Most valuable for lactating mothers: Check out BRAND’S® Essence of Chicken

Over 100 pharmacists from leading pharmacy chains along with other invited guests discovered “The Science Behind BRAND’S® Essence of Chicken” in a recent 2-day interactive dialogue session that was led by Senior Scientist BRAND’S® Suntory International, Dr. Jack Wong Jing Lin.

According to Dr. Wong, drinking BRAND’S® Essence of Chicken is not only good for the body and mind which reduces tiredness and improves concentration, but gives precious benefits that are most valuable for lactating mothers.


“BRAND’S® Essence of Chicken has been widely studied and supported by over 40 international scientific papers and clinical studies and it is also proven to improve the quality of colostrum and helps to boost up the quantity of breast milk.” explained Dr. Wong.

“In addition to that, knowing that Malaysian’s staple food are mostly white rice and bread, we have research showing that consumption of BRAND’S® Essence of Chicken together with white rice or bread helped reduce glycaemic response. This could be beneficial to people who are concerned about their blood sugar level.” he summarized.


BRAND’S® Essence of Chicken has long been a favourite based on trust and experience, especially among the older generation. Today’s consumers, however, are more discerning and need hard evidence for them to believe in a product that is safe and beneficial to be consumed.

During the session, the participants were also introduced to the new BRAND’S® Lutein Essence by Dr. Tan Zhen Wei, Senior Scientist BRAND’S® Suntory International. BRAND’S® Lutein Essence is the only health tonic in the market that has been developed based on science and has been proven to increase macular pigment in the eyes which is essential in filtering blue light.

“Malaysians spend an average of almost 14 hours a day on digital devices with 89% engaged with digital devices once awake and before sleep. BRAND’S® Lutein Essence helps to protect the eyes from over exposure to blue light through prolonged usage of electronic devices which can lead to various digital eye strain such as eye fatigue, dry eyes and blurred vision.” said Dr. Tan.

BRAND’S® Lutein Essence contains two important nutrients for eyes which are Lutein and Zeaxanthin, both of which have been proven to increase macular pigment in the eyes which is essential in filtering blue light.

The forum was led by BRAND’S® Suntory International Senior Scientist, Dr. Jack Wong Jing Lin who will be sharing the new benefits of consuming BRAND’S® Essence of Chicken on breastfeeding and how it helps maintain lower Glycemic response, in addition to other scientifically proven benefits. Joining him at the event will be Dr. Tan Zhen Wei, Senior Scientist BRAND’S® Suntory International, who introduce and talk about the new BRAND’S® Lutein Essence.
