Biotin Supports Healthier Skin & Metabolism: Biotin can also help support healthier, glowing skin & metabolism. Biotin's role in skin health may be related to its effect on fat metabolism, which is important for the skin. Biotin is one of several B vitamins that supports a healthy metabolism, working as a co-enzyme to help break down food, including carbohydrates, fats & protein. Nourish your skin from the inside out with MaryRuth’s great tasting Biotin chews!

This blend of B Vitamins, Zinc and Fo-Ti Extract is formulated to strengthen hair, skin and nails. Biotin deficiencies can lead to thinning hair, dry and scaly skin, and brittle nails. This boost of B vitamins — Biotin (B7), B9 (Folate) and B12 (Methylcobalamin) — is crucial for cell formation, development and health. Zinc is needed for a healthy immune system, cellular metabolism, and skin integrity. Research has shown zinc to be an effective healing tool for skin lesions, including acne, and helps return luster to hair. Reynoutria multiflora or Fo-Ti Extract, long used in Traditional Chinese Medicine, is there to improve skin health and promote hair growth, and may even have a restorative effect on graying hair.

Each bottle comes with 30 servings.

PRODUCT EXPERIENCE

I was looking for a biotin supplement that I can take to support and boost my hair growth. My hair strands had been crazy thin these days especially when the pandemic came, probably because of stress. When I saw that Mary Ruth's have a Biotin line and they were in the form of gummies, I knew I had to try it!

Mary Ruth's Biotin gummies is a tad pricey compared to other biotin supplements. It costs ₱1,300.00 a bottle (60 pcs.) which is already quite expensive for me. Other biotin supplements in the market costs ₱600-₱800 only. I bought one anyway just to give it a try! The packaging is pretty neat and minimal. I took the supplements twice a day, every after meal. One after lunch and one after dinner. The gummies were heart-shaped and tasted like berries. It doesn't get stuck in my teeth and was very easy to chew! I actually looked forward to taking this everyday because it's yummy!

I only bought 1 bottle and so far there were no significant changes in my body except that my nails grew faster than normal. I didn't notice any changes in my hair strands, they were still normal as is. My hair also didn't grew longer quickly. As for the effects on my skin, it didn't clear my acne, didn't lightened my dark spots nor smoothened my skin. The results might have not been significant because I only took the supplement for a month.

Will I purchase again? Maybe yes, maybe not.

Yes, because it tastes good and it's made with great ingredients that are all safe and healthy for the body!

It has no GMO, it's gluten free and safe for vegan.

No, because it's too expensive for me to take on a regular basis. It also seems like the effects of the product will only be noticeable after 3 to 6 months of use.

Biting a very crisp of Bonbanhmi, you are just like enjoying the best fine cuisine and the top of taste balancing skill in Vietnamese Sandwich.

Bon Bahn Mi Sandwich

I have always been fascinated on how Banhmi Sandwiches tasted. I'm not a fan of sandwiches so it's not something I would crave for from time to time, not until I have tried Bon Banhmi's sandwich in Makati! I can't believe my workplace is very close to the BEST, if not one of the BEST Banhmi sandwiches in Manila. The only branches I have visited so far would be their Mayapis branch and their newly opened stall in Taft, Vito Cruz!

Bon Banhmi offers a very limited set of menu but i've tried almost everything on their menu and neither one of them disappoints <3

I was so happy when they opened a branch in Vito Cruz cause it's so convenient for me to buy one for lunch before I go to the office. I also feel happy for the Lasalle Students that a healthy take away meal is now available just a few steps away from School!

New Stall in University Mall

I am a person who's always in a hurry as in - late - not punctual and I always end up eating fast food which isn't good for my body especially if it's becoming an everyday routine so when I discovered Bon Bahnmi, Dang it was heaven sent! It's everything that i've always wanted - a quick and healthy take-away meal that is also affordable!

Updated Menu

TOP 3 FAVORITES

1. Roasted Pork Banhmi

2. Grilled Beef Banhmi

*3. Traditional Banhmi

This includes three types of ham. Made of pork lean paste, sated shredded meat, pig's head past, boiled meat, jambon, bahn mi's special paste, and mayonnaise.

I usually order the Large one before priced at P119 but I can't seem to finish all of it so I just order their medium size. They don't scrimp out on the ingredients and the sandwich still stays crispy even after leaving it for an hour untouched!

Salad Stop Greenhills

I was invited by my boyfriend to try Salad Stop when we dropped by at Greenhills, San Juan. Salad would probably the only type of veggie dish that i'd eat cause the vegetables are fresh and it tastes good.

Salad Stop has a very cozy ambiance. I like how it's located on the first floor of a building with a gym on the third floor, it must be very convenient to eat a healthy meal after working out!

They have a dessert counter which offers different kinds of healthy desserts and sweets. I love how it is packed and can be brought effortlessly to work!

Salad Stop Dessert Bar

On the counter bar they have an open section with the view of different fruits and vegetables plus healthy toppings which includes nuts and other interesting healthy options that you can include on your salad.

Everything just feels so organic. I like the vibrancy of the colors of the fruits and vegetables which makes everything look more appetizing.

I ordered the Cobb Salad which is priced at P290 for the wrap. It consists of romaine, grilled chicken, cheddar, cheese, egg, avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onions, bacon bits, and ranch dressing. I liked this a lot and my boyfriend even like this better the one he ordered which is the Oh Crab Lah! it consists of romaine, crab sticks, egg, vermicelli, cherry tomatoes, red onions, croutons and Singapore Chili Crab Dressing.

The Cobb Salad is something that everyone will definitely like. I keep ordering this for take outs and I really feel full after! The good kind of busog and not the bloated one!

The serving is honestly very big. I always thought that salads are not filling as this one cause whenever I eat salad for appetizer I don't really get full. This one is different, It's so filling as in nakakabusog level but lighter and healthier!

Salad Stop Oh Crab La!

They also sell pudding and healthy kale chips!

I will definitely come back for more :) I just wish they have cheaper options for people like me who are always on the go, pero always on the tipid rin! If you are looking for a healthy go-to meal try Salad Stop, NOW!
