I take both in a single product, http://www.iherb.com/Macrolife-Natu...t-Rich-Super-Food-Supplement-30-oz-850-g/7386
The cost is approx $90(with shipping to Spore) for 90 servings. If you take 1 serving a day it should last 90 days.

I also take it's sister product, Miracle Reds: http://www.iherb.com/Macrolife-Naturals-Miracle-Reds-Anti-Oxidant-Super-Food-30-oz-850-g/7781
Miracle Red has a high ORAC & is a blend of fruits. It should last 90 days.

Taking these 2 products, Green & Red, has allowed me to cut back on many other supplements. It's also more convenient than taking so many different pills. I take the Red in the morning & the Green in the evening.

Bottle Tree Park used to have an outlet selling fresh wheat grass which they plant directly themselves, unfortunately the park has since closed down, what a pity.

You can try NTUC, some branches may still sell wheat grass in packets of 100gm for $2.50 (may have increased in price). Only possible inconveniences:

1 You have to buy a juicer and juice it yourself. Drink it straight after juicing and you get the best results;
2. You have to bear the fresh taste of wheatgrass, but then as the saying goes, good medicine tastes bitter;
3. Your body must be able to accept the fresh wheat grass juice. Some have rare reaction of straight in, straight out.

Used to juice and take wheat grass for many years and find that it was good, helped with digestion, protection of teeth and gums as well as general health.

If you are really keen on wheat grass, some private individuals do plant and sell them. You have to ask around.

NTUC wheat grass is mostly supplied by Kin Yan Agrotech , go directly to their farm better.

I started with the Miracle Red & because of the positive results I've added the Greens formula.

Some may think it is a costly luxury but for me it is an essential investment on my health. I'm an uncle who's survived a heart attack & dealing with type II diabetes. I also make sure to take pine tree extract. If cost is an issue take the generic formula like http://www.iherb.com/Now-Foods-Pine-Bark-Extract-240-mg-90-Veggie-Caps/41290 rather than the more expensive Pycnogenol. The name Pycnogenol is licenced to Dr Masquelier & the products that use the Pycnogenol name pay a licence fee & are therefore more expensive. I am taking both Pycnogenol & Pine bark extract because I've noticed that it helps my circulation.

I used to take plenty of individual supplements but sometimes got the wrong combination & had problems. Mixtures like these Miracle products are designed as "foundational" products something like multi-vitamins. However since they are made of natual plants & fruits I think they work better .

For your needs should are probablly check the green product. Visit the vendor's site & read their FAQ on the product
http://www.macrolifenaturals.com/macro-greens-ingredients.asp

There are many different products of this kind. Try them & see which is suitable for your needs:

http://www.iherb.com/Paradise-Herbs-ORAC-Energy-Greens-12-8-oz-364-g/10731
http://www.iherb.com/Paradise-Herbs-ORAC-Energy-Protein-Greens-16-oz-454-g/17988
http://www.iherb.com/Now-Foods-Fruit-Greens-PhytoFoods-Berry-2-lbs-907-g/21129

The product that is the most value is the Now Foods product http://www.iherb.com/Now-Foods-Fruit-Greens-PhytoFoods-Berry-2-lbs-907-g/21129
Each container is 2 lbs & it contains fruits & greens.

You'll have to try & decide which product fits your needs. I've got all of them by the way:smile:

If you are looking for virgin coconut oil I recommend Nutiva. I use this http://www.iherb.com/Nutiva-Organic-Extra-Virgin-Coconut-Oil-54-fl-oz-1-6-L/7311 product for my cooking. It is also tasty on toast. They have increased the range of choices:

If you have so many problems, I think "foundational" products help. After 2 to 3 months of use you can better gauge if the products work for you.
The typical Sporean diet is inadequate. You get too much starch, salt, carbohydrates, Omega 6,.. After years of eating all that it's not surprising that people start having health problems.

Be sure to put some effort into exercising even if it's just walking, push ups, stretching,... It will help get the metabolism going & the sweat will help the body to detox all the heavy metals & toxins from the body.

Can purchase a mini trampoline(rebounder) from Albi for less than $200. Was thinking of getting one years ago but since I already have a nordic track & space was a premium so I didn't get one.
