OF MULTI-VITAMINS AND APHRODISIACS
At the onset of the first working day of the New Year, Hubby attended a pharmaceutical company’s launching of its new line of vitamins and minerals supplement—the first being a chewable, gummy multi-vitamin for children supposedly formulated with real veggies in dried form, and second, a multi-vitamin for adult that contains a huge amount of ascorbic acid, folic acid, zinc, and among other essential minerals.
Soon as Hubby got home from the launching and handed me the sample of the products that were launched, he was too excited telling me about them especially the one for adults. When I asked what seems to be so special and exciting about the products, well he said (with emphasis on the multi-vitamins for adults and with matching pa-cute pa to me and blink of an eye) that aside from other benefits, it was also an aphrodisiac. “So, eh ano naman ngayon?” said me. Then he explained some more about the supposed formulation of the supplement, saying it has this and that, as if he were a med rep trying to sell a drug. “Okay, you take them and then let’s see if it works,” I said, then that was the end of our talk re: the vitamin supplements.
Fast forward to last Tuesday, on our way home, I suddenly popped a question out of boredom in the middle of traffic along C5. “So ano, are you taking the vitamins already?” I said. Then he was like: suddenly distracted from driving. We were heading to cross towards an intersection when I asked him that, and with vehicles coming from here and there, Hubby was in awe that he almost hit the car in front of us. Good thing he was able to hit the brake quickly, or else… Anyway, back to my question, he replied: “Oo naman, sayang eh, 30 capsules din yun”. Then I said, “Ows talaga, umiinom ka na? Eh bakit parang walang epekto?” Hubby looked at me eagerly and then asked me back: “Teka, eh bakit mo ba tinatanong? Siguro, umiinom ka din nun ano?”
Haha, I got blanked there and not sure what to answer. Not because am guilty for taking the supplement he brought home (because I swear, I don’t, as I still have plenty of my own multi-vitamins, heehee), but because sometimes, and just sometimes, I challenge him to be a little bit fanciful and aggressive as far as the passionate side of our married life is concerned. And whenever I do that, he’d always wonder and asked me back why I’d sometimes provoke him to be like that when in reality, I was also the one who’d always insist and strictly impose that we co-sleep with our Little Boy. Its significance to what I am saying? Well, aside that it enhances attachment parenting like we have always been doing all these years, it’s a very good form of contraception too, ever. 
I originally wanted to share photos of the multi-vitamins, but when I am about to take photos, unfortunately there’s nothing left of the adult vitamin. When I asked Hubby about it, all he said was: “Wala na, kauubos lang”. LOL. Good thing the kiddy vitamin is contained in a plastic bottle (unlike the adult vitamin which is in packed in an insulated capsule form and there’s no box) so at least there’s something to share. BTW, these new products are now available at major drugstores Pinas-wide.

Feng, glad your back.
I think that same supplement your Jun took was the ones in the news recently, if memory serves me right. Effective ba?
thanks T.Julie!
if your referring to Abbott’s newly-launched multivitamin, yun nga yata yun. I forgot the name na, pero mukhang bumili si Hubby ng 30 capsules pagkatapos maubos nung freebie dun sa product launch. Does that mean it’s effective? bwahahahaha.
