There are two distinct camps where the subject of supplements is
concerned; those that believe that we should simply eat healthily - and those
that believe that we should pop a pill or twenty a day to ensure we live to be a
hundred.
I however tend to find middle ground between the two. Yes we certainly
should eat healthily, but with our current hectic work schedule, how many of us
actually have the time to cook and eat even two meals a day at home? (And I’m
sorry to disappoint but processed food straight from a can, sachet or packet does
not count).
So the only way to ensure that we stay healthy, would be to take a
supplement together with as many fresh fruit and vegetables as we can get our
hands on in a day.
I spent most of my youth working out and being active (unlikely but true). I’ve hiked
through the highlands of Scotland in unsuitable footwear and nearly lost my
toes to frostbite. I have traversed the jungles of Sri Lanka photographing
exotic wildlife, and I was almost desiccated in the deserts of Northern India. So
after so much abuse, my knees and joints are now protesting and refusing to be
as pliable as they once were.
Before I was introduced to Kneipp, I used to pop a glucosamine tablet,
but the problem with that was I often forgot to take it, and because the
tablets have to be taken with food, it became quite a chore, with me probably
only taking it twice in a week.
Kneipp® Active Joint’s 5-in-1 Effervescent Tablets (l) Kneipp® Magnesium + Calcium + D3 Effervescent Tablets (r) |
The great thing about Kneipp® Active Joint’s 5-in-1 Effervescent
Tablets is that I can take them any time I remember, which is a huge
bonus as I often remember at bizarre times during the day. The effervescent
tablets taste really subtly citrusy and I actually served it as a “drink” to someone who
popped down unexpected recently.
The Glucosaminsulfate and chondoitinsulfate - which are natural components of
articular cartilage and connective tissue - together with the added Vitamin C
helps build collagen, while Zinc helps build up bone, and Vitamin E helps
protect cells. Dissolve in iced water for a great tasting and refreshing drink.
Each tube, comprising of 15 tablets is priced at $22.90.
We all know that calcium is essential for keeping our bones healthy.
Kneipp® Magnesium + Calcium + D3, made from natural minerals and combined with
Vitamin D3 and calcium, provides the body with essential nutrients in times of
physical and mental stress. Build your calcium store when young to prevent
osteoporosis and other ailments that afflict us when we age due to a lack of
nutrients. In fact, with all the pain that I have in my joints, sometimes I
regret the abuse I put my body through in my youth...
Kneipp® Magnesium + Calcium + D3 Effervescent Tablets is priced at $14.90 for a tube of 20 tablets.

Stinging Nettle (Cleansing Herbal Tea)
Now this product really intrigued me, and while researching the benefits of Stinging Nettle, I found out that
Nettle leaf is actually among the most valuable of herbal remedies. It is a slow-acting
nutritive herb that gently cleanses the body of metabolic wastes. It is
also one of the safest alternative remedies in the treatment of chronic disorders
that require long-term treatment. It is said to have a gentle, stimulating
effect on the lymphatic system, enhancing the excretion of wastes through the
kidneys.
Nettle’s iron content makes it a wonderful blood builder, and the
presence of Vitamin C aids in the iron absorption making it an excellent herb
for anemia and fatigue, especially in women. Stinging nettle is also
beneficial during pregnancy due to its rich mineral value and Vitamin K, which
guards against excessive bleeding. It is also a good supplement to
strengthen the fetus and can be used during labor to ease the pain.
Kneipp’s Stinging Nettle (Cleansing Herbal Tea) is priced at $9.60 for a box of 15 tea bags.

I want to win it because I've read so many reviews raving abou Kneipp products and I really want to try it for myself! -Isabelle Ng
ReplyDeleteI have tried some Kneipp products and have been impressed with its high quality and organic heritage. I'm actually quite surprised that they are more than just another skin-care company and have branched out to health supplements and other herbal ranges which I would love to try out as well :)
ReplyDeletei wish to win the products because as a dancer, sportswomen and an underweight teenager, i hope to try out these wonderful products everyone is raving about. i hope that kneipp can help me to improve my overall well being. from your posts on kneipp products, they sure looks good!
ReplyDeleteKatie
I actually want to win it for my parents :)
ReplyDeleteKneipp® Active Joint’s 5-in-1 Effervescent Tablets is good for my dad's joints that has worn out after years of hard work taking care of my brother and I and Stinging Nettle (Cleansing Herbal Tea) seems to be good for my mum because it's caffeine free and she can drink it before she sleeps at night! Kneipp® Magnesium + Calcium + D3 Effervescent Tablets can probably be shared between my two parents as they're growing old and a little calcium in a yummy drink will do their bones some good :)

LXG thanks for the giveaway again! failed to be one of the lucky one for the previous giveaway and I hope to get this as it is limited edition and I really feel I need these babies. I seriously think I am lacking in calcium. And alot of vitamins. I don't really workout (no time ==) and I have problems with my joints and bones I reckon? My joints are always giving me pain(short and sharp) while walking. And I already felt the membrane is going to be depleted soon =( I hope to win the tablets and I can easily drink it during working hours. A healthy and nourishing drink and aid to my problems, 2 birds in 1 stone! Thanks in advance and pardon for the long "story" ;>
getting old needs supplement to keep strong. so I hope I can win.

I tried the Almond Blossom hand cream. With just one application, my hands are immediately feeling soft and supple. I'm sure the Citrus Fruit and Melissa Body Lotion and Anti-Callus Salve will do miracle for my very dry skin too.

I want to win because Anti-Callus Salve is probably one of the very best foot salve in the market (I know because I have personally witness its miracle in turning my mum's otherwise, hard, dry and unsightly feet into baby soft and touchable ones :)
