Alex Gonzaga has always been open about her personal life, including her struggles with pregnancy. The actress and content creator revealed that she suffered three miscarriages in 2021, 2023, and 2024.
Despite the heartbreak, Alex said she has found comfort and renewed hope through a wellness routine centered on Chef Ayb’s Paragis, a local herbal tea brand with which she now partners.
“Before, my menstrual cycle was irregular due to stress and frequent travel. When I started drinking Chef Ayb’s Paragis, my cycle became regular,” Alex shared. “Eventually, I got pregnant. Even though I had miscarriages, it made me believe that I’m capable of getting pregnant.”
The 37-year-old said Paragis tea has helped improve her overall well-being, easing her anxiety and improving her sleep. Her husband, Mikee Morada, also takes the tea to help manage his blood pressure.
Chef Ayb, the founder of the Filipino wellness brand, said that the product is rooted in the healing properties of the Paragis grass. Known for its detoxifying, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant benefits, Paragis has become central to her advocacy for natural healing and well-being.
It all began in 2017, when Chef Ayb witnessed how Paragis helped relieve her grandmother’s arthritis symptoms. Moved by this experience, she explored the grass’s medicinal qualities and eventually made it her mission to raise awareness about its life-changing effects.
Her passion for holistic health led to the creation of Chef Ayb’s Paragis, with each tea bag crafted to preserve the natural essence of Paragis while delivering a smooth and rich flavor. Eight years later, the brand has grown into a trusted name in natural wellness, offering safe, simple, and affordable health solutions for Filipinos.
“I always make sure that every Chef Ayb’s Paragis product is of high quality because we want our customers to have a safe and enjoyable journey to wellness,” said Chef Ayb. “Our mission is to raise awareness that in every tea bag crafted by our team, there’s a potential to improve your health and wellness.”
To further her advocacy for natural healing, Chef Ayb has partnered with actress Alex whose personal health journey aligns with the brand’s purpose.
“I always make sure that every Chef Ayb’s Paragis product is of high quality because we want customers to have a safe and enjoyable journey to wellness,” said Chef Ayb.
With Alex as her new business partner and Mikee Morada as ambassador, Chef Ayb hopes to reach more Filipinos who are exploring natural ways to take care of their health.
“The partnership between Chef Ayb and me is very collaborative,” Alex said. “We share the same goal—to make healthy options available and accessible to everyone.”
