SMART C+: Add Power to your Passion

The city marches on to a new direction as everyone tries to lead a multi-faceted lifestyle. Success is just as important as good health, smarts are just as vital as strength, and work is not measured by time, but by impact. The new generation of movers and shakers live in the balance of packed schedules. With the demands of their professions, personal lives and responsibilities, passions, luxury, life-enhancement, and leisure pursuits found in between, they remain incredibly healthy.

It is for this specific set of individuals that Smart C+ becomes the smart choice for refreshment. A combination of real fruit juice minus the artificial coloring, added preservatives, and artificial sweeteners, Smart C+ has the vital goodness of 500 mg of Vitamin C, known to be greatly beneficial in strengthening the immune system, and repairing cells and tissues from day to day stress, be it physical or mental, in every 500 ml bottle in its varied citrus flavors: Lemon Squeeze, Orange Crush and Pomelo-Grapefruit.

Rissa Mananquil multitasks from her top priority of being a mother to her son, Enzo, to being a model, to teaching.

You don’t just look good, you feel good. When you choose to eat and drink healthy, it can transform anyone from simple to stunning - inside and out.”

Liz Uy has been one of the pioneering spirits behind Philippine fashion’s reawakening. Her life in the spotlight: from the glossy flashbulbs of photo shoots in the morning, to the searchlights of prestigious fashion events at night, does take its toll on her energy keep. To keep up with her multi-faceted lifestyle, Liz makes sure she has enough Vitamin C every day. “I like how the vitamin C keeps me going.”

Divine Lee’s success can be measured by the skyscraping amount of energy and vitality she transmits on her day to day affairs. By managing a residential empire, a luxurious clothing line, a long stream of Twitter followers, a burning passion for compassion and philanthropy, and her towering shadow in the glamorous limelight, Divine follows a schedule that is fast-paced, high-impact, and incredibly versatile. “For someone who is always on the go, I need all the vitamin C I can get to do all things fast, fresh, and on time.”

Another young mover, Anton del Rosario, center-back for the Philippine National Football Team, the Azkals, responsible for the big kick for Philippine football’s reemergence.

RJ Ledesma has tasted life and is still thirsting for more! An editor of Manila’s premiere men’s magazine, an author of multiple titles on marriage, manhood, and its comedic mix-and-matching, and a tongue-in-cheek TV host, not everyone knows that he is also behind the Mercato Centrale and Midnight Mercato weekend markets, which specialize in hearty, and healthy dining. RJ acknowledges the significance of purity in both diet and lifestyle. An instructor and co-founder of Yoga Manila, he tries to keep his life balanced with a daily routine of Ashtanga Yoga. “What is important is that you have passion behind what you do,” reveals RJ, “I think it’s passion that fuels the ability to do all these tasks.”

With whatever inclination or motivation they may have, may it be the fulfillment of motherhood, flash of fashion, sky-high success, triumph of sportsmanship, the life in the spotlight or out of it, all these young achievers have one thing in common and that is passion in everything they do. A passion empowered by a healthy lifestyle that is fast, fresh, and incredibly flavorful, of which Smart C+ is a great addition to. Refreshing, convenient, and clearly citrus, Smart C+ provides us city-dwellers yet another good reason to drink our vitamin C.
