Nettle contains a unique multivitamin complex that helps in many cases. But its root has special properties. This is a classic antiandrogenic agent.
Nettle root can be successfully used by men who have problems with early baldness. Nettle root extract has the unique ability to block the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone, which ultimately causes hair to fall out.

2. Now Foods, Fast Seasonal Symptom Relief, With EMIQ, 30 Vegetarian Capsules
Isokercin - an assistant during seasonal This dietary supplement will help everyone who suffers from seasonal hay fever. The drug contains isokercin, a clinically tested form of quercetin with increased bioavailability.
Quercetin is a bioflavonoid found in many berries and vegetables (onions, citrus fruits, dark berries, olive oil). In my own way chemical composition Querticin is similar to sodium chromonyl (gastrochrome), which is commonly used to treat allergies and asthma.
According to research, isokercin is absorbed and absorbed by the body 40 times faster. After just 30 minutes, pain and itching in the eyes, rhinorrhea and lacrimation decrease.

In addition, magnesium promotes muscle relaxation and a general reduction in stress, thins the blood and lowers blood pressure, and is involved in the synthesis of proteins necessary for the body.
This dietary supplement contains chelated form magnesium: a compound of magnesium ion and the amino acid glycine. Magnesium glycitate does not require additional transformations in the body, since it is already ready for use and is perfectly absorbed.
Magnesium glycinate is intended to combat stress, useful for psychological and mental stress, as well as for normalization. Interestingly, the relaxing effect is noted for the whole body - it helps with calf cramps and with serious sports training.
4. Now Foods, DHA-500/EPA-250, double strength
Omega-3 DHA-500/EPA-250 – concentrate fish oil Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid participate in the anti-inflammatory processes of our body, are the basis for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, and are necessary for the normal formation and functioning of the central nervous system.
The iherb website offers many options for fish oil in various forms. However, DHA-500/EPA-250 is the most profitable option to purchase, since the capsules contain double concentrations of docosahexaenoic and eicosapentaenoic acids.
In addition to the proven effectiveness of fish oil for the cardiovascular system, scientists believe that omega-3s are beneficial for.
It has been proven that the level of sensitivity of body cells to histamine plays a major role in the development of allergies. As soon as the sensitivity of cells increases, even the most small action irritating chemical product can cause allergies.
Fish oil contains vitamin A, which helps strengthen cell membranes. The denser cell membrane is a barrier to histamine. Thus, Omega-3 protects the body from allergic reactions.
5. "
These candies will benefit children prone to otitis media. The candies contain a narrow-profile probiotic. During the absorption process, the antibiotic enters the mucous membrane of the pharynx and inner ear and fights pathogenic bacteria. In this way, ENT diseases are prevented.
The candies have a pronounced cherry flavor, but they are a little sour, so not all children like them. It should be taken into account that the candy must be sucked, and not chewed and swallowed.
It is better to give candy to children at night, after brushing their teeth. Another feature of this drug: the opened jar should be stored in the refrigerator.
6. Doctor's Best, High Potency Serrapeptase
The enzyme serrapeptase was first discovered in the intestines of the silkworm. The insect uses it to dissolve the cocoon. After studying the enzyme, it became clear that serrapeptase is capable of dissolving proteins foreign to the body: for example, viral proteins, blood clots, atherosclerotic plaques and tumors.
Serrapeptase has been used in world practice for more than 25 years, and is considered one of the safest anti-inflammatory enzymes. It is often used as a replacement for antibiotics and hormonal agents.
The scope of application of this drug is wide: ENT diseases, sports injuries, sprains, ligament ruptures, fractures, cardiovascular diseases, acute dermatoses, lactostasis.
The peculiarity of the drug is that the enzyme reduces blood clotting. Therefore, if you are planning an operation, you need to stop using dietary supplements 2 weeks before surgical intervention. It is not recommended to take simultaneously with aspirin and diclofenac.
