Blackmores Health Products
Best cough suppressant out there – After trying everything on the pharmacy shelf, this was quite literally the only thing that worked in terms of giving me some short-term relief. This… Read more
is 100 times better than all the well-known cough medicines which I tried in vane, not to mention wasted money on.
Bio C 1000 , daily for 2mths – I started taking Blackmore's Bio C 1000 once daily at lunch with an Iron based meal to help absorption. I was taking it to help my collagen… Read more
production, but I quickly notest my mood and self-esteem rise, my stress level lowered and ironically my hair is so much thicker - which could be vC directly or rather the mood effects of the vC ,which stress is a huge contributor to hair issues. I haven't notest any bad side effects and I always take Blackmores Bio C with a meal.
Pretty good at first – My nails never grow. I have my hands in water all the time. Layers of my nails peel and flake and they are very weak. I asked a women in the chemist… Read more
“How come your nails look so nice?” She told me she was using this product. My nails have started to look a lot healthier and feel stronger. I have been only using a natural/breathable nail polish when I colour them which has also helped - without a lot of the nasties of normal polishes. I am going to keep using this product and see what the longer term results are. Even though I am pretty much vegetarian and eat a healthy diet (normally), my hands are my ‘tools of my trade’ and they are put to some rough work constantly. Whether this supplement can counteract that we will see.
Doesn’t work – I can never sleep and usually I’m take half a dozzal and I’ll sleep all night but I ran out and my mum sent me these , and they do not work at all , so if your looking for something to help you sleep this is not for you , get dozal works wonders Show details
I only take a half tablet every day as I became hyperactive after taking a full tablet. I am now aware there is a class action against Blackmores because of the high level of pyridoxine ( vitamin B6 ) that can prove toxic over time...
It works – Purchased for my husband as Doctor said he was bordering on type 2 diabetes. His body stated processing sugar and now he is not bordering diabetic.Worth a try if your body is not processing sugar. Show details
What proof is there that this simple vitamin mix combats macular Degeneration? It costs a plenty and the target market are largely desperate… Read more
pensioners. My view based on years watching my mother’s sad decline, Macuvision is utterly useless. My mother lived in hope consuming MV for a decade+ while being treated by specialists (including Eylea injections). Simple outcome she went blind. Profiting from people’s desperation needs to have consequences. No company should be able to name a vitamin supplement referring to a specific condition without published clinical trials clearly demonstrating its effectiveness.
Thank you for creating this princess energy – The best vitamin ever! Thank you for making this cutest princess healthy, she's having more energy means that she can literally spreading more happiness to this world ❤️
It helped me sleep better but over time I was developing nerve issues. I had constant eye twitches and nerve pain running down my left leg.
No more hot flashes and night sweats – Turned 55 and a few days later started getting the occasional hot flash and night sweats which then escalated quickly to one hot flash every… Read more
45minutes! Began taking other herbal supplements containing black cohosh with no noticeable effect after 2 months. I had taken Vitex in my 40s to reduce migraines so started again with just one tablet in the morning with breakfast and WOW reduced hot flashes and night sweats to the point where I'm not sure I'm even having them anymore. I dont want to tempt fate and declare myself cured but will say definately working for me.
Do not buy blackmores multivit for women – This review is for blackmores multivitamins for women. This product is potentially poison. Made me severely bloated and nauseous with right eye… Read more
twitching constantly. Even led to poor concentration, brain fog and fatigue till the time i kept consuming it. Felt better only after I stopped taking these. All those positive reviews for these multivitamins on any of the websites are possibly fake. This product needs to be discontinued asap before it makes more people suffer.
Good – A very effective vitamin, but heed my warning! Take only if you need a supplement. If you already have a healthy diet then there is no need for… Read more
these, otherwise you end up like me with acute hypervitaminosis A. It was bizarre like my conscious state was impaired. I wasn't driving well, which I pride myself on. I couldn't concentrate properly and my vision wasn't good. I started to dark out the rooms during the day. I have stopped taking them and things have returned to normal. I may take one occasionally now but not too many. Sustained release. Very effective and appropriate vitamins. Calmer mood throughout day. Irritability and scattered brain. Lack of concentration.
Fishy – I find these hard to continue you taking on a daily basis which is what is suggested as they are quite big and do have a bit of a taste to them even though is it odourless…
Perfect for Liver Protecting (Dropping the ALT / AST Levels) – Took this while on Roaccutane (isotretinoin) for about four months as a preventative to stop my liver enzymes (ALT / AST) from skyrocketing. As it… Read more
turns out, it not only prevented my ALT and AST levels from spiking, it slashed my numbers in half. Three times a day with every meal - two weeks per 42 pills in each bottle. Magnificent. Thanks Blackmores!
No More Blackmores Products – I was concerned for my health after reading the reviews below and immediately ceased taking 3 capsules daily of the Blackmores Vitamin D3. Within a… Read more
few days I developed a very severe headache and constant nausea. I will never purchase any Blackmores products again. We take vitamins believing that they will benefit our health yet they are making us sick. We are constantly being lied to and mislead by manufacturers. Why aren't they forced to include the ingredients on the label?
