"Jiak Poh" (Tonics)

I was never one who placed much emphasis on taking tonics to boost health & well-being. All I ever did was pop some vitamin pills on a daily basis and go for my workout classes twice a week, that was about it.

However, since I got pregnant, I found myself more concerned on taking tonics & supplements for my health as well as Popcorn's.

These are what I take on a regular basis.

Obimin, which is a multivitamin, Natal Care Plus which is fish oil rich in DHA & EPA for baby's brain development and function as well as Calcium supplements as I am not a great fan of dairy products. I take these supplements on a daily basis every morning.



Concentrated Bird's Nest with Rock Sugar. I take a tablespoon once daily before bedtime. I love Bird's Nest!



Essence of Chicken with american ginseng, cordyceps & huaishan which I take once every two days.



Grinded american wild ginseng powder from Eu Yan Sang. This is expensive man.. $260 for a small bottle (only 37.5 grams!). I mix a small teaspoon with water & drink it once every two days.



Walnut & black bean soup, brewed by mummy. I take this concoction once every two days. Walnut's for baby's brain development & black beans are supposedly good for lactation.
