KUALA LUMPUR, Mar 3, 2025 - (ACN Newswire) - The Tapping Tapir, Malaysia's pioneering brand of naturally flavoured sparkling beverages, has introduced the latest addition to its gutC prebiotic drink range – Mix Berry. The new flavour was officially unveiled at the brand's wellness-driven Valentine's Day event at Pickle Nation, themed "Self-Love and Gut Love." This unique gathering blended fitness, mindfulness, and social connection, reinforcing the importance of gut health and self-care in daily life.
Since its inception in 2013, The Tapping Tapir has been dedicated to crafting all-natural, additive-free beverages made from real fruit juices, spices, and herbs.

With the launch of Mix Berry, gutC now features four unique flavours: Mix Berry, Peach, Grape, and Lychee – the latter being an exclusive offering at 7-Eleven outlets. Each variant is carefully formulated with prebiotics (Inulin & Apple Cider Vinegar) to support digestion, Vitamin C to strengthen the immune system, and less than 2g of sugar, keeping each can under 15 calories for a guilt-free, refreshing beverage experience.

Attendees were treated to an array of immersive experiences that highlighted movement, mindfulness, and social connection.
Participants took part in pickleball training sessions, where beginners were introduced to the fast-growing sport under expert guidance. Wellness expert Piyachai Teo led guided meditation and breathwork workshops, promoting relaxation and stress relief. The event also featured an invigorating ice bath recovery experience, showcasing the benefits of cold therapy for muscle recovery and mental clarity. Throughout the day, guests were invited to visit sampling stations, where they had the first taste of the new gutC Mix Berry, alongside other beverages from The Tapping Tapir.
The highlight of the event was a social pickleball tournament, which saw friendly competition among influencers, celebrities, and professional pickleball players. Among the notable attendees were Toi Sieu Ee, Malaysia's No. 2-ranked pickleball player, alongside well-known personalities such as Cik Manggis, Mark O'Dea, Luqman Hafidz, and Intan Sarah.

Nail art with the group chat is the new salon night
Big Night In is a series where Canadian experts and creatives share advice on how to spend a magical night at home. It's the ultimate guide to staying in — whether solo or with friends — featuring thoughtfully curated ideas that are anything but routine. Take the gossip and deep chats offline for a nail-art session together. It's cheaper and more relaxed than a trip to the salon, and gives you the perfect excuse to hang while helping each other with tricky designs. "It helps if you're in a group with an even number of people so you can work in pairs," said nail-art content creator Alison Nguyen. "That way, you can work on each other's nails or get some assistance, especially with your non-dominant hand." For a salon experience at home, Nguyen recommends ensuring your "nail station" — whether you're using a desk or coffee table — is decluttered, dust-free and stocked with nail care standards: files, clippers, alcohol wipes and clean brushes for tidying up any mistakes. She also likes to use cuticle softener, a cuticle pusher, a nail buffer and a bright LED light, which you can invest in to take things to the next level. When it comes to polish, Nguyen prefers a gel formula. But don't worry about breaking the bank on a whole new collection if you're just starting out. "Invest in a few shades you love, and if you want a lighter or darker shade, you can play around and mix the polishes together," she said. Picking a theme for your nail-art session can be a fun way to stir up excitement and inspiration at the start of the night. "I like to focus on any holidays coming up and come up with a classic nail look incorporating elements of [that day]," said Nguyen. For example, for Valentine's Day, she'd opt for a "French tip with some dainty heart details." Whatever design you settle on, the process is the same: start by filing your nails, do some cuticle prep, then get painting. Work on your non-dominant hand first while sipping on your drinks and chatting about life, Nguyen advises. Then, when it's time to paint your dominant hand, ask each other for help. Her top tips to help things go smoothly? Take your time, keep your cleanup brush on standby and remember that less is more. "Don't pick up too much gel polish on the brush to avoid flooding and getting it on your skin," she said. And, unlike a trip to the salon, there's no need to usher your friends out when you're done. Nguyen suggests putting on a movie and enjoying some dinner as you admire your fresh new nails.

Dr. Li Chen, the founder and CEO of the Company, went on stage to receive the award and delivered a speech as a representative of the enterprises. Innovative enterprises are an important part of Shanghai's modern industrial system and the source of vitality for Shanghai's high-quality development. In recent years, innovative enterprises in Shanghai have been growing and developing rapidly, having an obvious driving effect on the industry. The enterprises awarded this time are from key industrial fields such as integrated circuits, biomedicine, artificial intelligence, digital economy, and emerging strategic comprehensive industries.

As a global innovation leader in the GKA field, Hua Medicine has received national-level awards on multiple occasions during the research and development period and after the product launch, and has undertaken major national projects. These include being consecutively selected as a major new drug development special project under the "12th Five-Year Plan" and the "13th Five-Year Plan' by the Ministry of Science and Technology, and winning the First Prize of the Science and Technology Award of the Chinese Pharmaceutical Association, among others. Currently, Hua Medicine is actively carrying out the development of the second-generation GKA and fixed combination preparations, aiming to bring more innovative and good drugs to patients in China and even globally in the fields of diabetes and its complications, such as obesity and diabetic nephropathy. As a representative of the enterprises, Dr. Li Chen said in his speech at the awarding ceremony: "Coinciding with the new era and new journey of Shanghai accelerating the construction of a scientific and technological innovation center and fully promoting the upgrading and development of strategic emerging industries, Hua Medicine being recognized as the Shanghai Innovative Enterprise Headquarters is an affirmation of the enterprise's past and also an encouragement and inspiration for the enterprise's future development. Hua Medicine will continue to leverage its advantages of conceptual innovation, technological innovation, and model innovation, keep making progress, and contribute to the construction of Shanghai's scientific and technological innovation center and the innovative development of the biomedicine industry." Receiving the title of "Shanghai Innovative Enterprise Headquarters" this time is not only an honor for Hua Medicine but also a responsibility and mission. In the future, taking this as an opportunity, Hua Medicine will continuously increase its innovation investment and the ability of achievement transformation, continuously enhance its international competitiveness, provide more high-quality innovative drugs and treatment solutions for patients, help Shanghai's biomedicine industry reach new heights, and promote the construction of the "Healthy China" strategy.