My Dr wanted me to take statins for high cholesterol, was not keen so bought Blackmores Cholesterol Health, blood test this week said my cholesterol was normal and I have only been taking half the dose. I am very impressed
Excellent – Evening Primrose oil is good for my skin and Fish oil has been known to take part in fighting against depression, anxiety and moodiness. I highly… Read more
recommend this product to all who want to lead a more healthy and energised lifestyle. Improved the condition of my skin. I had acne and pimple problems.
A good substitute for BioCeuticals Pain Complex – BioCeuticals unfortunately discontinued "Pain Complex" which I was using for chronic back pain. Years ago, I used Blackmore's Professional CPMP and… Read more
decided to try them again.
There was a 6 week "kick-in" period, but it is now working well.
Initially I took 2 tablets with meals, but am down to 1 [3 per day].
The trick is do not stop taking these as your symptoms will return.
Obviously check with your doctor before beginning medication.
They are "Professional" which means you can only buy them from a naturopathy practice or a pharmacy which has an on-staff naturopath.
Good – Generally speaking Blackmores is a famous brand for its good quality. This cod liver oil is a good healthy supplment with a reasonable price. It is… Read more
usualy easy available in most of the supermarket and chemist. I've taken it daily for a long term as I heard of that taking this is good for improving eye sight. I end up benefit from it more than I originally expected for a better calcium absorbtion and health immune system. Cod liver oil is a good resource of Vitamins A and D and omega-3 acids. This Blackmores Cod liver oil has a good quality price ratio. There is nothing I can think of.
Just Started in hope to get more active – i have just started using it for energy, I hope it works. they say it takes couple of months to take effect. I have no adverse reaction , I am taking it in high hope of living better active life. Show details
Did not work for me - Waste of money – I tried it for over a month to improve my sleep quality but could not feel any measurable improvement. My Deep Sleep was about 0 to 5 minutes before… Read more
(measured by Garmin Felix 7X smartwatch) and still the same after taking these pills as directed. I often felt harder to fall into sleep. It may work for others, but not for me.
Be careful about B6 toxicity and muscle twitches (fasciculations) etc – I take a full supplement regime to do a number of things, including not being malnourished while dieting. And also sleep. Hence the B Complex - a way… Read more
to get adequate vitamin B levels, including B6, which I was taking as it is supposed to assist with getting to sleep. I was taking B6 on its own in addition to this, and then just took the Mega B Complex.
I didn't realize that the RDA is 1.7mg and the amount typically provided in these is around 50mg. In B6 specifically, and in the B Complex. So it's more than 10x the recommended dose.
I noted that I was gradually getting increased twitches in my triceps and sometimes pectoral muscles. To the point where it was keeping me awake at night. I went to the doctor about it. It was only using an AI chatbot that I was able to diagnose the problem. Evidently the B6 can be excessive in amounts greater than 1g per day, and likely lower than that. A maximum of 12mg per day is allowed in the EU.

Symptoms over B6 toxicity generally resolve over time, but in some cases there can be permanent problems.
I stopped the supplementation of this about a month ago and gradually the fasciculations (involuntary twitching) in my triceps has ceased completely.
While I am writing this vs a Blackmores product, B6 is in a lot of products, including for sleep, and it is something that for susceptible people is a problem.
Some people are able to take less than 1000mg with no problems, but some (perhaps with the MTHR gene) are not able to. Perhaps for many people this product is ok, but not for me. That's why I've given it 3 stars - for me it is 1 star, but it likely has the correct dosages on the label, just that people should be careful about consuming, and it won't be immediate, it likely takes some time to accumulate toxic effects.
Ok, I've done my bit of public service on the subject of Vitamin B6 toxicity.
Blackmores super magnesium – I purchased this supplement as l was told by my podiatrist that it is good for the prevention of cramps, however, even after using this product for a month, l am still prone to getting leg cramps, so in my opinion this product does not work
Waste of money – Thought I'd try this product. Doesn't make any difference to having to get up to pee at night. Don't waste your money. Show details
Too big to swallow – The capsules are so big they are impossible to swallow. I tried for several days, but I could never get them down and on the 4th day I was chocking and ended bringing up my breakfast. A complete waste of my money
GAVE ME LOTS OF BREAKOUTS!! – The product is supposed to help with anti-inflammatory and hydration to the skin as well as treating hormonal acne. I never have acne, my skin was… Read more
beautifully clean, clear but slightly dehydrated. Since taking it, it’s been 6 weeks now, my skin hasn’t stopped breaking out. I first started with a patch of little white heads on one side of my face close to the lips, then it spreads across my entire left side of my face and forehead, then more appeared on the jawline. On Blackmores’ website says there will be a 6 weeks purging, but I haven’t seen any signs of improvement but much worse. Not only did it make my skin even dryer than before, I notice my lips are irritated too. I’d get super chapped lips and outline of my lips would be swollen as if there are cold sores all over it. I also noticed I started to get ulcers all around my mouth, no matter what I do, it wouldn’t go away. Or it’ll go away a little, then quickly become inflamed again.
