With the threat of the pandemic still very much present in the country, a simple cough is enough to cause heightened anxiety these days because it is one of the most common symptoms of COVID-19. Unlike before where this matter was usually taken lightly by most, the current situation has people rushing to find a solution when the first signs of a cough arise.
Coughs are our
bodies’ natural response to expel unwanted organisms from our lungs caused by
allergies, irritants, asthma, and the most common of all, viruses. Although
coughs caused by common viruses go away in time, it's better to treat them as
soon as possible and equip our bodies with added immunity for faster recovery.
In the Philippines,
only one cough medicine combines the trusted formulation of Solmux with an
essential mineral for faster recovery: Solmux
Advance, the only one with Zinc! This unique and powerful combination of
Carbocisteine and Zinc is proven effective to reduce cough bouts in as fast as
3 days, compared to the usual 10 to 14 days of recovery. The addition of
Zinc to Carbocisteine not only liquifies sticky phlegm, but also improves the
body’s immunity for faster recovery from cough.
Carbocisteine is
scientifically proven to treat cough with phlegm and other respiratory tract
disorders, and have properties that inhibit viruses and bacteria, making it
more difficult for microorganisms to cause infections. The right levels of
Zinc, on the other hand, can help speed up recovery from infections like the
common cold through its action on immunity. It also activates white blood cells
to help the body fight off viruses including coronaviruses.
Given the continued
increase in COVID-19 cases every day plus the occurrence of other viral
respiratory infections, Filipinos can protect themselves and their loved ones
with a more advanced 2-in-1 solution for faster cough relief.
To celebrate this milestone, the country’s leading superstore has prepared lots of exciting activities and promos as a treat to its loyal members.
Kicking off the festivities is Landers’ super offer of 50% off on membership fees until June 30, 2021. This means that new and existing members may renew or avail of membership for only P400 and business membership for only P500.

The festivities will culminate in a special online musical show
featuring power couple and Landers ambassadors Sarah Geronimo and Matteo
Guidicelli.
“This is our way of saying ‘thank you’ to everyone who supported Landers Superstore since it started,” says Landers president Gwen Lim. “Reaching 5 years in the industry in these times is a great reason to celebrate, especially with the challenges brought on by the pandemic. With this offer, we expect more people to enjoy our special deals and benefits.”
In the past 5 years, Landers has won the hearts of Filipino families with its array of top-notch products, some of which are not found in other local stores. Aside from that, they have also gained a reputation for offering awesome perks that truly level up the shopping experience.
