Metamucil Daily Fibre Supplement (Smooth Orange, 30 Sachets)

I cannot stress enough how good this variety tastes. It's like Fanta minus the sugar (great for diabetics). Flavour is important to me because that's what keeps me going with any drinkable supplement or not. I know this isn't the most economic Metamucil version, but it's the best for my needs. Having this individual sachets means that the product does not get rancid or loses any of its properties. Also, I can carry a sachet in my purse if I decide to take this during the day not in the morning. The most important thing is it adds fibre to my diet in periods where I tend to eat less greens and salads, or when my diet changes because, for example, I'm travelling and eating naughty stuff.

Nature's Way Restore 30 Billion Probiotic 30 Capsules

I've  used this brand of probiotics before, the regular version, for years, on an off, depending on my needs. I used as a preventive sort of supplement and to keep a healthy intestinal flora. I never tried this concentrated version till now due to some medication affecting my digestion and regularity. I saw results in a day, noticeable results in three days and my body was working like a clock after a week.  This is a relatively simple probiotic, in the sense that it has just 4 probiotic strains but in high dose. It worked for me, probably because I have healthy eating habits and general good health. I'm happy that I got the relief I needed and didn't have to pay for the way more expensive 15-strain varieties, because just these four were sufficient. The tablets don't need of refrigeration, so I can keep them in my pantry ,or on my desk or wherever I want to without worry of them getting off.

Australian Natural Care 500mg Korean Ginseng Super Strength Capsules (50 Count)

  I have been using these capsules since I bought this bottle, 4 weeks ago or so. I was feeling tired and sluggish at work, especially mentally, with low stamina and needed of an energy boost as, for the rest, I'm a healthy person. I have never taken a Ginseng supplement on its own, so I decided to buy these bottle as advertise as 'energy support' and the product seemed to provide the support I need. The bottle has a good clean design (by the way, it has changed from the one on the photo in the product page), the capsules are good quality, easy to swallow, have no after-taste and my stomach hasn't shown any sensitivity to them, all of which is great. Although I noticed a slight improvement in my energy levels at a physical level, my stamina hasn't shown a significant improvement either physically or mentally . That being the case, I won't buy this product again.

Cenovis St John’s Wort, 60 Tablets

This is an amazing product that I've used for years during periods of great work stress, grieving, and personal relationship upheavals that affect my mood. St John's Wort is scientifically proven to treat mild anxiety and depression (I actually researched this before I took it for the first time, because I don't trust just the cover of any supplement). I take this occasionally, so I don't consider this a medication, but a short-term solution when I cannot mentally or emotionally cope with tough life situations and taking into account that I don't suffer from any psychological illness. I usually take 2 tablets a day for a couple of weeks and it's enough for me. The longest I've taken this is a for a month. I usually see results quite rapidly, in a week, and my anxiety and negative thoughts calm down and I see an improvement. Unlike friends/family that have used this, I don't get sleepy, so I take it usually in the mornings. This is a must-have in my fist-aid kit.

Cenovis Vitamin C Chewable Tablets

I love anything chewable, especially if it has orange flavour. So this chewable Vitamin C tablets are my kind of thing, totally. I have used them periodically, especially in the winter months, to boost my immune system and help me when I have to alleviate a cold, or I am getting skin rashes or minor health problems. They are very easy to store and to carry around, great for travelling, and they are sugarless, something I love. They are good-priced, especially if you buy the jumbo size jar. The dose of Vitamin C in each table is medium (500 mgs), so I tend to take two at the time if I am feeling sick. My only concern with this product is the fact that the composition of the same is nowhere to be seen on the package or even on the website of the brand, where only the concentration of Vitamin C is mentioned. That is odd, to say the least, and not good if you have some dietary allergies or limitations and need to know what exactly is in any product you buy.
