Jelai Andres talks about love, loss and good health
WHEN I think of Jelai Andres, I remember how she mourned the death of her dog Chicken, and how she found love again in the form of a rescue dog. I always say a person who loves animals, especially rescues, is someone who has a good heart. And this must be true in Jelai’s case as those who have worked with her only have good words for the actress, Youtube content creator and Internet personality.
Jelai also made showbiz headlines recently after she talked about her failed marriage and how she endured her partner’s infidelities even in the beginning of their relationship.
“And at the end of the day I still want to be proud of the way I risked my love and soul, no hesitations [because of] the past. I learned so much from it and I am grateful, thankful for the woman that I’ve become,” Jelai posted in Instagram.
With over 17 million followers across her social-media platforms, Jelai has received so much support from her fans. But it hasn’t been easy.
“Napakahirap po. Para ka pong namatay tapos nabuhay ka lang ulit,” said Jelai during her launch as the endorser for Beautéderm Corp.’s Reiko and Kenzen Health Boosters.
Jelai may be a successful showbiz and Internet celebrity but she was so happy to receive such a warm welcome from her Beautéderm family led by its CEO Rhea Anicoche Tan.
Jelai’s favorites from the Fda-compliant line are Reiko Valeriana Officinalis + L-theanine (Sleep Enhancer) Somnest, which contains Valeriana Officinalis extracts, 98% L-theanine and Gaba (gamma aminobutyric acid) that all help treat insomnia; and Reiko Coffee Bean + Salacia (Diet Enhancer) Slimaxine which has coffee bean extracts and salacia and ginger extracts.
“Nagka-depression po talaga ako dahil sa nangyari to the point na di ako makatulog. Nakatulong talaga po sa akin ang Somnest,” said Jelai.
The five other products in the line of all-natural health supplements are Kenzen Bacopa Monniera + Centella Asiatica (Memory Booster) Memax, which contains phosphatidylserine, bacopa monniera, centella asiatica and lutein, as well as silicone dioxide, stearic acid and calcium, which are known to boost brain function, enhance memory function and help prevent memory loss; Kenzen Biodopa + Rosemary (Energy Booster) Vivagen, which contains mucuna pruriens extracts, rosemary and maca and guarana extracts—that all aid in lowering stress and helping maintain physical and psychological vitality; Kenzen Vitamin C + Zinc (Immunity Booster) Z Plus, which contains vitamin C or ascorbic acid as well as zinc that are necessary for the growth, development and repair of all body tissues; Reiko Vitamin D + Grape Seed (Sun Protection Enhancer) Prestosol, which contains vitamin D, grape seed extracts and amla and rosemary extracts; and Reiko Andrographis + Ginger (Digestion Enchacer) Fitox, which contains andrographis and ginger plus curcumin that prevent flu viruses from binding to the cells of the body and act as a natural appetite suppressant while regulating sugar levels, respectively.
“Aside from my daily doses of Reiko and Kenzen Beautéderm Health Boosters, it’s important for me to get enough sleep every day, drink lots of water and have a healthy diet,” said Jelai.
Aside from Jelai, Reiko and Kenzen Beautéderm Health Boosters is also endorsed by actresses Maja Salvador and Andrea Brillantes.
“Jelai’s reach in social media will greatly help Beautéderm in spreading the message that each one of us should take charge of our health if we are to live our life to the fullest. Jelai is very professional and she takes so much pride in the work that she does, and I admire her very much for that,” said Tan, who, along with her team, worked on the Health Boosters line for over a year before its launch in November.
