Dolores Prendeville owner/manager and shop assistants Ruth Burke, Sam Prendeville and Pamela Muller review granola, beard oil, brown rice pasta and ashwaghanda powder.
1. VITAMIN D3
Dolores says: “Viridian Vitamin D3 in liquid and capsule and Better You Vitamin D3 spray are great products. Vitamin D boosts our immunity and is a must-have, especially in the winter.”
2. MAGNESIUM
Pamela says: “Better You Magnesium products include flakes, spray, lotion and gel. Choose one to target a specific area like muscles, joints or sleep, or use flakes for a relaxing, detoxifying bath.”
3. ASHWAGHANDA POWDER
Ruth says: “I’m really into Organic Traditions Ashwaghanda root powder at the moment. As a busy mum who works and studies I find it a great tonic for energy and vitality. It also promotes restful sleep, a big bonus in my book.”
4. BEARD OIL
Sam says: “Every Man Jack Beard Oil is one of my favourites. It’s great value, does its job perfectly and doesn’t irritate my skin.”
5. GRANOLA
Pamela says: “I’m a big fan of Lizi’s granola. It is full of flavour and has a nice crunch. A great start to the day with some yogurt, and a tasty snack!
6. BROWN RICE PASTA
Dolores says: “I love La Bio Idea brown rice pasta. It’s really tasty, cooks quickly and is very good value.”
Healthy Vision in Roscrea, Co Tipperary

This issue owner-manager Shirley Sheil from Healthy Vision reviews an iron supplement, skin salve, homeopathic formula and immune support.
1. SKIN SALVE
“Dublin Herbalists Skin Saviour manufactured in Mullinahone, Co Tipperary is an essential addition to any household. It is suitable for cuts, scrapes, bruises, stings, rashes, minor sports injuries and new scars.”
2. HOMEOPATHIC FORMULA
“New Vistas Mucous Liquescence is the remedy I would recommend to address any mucous conditions such as persistent coughs, recurrent chest infections, allergies and sinusitis. It is manufactured in Limerick.”
3. IRON SUPPLEMENT
“Natures Plus Hema-Plex is an iron supplement that’s effective but also very gentle on the body. Take it if you need to improve your vitality, strength, blood health, brain function and immune system.”
4. MAGNESIUM FORMULA
“PrizMag Magnesium Bisglycinate is free from fillers, stearates and magnesium oxide, so you can be sure you are getting nothing but a high quality magnesium supplement. Magnesium can help reduce anxiety, depression, stress and insomnia.”
5. ANTI-REDNESS FORMULA
“When facial redness knocks your confidence try Rosalique 3 in 1 Anti-Redness Miracle Formula SPF50. When applied to hypersensitive and redness-prone skin it instantly looks more even-toned, less agitated and signs of redness are reduced.”
6. RAW DAIRY
“We are delighted to be stocking pure unadulterated 100% organic raw dairy products from local Crawfords farm. They have been filtered and chilled but never pasteurised [heated] or homogenised [crushed]. By buying these products we are investing in a better food system.”
7. IMMUNE SUPPORT
“Dr Wolz is especially developed to help strengthen the immune system. It’s my go-to for kids recovering from a bad bout of flu, recurring infections and allergies. Also suitable to take after antibiotic treatment.”
