this enemy can be converted into a friend?

LeGarde conducted a health and wellness expo.

Recently, LeGarde, owned by McGraw Pharma Inc., conducted a health and wellness expo showcasing a product that can help turn woes to joys — Carnipure L-Carnitine Supplement.

L-Carnitine is an amino acid found and produced in the body to help translate fats into a source of energy. This amino acid can also be taken through the mouth to improve and enhance the performances of the heart and blood vessels.

The latest addition in the company’s roster is made and fused with Carnipure, a special grade of L-Carnitine that can be of help in transforming stored fats into usable energy.

“There have been L-Carnitine supplements in the country but LeGarde is the first Carnipure L-Carnitine in LiCaps (Liquid Capsules) Fusion Technology in the country. Basically what that means is that is it’s a pure form L-Carnitine in a superior delivery method,” said Jonathan Sibulo, president of McGraw Pharma, Inc., in an interview with the Daily Tribune.

Also, during the expo, the man that has been taking the Internet by storm was introduced.

Nico Bolzico, the proud face of the brand, has led an active lifestyle not only by accident but because it’s in the nature of his field of work.

“We think it’s a good fit because Nico is a multi-faceted personality. He is an internet sensation these days and he’s also into business, he walks his dog, he creates content, he does sports and that’s the kind of person who I think best fits the product,” the president added.

But at the end of the day, fat may not even be the ultimate enemy.

The fate of our body is still in our hands — in what we eat and do.

“Multitasking is a thing nowadays. You can be a corporate guy in the morning and a DJ by night. But the motivation to commit in all these things can be as elusive as the energy to do it all. And I can’t think of a better time to jumpstart your journey to better energy optimization than today,” he said.
