      Hi there


      i have been giving supplements to my 6 year old son but i have been wanting to look for a nutritionist to make sure what i gave is ok.

      Would u be able to recommend yr nutritionist to me?

      Thks a lot πŸ™‚

      Hi Everyone,

      I'm newbie to Kiasu parents but very kiasu about my children's health especially building their immunity. I've 3 kids (11, 10, 6 with No 4 on the way!!). I've been giving my kids supplements regularly - Rainbow Light Multi-vitamin gummies & Rainbow Light Omegalicious (Omega 3 - some people believe kids should only take Omega 3 but not 6 & 9). My friends give their kids Nordic Naturals & I take Nordic Naturals 369 for myself. In the past one year, I've been giving my kids Sambucol -Elderberry extract or Sambucol (which has elderberry & echinacea - this is a FANTASTIC product! The moment the kids have the slightest sniff or cough, they take twice a day for 3-5 days (cannot be taken continuously for more than 2 weeks) and their flu never develops. I've not brought my kids to see the doctor for the past one year!!

      Another product that's great is Sinusin - a homeopathic nasal spray for mild rhinitis - great for stopping a full-blown cold after spraying a few days.

      I order all my supplements from http://www.iherb.com which was recommended to me by my nutritionist. I even order my organic shampoos & all kinds of flu herbal stuff there. The prices are at least 30-50% cheaper GNC or Vitakids or other shops here even with shipping costs thrown in. Just order below US$300 to avoid GST charges when you ship in. Shipping cost is fairly inexpensive. I order more than 20 products each time and my shipping is still less than US$20.

      Happy shopping!

      But of course you must read widely and consult a naturopath or herbal remedy practitioner before you simply give your children herbal medication. There are lots of testimonials on every product and all the ingredients are clearly spelt out.

      If you wish to buy the products there, you may use my Discount Code LUY703 which will give you US$5 off your first purchase and I will also get a small discount credit for my next purchase for introducing other customers (win-win :)) but if you choose to open your own account without using the discount code that's fine too!

      Happy shopping & save $ going to the doctors!

        It's been a long time since I came into this thread! Totally forgot about it!


        I've shared what I give my boy here: thelittleonesinmylife.blogspot.com

        Just an update: I'm currently pregnant and bought WholeMega Prenatal Vits from iHerb. Love it!

        There's loads of interesting and good products on iHerb that I never existed until recently (my friends tag along on my sprees). Will share more on my blog when I have time. πŸ˜„

                      I used to give cordyceps to my kids.


                      But now no moe coz the Oligopeptide that I give is so much more effective & cheaper as compared.

                      most of all, 1 of the main things is that their eczema gone & their immunity up

                        thanks for sharing. my son has sensitive airways. my fren recommends me to give him cordyceps which i think it is costly in long run.

                        Where can i find the Oligopeptide?
