For Honey Lovers!


To all those who love honey but finding it expensive - I have the best deals for you.

Unique MGO™ Manuka Honey is collected from a New Zealand plant called Leptospermum scoparium. For quite some time the unique manuka honey anti-bacterial activity was known and measured by a general measurement of its biological effect.
What was causing the antibacterial activity remained unknown for almost 15 years.


The discovery came from the research group led by Professor Thomas Henle, University of Dresden (Germany).

“We unambiguously demonstrate for the first time that Dietary Methylglyoxal is directly responsible for the anti-bacterial activity of manuka honey”

(reported Molecular Nutrition and Food Research, January, 2008)

So far MGO™ Manuka honey has been the only food in the world found with such a significant Dietary Methylglyoxal content ranging from 20mg/kg to over 800mg/kg. In contrast all other honeys worldwide tested have ranged between 1 to 10 mg/kg, other foods range from 0 to 50mg/kg with coffee and cocoa being the highest.

Giving you the best value

I believe that honesty is the best policy, and i also believe that nobody should pay an arm and a leg just to maintain good health.

I believe that good health should be affordable and with Supplement Mamashop, I strive to give the best value you can afford. Prices that you see is what you pay for, no funny marketing to charge you more and my mark up is extremely low, no high markups then heavy discounts - the costing is based upon transport, my time and work for bringing in the supplements.

I too hate pesky hard selling and deceptive marketing, I will match cent for cent to bring the best value to your prices and if i cannot match it, i will recommend you a shop to get it - no questions asked.

If you do find a place locally in Singapore, be it online or in a retail shop which sells the same product at a cheaper price let me know - Give me a link to the product or take a photo of the price tag and where did you find it.

Also if you have bought from me and wish to sample a product, let me know and i will give you free samples before you buy. Buying lemons is something I hate too and I don't wish it to happen to my customers with my business practices as everyone's body react differently to each product.

All of the products I've selected are tested personally by me, I'm a firm believer of practicing what i preach because I like to know the products i'm reselling for the potency and best dosing protocols for the best results.

If you need advice on how to supplement your life, feel free to email - bodyblitzz@gmail.com and I will advise you accordingly - rest assured, no hard sell but giving you the best value.

Fish Oil

Fish oil is recommended [1] for a healthy diet because it contains the omega-3 fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), precursors to eicosanoids that reduce inflammation throughout the body. Fish do not actually produce omega-3 fatty acids, but instead accumulate them from either consuming microalgae that produce these fatty acids, as is the case with fish like herring and sardines, or, as is the case with fatty predatory fish, by eating prey fish that have accumulated omega-3 fatty acids from microalgae.

Betaine HCL -


Betaine hydrochloride is an acidic form of betaine, a vitamin-like substance found in grains and other foods. Betaine hydrochloride is recommended by some doctors as a supplemental source of hydrochloric acid for people who have a deficiency of stomach acid production (hypochlorhydria).

A deficiency of gastric acid secretion increases the likelihood and severity of certain bacterial and parasitic intestinal infections. A normal stomach’s level of gastric acid is sufficient to destroy bacteria.1 In one study, most fasting people who had normal acidity in the stomach had virtually no bacteria in the small intestine. Some bacterial colonization of the stomach occurred in people who had low levels of hydrochloric acid.2

Manuka Honey -

UMF Manuka, also known as "Medihoney" in some pharmacies, is the preferred honey for wound dressing and other special therapeutic uses and studies are showing Manuka with high levels of UMF could be very effective in helping relieve stomach ulcer symptoms and gastritis, and sore throats, and when applied topically, in assisting the natural cure of skin ulcers, wounds, burns, boils, cracked skin. That is also why many skincare products also contain UMF manuka as a special ingredient and promise positive benefits from their regular application on the skin.

This brings more savings to you as a consumer and a avid health enthusiast.
I know, because I've been investing so much money in them yet i find that the prices are just not as competitive as online.

Buying from shops has it's pros and cons -

Pros -

Fast/hassle free transaction.
"warranty" that you can return if the product is found to be bad.
A selection of variety of products.
Recommendation of which products might suit you.

Cons -

Expensive markup - sometimes too expensive.
May not have all the brand that you wish to use.
Cannot get reviews from consumers who've tried it.


Buying online too as its pros and cons -

Pros -

Cheaper that what you get in stores.
A very wide selection of products.
Reviews and rating of products according to consumers

Cons

Hassle with transaction - ( Credit card and photo ID verfication)
Credit card may not be accepted
Shipping can take more than 1 week for the cheaper option
Packages maybe lost and more time wasted just to get what you need.
No exchange if the product gets damage in transit or if the product is found bad.

Being a consumer myself, i've experience this and i wish to bring the right balance of service and prices.

Prices on the products i'm bringing in will not be as cheap as online stores overseas but i'll try to match cent for cent with local online and brick and mortar stores locally and yet give the same standard that retail shops offer - product recommendation, ease of transaction and no waiting time for shippment

I want to bring the best value to the everyday folks.
