Greenfood - Super C 1000



These are actually PB's vitamin C tablets that I kinda took over... sorry PB (I got him more),

In addition to 1000mg of vitamin c, they also contain acerola (a plant known for being a good source of antioxidants), rosehip, bioflavonoids (alleged antioxidant and enhancer of vitamin C).

These are pretty big tablets, so if you have trouble with tablets perhaps pick a different vitamin C supplement.

Price: 4/5 ($26.47 for 120 tablets)
Scent: 2.5/5 (not strong, herbal acidic smell)
Effectiveness: 4/5

Doppelherz - Folsäure 800 + B6 +B12 + C + E



I got these before my diet change because I wanted to make sure I got enough folate.
Folate is essential for DNA replication, which happens in every dividing cell in your body.

These tablets are easy enough to take (if not a little on the big side).



I like the two colour design XD

Price: 5/5 ($6.18 for 40 tablets)
Scent: 2.5/5 (no real scent)
Effectiveness: 5/5

Altapharma - Brausetabletten (Effervescent Tablets) - A + C + E + Selen (Selenium)



These effervescent tablets contain selenium, folic acid, vitamin A, C, and E.

They are a blueberry and lavender flavour which I'm all about.

The taste is really good, except on the tail end I'm detecting the slightest metallic hint.


It's also a pretty colour (although not a colour I would ever wear).

It smells so nice, like the lavender and blueberry it claims to be.

For the price, these are beyond great!

Price: 5/5 ($1.55 for 20 tablets)
Taste: 4.9/5

Nutra Rise - Prenatal Multivitamin



I didn't use these as a prenatal, but as a daily supplement to aid hair and nail growth.
(Prenatal supplements are great for that.)

These have vitamins A, C, D3, E, B12, B1, and B6. They also have niacin, folic acid, calcium, iron, and zinc.

They are medium sized beige tablets

I was very disappointed with them because a lot of the tablets were broken.
Like sand through the hour glass, so is the state of these tablets.

If you were using this as a prenatal, it would be maddening, wondering if you took to little or too much.
As such, I can't recommend this brand.

It did help my hair and nails, but not as well as the Thompson's hair, skin, and nails did.

Price: 3/5 ($23.06 for 60 tablets)
Scent: 2.5/5 (very faint, mineral and acidic vitamin smell)
Effectiveness: 1/5

Vitactiv - Bio Eisen & Vitamin C (Iron & Vitamin C)



These are organic iron capsules in which the iron comes from curry leaf and vitamin C (from amla and acerola, it is used to absorb iron).

They are a medium size and easy to take.

These have been my go to iron tablets for a while and I'm no longer classed as 'severely aneamic', now I'm 'low iron'. (I don't get a lot of iron in my food.)

I'm not one no feel nauseous when I take iron tablets, and these also do not make me nauseous (not that I'm a good test). 

Price: 1/5 ($26.91 for 60 capsules)
Scent: 2.5/5 (no taste)

Salus - Floradix Sport Eisen (Iron)



This is a liquid dietary supplement with iron, B vitamins (B1, B2, B6, B12), niacin, vitamin D, vitamin C, magnesium, zinc, copper, and L-carnitine.

It's meant to aid protein synthesis, red blood cell and muscle function.

It is a brown liquid and the smell immediately takes me back to my childhood when I was given Pentavite.




It doesn't taste like Pentavite, that's for sure!
It tastes like sultanas with B vitamins, with a metallic aftertaste.

It is strong and kind of nauseating.

I wouldn't recommend it.

Price: 2/5 ($23.56 for 250mL)
Taste: 0/5

Altapharma - Eisen + Vitamine - Sauerkirsch Geschmack 



This is the best tasting iron supplement I've ever tried!

It is a fizzy tablet you dissolve in water, which makes a delicious sour cherry drink. 
Note that this is the fresh 'sour cherry' fruit flavour, not a 'sour cherry candy' flavour.



It has iron, vitamin C, vitamin B12, and folic acid.

Price: 5/5 ($0.71 for 20 tablets)
Scent: 5/5

The Body Shop - Vitamin C - Glow Boosting Moisturiser


This is an orange gel, with a orange scent.

Initially I was worried it was like those awful 'body sorbets', but this doesn't pill (thankfully).

It is a very hydrating gel and is light enough to wear on a hot summer's night.

Why not? How many guys actually bring you flowers? XP

This is a really nice, light moisturiser.

And I love the packaging! It's so clean! <3

I don't know if I would buy it again (my skin needs more oil), but it was nice.

Price: 2/5 ($34.95 for 49g)
Scent: 5/5
Effectiveness: 3/5

Avon - Anew - 10% Vitamin C Serum


I loved this!

I got so many comments while using this ("Are you ok? You look pale." = brighter skin) and I could see the improvement.

It smells citrus, oily, and slightly nutty. It soaks in well and skin immediately feel softer. 

Just remember to use it at night, as it may make your skin more sensitive to light.

Price: 2/5 ($35 for 30mL)
Scent: 4/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

The Body Shop - Vitamin C Skin Boost

This goes on after moisturising and does a bang up job of giving a matte appearance.
It contains vitamin c, camu camu and brazil nut oil, and smells delightfully like oranges!

I really loved using this product. It didn't pill or flake and gave a great base for make up.

The only negative is the price, but I feel it is worth it and you won't get buyer's regret afterward.

If you are looking for a primer that can do a bit more for you, give this a go!

Price: 1/5 (RRP $34.95 for 30mL)
Scent: 5/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

The Body Shop - Vitamin C Daily Moisturiser SPF 15


This was such a delight to used on a daily basis! It smells so nice! Like oranges (or orange-flavoured vitamin C tablet).

I like that is has SPF in it as well, nice to protect the face from the aging Sun's rays.

In addition to vitamin C, it also contains camu camu and sesame seed oil.

It goes on smoothly, soaks in well enough and doesn't feel too heavy.

Price: 3/5 ($29.95 for 50mL)
Scent: 5/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

Essenzza - Fuss Free Facials - Age to Perfection

Continuing with my love of face masks, I thought I'd mention this one... I have good and bad to say 

Good things:
 - lovely thin Japanese silk mask which moulds well to the face.
 - smells nice (you need that if something is going to sit on your face for a while).
 - it has argon oil and vitamin c (an antioxidant).

Bad things:
 - STUPID two bits of plastic! It's difficult to shape to your face if you follow their instructions and try to apply it with one side of the plastic still on... I end up just removing them both at the start.
 - Related: DON'T LIE TO ME! It is NOT 'Less messy' than other masks... I have two bits of plastic extra to deal with! BS!!!

Solution:
Platinum, baby! Thin mask with no stupid plastic sheets!


Price: 3/5 (rrp $4.95 for one... other masks cost less)
Scent: 4.5/5
Effectiveness: 3/5 (forget you, plastic!)
