What is this collaboration about?
Recently, I collaborated with Kinohimitsu to be one of their male ambassadors for their Men’s health drink: the MACA Men.
I feel extremely excited about this as apart from being my first collaboration for a male-related health product, I find this product highly applicable to my life situation.
My Life Situation
To put things into context, there are many who think I do blogging and modeling shoots as a full time. The fact is I do hold a full time profession in a face-paced industry: Sales & Marketing Department of a Pharmaceutical company. Currently, I am holding a highly-demanding business managerial role for a multi-million dollar therapeutic portfolio which holds a team of highly-qualified representatives. For this, on top of people management, I also have to consistently do business reviews & presentations for higher management. Outside office, I would still have to handle shrewd customers’ objections & queries. Hence with the abovementioned, challenges faced in my full time job, be it internally or externally, can be constantly taxing on both my mental & physical well-being.
Furthermore, I still have to either attend social activities or complete blog posts with M almost everyday after working hours. After that, I still have to clear the daily work emails & set team meeting agenda for the next day. As such, my everyday usually ends in the wee hours. Those late nights can easily affect my concentration level and memory for the next day.
Nonetheless, I still try not to neglect the importance of exercising & keeping myself trim & fit over the short weekends. I engage in high-intensity TABATA trainings which can be very strenuous. Because of my lower energy level compounded by the week’s hardwork, I find myself not being able to keep up with the exercise for long.
Hence, it is just about time I look for a panacea to give me that extra booster shot I need in life.
Thankfully, I found it 🙂
Product Info & Key Ingredients
Kinohimitsu Maca Men is a caffeine-free energy booster that is refreshing and handy. It is specifically designed for men with powerful proprietary blend of 500mg Maca extract, clam extract, BCAA and turmeric to support men’s vitality, sexual health, stamina and endurance as well as support overall health.
Individually, each component delivers their own respective health benefits:
MACA – An adaptogenic (does not contain hormone but it helps to stimulate the body to produce more) plant which is rich in zinc, calcium, iron and plant sterols. Even in many literatures online, MACA is well-known for its capability to help boost the production of the key male hormone, Testosterone. An increase in Testosterone level helps to improve men’s sexual health & performance, increased libido, muscle strength & energy level etc. Also, it helps to improve mood psychologically through relieving stress.
Clam extract – Rich in Zinc and amino acid. Studies have shown a close relationship between zinc and testosterone level in men. An increase in zinc intake can lead to a boost in the Testosterone level & thus a healthier reproductive system etc.
Turmeric – All curry-lover should know this one! This is the one that gives curry its yellow colouring. Main active ingredient is Curcumin which have a myriad of benefits ranging from promoting blood circulation vital for cardiovascular health to maintaining liver health by protecting the liver from toxic chemicals.
Branched Chain Amino Acid (BCAA) – Vital to stamina- & muscle-building for longer endurance during workout
How I feel after taking MACA Men for 2-3 weeks?
How can the male ambassador not walk the talk by trying the product itself, right? So, I was given a box of MACA Men to try. Within one box like this, it contains 20 bottles of 500ml MACA Men which should be taken once daily before meal.
I like the fact that the bottle is so portable thus making it extremely easy to carry around. For working adults like me who have erratic eating hours, this means I can take it out from my bag or even pocket to drink it whenever and wherever I deem fit.
Next, I must say the health effect kicked in quite rapidly. I could feel a slight surge in energy level & libido after taking it for the first 2-3 days. Many of you readers must be thinking this could be just psychological effect or maybe a ‘Placebo’ effect. Fact is at the start, I have always known it to be just an energy booster drink till I felt my sexual reproductive system responding to it on the second day; a surge in libido & rock-hard erection without much conscious control even at night (like those of morning glory).
Thirdly, I appreciate the fact that the drink tasted great with a fruity flavor. Hence, this makes it easy to stay compliant with my daily dosage. In fact, sometimes I am so tempted to take more than one bottle over for a day! Lol!
Lastly, you must be wondering long term wise, will our body build tolerance and the effect slowly fade away? As far as I am concern, you can have a peace of mind the answer is NO. On the contrary of ‘up-ing’ my dosage, I eventually tapered down to one bottle every 2 days as a maintenance dose! Despite this, the efficacy did not waver! I still maintain the long lasting health benefits promised by MACA Men J
To balance both side of the story, I would think the main drawback for this drink would probably be its price tag at $86.90 per box of 20’s. That is almost the price of a kopitiam lunch meal! So you are split between that plate of warm, mouth-watering chicken rice and a bottle of MACA Men. Tough choice eh? Lol!
