KVP - Sitobact - Probiotic


I just took this off the net, I think it describes it best:

"Sitobact contains a coordinated mix of five strains of probiotic lactic acid bacteria. The lactic acid bacteria are especially "packed" for the passage of the stomach so that they get into the intestine alive. With the added prebiotic inulin the nutrition of the added lactic acid bacteria is ensured at the same time. In addition, Sitobact contains the essential micronutrients zinc, folic acid, vitamin D3 and vitamin B12, in addition to supporting the immune system."

So it has good bacteria, a prebiotic called inulin, and other vitamins/minerals.
It is meant to help with gut flora and thus help the immune system.

The capsules were easy to take and have no taste.

Price: 0/5 ($71.44 for 90 capsules)

Zinkorotat-POS



This is a zinc supplement with a funny name.


It's a little bit like this.

It's small and thus easy to swallow.

Price: 2/5 ($8.97 for 20 tablets)
Scent: 2.5/5 (none)
Effectiveness: 4.5/5 ( I guess, I feel better on it but I'd really need medical tests to determine this.)

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

Regulator-Köhler



This is a nutritional supplement containing the basic (as in alkaline) minerals of calcium, potassium, magnesium, and zinc.

They are sodium free, which is good if you can't have too much sodium.

They are for 'A balanced acid-base balance and a functioning energy metabolism are important prerequisites for physical and mental well-being. ' according to the bottle.

The capsules are medium-sized with a matte finish (which I'm guessing is a coating to get it past the stomach acid).

It says take 2-3 a day, I took one a day because I do what I want.




Price: 2/5 ($31.34 for 100 capsules)

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