7. Now Foods, Lutein
Lutein increases visual acuity and protects the eyes from free radicals. Lutein is not produced in our body, but comes only from food (the most lutein is found in spinach, basil, parsley, broccoli, pumpkin, and zucchini).

iHerb is a world-famous online store with an assortment of more than 35,000 products. High-quality vitamins, dietary supplements, sports nutrition, organic products, natural cosmetics, skin care products without harmful ingredients, natural and safe household chemicals, products for children and much more. The choice is huge, and you won’t be able to figure out what’s really worth buying on IHerb.
I’ve been ordering regularly for over three years now, I recently received my hundredth order 🤪 And I can safely call myself an experienced buyer of this store, a real Eicherbomann 😉 so I decided to write this article to help newcomers.
What should a newbie buy on iHerb?
Question - what to buy on iherb- almost all newcomers ask themselves when trying to understand the variety of iHerb products. It is, in fact, impossible to answer this unequivocally :) it is very difficult to advise something specific from huge assortment iHerb, especially since everyone is looking for something different... After all, some are only interested in vitamins and dietary supplements, some come to iHerb for natural cosmetics, others for organic products. But I can say with confidence that after the first delivery you will want to place an order again. iHerb is very captivating, it exists for a reason a large number of forums, communities, blogs, where people discuss purchases, share reviews, and get advice.
If we talk about me, I made my first order on iHerb because of dietary supplements and coconut oil. For free delivery, and in 2015 it was from $40, I added shampoo with biotin, the famous African black soap, chia seeds, a couple of packs of tea, hemp oil (now it is not available for ordering in Russia) and a natural cleanser.
At that time, I had not yet read much reviews about IHerb products, so I chose somehow intuitively, and mainly based on reviews on the site... Therefore, not everything from this list impressed me, it was interesting to try new products - coconut and hemp oils, seeds chia, and the cleanser turned out to be very successful, it didn’t dry out the skin at all, and I probably used it for about a year. Later there were more interesting and useful orders, although there were some failures. I also write reviews of unsuccessful purchases on IHerb on my blog using the tag, and using the tag you can find reviews of all my parcels from iHerb.
If I were now new to iHerb and was thinking about what to order, I would definitely read real reviews with photos in thematic blogs and communities and study lists of must-haves and the best iHerb products from experienced buyers, and at the same time, of course, First of all, I would focus on my own needs, and not on emotional impulses, which often happen after reading rave reviews :) Best iHerb Products
Over several years of active shopping on IHerb, the number of purchased products has already exceeded 500 items... Not everything was really necessary, suitable and in line with expectations. But by and large, I can say that iHerb has significantly changed my lifestyle in better side, my habits and attitude towards health, and I really hope that the opportunity to order products from iHerb will not go away.
Especially for this article I compiled a list of my personal must have with iHerb. I thought about making a Top 10, but no, there were much more of them. For convenience, I have classified everything best iHerb products by category.
📍Dietary supplements and vitamins:
This is a collagen complex from the famous and very good brand Neocell. In addition to collagen there is hyaluronic acid, biotin, alpha lipoic acid and silicon. All these components together are aimed at improving the condition of the skin, hair and nails. The supplement is very useful, because it is the decrease in collagen production that occurs with age that is the main cause of skin aging. I wrote about my experience using Collagen Beauty Builder
A very good and effective sedative complex. Contains B vitamins, amino acids, magnesium, GABA, St. John's wort with valerian and other soothing herbs. It works not from the first tablet, but after 10 days, that is, the effect is cumulative. The result first of all impressed my husband, who noticed that I had become less irritable and aggressive :) Now he makes sure that these pills are always in the house. More review wrote about them
One of the causes of stress chronic fatigue, depression may be a disadvantage magnesium. This is a very important mineral responsible for calming the nervous system. It is especially important to take it during periods of psychological and physical stress. Here magnesium is in a well-absorbable citrate form, the powder is diluted in ordinary water, the result is pleasant and slightly sour drink, easy to drink. I usually drink a glass at night if I've had a hard day, magnesium is good for calming and relaxing nervous system.
