Go natural - products that I have tried so far - iherb.com

To go natural is a slow and gradual process for me. I feel a lot more comfortable when using natural products because I know what I'm doing to my body and I know they not harmful to me. 

All products from: http://www.iherb.com/   <3!

Here are some products I've used OR I'm using at the moment along with mini reviews in brackets:

Health related:
  • Now Foods, Garlic 5000, 90 Tablets (for my skin, hair and nails)
  • Madre Labs, Omega-3 Premium Fish Oil, 180 mg EPA/120 mg DHA, 100 Softgels *can't take continuously for more than 3 weeks)
  • Nature's Way, Organic, Echinacea Purpurea Herb, 400 mg, 180 Capsules
I live at dorm 5 days in a week and I can't eat as healthy as I do at home. I bought these mainly because I want to boost my immunity and to prevent any possible illnesses that I'm prone to during this assignment period at uni (ahhh I wanna just be lazy). They have been helping me so far. There were only 2 days when I felt I like I might be sick but I kept taking these supplements and I didn't actually get sick :D

One thing I've noticed is that I get stomach pain after I took the Echinacea Purpurea Herb sometimes, which it goes away after like half an hour. Not really sure why.
