Bandar Seri Begawan - Popular Malaysian artist Rosyam Nor, who is no stranger to the entertainment industry and Bruneians alike, yesterday explained to the people here that Zell-V is not a product that, when taken, will do wonders overnight.

"The cells enter the body and will have to react with the body before it naturally does its part to help improve the skin. The process begins with the internal organs and once the internal organs improve, it will then gradually improve the external part of the body - particularly the skin."

This was highlighted during a media interview with the popular artist yesterday at the Zell-V Brunei Store, just before he made a special appearance as ambassador of Zell-V at a get-together with Brunei customers, which played out at the Rizqun International Hotel.

"Zell-V has been used in Europe - especially Switzerland and Germany, for over 80 years. But for Asians, it's a little bit less and in China there have been many of such products. But why we take Germany and Switzerland is because of the technology, given that when you take a cell from a placenta, you have to do it scientifically to prevent the presence of bacteria."

Previously, people would have to travel all the way to Switzerland to get the product or treatment, making it very costly and time consuming. With the product brought here, it is more convenience and less expensive for Bruneians.

Zell-V is produced in New Zealand as the sheep from there are known to be good, because of the soil and also the fact that they don't have diseases.

Given its 80-year presence and background of international medical support, Zell-V is an excellent product.

He further pointed out that Zell-V is unlike a normal supplement, because before taking the product, a cell test will first be conducted to determine which cell stage a customer is in. The product is not meant only for the elderly, it can also be taken by children, with the best age being 20 years old.

"In Malaysia, we conducted tests on 2,000 individuals. We teamed up with the government, and found a 22-year-old who had cells of a 55-year-old. This is due to our lifestyle, our food intake and sleep disorders and so forth."

"I am 46 and you can see the before and after changes on the website. Thus, I am thankful to Zell-V because it has made me energetic... making me feel like I have the energy of a 25-year-old.

"It has also firmed up my body, and that is the beauty of putting new cells in our body.

"The product is not a new one in the global market. Zell-V will open a Spa Clinic in Malaysia to prove that it is not a product that will come and go.

"That is why even though we only have one product, we still have a lot of outlets in Malaysia, Hong Kong, Brunei and Jakarta," he said.

The actor also reminded Bruneians that there are a lot of similar products in the market, but it is crucial to see where it is produced and to ensure the technology of production is of excellent standard. Zell-V uses a technology that produces a totally clean product.

With regard to what drew his interest in becoming an ambassador for Zell-V, he explained that initially he did not know about Zell-V as it was a relatively new thing in Malaysia. That was until his neighbour gave him a supply of the product for free.

He was also unaware that his neighbour had actually written a testimonial about him, and after one year of taking Zell 'V, his neighbour had called him in for a blood test. It was then that the neighbour told him about the testimonial, which- eventually led to him becoming an ambassador for Zell-V.

"Being an ambassador is good for me and as a celebrity I have to let people know of the benefits of Zell-V, and I hope other people will also reap the benefits. In Malaysia, our product has become number one."

After taking Zell-V, Rosyam said the burst in energy was the first thing he noticed.

Prior to taking the product, he would wake up feeling tired and he also suffered severe back pains. But, fast-forward several months later, those issues became a thing of the past.

Another thing that made him realise Zell-V was helping him tremendously was when, two years ago, he had gone in for a blood test for his insurance medical check-up. The doctor was surprised to see the result and told him that at 44, his blood was 'wonderful.'

The difference between Zell-V and other products is that other products are easily purchased from pharmacy shelves. With Zell-V, customers are invited to drop by and will be briefed on the product and its benefits. When customers drop by periodically, Zell-V will run tests on their cell condition.

"Of course, discipline also plays an important role. No matter how expensive a product is, it will not react well if we do not discipline ourselves and lead a healthy lifestyle."

There are two types of Zell-V products. The less expensive soft-gel shows results but at a slower pace, compared to the treatment type, which provides faster results but is more expensive, he explained.

Meanwhile, Elliott Pang from the International Business Development of Zell-V, who was also present at the interview, noted that they have been active in promoting the health culture in Brunei.

"Health is the utmost precious thing to a person, so that is why we have been doing a lot of educating ... a lot of activities to create this culture. Along the way, there are a lot of things that we must tackle as it is not easy to change someone's mind."

Thus, we have to use a lot of professional education and activities to create awareness so people will take care of their health.

"When a person falls ill, it is inconvenient to have to take medication for a long time. So we are still continuing the promotion of a health culture, and that is why a year after the grand opening, we invited Rosyam again and we continue our efforts to promote health care in Brunei."

He further noted that Rosyam has been their ambassador since 2009 and that he has shown tremendous results. He has also wimessed and actively participated in events and activities by Zell-V.

The day later saw Rosyam making his way to the Presidential Lounge to share his Zell-V experience with Brunei customers, getting up close and personal with them.

Zell-V Brunei also made available its blood cell test equipment to provide free tests for those present.
