Ascorbic acid (Poten-Cee) Is Fifty, Fortified, and Forging Forward

Tweet

The top adult plain vitamin C brand¹ pays it forward on its 50th

To celebrate 50 years of supporting Filipinos’ varying Vitamin C needs and to thank its customers for their continued support, the top Vitamin C brand (adult, plain category) Ascorbic acid (Poten-Cee) Vitamin C,¹ launches its milestone campaign, Fifty, Fortified, and Forging Forward. 

 

Poten-Cee Is Fifty 

Poten-Cee, proudly from PascualLab, one of the top pharmaceutical companies in the Philippines,¹ traces its humble beginnings to the post-war era, supporting the Vitamin C needs of Filipinos. Today, it has evolved into one of the top Vitamin C brands offering variants that help fulfill different needs and that support different lifestyles. 

From Poten-Cee's early ventures to its latest products, the brand consistently showcases a commitment to innovation. Poten-Cee Sugar-Coated which was launched in 1974, was designed with a shell coating to mask the sour taste of Ascorbic acid. This coating with its candy-like taste and appearance, also made the tablet smoother and easier to swallow. 

 

Through the years, Poten-Cee has also formulated adult to pedia variants to suit Filipinos’ diverse needs and preferences: 

• Ascorbic acid as Sodium Ascorbate (Poten-Cee NA)² and Poten-Cee Plus for adults and children who prefer a vitamin C in non-acidic format³  

• Ascorbic acid (Poten-Cee Chewable), a convenient format for those who are always on the go 

• Ascorbic acid (Poten-Cee Forte) 1000 mg with 8-hour time release for those who prefer a higher dose of Vitamin C        

• Ascorbic acid (Poten-Cee Sugar-Free) for those watching their blood sugar.   

Poten-Cee's Beauty of Immunity 

In 2016, Poten-Cee introduced the tagline “The Beauty of Immunity.”  Aside from Vitamin C helping to fortify immunity which is vital to good health, it is also essential in collagen production to help support healthy skin.  Still in line with this message, PascualLab’s flagship brand launched Poten-Cee + C in 2022.  Poten-Cee + C is a food supplement which combines Vitamin C and Hydrolyzed Collagen.  

 

Poten-Cee Is Fortified 

 

Among Poten-Cee's newer variants are Poten-Cee + Zn (Ascorbic acid + Zinc) and  Poten-Cee + Zn Advance (Ascorbic acid + Zinc + Cholecalciferol) which were both launched in 2021. Poten-Cee + ZN combines Vitamin C that supports immunity and Zinc that helps protect cells from viral infections, among other benefits.  Meanwhile Poten-Cee Zn Advance combines active ingredients that play critical roles in immune function, inflammatory response, and collagen synthesis.^4-9 

Poten-Cee Is Forging Forward 

This year, as part of the brand’s forging forward, Poten-Cee unveiled a new offering of Poten-Cee + C. Poten-Cee + C Marine Collagen has Sodium Ascorbate (Vitamin C in non-acidic format)³ and Hydrolyzed Marine Collagen sourced from fish. ¹⁰ With this introduction, Poten-Cee + C now has options that offer consumers type 1 collagen sourced from fish (marine collagen) and type 2 collagen, from bovine or animal sources (original variant). 

Poten-Cee is Paying Forward 

And to thank Filipino families for all the years of support, Poten-Cee is also paying it forward.  Through the years, Poten-Cee has been making sizeable donations to sectors in need including survivors of the recent Typhoon Carina.

As Poten-Cee celebrates 50 years of providing consumers with trusted Vitamin C products, it wishes to extend its deepest gratitude for the unwavering support given by Filipinos. This has been the cornerstone of its success, inspiring the brand to continually innovate and improve, more so in the years to come. 

 

Poten-Cee is available in all leading drugstores and supermarkets nationwide and at PascualLab’s official TikTok, Shopee, & Lazada stores. Follow us on PotenCee_PH, FB & IG.

Three years since their partnership with World Vision started, PascualLab sponsors led by Vice President for Corporate HROD and Design Services & Corporate Affairs Mia Pascual Cenzon, finally met their sponsored children face to face, at a bonding activity during PascualLab’s anniversary month at the World Vision grounds in Quezon City.

To spread the #PascualLove as part of its CSR program Sowing to Empower, Educate, and Develop (SEED), Pascual Laboratories, Inc.

PascualLab, a partner of international charitable institution World Vision since 2020, has been sponsoring children in less-fortunate communities in Malabon via the CHOSEN program. Through the program, these children were given the chance to pick their sponsors, essentially choosing people who can help them realize their wishes for education towards better lives amidst challenges including the current health crisis. Three years into the pandemic and during PascualLab’s anniversary month, the sponsors were finally able to be with the children who have CHOSEN them. Malabon plays a significant place in PascualLab’s history as the Pascual family traces its roots to this Northern part of Manila. PascualLab VP and CHOSEN sponsor Mia Pascual Cenzon shared: “PascualLab has always had a passion for CSR and a heart for family so we take every chance to help others through our health products and in more ways such as the CHOSEN program”.

