    I was given Biostrath, swiss mixture of herbs etc, when I was little because I didnt eat very well, you had to have it 10 mins before you ate, but the horrible taste put me off my food yuk

    I remember - it was malt extract and we had cod liver oil too. I can also remember some very nice orange juice that came in special bottles.

    All those vitamins and omega 3. I think our parents knew more about nutrician than we give them credit for.

    Minadex? I used to love that.

    I thought that was the only way you could get these veggies until I was about 10! :D:D

    Malt extract. Taks me right back, we used to have that plus Haliborange, and Delrosa.

    Our next door neighbours had malt extract, we had Haliborange and Delrosa rosehip syrup. And golden syrup butties and a cooked breakfast every day too! :D
    What was that stuff, by dad still has cravings for it years later as he used to love it, from the health clinic i think?

    We called that Baby Orange - came from visits to the clinic with my little brother! It came in a short tubby glass bottle. :drool:
