Luis Manzano for SweetVia

For over a decade, Santé has successfully positioned itself as a trusted industry leader in the Philippines, consistent in developing and distributing premier natural and organic health and wellness products and services. The company culminates the second quarter of 2021 as it formally welcomes Luis Manzano as the official endorser of SweetVia – a sweetener from a natural source with amazing health benefits.  

SweetVia contains potent natural plant ingredients, such as Chicory Root Fiber Inulin and Stevia (Stevia Rebaudiana) - a safe and non-toxic herbal extract that aids in keeping blood sugar low. 1In both human and animal studies, the addition of inulin has been found to normalize blood lipid and glucose levels (Gibson & Delzenne). Also, it showed a reduction in food intake and decreased body weight. On the other hand, 2Stevia is an accepted sugar substitute that can contribute to weight management and improved caloric control. And unlike other sugary foods, stevia inhibits the formation of cavities and plaque (Elkins, 1997).

What’s the Best Shade of Green?  

Life is what you make of it, they say. That is why, amid today's “new normal,” leading a healthy lifestyle is a commitment you can give yourself to ensure that you are at your best despite uncertainties.  

Take it from celebrity fitspirations and triathletes Matteo Guidicelli and “Kuya” Kim Atienza, both ambassadors of Santé, a provider of premier natural and organic health and wellness products and services.

Working together with Santé, Matteo and Kuya Kim also believe that leading a healthy lifestyle can only be achieved by committing to it. According to them, it is still easier to accomplish something when you share it with people who motivate and challenge you to go further.
