iHerb reviews and coupon – May 2013 – Instant coffee, biotin, breath mints, magnesium, chem defense and sinus health
It’s been a while since the last iHerb review blog post. I have ordered many products since the last update, and I try to make these reviews more regularly for now on.
Nescafé, Taster’s Choice, 100% Colombian, Instant Coffee, 20 Packets, 0.07 oz (2 g) Each
I have reviewed many different instant coffees in this year. This is pretty average coffee. Smell of this coffee is delicious, but the taste is bit too mild, and could be more “fresh”. Price is pretty good. For some reason I managed to order two packages of this coffee. Oh well, gotta give that extra one to someone. :)

Twinlab, Biotin Dots, Mixed Berry Flavor, 3000 mcg, 60 Tablets
Twinlab provides high quality products, but title of this “Biotin dots” supplement is bit misleading, as it says potency of 3000 mcg. One tablet is 1500 mcg, and with serving size of two tablets, you get the 3000 mcg. It’s pretty hard to recommend this product, as there are other chewable biotin products with cheaper price available at iHerb. Tablets taste like berry and are like candies. Too bad that the serving size is a no go for me. Biotin is good for nails and hair health.

Ricola, Breath Mints, Sugar Free, Peppermint, .88 oz (25 g)
I rarely use breath mints, and I though I’d order one for review purposes. I didn’t know that iHerb sells products that has aspartame. I was wrong. I don’t think natural health stores should sell products like this. Yes, these are pretty good tasting peppermint breath mints, and they freshen up your breath. If you wish to find something more natural, look elsewhere. Supermarkets are for these kind of products.

Special, Magnesium, The Missing Link to Better Health, 32 Pages
iHerb’s freebie section has plenty of free books to choose from. I’d give this 5 stars if this would tell more about the various magnesium forms (citrate, malate etc.), and wouldn’t have any product promotion. Book gives nice info about the health benefits of magnesium. I’ve known about the magnesium health benefits for a long time, and yet this book managed to give more answers. Pretty happy with this book. Overall it’s one of the better free things you can pick up from the freebie section. :)

Source Naturals, Chem Defense, Peppermint Flavored, 10 Tablets
These taste pretty bad (very strong artificial peppermint taste), I couldn’t keep these under the tongue for a long time. I didn’t notice any health benefits after taking these tablets. I’d look something else from the iHerb’s freebie section. Good thing that iherb has these free samples. Some items got sold out or discontinued pretty quickly.

Special, Sinus Health, Breathe Easy the Natural Way, 32 Page Paperback Booklet
Special, Sinus Health, Breathe Easy the Natural Way, 32 Page Paperback Booklet is one of the better free “books” that iHerb has to offer. Too bad that there is plenty of Xlear product promotion in this book, but the book is still worth reading. Info about Xylitol too.
