 'Pill' |
Pills, pills, pills. Being HIV positive can seem like one endless round of pill popping. Breakfast, lunch, dinner - ‘did I, didn’t I?’ memory lapses. It’s so easy to lose track and end up missing doses. That’s where a pill box designed to suit your regime and lifestyle can help. Fill one up on a Sunday night and then you don’t need to worry about it for the rest of the week. The box will remind you what you have already taken and when you need to take the next dose. Muji, PillMate and even The Design Museum offer various styles. There are funky little ones for nights out clubbing, stackable ones that are great for travelling and one that you can attach to your key-ring.

For the ever-forgetful, Casio also does a range of watches with multiple alarms that will give you a little reminder up to four times a day; they even make a pill-box alarm-clock.

We’ve featured many food and herbal supplements on these pages over
the years but Pure Synergy takes the biscuit. It’s a one-stop-shop
super food with a mind-boggling list of ingredients. Algae, grass juices,
enzymes, Chinese and Western herbs, Asian mushrooms, fruit and berry extracts.
Over 60 different ingredients aimed at boosting energy, immunity and even
mental clarity.
It comes as a powder that can be mixed with juice to form a rather interesting green drink or for greater convenience it is also in capsule form. Pure Synergy isn’t cheap, but if you’re a supplement junkie then this could probably replace all the others.
Pure Synergy powder £34.50 for 142g and capsules £47.95 for 270 from Xynergy on 08456 58 58 58 www.xynergy.co.uk or from the Nutri Centre in London.
