why can't we make ours,
Its a shame that our own pharmacists are only good at one thing : prescribing drugs from foreign markets, they cant even make drugs.

Kudos to the traditional herbal practitioners,they try their best to make some mixtures , which cure some ailments.
Take for instance yo yo bitters is produced in Nigeria

I'm into alternative medicine myself,not too serious.
There was this particular day , i was down with sore throat and cough, i bought a drug called pro cold and after taking that drug , i felt weak and drowsy.
A simple alternative i discovered to using all this useless drugs was a mixture i made which cleared my cough and sore throat in 2 hours.
I squeezed grape juice into a cup and added some honey,this mixture kind of helped me a lot,

The point i'm trying to make here is that we need to encourage our herbal practitioners to develop their own supplements and drugs, which can compete with al the tianshi stuff we import.
It's a multi billionaire industry
.

I believe you.I've got testimonies from Swissgarde's NAFDAC APPROVED Vitamin, Mineral & Herbal Products.There are so many fake drugs in the market.And besides, the reason the good ones don't work at times is because people don't have enough nutrients in their system to boost their own immunity.As a result they keep having recurring health problems.

As much as i recommend herbs and supplements, one has to be careful of the source because hygiene and quality control are serious standards that must be met in order to avoid bad side effects.

Thats why i always recommend Swissgarde products.The originator of the products is a trained South African Pharmacist and knows what he is doing.

We don`t have to patronize these products because they are merely supplements and may not be necessary if we eat balanced diets regularly with lots of vegetables and fruits. These products are also too expensive for the average Nigerian

You are right Folabola.Nobody needs to take supplements.What we need, like you've rightly said, is a balanced meal.You know as well as i do that most folks rarely feed well.Mainly because of the demands on our time and the quality of food sold in the market.If we all had the discipline and time, there wouldn't be any need for supplements.But there is.Some people eat at fancy restaurants, but what is the guarantee that those meals are rich in nutrients.They may taste good but can you really tell.How much soup will give me enough vitamin A, C , E etc.Can you tell.But the supplements usually are formulated with the right quantity that the body needs.And its so convenient.Pop a pill and you are on your way.

As for the price,expensive is relative.What you call expensive others call affordable.Even if they were, is the anything of value in Nigeria that isn't expensive.I don't think any price is too high to pay for good health.
