I think it's better if you specify what type of supplement u are looking for ts rather than the brand in general.

The fluorescent yellow urine is all the excess excreted out.

Unless you have a nutritional deficiency or dietary restrictions, most people on healthy, balanced diets do not need to take any additional supplements. Supplement companies be making fat stacks of cash selling people the fear that they need multivitamins.

Oh no... RM150+ per year for multivitamins. I'm never going to financially recover from this...

Meanwhile, 1/5 Malaysian kids suffer from stunted growth due to poor diet. How nutritionally balanced is a Malaysian diet?

Made in USA, much higher standards than the usual Chinese crap anyway. You'll be lucky if those "herbal supplements" are not laced with lead or mercury to increase their weight.

If you want to continue buying supplemets, that's up to you. Your money, your choice.

Ayam never said the average Malaysian diet was healthy to begin with. Those from lower income groups are unable to afford a wider spread of nutritious foods so they end up buying cheaper, unhealthier foods which are high in carbohydrates because that's all they can afford; hence, the stunted growth from malnutrition.

Hahaha, if the topic is how stupid porcupine bezoar is, many here will rage. Traditional Chinese medicine is a bigger scam la.

21st century is like legacy brand. Probably the oldest of the current brands including those direct marketing ones. It existed almost next to Scotts Emultion.

You go iherb see, even cheaper. Those things are actually not that expensive to make. Even brands like swisse also quite cheap in Australia, just come here markup a lot.
