Malaysia, 6 September 2024 â Garmin is pleased to announce that the ECG App1 is now available in Malaysia for selected smartwatches.

Through the Garmin Connect app, customers can view their history of ECG App results and create reports that can be shared with a health care provider.

Promex is excited to unveil its latest product, Essential Instant Milk Powder, contains New Zealand grass-fed milk and is added with 14 important nutrients for you and your loved ones.
In Malaysia, more than two-thirds of children arenât consuming the recommended intake for Calcium and Vitamin D, and over 20% of them are lacking in essential vitamins such as A, B1, B2 and C. [1]
Containing New Zealand grass-fed milk, Promex Essential Instant Milk Powder is carefully formulated to deliver 14 important nutrients, including 9 vitamins and 3 minerals. It is especially high in Protein, which is essential for growth and development, Calcium â helps in the development of strong bones and teeth â Magnesium, promotes absorption and retention of calcium, Vitamin C, contributes to the absorption of iron from food, and Vitamin D3, necessary for the absorption and utilisation of calcium and phosphorus.
The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) endorses the Digestible Indispensable Amino Acid Score (DIAAS) to evaluate the quality of protein sources based on their ability to supply essential amino acids [2][3]. Promex Essential Instant Milk Powder is high in Protein, providing amino acids required for protein synthesis, which helps build and repair body tissues.
Sourced only from Grass-Fed certified New Zealand farms, Promex is committed to ensure consistency in the source of our ingredients, giving you peace of mind that the milk you are consuming is of trusted quality.
New Zealand is known for its clean, beautiful and majestic grassland, providing an ideal environment for cattle and cows to graze. Globally, it is estimated that only 10% of the milk production originates from grazing system [4][5] and in New Zealand, cows graze freely on open fields and feed on natural grass [6] for over 350 days [7] a year. This allows the cows to express their natural behaviour and maintain their health. Promex is proud to be one of Malaysiaâs trusted suppliers of New Zealandâs milk, offering a value option for families who prioritise natural goodness and quality.
While milk is an excellent source of Calcium and Protein, it can often be perceived as expensive, particularly for lower-income families. This can lead to less nutritious choices in their daily diets.[8][9]
By offering an affordable option, Promex aims to provide important nutrients for all income levels. Priced at just RM1.08 per serving (240ml), Promex Essential Instant Milk Powder is a cost-effective option that delivers the nutritional benefits of New Zealand grass-fed milk along with 14 important nutrients for the whole family.
