Silicon

BioSil has made my teeth stronger. BioSil is much better than horsetail. I also use OptiMSM - 4 grams daily. BioSil has a good bottle, a good bottle neck and a good screw bottle cap. The seal leaves no sticky residue. There is a piece of cotton on the inside and an absorbent for freshness. BioSil has good ingredients and no bad fillers.

Thorne Research, Basic B Complex, 60 Veggie Caps

Excellent B-Complex

Posted on Sep 15, 2009

Purchased at iHerb

This is a well balanced formula with good forms of B vitamins. 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) is the biologically active form of folate. Some people cannot convert folate to 5-MTHF. And unlike folic acid, 5-MTHF is able to cross the blood-brain barrier. Calcium folinate is a metabolically active reduced form of folate. I don't use folic acid anymore.

Eclectic Institute, Garlic, 550 mg, 120 Capsules

Very nice garlic

Purchased at iHerb

This is the only organic fresh freeze dried garlic on the market. It smells good, tastes good and works good. I will probably only use this garlic product from now on, unless the price goes higher. Life is better on garlic!

Weleda Lip Balm

I use this when I go out in public, because it does seem to be less shiny than Alba Passion Fruit Lip Balm. I actually like Alba better, so I use Alba when I'm at home.

Jarrow Formulas, L-Tryptophan, 500 mg, 60 Veggie Caps

Helps with sleep

Posted on Jan 20, 2010

Purchased at iHerb

I usually take tryptophan 30 minutes before my last meal of the day. I eat my last meal around 8:30 pm. I take 1-2 capsules of tryptophan, but I also use sublingual melatonin (I'm over 40 and melatonin definitely helps me). I've needed less melatonin, since using tryptophan. This does have fillers, magnesium stearate and silicon dioxide. I like the regular screw bottle cap, although I'd like the bottleneck to be a little more flush with the cap. I am undecided which brand I like best. I like a pure product and a good bottle and a regular screw cap.

Organic by Nature, Pure Planet, Hawaiian Spirulina, 500 Veggie Caps

Excellent!

Posted on May 13, 2009

Purchased at iHerb

Pure Planet Spirulina is a top-quality product. No fillers and a glass bottle with a good seal. I like the chlorophyll, minerals and the immune-boosting phytochemicals. I also use some chlorella and barley grass. This is the biggest pill bottle I've ever had! The cap could be a bit smoother at the edge or perhaps a bottleneck more flush with the cap.

MRM, Melatonin, 3 mg, 60 Veggie Caps

MRM Melatonin works

Posted on Mar 24, 2009

Purchased at iHerb

I usually use sublingual lozenges, but sometimes I take 1 capsule and 1 sublingual. Thankfully, there is no child safety cap on this bottle unlike some other MRM products. Veggie capsules and no silica. The price is better on NOW melatonin, although I hate their bottle caps. I will probably stick with NOW when it comes to capsules. NOW claims a minimum purity of 99%.

Now Foods, Melatonin, 3 mg, 180 Capsules

No Longer Pharmaceutical Grade - minimum purity of 99% only

Posted on Mar 24, 2009

Purchased at iHerb

NOW melatonin was a minimum purity of 99.6%. However, it still works. I usually use sublingual, but sometimes I use capsules. Nice capsules - just natural rice powder - no silica or other junk. Overall a good product at a good price. I'm glad it has no child safety cap, but I don't like these flip caps - I like screw caps.

Trimedica DHEA capsules

Posted on Jan 10, 2010

Purchased at iHerb

I like that this is micronized. I am a 40 yr old male and DHEA makes me feel better. Good bottle and cap, but the bottle needs a better neck, so it's more flush with the cap. No magnesium stearate, just some rice flour.

Twinlab Cellmins Magnesium and Potassium

Posted on Feb 13, 2009

Purchased at iHerb

I like this better than magnesium citrate capsules, plus this has potassium. According to the label, this is a superior form of magnesium. I like to take magnesium and a B-Complex for stress. Nice glass bottle and cap. I don't take the full dose because, I still take 1 ZMA capsule a day, which has 150 mg of magnesium.
