Falling Apart

I've been feeling more Skoda than Roller....bring on the Celergen!

I've been a huge fan of supplements for years. It started when I became vegetarian aged 13: my mum didnt' want to take any chances of me missing out on vital nutrients from dead flesh and so I dutifully chowed down on a variety of vitamins each morning. 

It continued from there, even when I switched back to meat eating. I always took a good multi-vitamin, a fish oil, an evening primrose. And a few months ago I got involved with Celergen. Billed as "the one and only Swiss Anti-aging Marine Oral Cell Therapy Supplement in the world,' the good people at Celergen asked me to try their product for two months, and report back on how it went. I hadn't heard of the product before, but a quick look online revealed it as "The Anti-Ageing Secret of the Rich and Famous". I was instantly hooked. Shallow, moi?

Well here's a confession: I stopped taking it a few weeks ago. I usually take my vitamins first thing in the morning at my desk. I'd been so busy at work that I was hardly ever at my desk, plus I ran out of tablets and didn't seem to have time to contact the Celergen team to get more. Would you like to know what happened? Honestly, all of this is true:

• I got an eye infection in my right eye
• I got an eye infection in my left eye
• I developed a twitch above my left eye (I only ever ger this when chronically tired, which brings me onto my next point)
• I became so chronically tired I could barely get out of bed in the morning
• As a result of this I couldn't face the gym
• The skin on my face became so dry and flaky I resembled a lizard (last night I resorted to putting oil on my face in desperation.)
• I developed a sore throat and have been fighting a cold for a week (Note: I haven't had a cold since 2008)

Say what you like, but this list is way too long to be purely coincidental. If there was any small part of me that still needing convinving about Celergen, that small part has been well and truly silenced. I'm practically breaking my fingers logging on to order online. 

Oh dear Celergen friends, how I've missed you! I shall of  course report back when I'm back to my full, fabulous self.
