I was eager to test out the new GKB products because I have been tackling digestive problems for awhile. These products are intended to improve “intestine” health. I have to admit that after using all five of their targeted products, I am incredibly pleased with the outcomes.
Gut Savior – GKB Probio+ I started out by using the GKB Probio+ dubbed as the Gut Savior. I found this probiotic supplement to be very helpful in enhancing my digestion, reducing constipation and diarrhoea because it contains 5 types of live, functional probiotics and 4 types of prebiotics. After taking it consistently, I also noticed an improvement in my immunity and an increase in my energy level.
Stomach Essential – GKB Probizymes GKB Probizymes, which is designed especially for people with prolonged gastric distension, gastric pain, and acid reflux, was the next product I tried. I discovered that it assisted in easing my stomach discomfort, allowing me to enjoy my meals without suffering any unpleasant side effects.
GKB Lactobacillus Rhamnosus Plus My wife tried the GKB Lactobacillus Rhamnosus Plus as her wellness and skincare requirements. This probiotic strain is renowned for its capacity to lessen skin sensitivity, pimples and eczema issues as well as prevent gastrointestinal diseases. After taking this dietary supplement for a few weeks, I noticed that her skin cleared up and gained radiance. It also helps in improving women’s health.
GKB G-Pro Gold I tried the GKB G-Pro Gold to help with my constipation problems. This supplement contains 10 different types of probiotics and two different types of prebiotics, and I discovered that it significantly improved my gut flora, which reduced my irritable bowel syndrome symptoms (IBS).
GKB Lactobacillus Plantarum GKM3 The GKB Lactobacillus Plantarum GKM3, which is made to absorb body fat and lessen calorie absorption, was the last product I tried. I was initially dubious, but after taking it for a few weeks, I saw some weight loss and an improvement in the moisture and UV damage to my skin. As a content creator, I really need this to shed off those extra weights I gained from my food reviews.
Overall, I’m very pleased with the selection of products that GKB offers. Each product is designed with particular ingredients to address particular gastrointestinal problems, and I discovered that they all had positive effects on my overall gut health.
GKB Introduces Mushroom-Based Health Products for Brain Health In addition to their probiotic line, GKB recently introduced mushroom-based health products as part of their 2023 goal to encourage healthy living among Malaysians. The most common cause of dependency and disability in elderly populations worldwide is Alzheimer’s disease. Clinical research by Grape King Bio has demonstrated that active components extracted from the lion’s mane mushroom, including the active component Erinacine A, enhance memory and guard against Alzheimer’s disease. Mycelium with Erinacine A is present in GKB’s Lion’s Mane Mushroom supplement, making it a promising source of nutrition for brain health and a potential help for people with brain degeneration.
GKB Promotes Health and Wellness in Malaysia GKB (GK BIO International Sdn. Bhd.) is a joint venture between All Cosmos Bio-Tech Holding Corporation and Grape King Bio from Taiwan. The company was established in 2018 with the objective of promoting health and wellness by providing quality health products to Malaysians at affordable prices. Since its inception, GKB has helped over 1 million Malaysians maintain a healthy lifestyle.
In order to ensure the highest levels of product safety, quality, and manufacturing standards, all products under GKB are certified with the following labels: PICIS GMP, IS022000, HACCP, NSF GMP, TOF HALAL, TFDA secondary quality control certification, Malaysian GMP excellent manufacturing standard certification, FSSC 22000, and ISO/IEC TAF 17025.
GKB’s probiotics and mushrooms are cultivated by 145 R&D scientists, and innovative biotechnology is used in cultivating highly acid-resistant, active, healthy and beneficial bacteria, which improve physiological functions, help maintain digestive tract functions, and promote overall bowel habits.
For your information, GKB’s probiotics are manufactured with antioxidant multilayer encapsulation technology and in granular form, making them unique compared to other health supplement companies. GKB is the only health supplement company with 4 multilayer coating for its probiotics, to ensure the probiotics enter the intestines and intact at high survival rate.
Recently, GKB achieved a new sales peak, selling more than 1 million boxes of Antrodia products, 1 million boxes of Cicadae products, and 1 million sachets of Probiotics products. GKB Lactobacillus Plantarum GKM3 is currently the best seller, with sales of more than 2 bottles per hour, reflecting the trust that customers have in GKB’s products.

