O'Clair Health - Hanfpulver Kapseln - Hemp Powder Capsules



These are capsules with two natural phytocannabinoids, which are supposedly good for their cell protective and anti-inflammatory properties.

These have no THC, so they won't get you high.
It's silly that you can't get this in Australia, it cannot be enjoyed recreationally.

I take them at night right before I go to bed because they can make me feel a little nauseous.


Price: 2/5 ($61.46 for 90 capsules)
Scent: 2.5/5 (no scent or taste)
Effectiveness: 4/5

Monoderma Skin Vitamins - Lightening Anti-Aging (C10)



These little capsules in medicine-esque blister packs are quite cute.
When you open a capsule, the serum inside is a cloudy fluid that absorbs super quickly into the skin!
My skin feels so soft after using it!

The serum contains 10% ascorbic acid... and that seems to be the only active ingredient.

There is no real smell but I did accidentally taste it and it was awful! 

Price 1/5 ($49.95 for 28 x 0.5mL capsules)
Scent: 2.5/5 (no real scent)
Effectiveness: 3/5

Blossom - Royal Jelly - 1000mg


I like bees and the first half of the story 'Royal Jelly' (I never heard the second half), so I thought I'd try this.

These capsules had no taste, I didn't have an allergic reaction to them, and were easy enough to swallow (that shouldn't be a surprise for me, hur hur hur!).

Did I feel any improvement to my general well being? (bee-ing?)
Nah.

I think royal jelly is best just left for the bees.

Price: ($14.99 for 100 capsules)
Scent: 2.5/5 (none)
Effectiveness: 0/5

Thompson's - Skin, Hair & Nails - Dietary Supplement


These are my preferred vitamin supplement.
I like these ones because they (unlike so many Hair, Skin & Nail supplements contain selenium, not just silicon).

Now before we go any further, be warned.
There is a FINE LINE between selenium RDI and the amount that will 'uck with your shi' (including death)

Ok, this is for fish, but you get the idea.

Having said that, I know what to look for in terms of overdose symptoms and what is a safe dose.
And I can take 2 of these tablets a day and be fine.

(Also please be careful with any mineral or vitamin supplement, it is possible to OD on many things. Be nice to your body and ask your (MD) doctor)

When I take them, I notice my nails are stronger/grow faster and my hair grows faster.


I already take pretty good care of my skin (or else it's a jerk), so I don't notice much of a change in that department.

I would recommend taking these with food because the taste can 'repeat' on you otherwise (you burp and can taste them up to 2 hours later).

Price: 2/5 ($39.95 for 90 capsules)
Scent: 2.5/5 (no real smell)
Effectiveness: 5/5

As with any supplement, please also check that it isn't a homeopathic 'remedy'. These are basically just water and DEFINITELY a scam.
Save your money.