An important supplement for those who have weak blood vessels and are prone to bruising and varicose veins. I have a problem with blood vessels, frequent nosebleeds, and constant bruises on my legs. I tried several options for the routine with iHerb. This one, in my opinion, is the most effective, here it is combined with vitamin C. When taking it for a course of three months, the situation with bruises significantly improved, and even those that appeared went away faster.
This is a complex for the prevention of varicose veins, an analogue of Detralex. The active ingredient is diosmin. It has an angioprotective and venotonic effect, helps increase venous tone, reduces the distensibility of veins and venous stasis, improves lymphatic drainage, reduces capillary permeability and fragility.
Also added to the composition are plant extracts horse chestnut and gotu kala, which also have a strengthening effect on the veins.
I wrote more about him
A useful supplement to turn on your head and start your brain. It turned out to be very effective for me, my performance increased significantly, my intelligence, concentration and memory improved. I wrote about my experience of taking glycine.
These are excellent, potent probiotics with 8 types beneficial bacteria And huge content microorganisms in one capsule - 30 billion. For comparison, in 1 capsule of the well-known Linex there are only 10 million bacteria.
I take probiotics not only after antibiotics, but also in courses 2-3 times a year for 1 month for good gastrointestinal function and immune support. What's happened chronic gastritis and the thrush that tormented me before Iherb appeared in my life, I have already forgotten. General well-being, skin condition, dental condition, and fresh breath, and much more... Therefore, I consider probiotics to be an important and necessary supplement for health. They can also be used to make homemade kefir (pour 1 capsule of probiotic into a liter of milk and leave at room temperature overnight or for a day)
IN last years Vitamin D is being researched very actively and a lot is being published about it. new information. The established opinions that only babies need vitamin D, and that in the summer all people receive vitamin D in the required amount, are wrong!
I'll just write a few here important facts(you can read more:
Vitamin D is produced only during the daytime (from 11 to 16), and provided that you do not use sunscreen.
- Most people have vitamin D levels below normal.
- insufficient vitamin D levels can be one of the causes of a huge number of chronic diseases, including osteoporosis, various autoimmune diseases (for example, diabetes and multiple sclerosis), some forms of cancer (breast, colon, lung, prostate and lymphoma), high blood pressure, complications during pregnancy, cardiovascular diseases, depression.
I take vitamin D for permanent basis, in winter 3000-5000 units per day, in summer 1000-2000 units. For me and my family members this is a must-have.
From personal experience: when we moved to Israel, and my husband, having a history of a very serious illness, went to the doctor for a routine examination - a vitamin D test was on the list of main ones along with general and biochemical analyzes blood.
Melatonin is excellent remedy for sleep disorders, insomnia, and time zone changes. It is also sold in Russia, under the name Melaxen, but 6 times more expensive!
Personally, melatonin helped me a lot in the first year after the birth of a child; due to constant waking up at night, I forgot how to sleep normally, could not fall asleep for a long time, and woke up often. Literally 5 nights with melatonin, and my sleep returned to normal. I wrote more about him
📍For shower and beauty:
This section was the hardest to pick out. The choice of cosmetics is a very individual matter, so I will only write about a few products that impressed me the most. You can read other reviews by tag
Not very long ago, a section appeared on iHerb with Korean cosmetics. It is very popular all over the world despite its less than ideal composition.
When ordering Korean cosmetics from iHerb, you can be sure that they are not fake, which is often the case with many online stores.
For me, this bubble mask for deep cleansing of the face has become a must-have. It is unusual in itself, immediately after application it begins to foam and increase in volume, and the effect is that it perfectly cleanses pores, the face becomes smooth and noticeably refreshed.
You can read more about the mask and the nuances of its use
With this eyeliner I finally learned how to draw arrows. She's perfect! Especially for beginners. A very convenient thin brush that draws both thin and thick lines. It also contains serum for eyelash growth and is free of parabens.
