Looking Future<br />
Generation<br />

status-symbol of some sort.<br />
Written by Michelle Co-Huertas<br />
Beauty nowadays is based on how far your actual age<br />
is from your physical age. We are so engrossed in<br />
looking young that we tend to jump into buying every<br />
anti-aging supplements available in the market.<br />
How to Separate What Works and What Not:<br />
• Compare and make it a habit to check the label<br />
of different brands that claims to be offering<br />
the same product. Some may claim to be more<br />
affordable but lacks the amount of potency.<br />
• Read the fine prints and be vigilant on what some<br />
brands refer to as proprietary blends. More often<br />
than not, this translates to a weaker potency or a<br />
lower amount of ingredients used.<br />
• Price should not be your gauging factor. Don’t fall<br />
for the lowest price guarantee hype as many of<br />
the imported brands does not comply with FDA<br />
and might pose a more serious problem that far<br />
outweighs its gains.<br />
• Check which company is responsible for importing<br />
the brand into the country. Be aware of the<br />
company’s legitimacy and track record.<br />
