VitaPops

Have your children tried VitaPops yet?

VitaPops

Now here is newer and better way to get the children to load up on vitamin C to protect themselves from illnesses.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here are some FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS about VITAPOPS, from the makers of Ceelin:

1. What is VitaPops?

VitaPops is the first & only Vitamin C in pop rocks format in the market that guarantees full protection while ensuring that kids enjoy the experience of taking it:

Vitamin C: protection from sickness
Pop Rocks Format: fizzles and pops inside the mouth for an enjoyable experience

2. How is it packaged?
VitaPops is contained in single-dose sachet packaging so there’s no need to worry about spillage or breakage of bottles. It’s very handy and convenient to bring anywhere.

3. How much is it?
Each sachet costs P10.

4. When will it be available in the market?
It is already available in all leading drugstores nationwide.

5. Is VitaPops sweet like candy?
VitaPops contains just the right amount of sweetness so that kids will enjoy its taste. The best part about its sugar content is that it only contains 1/5 the sugar level found in regular vitamins, which reduces the risk of tooth decay.

6. Is VitaPops strictly for 7 to 12 years old only?
Children as young as four years old can already take and enjoy VitaPops.

7. How often should kids take VitaPops?
Children can take 1-2 sachets per day or as directed by a pediatrician.

8. Can my kids get overdosed with VitaPops?
No, Vitamin C is water-soluble so any excessive intake will just be excreted through the urine.

9. How is it different from Ceelin Chewables?
We know the challenge of dealing with 7-12 year olds, we understand the need of moms to continue protecting their kids from sickness and keeping them healthy without the difficulty of giving vitamins/healthy food. We need to reward kids just to take what’s good for them. Finally, we have exactly what we need with with Ceelin Chewables as well as VitaPops — available in fun format options, which guarantee full protection. Both are yummy and healthy for kids and are in formats that they love: chewable and pop rocks.

10. Vitamin C in VitaPops comes in which form?
VitaPops is in a non-acidic Sodium Ascorbate formulation. It doesn’t cause stomach irritation even if it is consumed on an empty stomach.

11. What is the shelf life of VitaPops? Because it’s made of granules, don’t they get sticky and solidify after sometime?
VitaPops is best consumed within 2 years from when it was produced. Solidification happens when the product is exposed to humidity and moisture. To prevent this from happening, we recommend keeping VitaPops in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

12. What makes VitaPops pop? Is that safe?
VitaPops is safe to take and is FDA-approved. It pops because when the granules that contain Carbon Dioxide come in contact with moisture, it dissolves and the gas escapes quickly producing a fizzing and popping sound.

13. Why should I give VitaPops to my children? Why should I trust this new product?
Aside from being a vitamin that boosts immunity and that kids enjoy due to its unique and fun formulation, VitaPops comes from the makers of Ceelin, the country’s leading brand of Vitamin C from Unilab. You are assured of affordable, quality healthcare.

14. Can my kids get allergies from VitaPops?
VitaPops is generally safe and does not cause any allergies. But it is still best to consult with your pediatrician.

15. How much Vitamin C can my child get from VitaPops? How does it compare to vegetables, fruits and milk?
1 VitaPops sachet contains 50 mg of Vitamin C and is equivalent to 5 glasses of milk / 28 pieces of calamansi / 1 ½ glasses of freshly squeezed orange.

16. Could vegetables, fruits and milk rich in Vitamin C give my child the necessary amount to ensure full immunity?
While these may be healthy for your kids, there may not be enough Vitamin C to satisfy the recommended daily intake of 35 mg for 7-9 yrs old and 45 mg for 10-12 yrs old. For example, for every 100g serving of fresh squash only 9 mg of Vitamin C can be provided; 100g of Cabbage at 36.6 mg of Vitamin C; Tomato at 13 mg. For milk, every 250 mL serving only has around 2.6 mg of Vitamin C. It would still be recommended for your kids to take Vitamin C supplements for full Vitamin C protection.

VitaPops is a product of Unilab.

Staycation

It is a staycation for the hubby and I for this long weekend. He is supposed to go to work Saturday but he canceled going and already informed his team that he is not coming (so there’s really no need for him to get an employee warning notice, 😀 ) Reason: we got a nasty stomach flu.

No need to go into the nitty-gritty eeewwww details but let me just say: I am famished beyond belief.

There is no actual treatment for stomach flu but these were what we did:

  • We didn’t eat for a few days
  • We subsisted on fruits: apples, oranges and bananas.
  • I ate root crops like camote
  • We ate a lot of boiled eggs
  • We drank a lot of sports drink to keep the sodium up
  • I drank a few glasses of oral hydration salt mixed in water to avoid dehydration
  • I ate candy when my mouth feels odd.
To avoid having this, it is important to wash, wash and wash your hands properly. We do that always but I guess if the bug gets to you, it stays for a while no matter how you try to be as clean as you want to.
If there was one thing that is positive with this, the children are not with us because they are vacationing with my parents.
They are coming back today though so I hope they won’t get what we got. Ugh.

Safety and Children

In my country there is no doubt that we love our children very much. In fact, one of the most obvious prevailing problems is that we have too many children in our midst. That is not the point I want to tackle though.

We love our children but we do not seem to care about their safety. There, I said it.

Regarding safety, this should be one of the priorities we should hold high, along with clean food and surroundings (these are related to safety too) education and growing up with love and care among other things.

Here are a few examples:

  • almost no playgrounds in the urban areas (children play on the streets)
  • children riding on motorcycles with adults. without helmets
  • children packed in tricycles as a school service
  • children allowed to ride horses without riding helmets and other gears
  • children eating street food not cooked in good sanitary conditions

Horseback riding

I could go on and on…
Let us keep the children’s safety a priority. If this is not a government priority, then as parents, we should do this for them.

TipTap Soft Soles Shoes

My kids are no longer babies and for that I heave a sigh of relief as I am free of several responsibilities so Yey! for that. If there are some things though that make me miss those times when they were still babies, that would be about getting cute outfits (lol), trying more organic food offerings, and doing cloth diapering. But I digress because I will stay focus on the cute outfits, specifically the shoes.

When TipTap Soft Soles Shoes launched its 2012 Collection, I couldn’t help but gush, gush and gush some more! The shoes are awesome and how I really wish that my kids were able to have these when they were much, much younger.

Here are some of the TipTap Soft Soles Shoes 2012 Collection I took photos of during the 2012 Collection Launch:

VitaPops Wacky Science Fair

We normally do not get out of the house on Sundays unless it is necessary to do so. We are like vampires, hah! We go out when the sun is setting low. Seriously,  we do that Sunday after Sunday with the vow to go out earlier next Sunday.

Last Sunday, October 21, was different though because we went to VitaPops Wacky Science Fair all the way to SM Mall of Asia.

At first the kids were not too excited on the prospect of having to travel far away when they just want to do stay home the whole day. In the end, they were happy we went and here are some photos to explain why:

My Virtual Friend

I miss my virtual friend Grey Mom

No, she does not work for mynursinguniforms.com for Greys anatomy scrubs but she is a big Grey’s Anatomy fan. I don’t know is she still loves the show. Somehow we have stopped communicating when she stopped blogging. In fact it was a little over a year when she last wrote a blog post and I put in a comment.

I guess I am not meant to be a fan of medical-related shows like the one previously mentioned because I prefer police slash murder investigations slash high adrenaline kind of tv series.

I tried the zombies but I only watched season one.

The series I followed through from beginning to end are more on the type I wrote above ^ and the same genre is true with the books I read. Having said that, let me say I am looking forward to seeing Alex Cross on the big screen.
