I have seen a couple of cases of vitamin deficiencies here, rickets and pellagra (vitamin D and niacin respectively). So, getting vitamins here is important. A common one for kids is a liver extract (the "cod liver oil" of infamy in the old US). The picture shows one meant for strengthening the blood with protein and iron. It is literally "hemoglobin syrup" and lists hemoglobin as the key component. That is 90% of the content of red blood cells, so this is a blood extract. I was informed that it tastes as bad as you might imagine.

They could at least spice up the label a bit. Something other than a reminder that you are ingesting "fresh squeezed heart juice".
Yummy.
Now that beats vegemite by a mile, but could be a close second to musk flavored Lifesavers. Both sampled in Australia a few years back. -- Roy
