Melatonin if too strong can cause you want to sleep the next day too... I take ZMA or rather my own blend for now. OptiZinc 30mg, Magnesium Caps from Now @ 500mg (with oxide, aspartate and citrate), 100mg P5P (Vit B6).

I am wary of taking melatonin though I have taken 2 brands of supplements before that help better sleep (can't remember the names; one ang moh one TCM). I heard melatonin has side effects...

u guys no need sleep de ah

Got sleep. :) maybe too much maca and 4 hours is all I need. Too much to do and too little time to do it :)

I need that invention which allows me to store time when I have no need of it and use extra time when I have need of it. I think it is available in the Mistborn series but it has not been exported here yet.

melatonin really makes me sleepy!!

After taking melatonin for 1 hr, my head started to feel heavy and groggy.

the next morning i was still laying on my bed still feeling tired and stoned. then i forced myself to get up of bed and eat then again, the effect still havent worn out till lunch.

dun want take it if i need to workout the next day, affect ur schedule.

i take this

Natrol, Melatonin TR, Time Release, 3 mg, 100 Tablets - iHerb.com
Hmm... it is really tempting to try sleep formulae again... sometimes I even have insomnia for 3 hours. My mind is simply too active... I think of a million things even though I know I am supposed to "think nothing" and go to sleep.

Thanks for the link - I've bookmarked it for future reference.

I am no medical expert and I am probably totally wrong here but I got the impression that the time released version is like being in a boxing ring and get knocked down and right before you are about to revive, it would knock you down again..

Lol that sounds like a punchline. Um... no puns intended. :s13:

Idk if they've become more careful with my order after the broken bottle incident.

But this time they put the raw honey into a ziplock bag and then into a eggshell box. But thing is the bottle is made of plastic and not glass lol.
And the tea infuser came in a cardboard box. :D

Declaration was fast & the staff was helpful. Thankfully, this happened once once. There was no fine. I think the worse case was they impound the items.The hassle is to go there during office hours to collect the package.

In the old days, I shipped the items by vPost & it takes up to months to arrive. I had heavy items shipped by sea by US Mail because vPost minimum charge was to hefty for a low cost item. Obviously there was no tracking and I waited for months until it is delivered.

Now, shipping with iHerb is cheap, easy & fast. Incredible!
:):) Puts Amazon's agents like iParcel to shame.

Nice to know, thanks!

So far, I try to buy only what I know is allowed. But sometimes, you just don't know if you might have missed a restricted item you thought unrestricted. :o

Yup, I have to agree that the iHerb with SingPost collaboration is really great. A week may not be incredibly fast but it is not incredibly long either. At the low fee of S$4 with tracking thrown in, I really have no grounds to complain. :s13:

No, coss I think Singapore got sell brown rice which should likely be cheaper (I didn't check). Besides, after my failed experiments with black rice and basmati rice, I think I am sticking to plain white rice for now.

I finally managed to try the brown rice pasta today. It was unbelievable.

Tinkyada, PastaJoy Ready, Brown Rice Pasta Shells, 16 oz (454 g) - iHerb.com

Earlier, I have tested wholemeal pasta which was brown too but tasted gross. This brown rice pasta (which obviously looks brown too) is a different story. I would even say it is delicious.

It is pretty different from normal wheat pasta but if you ignore the familiarity you have with wheat pasta and judge brown rice pasta on its own, I have to objectively say that it is a worthy buy.

If I can't find a cheaper source in Singapore, I will likely buy back this after I run out. I don't think I will stock this up for now though as I still have 5~10 unopened packets of wheat pasta that are simply begging to be finished. :eek:

Edit: Wholemeal not wholemeat. Thanks hotstuff for spotting the error. :p

An item I bought has a completely different nutrition profile than what they put up on their website.

I think they forgot to update it and the company came out with a new recipe already.

Anyone encounter such a case before?
Item is dymatize elite gourmet, in case anyone is buying it.

The 3lb YS honey in plastic bottle? I also thought it was weird. I received mine exactly the same way as your ("double protection" - zip loc and egg shell) - and the bottle was plastic. :s22:

So they never wrap small honey glass bottles? Oh was yours a lone exception? :s12:

I did read such reviews before about the formula changing (usually from good to bad). Not for the product you mentioned though. If you feel you don't want this "wrong" product, I think you have valid reason to ask for a refund.

Gosh thing is idk if they'll refund without asking me to send it back. Cause one of my orders only comprise of two of these tubs.

Edit: nvm i'm just gonna accept it and email them to update it.:)

You guys are really buying in bulk. :eek:

5 Bottles is really a lot but I guess you need to make the shipping worth :)

Honey technically should last forever until someone opens the bottle :s13:

Looks like the 3lbs YS Eco Honey went up in price.

The 3lb YS honey in plastic bottle? I also thought it was weird. I received mine exactly the same way as your ("double protection" - zip loc and egg shell) - and the bottle was plastic. :s22:

Yeah, they always do that to my 3lbs YS Honey. But that was not the case with my Bragg's ACV glass bottle, it was just in the egg shell.

My package arrived in SG this afternoon and I was keeping my toes crossed. Just found out that it just cleared customs and on the way to Speedpost :)

Try this for the extra oomph!! :D

I now taking 2 caps in the morning and 2 caps at night.

Or you can just choose to take all 4 caps 30mins before *activity*. :s22:

Btw, how old are you?

do be careful with all these "performance enhancing" supplements, esp for people with known health problems. I don't like these kind of supplements. There are many people with hidden health problems which they don't even know about, that's why some can suddenly collapse during runs or exercise, who knows what kind of effects these supplements may have?
