Many products exist in the market to improve your health. Some work well and some don’t. There are several that offer false promises while others work by trial and error. Even if one group of people swear by how effective their purchase was, it may not work for another group of people.
Although there is no guarantee you will get as much as benefit as my family does, here are some products that have done wonders to contribute to my family’s health on a budget.
Collagen Peptides
As you age, you can start feeling the effect on your skin, nail and hair. Joints start to ache. When you walk or run, you feel like you lost your youth and cannot perform as well as you did before your 30s.
After some trial and error with several supplements, we have found that collagen peptides help quite a bit. Any backache or joint pain recovers quickly. Hair loss seems to subside after consuming the collagen peptides.
You can buy collage peptides either at your favorite retail store or at Amazon by clicking on the image on the right.
If your belief does not allow you to eat bovine products, there are also collagen peptides based on marine sources. You can click on this link to try a marine collagen peptide brand and search a separate alternative.
Collagen peptides come in pill forms as well. Some people prefer pills to powder while others prefer the powder version. You can try either one and find out what works best for you.
Collagen peptides have also helped me and my family sleep well.
Air Filters
If you suffer from allergy or just worried about the quality of air inside your home, an air purifier is a good investment. There are many types of air purifiers depending on the size of the room.
For an average household, most air filters in the air conditioning unit (Merv13 and up) work and do the job. However, if you are sensitive to allergy, a separate HEPA air filter will further purify the air and makes a big difference. You will notice the difference when you breathe.
If your breathing improves and don’t cough as much, naturally you will start sleeping well.
You can buy an air purifier at Walmart, Target, Costco or online at Amazon.
Magnesium Supplements
Some of my family members suffered from sleeplessness but wanted a more natural alternative to melatonin. Doctors assured us that melatonin was fine but we wanted to try something else as most of you. After some research and anecdotal feedback from other friends in the health blog community, we stumbled upon magnesium supplements.
Magnesium works even better than other sleep aids for me and my family. It helps me calm down and helps me fall asleep right away no matter how stressful day I had.
You can also buy other brands which have Magnesium gummies or magnesium powder which dissolves in water.
Anti-stress Tea
We love sleepy time tea in our households. We have not tried taking magnesium and sleepytime tea at the same time. We usually alternate nights between magnesium supplement and tea depending on the stress levels experience.
Again there are several brands in the market. You can try a brand you like or maybe you will find some brands work a lot better than others.
Energy Multiplier Powder
After a good night’s sleep, it is equally important to wake up alert and have sustained energy throughout the day without crashing. I am not a big fan of various energy drinks.
While shopping at Costco, we found this liquid I.V. energy powder on a discount. This has done well to help my family be calm and have sustained energy thorough-out the day.

Eating whole foods and exercising are more important for great health. So you should still continue to eat whole foods and exercise. These products are supplements to your health and not substitutes.
Of course, there may be hundreds of other products that people swear by. If there are some supplements or products, please leave a comment below so that we can all benefit from your knowledge.

I love the anti stress tea, because working from home is not that relaxing. You need to juggle a lot of things, like home chores and your work especially.