The famous glycolic peeling is a must-have for the autumn-winter period for skin renewal. Glycolic acid penetrates the surface layers of the skin and destroys the layer of accumulated keratinized cells, stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. As a result, cellular renewal occurs and blood circulation in facial tissues improves, superficial scars and age spots disappear, hydration and oiliness are normalized, which in turn helps to reduce pores and prevent the appearance of inflammatory rashes.
I wrote more about glycolic peeling
Another must have for me from iherb are these anti-wrinkle patches. At first I was skeptical about them, but I decided to try it anyway, having previously captured in the photo the eyebrow wrinkle that I wanted to get rid of. The result after a month pleasantly surprised me, you can read more about my experience using Frownies patches
📍Products:
Organic Coconut Oil is an iHerb hit and bestseller! I personally can’t imagine my life without coconut oil:) It’s so unique and useful product that I highly recommend everyone to try it. I’ve already written about it in detail, so I won’t repeat myself, and I can’t express all the advantages of this product in a nutshell.
I became acquainted with this oil recently, but it immediately took its place on my list of the best products from iherb that I buy all the time.
Organic melted butter from cows that graze exclusively on green grass and do not use any antibiotics or hormones. It's also ghee butter. Does not contain lactose and casein, no impurities or additives, safe for frying, very tasty and aromatic. My favorite 5-minute dish: fry thinly sliced chicken fillet pieces with salt and pepper for 1-2 minutes on each side in this ghee. Just lick your fingers :)
Whipped coconut or coconut cream - this product is called differently, but there are no analogues to it in Russia. Contains only coconut pulp and coconut oil. Can be used to make sauces, Raffaello sweets, you can eat coconut pulp in pure form, and separate the oil and use it, for example, in porridge or for frying... I buy this coconut for making homemade curd cheeses. Recipe
Oil from rice bran It has the highest smoke point of 240 degrees Celsius, making it the safest of all cooking oils. It does not burn, does not smoke, does not form carcinogens, is tasteless and odorless. Made by cold pressing from rice bran.
iHerb has a very large assortment of all kinds of sauces, they are very tasty and without harmful additives. Our family favorites Kikkoman, Original Teriyaki Sauce, 581 g for fish, meat and vegetable dishes.
Organic coffee from Peru, grown without the use of chemicals, very tasty and aromatic. Available in grains and ground:
Mt. Whitney Coffee Roasters, Organic Peruvian Ground Coffee, Medium Roast, 12 oz (340 g)
iHerb has a large selection of gluten-free products. I am not overtly intolerant to gluten, but I try to avoid it whenever possible as it reduces the absorption of nutrients from food.
We fell in love with this porridge the first time, and now I order it all the time.
Finely ground porridge, consists of four types cereals: brown rice, corn, sorghum and buckwheat. I cook it in milk for about 15 minutes, it turns out very tasty, the child eats it with pleasure.
📍Household non-chemicals:
I have long abandoned the toxic household chemicals that are sold in our stores in favor of household non-chemicals from Iherb. Why poison yourself with these terrible domestics, ariels and fairies, if there are environmentally friendly means that do not harm people or the environment, and do not cost much more. iHerb offers all cleaning, cleaning and washing products. Basically, they are all based on natural ingredients.
Eco-friendly dishwashing liquid, does not contain harmful, carcinogenic substances, suitable for washing baby dishes and bottles, does not dry out the skin, foams well and washes dishes.
It's no secret that fruits and vegetables are treated with toxic chemicals to maintain freshness and presentation and increasing shelf life. It is impossible to wash them off completely with plain water, so I use this spray to wash fruits and vegetables. It contains special natural solvents from citrus fruits for effective and safe cleansing.
I also order laundry detergents from iHerb. And this is one of my favorites. Very convenient capsules with powder, which need to be thrown directly into the drum, from natural ingredients, without phosphates, chlorine and dyes. The smell is very pleasant, spring-floral, without chemicals, and is no longer noticeable on dried clothes.