The Roborock S8 Series is now available in Malaysia, thanks to Roborock, a creator of ultra-intelligent home robotics engineered to make life easier. The company used the impending Raya holiday as an opportunity to introduce a new product line that it hopes will help further up its game in the market.
“When Roborock first launched in Malaysia in 2019, our goal was to provide a convenient solution for those who spend a lot of time at home and need a product that helps them free up their hands and reduce the amount of cleaning they have to do.”
said Mr. Elvis Wang, Overseas Sales Director of Roborock.
Roborock’s Innovation and Growth As a result of growing urbanisation, rising disposable incomes, and the expanding trend towards smart homes, the industry is anticipated to continue to grow in the years to come, according to the company. Roborock will keep taking their price points into consideration, raising consumer awareness and offering above-par customer service as a company that sells reasonably priced luxury vacuum cleaner products. Unquestionably, it will provide even more functionality and capabilities with the launch of the S8 series, another genuinely revolutionary product from Roborock. The company is confident that their product can stand up to those from other global brands.
Roborock, which has been operating in Malaysia for almost five years, has established itself as a market leader in the field of AI-powered robot vacuum cleaners. It is one of the top-selling products in the Malaysian market thanks to its excellent functionality and performance.
“We are confident about our market growth in Malaysia because we know the demand for our products. We are grateful to our partners Lazada, Shopee, and TikTok as they are key e-commerce platforms that have enabled us to grow our sales exponentially. This year, we plan to open our own retail store to provide customers with a more complete shopping experience. We look forward to expanding our key business strategies to tap into the Malaysian market.”
said Ms. Joan Hu, Asia-Pacific Director of Roborock.
Being Competitive and Stand Out in the Market Roborock has established a reputation as an inventive robot vacuum cleaner that is highly regarded by its customers worldwide. The fact that the company has a strong R&D team, in which they have invested heavily and which is made up of talented engineers, scientists, manufacturing experts, and designers, is a crucial factor in the brand’s competitiveness and ability to stand out in the market.
Daphne Iking & Adam Lobo Share Their Experience Datuk Wira Lee Chong Wei and Tan Boon Heong, two prominent national athletes, served as special guests at the 2021 product launch, which was broadcast live online. This time, Roborock worked with Malaysian celebrity Daphne Iking, who shared her experience with the product as someone who runs a household with kids and wants her home clean after being away at work and has a busy family who wants to make cleaning easier as well as and tech reviewer Adam Lobo, who shares his feedback and insights after using the products.
“Roborock’s advanced cleaning technology ensures that every corner of your home is thoroughly cleaned, leaving you with a fresh and healthy living space. This is especially important during festive seasons like Hari Raya when families come together to celebrate. With Roborock, Malaysian families will have to spend less time cleaning and more time enjoying the holidays with family. Thanks to its efficiency and effectiveness, Roborock gives families more time together.”
said Mr. Henry Zhu, Overseas GTM Director of Roborock.
Roborock S8 Product Series Roborock has over the years released the Roborock S5, S6, and S7 into the Malaysian market. The Roborock S8 series, which features dual roller brushes and improved suction power, is the company’s attempt to raise the bar this year.
The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra, the Roborock S8+, and the Roborock S8 are the three models in the series that are offered. The top-of-the-line S8 Pro Ultra model comes equipped with the new RockDock Ultra system, which offers self-cleaning, automatic mop cleaning, and dust emptying and refilling. Mould and odour on the mop pad and dock are also avoided by warm air drying.
When mopping the floor, the VibraRise 2.0 Mopping System on the S8 Pro Ultra and S8+ vibrates 3,000 times per minute to remove stains. For the best cleaning results, the S8 Pro Ultra also features two vibration modes.
Additionally, all new models come with a system with two rubber roller brushes, as opposed to the previous Roborock models’ single brush.
The new dual system can also pick up dirt better while dealing with matted hair more effectively. For anyone who has pets that shed inside the house, this is particularly favorable.
The dual brush system of the S8 Pro Ultra automatically raises 6 mm when the robot vacuum is in mopping mode and returns to the docking station in order to prevent cross-contamination.
Superior cleaning performance is achieved by increasing suction power on all three Roborock S8 series models to 6,000Pa. These top-notch Roborock products are a fantastic way to keep your house clean and tidy.
Pricing and Availability Beginning in March 2023, the Roborock S8 series will be offered at AiHome stores in IOI City Mall, One Utama, Mid Valley Megamall, Setapak Central Mall, Sunway Velocity, and iGadgets Pavilion Bukit Jalil, as well as on Shopee and Lazada. Prices for the Roborock S8+ are RM3,999, the Roborock S8 is RM2,699, and the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is RM5,599.

Upskilling women and marginalised communities with digital skills will provide new income opportunities, narrowing the gender equality gap. Gender equality requires the involvement, cooperation and support of various stakeholders. We’re pleased to be part of this encouraging collaboration between the private and public sector. MAGGI ® will work with the Ministry on grassroot community outreach with a key focus on the B40 community, offering upskilling workshops and engagement sessions to help them tap into the digital economy.”

“As we progress along to support women in their upskilling journey, it is important to remind all that we must always strive for progress and make a difference, no matter how small.
