More Tips on getting ingredients This page is for Australians or New Zealanders who are puzzled about getting the suggested powders in this country. 1. Shiitake mushrooms can be bought dried and powdered yourself. You may be able to get them at your local supermarket. If not, a good health food store or herbalist should be able to help. Alternatively you can buy the shiitake and reishi mushroom tablet made by Mediherb®. Get this from a good health food store or herbalist.2. Kelp powder or tablets are readily available from a good health food store or herbalist. One brand is "Blooms", www.blooms.com.au. 3. Fenugreek is a culinary herb from the supermarket (or a reliable health food store). Try buying organic whole fenugreek and powdering it in a liquidizer. 4. Whey protein isolate is often "practitioner only" in my experience. Get from a good health food store that has a naturopath. If you really want to you can email me a message giving me the following information and I will probably be able to give you my practitioner code to order the isolate direct from www.fit.net.au. FIT sell two products with whey protein isolate in, "Whey Factors®" (Bioceutical® range) and "Isowhey®" (Pharmafoods® range).

Email dbird@lis.net.au. You must be in Australia or NZ if are going to email me. 5. Cartilage products, chondroitin and glucosamine are readily available from chemists, health food stores, supermarkets etc. If you want to you can email me as per point "4" above so you can use my practitioner code to get chondroitin and glucosamine powder direct from www.fit.net.au. Their powder contains some minerals and other additives too. It is called "Chondrosamine Joint Food Supplement" and is part of the Pharmafoods® range. See also below under "taste issues". The "Chondrosamine Joint Food Supplement" contains 20% chondroitin/glucosamine, which is a little less than is present in pure shark cartilage powder. 6. Vegecaps (vegetable capsules made from cellulose) are available from good health food stores and over the 'net from www.vitaminsaustralia.com.au (as the "Hilda Herbs" vegecap). Taste Issues I have recently decided, until further notice, to enjoy a more tastier recipe by using more of the "Chondrosamine Joint Food Supplement" which has a powerful orange flavour added to it. I put my tsp of the glycopowder in the glass, then I add in an additional tsp of the "Chondrosamine Joint Food Supplement" and then pour on the soy milk and let it sit for awhile. It tastes YUMMY to me.