But like most eco-powders, it cannot cope with strong stubborn dirt. For these purposes I use stain remover.
📍Childen's goods:
Natural children's toothpaste, safe to swallow, suitable for babies from three months
Analogous to the chemical Chupa Chups. Very tasty lollipops from natural juice, sweet and sour, they contain sugar, but there are no chemicals, dyes or flavors.
High-quality fish oil with strawberry flavor. Half a teaspoon of fat contains 525 mg of Omega-3 acids, which promote children's attentiveness, intelligence, good mood and behavior. This is a very useful and important supplement for children of all ages, especially for those who do not like fish or eat it rarely. The taste is pleasant, the child drinks without problems. Can be given to children from 8 months.
Children's probiotics are always in my medicine cabinet in case of any problems with the stomach, stool, or the need to take antibiotics. One tablet contains a mixture of 3 billion lacto- and bifidobacteria. The tablets are tasty, chewable and suckable, the child perceives them as candy and eats them with pleasure.
Must-have for colds, mixture essential oils eucalyptus, lavender, mint and tea tree oil. I apply this ointment to my child’s chest and back when he has a cough and runny nose, it helps very well, makes breathing easier, softens the cough, and the smell is very pleasant.
Unlike Aquadetrim, these coconut oil drops do not cause any allergic reactions in the form of peeling and redness of the skin.
I give my child vitamin D all year round, one drop in the summer, two or three in the winter.
This is the best children's sunscreen I've ever tried. It is absolutely safe, based only on a physical filter - zinc oxide. It applies well, moisturizes the skin, is quickly absorbed and does not leave white streaks.
In Israel, summer is 7 months a year, so it was important for me to find a suitable sunscreen; now I only order this one.
Very often I buy various green mixtures on iHerb. The fashion for green smoothies is gaining momentum among supporters healthy image life. Fresh vegetables and herbs are not always available, and few people use them every day in required quantity. One glass of green smoothie provides chlorophyll, vitamins, minerals, various phytonutrients and other beneficial substances. This is a good remedy for detoxifying and alkalizing the body.
My favorite green drink is broccoli! It has the most neutral taste; it also contains broccoli sprouts, green beans, cilantro and milk thistle. I wrote in more detail.
Rishi Tea, Loose Leaf Tea Filter Bags, 100 Bags
A useful household item is filter bags for loose leaf tea, suitable even for the smallest tea, for example, rooibos. Not a single tea leaves falls into the cup. It’s very convenient to brew tea and coffee, and the main thing is that you don’t have to wash either the strainer or the teapot afterwards.
There is a large section on iHerb "Aromatherapy", where a large selection of different essential oils is presented. You need to write a separate large article on this topic; you can’t get away with it in two phrases. I’ll only tell you about the most multifunctional oil - tea tree oil.
Thanks to antiseptic, antifungal and antiviral properties Tea tree oil can be used as follows:
- for inflammation on the face, dries and promotes the rapid disappearance of acne;
- to prevent fungal diseases - add a couple of drops to the foot cream, especially after visiting the pool;
-for nail fungus - apply directly to the nail itself (after 4 months of daily use, my toenail was completely restored);
- to relieve itching and irritation after insect bites;
-to get rid of dandruff, add a couple of drops to the hair mask.
And this oil is very different in quality from analogues in Russian pharmacies.

Friends, today I will share with you interesting information worthy to think about and reconsider your purchases. You can find and buy on iHerb budget analogues expensive drugs that are sold in Russian pharmacies. The quality of American supplements is an order of magnitude higher, and there is no doubt about their origin.
I also noticed on iHerb additives are safe in terms of the absence of excess ballast, dyes and colored tablet shells that our manufacturers love so much. Capsules are especially indicative; they contain a minimum of harmful additives and are absorbed much more efficiently.
I generally do not recommend buying Omega 3 and probiotics in Russian pharmacies. Manufacturer does not write the dosage of the main components of fish oil: EPA and DHA content. And these are important indicators of the quality of omega 3, in addition to its freshness!