C-Lium Fibre Pushes for #HealthGoals Via Habit Formation in 2023 Campaign - #PushNaYanWithMyDailyFiber

Tweet

The top-of-mind brand promotes the benefit of daily fiber supplementation in preventing chronic diseases with #PushNaYanWithMyDailyFiber 

Three years into the pandemic but moving towards a sense of normalcy in our lives, C-Lium Fibre, the top-of-mind psyllium fiber brand¹ is inspiring Filipinos to realize their health goals through habit formation so they can continue to be more present for the people who matter in their lives. 

 

With its 2023 campaign “Push Na `Yan With My Daily Fiber” PascualLab’s fiber food supplement brand C-Lium Fibre hopes to create awareness of the importance of good lifestyle and nutrition habits and how these can prevent chronic diseases. ² 

 

Healthy Lifestyle 

Daily habits such as exercising for 30 minutes a day, getting around eight (8) hours of sleep, and managing your stress can do wonders for the health.³  

 

Proper Diet and Nutrition 

Equally important to a healthy lifestyle is getting the right nutrients. With a focus on fiber, the campaign hopes to impart the benefits of fiber as part of our day-to-day nutrition and how daily supplementation can help deter chronic diseases. 

 

Fiber for Fitness 

According to research, getting enough fiber can help prevent heart disease, diabetes and regulate bowel movement. ⁴ 

 

One rich source of fiber is psyllium fiber which pushes away toxins from the body. It has soluble and insoluble fiber which works in two ways: 

 

1. It binds excess bad cholesterol, excess fat, and sugar and  

2. Pushes them out of the body. ⁵  

 

According to DOST-FNRI, we need at least 20 to 25 grams of fiber daily. ⁶    

 

I-Push Na `Yan With My Daily Fiber 

C-Lium Fibre has both 100% natural soluble and insoluble fiber in convenient formats: capsule and husk. A daily dose of a sachet of C-Lium Fibre alone can give you 5 grams of fiber which is equivalent to 5 cups of Romaine lettuce, 8 cups of cooked white rice, or 3 medium-sized tomatoes.⁷ 

 

C-Lium Fibre’s husk format comes in regular and flavored variants. 

C-Lium Fiber in Four Easy Steps 

C-Lium Fibre is easy to take: 

1. Pour a sachet of C-Lium Fibre husk into half an 8. oz glass of water2. Stir for 10 seconds. 3. Drink immediately and completely. 4. Follow with another glass of water or juice.  

For capsule, take 5 capsules before breakfast and 5 capsules before dinner to get the equivalent of 5 grams fiber. 

 

C-Lium Fiber is available in all leading drugstores and supermarkets nationwide, and at PascualLab’s official Lazada and Shopee stores.

Tweet

Pascual Laboratories, Inc., one of the top-of-mind pharmaceutical companies¹ in the Philippines earns its first Quill Excellence Award for its 75thAnniversary campaign, #PascualLove, at virtual awarding ceremonies held on August 18, 2022 via ktext.ph

The 19th Philippine Professional and Student Quill Awards is the Philippine chapter of the global organization International Association of Business Communicators (IABC)’s award-giving body which recognizes the best communication programs, tools, talents, and academic work.  

#PascualLove , PascualLab’s campaign for its milestone 75^thAnniversary was chosen as one of the Excellence Awardees among 849 entries.  The campaign won for effectively achieving its communication objectives through the strategic use of platforms to reach stakeholders, efficient management, consistent messaging, and communication innovation. 

 

#PascualLove is a play on the company name and the kind of love it tries to convey through its health and wellness products and services, to its stakeholders, and its contribution to nation-building through job creation and philanthropy. 

 

During its 75^th year, PascualLab launched a digital campaign via its social media accounts and corporate website as well as a PR campaign in the first quarter of 2021.  PascualLab also provided a sneak peek of the campaign highlights with a digital concert "PascualLove: From Our Family To Yours" in partnership with Wish FM 104.7 featuring River Maya and Music Hero, as well as sponsorship of the “Kilabotitos” concert featuring Ogie Alcasid and Ian Veneracion.   

 

The fulcrum of the celebrations was the digital concert #PascualLOVELiveAt75 which brought together all key stakeholders who have been part of the celebrations – from its brand ambassadors Bea Alonzo, Heart Evangelista, Alice Dixson, and Solenn Heusaff, to its trade partners. Ben & Ben, one of the biggest Filipino bands top-billed the performance while iconic radio jock and influencer Chico Garcia hosted the online event.

During the same year, PascualLab also launched new products – Poten-Cee + Zinc Advance, ProBio7 Kids probiotic powder supplements, and WellGreens Organics food supplements, proof of its continued thrust towards purposeful innovations. 

 

PascualLab spread more of the #PascualLove with the relaunch of its corporate social responsibility program SEED: Sowing to Empower, Educate, and Develop.

Marking the relaunch was the partnership with World Vision for its CHOSEN program where over 75 children from a less fortunate community in Malabon got to select their PascualLab employee sponsors. SEED’s relaunch was also highlighted by its partnership with health guru Doc Willie Ong for a series of MEDTalks that featured health tips on COVID-19 remedies & the importance of fiber supplementation, and donations of various Vitamin products to communities in Southville III Muntinlupa, Malabon, frontliners at San Lazaro Hospital, and the Regional Health Unit in Bulacan where PascualLab’s plant is located. 

