It is a brand new year! It’s safe to say that the removal of the mandatory mask mandate should be the next big step Singaporeans will be all too eager to take on the road towards normalcy.
Yet in an interesting twist, it’s been observed that an overwhelming 93% of Singaporeans still supported the wearing of masks indoors. In fact, even as recently as the beginning of the month, the majority of Singaporeans still opted to shield their faces despite the relaxation of the mask-wearing mandate outdoors. The reason? Many feel that wearing a mask actually boosts their appearance – as similarly suggested by a study done in the UK, which concluded that women found men more attractive with their masks on. So severe is the present “mask-fishing” endemic that people have reportedly grown more self-conscious and increasingly anxious over the need to bare their face – and therefore expose their skin insecurities and perceived appearance flaws – after 2 long years of hiding behind a mask.
Enter Regenosis, a team of medical professionals that seek to innovate and reform the way beauty and health are viewed and treated in the world. Backed by a large panel of established doctors, dieticians and scientists, Regenosis seeks to renew one’s faith and confidence in themselves by addressing the underlying damages that are accumulated over time in their body through holistic and highly-personal rejuvenation programmes. From utilising cutting-edge medtech like DNA sequencing to fully customise a health and beauty routine for each client down to the molecular level, to more “low-fi” programmes like doctor-guided dietary and fitness regimes, Regenosis seeks to influence the external factors that cause skin ageing, physical blemishes and ill-health, to achieve a wholly natural look that predates one’s true age.
Together with their Chief Scientific Officer, Professor Brian Kennedy, a Professor in the Departments of Biochemistry and Physiology at NUS and Director of the Centre for Healthy Longevity in NUHS, Regenosis co-discovered and created Rejuvant LifeTabs at Buck Institute for Research on Aging.
Rejuvant LifeTabs help rejuvenate one’s body and maintain vitality by introducing Alpha-Ketoglutarate (AKG) into their diet, which extends lifespan and prolongs one’s healthiest years by retarding age-related disease (Wu et al., 2016). Due to its use of Calcium-AKG, Rejuvant LifeTabs is the only health supplement in the world to be clinically proven to reverse biological age by 7 to 8 years (Demidenko et al., 2021). Rejuvant LifeTabs has been shown to provide more energy, better sleep, weight loss, bodybuilding effects, and more youthful skin for its consumers.
Rejuvant LifeTabs does not exclusively cater to the elderly but rather to anyone who is looking to live life healthily – akin to the prime of the youth – by boosting vitality and preventing age-related diseases from internal ailments to skin woes, which could plague more than just one’s physical well-being, but their mental health as well.
