Heart health is often treated as something to worry about later in life. In the Philippines, however, the numbers tell a different story. Heart disease accounted for nearly one in five deaths nationwide in 2025, and hypertension affects one in three Filipino adults. Cardiovascular health is not just a senior citizen’s concern — it is a lifelong priority. As World Heart Day approaches on September 29, LAC Philippines is encouraging Filipinos to reconsider when heart care should begin and take proactive steps earlier.
The Habits That Shape Your Heart Start Early
From everyday food choices and sedentary routines to chronic stress and poor sleep, the habits that shape cardiovascular health often start long before the first warning sign appears. Heart health involves more than one factor. Healthy blood flow and circulation, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and blood vessel health all play important roles in overall cardiovascular wellness.
For Filipinos, paying closer attention to these areas — through healthier lifestyle choices and regular health checks — is one of the most practical ways to start caring for the heart earlier in life. Moreover, building these habits young makes them far easier to sustain long-term.
Why Cholesterol Deserves Your Attention Now
One area that deserves closer attention is cholesterol. Cholesterol plays important roles in the body, including supporting hormone production and healthy brain and nerve function. However, having too much of certain types of cholesterol can contribute to plaque buildup in the blood vessels — affecting healthy blood flow and putting added strain on the heart.
Cholesterol levels can also shift as the body ages and experiences hormonal changes. Furthermore, high cholesterol does not always come with noticeable warning signs, making regular monitoring an essential part of proactive heart care. Alongside healthy eating and regular movement, maintaining cholesterol at healthy levels supports long-term cardiovascular wellness.
LAC Activated® Heart Protect™: Supporting Healthy Circulation
This World Heart Day, LAC Philippines highlights two formulations designed to support different aspects of cardiovascular wellness. The first is LAC Activated® Heart Protect™ — a supplement formulated to support healthy blood flow and overall cardiovascular function.
Its key ingredient is 2,000FU of Nattokinase, combined with lecithin and hawthorn to support healthy circulation and cholesterol levels. Designed for adults aged 18 and above, it is taken once daily as a dietary supplement — making it a convenient addition to an everyday heart-health routine. Its distinct focus is on supporting healthy circulation and blood flow as part of proactive cardiovascular care.
LAC Activated® Cholesterex™: Targeted Cholesterol Support
The second formulation is LAC Activated® Cholesterex™ — a more targeted approach to cholesterol support. It combines Red Yeast Rice, Plant Sterols, Lecithin, Policosanol, and Beta-glucan to support healthy cholesterol levels while promoting healthy blood vessels and circulation.
Taken three capsules daily with food, Cholesterex™ offers a focused option for those looking to make cholesterol management a consistent part of their heart-health routine. Additionally, its multi-ingredient formulation addresses both cholesterol levels and blood vessel health simultaneously.
Taking Both Together as Part of Proactive Heart Care
While each formulation addresses a different aspect of cardiovascular wellness, LAC Activated® Heart Protect™ and LAC Activated® Cholesterex™ can be taken individually or together. Together, they form a more comprehensive approach to proactive heart care — covering circulation, blood flow, cholesterol levels, and blood vessel health in one daily routine.
Start Today — Your Heart Already Is
Rather than waiting for age or a warning sign to dictate when heart health becomes a priority, Filipinos can start by understanding their health, building healthier habits, and paying attention to factors such as cholesterol and circulation earlier in life.
Your heart is working every day. Caring for it can start today, too.