 

All these initiatives earned PascualLab its first Quill – a milestone Excellence Award for Communication Management under Marketing, Advertising, and Brand Communication. 

 

According to IABC Philippines President Belle Tiongco: "Winning a Quill award is not easy. Winning an excellence award is a testament to the entrant’s global standard, reflecting a very high level of creativity and strategic ability that generates results.  Congratulations on your win, PascualLab, and thank you for sharing your work to inspire and motivate your colleagues in the industry! Well done – keep up the good work!"

Beyond the meaningful milestone celebration and the recognition, PascualLab remains committed to make true its mission of delivering quality and family-friendly health products and services to Filipino communities in the decades to come, all in the spirit of #PascualLove.

Since then, it has grown to be one of the top Filipino-owned pharmaceutical companies, behind well-loved brands such as Poten-Cee Vitamin C, Vitex negundo L. Lagundi Leaf (ASCOF), C-Lium Fibre, and OraCare Mouthrinse.

PascualLove: From Our Family To Yours

This 2021, PascualLab reaffirms its commitment to making health easier for every Filipino family through the campaign “PascualLove: Care begins with family”. From the care that emanates from the family, the campaign speaks of love of different kinds.

Passion for Innovation

Believing that at the heart of its business is love for family, PascualLab continues to purposefully innovate on tested formulas, to deliver more family-friendly, high-quality health and wellness products to Filipino communities. To ensure this, industry regulations and plant guidelines are strictly followed at every stage, from formulation to manufacturing.  PascualLab also takes pride in attaining its ISO:9001:2015 certification, which assures its customers that it adheres to the highest international quality standards in its pursuit of continuous process improvements.

Because of this commitment, PascualLab has always made it a point to be at the forefront of life-oriented health solutions through its products such as Poten-Cee, Ascof, C-Lium, and OraCare.

Poten-Cee, is the company’s homegrown Vitamin C brand that has, since its introduction into the market over 40 years ago, evolved into a multi-variant brand that caters not just to various age groups, but to differences in consumers’ Vitamin C needs as well.  Ascof Lagundi is currently the no. 1 Lagundi cough formulation ¹ in the market, aside from being the pioneer natural cough remedy², during a time when synthetic cough preparations dominated the market. C-Lium Fibre banners the company’s natural offerings, and currently offers new and exciting flavors to further entice new consumers to adopt a healthy lifestyle and take their fiber.  And then there is OraCare, a mouthrinse with the breakthrough technology Stabilized Chlorine Dioxide that effectively kills bad bacteria through its oxidizing action,³ all without the alcohol and sting that are present in other preparations. 

This year, PascualLab is also launching more variants for its flagship products as well as new brands such as WellGreens Organics – a line of premium organic food supplements with variants such as Ampalaya, Ginger, Lagundi-Oregano, and Malunggay-Mangoosteen ; and ProBio7 Kids, a probiotic food supplement for children in grape-flavored powder form.

And as part of the company’s 75th anniversary, these and more PascualLab brands are offering special discounts in major outlets nationwide, and via its official flagship stores online.

Love for Life

Beyond fulfilling its life mission, PascualLab also pays it forward by choosing to work with partners who share the company’s values.  

Under its corporate social responsibility program SEED (Sowing to Empower, Educate and Develop), PascualLab and over 140 employees recently joined hands with international charitable institution World Vision to sponsor in Malabon about 75 children - a number that’s symbolic of PascualLab’s years in the industry.

Recently, PascualLab also joined hands with renowned health guru, and philanthropist Dr. Willie Ong to reach out to more Filipinos by making vitamins and other healthy products more available to underprivileged communities.

Committed to the Filipino communities it serves, PascualLab has actively sought out frontliners battling this COVID-19 pandemic and families that have been affected by the calamities in the past years including the unprecedented Typhoon Ondoy, Taal Volcano eruption, and most recently Typhoons Rolly, and Ulysses to provide much-needed immunity boosters among other health and

wellness products.

PascualLove Live

Aside from kicking off its milestone celebration with CSR projects, PascualLab is also doing a series of online concerts to create a more celebratory anniversary feel, and to thank its stakeholders – both partners and consumers – for their support.  The concert series started off with sponsorship of the KilaboTitos aka OPM King Ogie Alcasid and MuscIAN Ian Veneracion on March 26 via ktext.ph This will be followed by a collaborative digital concert between PascualLab and no. 1 YouTube FM Station Wish 107.5, “PascualLove: From our Family to Yours” featuring the iconic Rivermaya and the fast-rising Music Hero on April 23.

The highlight of PascualLab’s 75^th anniversary is an FB Live concert featuring one of the biggest names in the music and radio industries, and special appearances from personalities who played special roles in the company’s history. During the event, PascualLab will also be launching its anniversary theme “Walang Kasing Galing”, a tribute to family love — that continues to be the core and driving force of this company.
