Did you know that...

...Flintstones contain the same vitamins and minerals as prescription prenatal vitamins?


I got the info from my friend Jo :)

I did a little online research and I came upon this site listing the contents of prenatal vitamins:

• 4,000 and 5,000 IU (international units) of vitamin A
• 800 and 1,000 mcg (1 mg) of folic acid
• 400 IU of vitamin D
• 200 to 300 mg of calcium
• 70 mg of vitamin C
• 1.5 mg of thiamine
• 1.6 mg of riboflavin
• 2.6 mg of pyridoxine
• 17 mg of niacinamide
• 2.2 mcg of vitamin B-12
• 10 mg of vitamin E
• 15 mg of zinc
• 30 mg of iron

I decided to check it out at the drugstore and how about that? There are different varieties of Flintstones!

I went for the one with the most pretentious-sounding contents. Flintstones Vitamins and Minerals Plus Iron. This type contains:

• 2500 I.U.Retinol Equivalent (Vitamin A)
• 400 I.U. Vitamin D3
• 15 I.U Alpha Tocopherol (Vitamin E)
• 1.05 mg Thiamine (Vitamin B1)
• 1.20 mg Riboflavin (Vitamin B2)
• 1.05 mg Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (Vitamin B6)
• 4.5 mcg Hydroxocobalamin (Vitamin B12)
• 300 mcg Folic Acid
• 13.5 mg Nicotinic Acid (Niacin)
• 60 mg Sodium Ascorbate (Vitamin C)
• 15 mg Iron (elemental) --> wow, what's that? a game console character? hehe.

Flintstones COMPLETE (the kind I failed to buy) has 400 mcg Folic Acid per candy... uh... I mean, tablet. So that means, 2 tablets per day should give you approximately the same effect as prenatal vitamins.

NOTE: If you were prescribed prenatal vitamins by your doctor, please consult first before switching to Flintstones. I am merely talking off the top of my head. Plus, I'm biased... I like Flintstones better than boring old tablets and capsules.

Bag Organizers

I've been hearing and seeing these things online for quite some time now and I don't understand why I never got one earlier. It's so... convenient! Just put all the stuff you put in your purse there and when you have to change purses... just move the entire thing. I won't ever have to forget my i.d. and access card ever again! (I hope...).

The one I bought has a gazillion pockets and compartments!

Ok, that's exagerating.

It's about 10" x 8"... the size of a medium-sized bag. This size suits me and fits inside most of my bags. I need a big one because the cosmetics bag I carry with me everywhere is already about 7" x 5" big. My bag organizer has 3 compartments, 3 inner pockets, 1 inner zipped pocket, 3 side pockets for cellphones, 3 pen holders, a key holder, and a small coin purse.

Price: P180.00 (Approx $4)

Smaller ones go for P150 (Approx $3.50) .
