Phiten Titanium Necklaces for Pain and General Wellbeing

What do Olympian Bea Lucero-Lhuiller,Davis Cupper Cecil Mamiit, Grand Slam tennis champ Nino Alcantara and actor/sports enthusiast Richard Gomez have in common?

They are users of Phiten titanium necklaces, a new product to relieve pain and promote over all wellbeing.I heard about this from a friend and though a bit skeptical, I checked it out and ended up buying one myself. My first visit, the salesladies where handing out the 2 inch Titanium tapes as product samples. I had shoulder pain and a stiff neck that day and on their suggestion I placed the tape on those areas when I got home. The following day, the pain was gone.

Phiten Titanium Necklaces and Products

The next visit, I was fortunate enough to meet Emerson Noceda, Phiten Rakuwa supervisor, who explained to me the benefits of the product. He says anyone can benefit from wearing Phiten to help aid in counteracting stress and fatigue. First worn by US major league baseball players, professional athletes, even the King of Pain Todd Medina when it was introduced several years ago in the US, these athletes found out that they tire less easily and recover faster from intense physical activity.

The secret, Noceda says, is titanium and silica, which is evenly distributed at the front and runs along the sides of the necklace. A Japanese by the name of Yoshihiro Hirata, discovered a process that allows carbonized water-soluble forms of titanium, gold and silver to be incorporated into fibers and fabrics. This water-soluble material called Aquametal helps the body maintain a relaxed state by influencing, restoring and balancing bio-electricity in the body. When worn, it helps improve blood circulation, promote the natural healing process of the body and enhance performance during physical activities.Silica was later on added for its ability to boost the immune system.

Since they opened the flagship store in Edsa Shangrila in 2007 there has been a steady increase in sales so they opened another one in Mall of Asia (tel# 5567243). Phiten's official distributor is the Lhuillier-owned Sports, Entertainment, Event Management, Inc. (SEEMI). Planetsports, Chris Sports, Sporthouse, Toby's and other sports hobby shops also carry Phiten products. But to ensure that you are buying original products, as there are China-made imitations now flooding the market, you have to look for the dealership sticker prominently located at the store counter.

They have the very classic-looking high end necklaces:Lleyton Hewitt (Php11,995), X-30 Players Plate Crepe (Php7,495) and X-50 (Php2,995). This is recommended for professional athletes since the titanium content is larger. The slimmer and more fashionable-looking X-50 Regular and 3-Line necklace are for everyday use and retails for Php2,295. I got the 3-Line necklace instead because it is waterproof, the same one I had seen worn by Richard Gomez at a media event.

The first week, I ran, played tennis and went to the gym. I slept late nights writing articles for this site and at the back of my mind, I realized the lack of sleep might lower my blood pressure, a recurring ailment since college. Nothing happened by end week. I passed the necklace on to a friend who was having her period at the time. That same day I cajoled her into running the length of the baywalk at Mall of Asia with me for the first time. Guess who was feeling leg soreness and lower back pain the following day? By noon, my friend was asking me to play tennis. I, on the other hand, was lying in bed feeling dizzy and still sore. My late nights have finally caught up with me.

Other items in the line are the Phiten Rakuwa bracelets: 3-Line Skeleton (Php1,595) and the Rakuwa Leather strap (Php2,895). They also carry the Aqua Titan Belt Single (Php4,795) for women and supports/guards and apparel for pro athletes.

The items are pricey, yes, but you have to take my word for it. One reason I was out looking for a product to relieve pain is because my mom has osteoarthritis that causes pain in her knees. She goes through physical therapy at least twice a week. For regular everyday pain, of course, quick fixes such as popping a pill or warm compress may do the trick. But before you reach for that bottle of Ibuprofen or paracetamol, you might want to consider other ways to relieve headache or pain that not only offers relief but with an added bonus, overall wellbeing.
