I am on a quest to unlock secrets of life-long health and beauty. This is my playground, my sandbox, my bag of tricks... I am a firm believer that we can achieve ultimate health and happiness through good nutrition and balanced living. “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food” with a little supplementation on the side. My reviews reflect my leanings about food, nutrition and chemistry. I will be posting updates to my older reviews as I uncover new facts and observe subtle correlations and dependencies.

Questionable Fillers

Posted on Jul 02, 2012

10 people found the following review helpful

Purchased at iHerb

This product contains magnesium stearate. Magnesium stearate and stearic acid are major T-cell suppressors and creators of a biofilm in the gut. Biofilm acts as an effective barrier to the absorption of not only that particular supplement that contains magnesium stearate, but ALL the nutrients you'd normally get from food sources as well. Hence, one star.

Before this one I used a different products that actually smelled like turmeric. Also I am not sure it has the same anti-inflammatory fighting power. I recently had to ingest gluten for the sake of testing. This supplement did not quell the fire the way the other brand does (Paradise Herbs, Organics, Turmeric). I switched from Paradise Herbs to Now Food because I was not sure about Paradise Herbs certification claims, since they are not GMP, but DEA and OTC compliant. The latter two and more about controlled substances, but not manufacturing practices. But after discovering that Now Foods turmeric contains magnesium stearate, I will certainly switch back. Magnesium stearate and stearic acid are major T-cell suppressors and creators of a biofilm in the gut. Biofilm acts as an effective barrier to the absorption of not only that particular supplement that contains magnesium stearate, but ALL the nutrients you'd normally get from food sources as well.

This is a good one to test if your physician is educated enough to know underpinning to a multitude of conditions, which can be addressed through smart supplementation. Unfortunately most of the general practitioners are brainwashed by pharmaceutical companies pushing blockbuster drugs.

Cannot be more pure

The capsules are from fish gelatin. Such a rarity! I take it over any other from of gelatin. Unlike ubiquinone, ubiquinol form of CoQ10 is highly bioactive, it does not require prior conversion in the body. Since we lose the natural ability to convert ubiquinone with age, older individuals should take ubiquinol for maximum effect. Pricey, but is is worth it.

This mask not only cleans, it also tightens and lifts the skin. Make sure to keep a serene expression while having it on and all your frown lines will be gone in 10- minutes.

Very gentle with a slight tightening action. For those who may need to build up collagen beheath the skin surface, using this gell is not enough.

This scrub has fine consistency. With added water it is almost creamy. Make sure to follow up with recovery serum.

So soft and smooth

Makes my skin soft and smooth. One problem I have with this product is packaging. Having some sort of a dropper or a pump dispenser would be valuable. Just tipping a bottle makes one loose a lot of product and create oily spills.

This form of CoQ10 contains ubiquinone, which requires conversion to ubiquinol. This conversion process may be impaired in older people. For better bio-viability get ubiquinol form of CoQ10. Aside from that this product looks like it is fairly clean with no questionable fillers.

Terrific soap, terrible pump

Posted on Nov 23, 2009

2 people found the following review helpful

Purchased at iHerb

Everyone seem to go with antibactrerial soaps these days contributing to having more strains of resistant bacteria. But what one really needs is to clean hands thoroughly. No harsh chemicals are required. This soap is very delicate on your skin and it goes a long way. The pump is terrible, though to the point that made me quit. It is leaking, letting out globs on the bottle and surfaces. After a week the bottle looks like a burned out wax candle.
