Healthy Options - Thread 3

[oktoberfest22]

^It's an anti-oxidant, sis. Pampaganda rin daw ng skin and improves circulation.

^^ I've been using Jason Aloe Vera gel on myself and my kids for years now, mostly as after-sun care. I don't find it any thicker than body lotions or creams. Pagka-apply parang sticky nga sya, pero it absorbs really quickly, kaya in a few seconds the stickiness disappears. I find that it's not enough as a moisturizer. Naqlo-lotion pa ako after.

A cheaper substitute is Nature Republic's aloe vera gel. But it's strongly scented, though I like the smell. It's a fresh cucumber scent.

Hello sisses. I bought Biotin para sana mas mabilis humaba ang hair ko at tumibay ang brittle nails ko. May mga nabasa kasi ako na mabilis sya makapagpahaba ng hair. Pero three days pa lang ako umiinom, parang napansin ko, mas naging oily ang scalp and face ko. Any comments and suggestions? May mga naka experience na ba sa inyo ng ganito? Thanks sa mga sasagot...

tried that bottle from healthy options, di ko nalang siya inubos. wala akong napansin any significant hair growth and yung nails ko brittle pa rin naman. baka hindi lang ako hiyang.

I take Nature's Bounty:   Hair, Skin & Nails  with 5000 mcg of Biotin
Or 10000 mcg -- whichever I get to buy

Yes, it helped with my brittle nails -- but I get faster results with my nails when I consistently take my calcium tablets.
 
For the skin -- I do not think it made much of a difference; either way:  good or bad. 

Hair -- well, less hair fall -- after 3 months of consistent intake of this vitamin.
I don't think it made my hair grow any faster though

I am switching to  Viviscal (supposedly better at making hair makapal; better at growing hair faster) after I finish all my existing stock.


The thing is,  these hair vitamins take effect after at least 3 months continuous intake - that's what I read in a medical journal.

pero hindi ka pinimple sis?

hindi naman, sis. i don't normally get pimple din kasi, siguro kung meron man, paisa-isa lang and not regular. try mo rin like what sis aquacharly said, try it for 3 months baka pala ok siya for you

i've been taking Biotin from HO for months na. i started with 5000mcg for 3 months, down to 1000mcg. Now i take 500mcg na lang for maintenance.

sobra hairfall ko before as in nakikita na yun scalp ko kahit malayo. pero now normal hairfall na lang and madami akong new hair na tumutubo. yun mga dating parts na hindi na tinutubuan ng hair sa scalp ko, may mga little hair na kong nakikita.

on the downside naman, hindi lang scalp yun tinutubuan ng hair, mejo napabilis din sa UA, and nagkaron din sa back and chest ng balahibo pero hindi naman mala Sergio.

matagal talaga sya bago makita ang effect. months ang hihintayin pero para sakin, it's all worth it kasi ang sad talaga ng feeling na nakikita ko yun scalp ko tapos continuous pa yun hairfall. pero now, sobrang happy ako sa result kahit ang pangit tignan nun mga nakatayong little hair na tumutubo

[armie8]

parang ayoko magkaroon ng hair sa chest and back, lalo na sa UA baka kumapal, hindi pa naman ako mabuhok sa UA hehe

[princessgladies]

oo sis, kaya nga ako tyaga na lang sa wax kasi wala naman akong choice.

[armie8]

ok sis, thanks sa info

[jaiho]

Just bought Bio Nutrition Garcinia Cambogia. Anyone tried it na? I hope it's effective.

I love Healthy Options. Being a pilates / yoga enthusiast, I buy my supplements here.

hi sis! magsisimula pa lang ako i-try ang Pilates. what supplements do you buy from Healthy Options and what is it for?

[rae]

The Yogi Women's Health tea is good. I opted for natural miscarriage and may natira pang blood thickening inside, I feel like the teas help with the discomforts I'm experiencing and sometimes nakakatulong sya para mas lumabas yung blood. When I take just the meds that the OB GYN gave me, parang cramps lang pero wala namang lumalabas.

Anyway, I guess this means bawal sya for pregnant women.

I love the A La Maison soap in coconut milk! Kahit 250 php per bar of soap eh malambot effect sa skin ko. :-)

[jesusadusa]

there was a time when the witch hazel was super uso.  buy naman ako in healthy options.  hahaha!  now i go there to buy quinoa and some supplements for my daughter and husband.  but personally, wala akong binibili dun for myself.  namamahalan ako.

[prinzesin]

I usually buy my chips here for a lesser guilt  and pica pica for my daughter.

[hunny_ally]

^^quinoa in healthy options is soooo expensive. I usually get ours from snr.

usual buys from HO are the Bob's Red Mill products (wheat flour, cous cous, corn meal etc). although meron na din in Robinson's supermarket and rustan's, selection is not as wide as HO's. I also like their flavored couscous (can't remember the brand now).

I also get my once a day multivits, glucosamine for my hubby, and medications and vitamins for the kids. 

Their prices though have gone up considerably. I remember getting my kids' probiotics before at a little over Php 500. Now, it has more than doubled the price!

[sushisundance]

^what's the price diff of bob's red mill bet HO and rustans?

lately, laging OOS ang ACV nila plus the price got higher too.
