Thanks Chops...I suffer from cramping occasionally and a couple of bottles of Gatorade usually fix it up, i thought it was the potassium but now maybe i can look for a magnesium supplement!

Ultra muscle eze would be the one to use.

Or endura if you want something to drink during exercise, without the sugar of sports drinks.
 
I've never understood this space anyway.

You're not buying what you pay for with these highly visible brands.

Premium products are now at a comparable price, even with shipping.

And despite endorsements and so on, professional athletes still use brands like usana essentials, which do have much higher quality controls, and are independently tested.

The only cramps I get are when I'm salt depleted. Having salt provides relief within a couple of minutes.
One of the negative effects of drinking excessive amounts of water can be the over-dilution of the electrolytes.

Same here - since adolescence. A couple of pinches of salt in a glass of water does the trick. I have heard some suggestion that magnesium can be important for sperm health (Zinc is important). A good diet should provide all the minerals and vitamins a person needs.
 
Great Australian company , I held these guys many years ago and got in at about $4.00 , Unfortunately sold out at around $21 when the GFC took it's toll. It was a Company founded by Naturopath's over 70 years ago and still is going strong. It's the qaulity of ingredients and the strength of them that has given them the market share we are seeing. Their biggest breakthrough was a product called MACU-Vision , wich aids with macular degeneration and eye condtion that can lead to blindness. It's one of the very few alternative medicine products actually proven by science to work. That's when their shares took off , and that was at least ten years ago. http://www.blackmores.com.au/

Both of these great products are made by Ethical Nutrients a Brisbane Company located near Hendra. They are the Pro-Biotic leaders also. A company that I think could be the next Blackmores , but is yet to list on the ASX .
I'm waiting keenly for that day to come.
 


Ultra Muscle Eze is actually from BioCeuticals, another great Australian nutraceuticals brand, recntly acquired by Blackmores.
 
It would appear that Blackmores has a proprietary steroid formula which they are withholding from the market and have been discretely giving it to their employees. :bounce:
This is just absolutely phenomenal growth. I haven't really looked at the company in extensive detail, but I do remember a few analysts calling it the end of the run for them at about $30.
 
Nice, I cant believe people pay for vitamin supplements
Most supp doesn't help IMHO, what helps is regular exercise and eat proper food but good for them they manage to be able to sell ice to the eskimo

I don't buy vitamin supplements, but I do buy one Blackmores product, it is called "Cold Combat". It contains the extract of Andrographis paniculata an Ayurvedic herb, the extract mainly consists of andrographolide, which is a simple diterpene lactone. I find it effective as an anti-inflammatory in a number of conditions, similar in effect to other lactones (like those found in Withania somnifera).

Recently the product was changed from a bottle of tablets to a blister pack of unrefined extract in capsules.

Good product. Just an anecdote from a happy customer who has always kept some on hand since I first discovered it.
 
I don't doubt some of the stuff are ok but the majority of Vitamin supplement are questionable and that where the money is, cheap to manufacture sell at crazy price

but gezz shareholder has to be happy with the performance and like the way they look after their staffs ..

Will it hold above $100?

Didn't one of the Blackmores sold some $7 millions worth when it was at around $48/share - to pay for his yacht and personal finances? That was only a few months ago.

Sales of $346M, net profit of $25M and it's worth $1.5B?

That's insane.

It might be understandable if its products could potential cure cancer or extend life by a few decades... but it's vitamin and supplements right? Maybe rich Asians and Chinese might be really addicted to Western herbal/vitamins but seriously, I think the market is way too optimistic on this one.
 


With all the crap in the soil, air and water over there, the rich do need the vitamins and supplements to extend their life, as for the poor, well.....

Blackmores
NPAT $46.6m
DIV $1.35
EPS $2.71


I'm holding Healthscope shares, opposite ends on the Health spectrum and guess what. The SP dropped with the release of financial results today.

Healthscope
NPAT $153.1m
DIV $0.037
EPS $0.086

Comparing apples with oranges here, next time perhaps I'll choose a product/company that'll extend life rather then a fix upper.
 

Your numbers are all wrong?!

Got them from Commsec. Was last year's figures.

Didn't bother opening up their latest annual report so maybe shouldn't comment, but yea... it's not going to double every couple of years and take over the world as its share price growth suggests though.

But of course I have been wrong on it.
 


The rich would already have all those needs met, they're not going to buy more because there's only so much vitamins you can take before it's harmful - I guess. Well... maybe they could grind it up and mix it in their bath water or something, haha...

But yea, haven't look into the company so just general comments. But at the current multiple...I'd take Blackmores lead and sell to buy myself a yacht or two.
 
wow, the last post before yesterday's was more than two years ago...how did this slip under everyone's radar...
