superior liver detox

This is an unusual liver supplement in that it is targeted very specifically for Phase 2 detoxification, which is where I (and most people) need support. I was scheduled for gallbladder surgery, and having all kinds of digestive distress, but after a month of taking 4 caplets of this a day (they're kind of big and hard, but not too bad) and some other helpful things (such as continuing w/ acupuncture and Chinese herbs), I feel much better and have cancelled surgery. Heal your liver, heal the body!

I can't really tell how/if these are working, even though I know I need lots of extra liver support. I don't care for the larger capsules. I think the same company makes another liver formula with Bupleurum in it that has much smaller capsules, and also Dong Quai, whose female-supportive effects I like. So I think I'll try to find that again...

great liver support and cognition booster

I'm taking ALA (2 a day)to support my liver and act as a general antioxidant, as well as to help my mind work better (I'm 35, with chronic fatigue and regular "brain fog"). I've definitely noticed better cognition and a sense of improved well-being after only a couple weeks of taking it. Also, the potency, price, and Vcaps from Now Foods just can't be beat!

This scent is very reminiscent of light men's cologne; I wouldn't recommend it for a woman! For something clean and not flowery, but feminine, go with the green tea scent. This is my favorite brand of deodorant, but I wish it were still stronger on sweating and the stinkies. Otherwise, great feel, great ingredients, great scents (though not bamboo for me), and I love the immune-boosting effect.

my doctor told me that this helps with the conversion of T4 to T3. I take one a day in my chronic fatigue protocol and will continue to take it because of other adaptogenic benefits.

Nature's Way, DIM-plus, Estrogen Metabolism Formula, 120 Capsules

best DIM for right price

I have been diagnosed with extreme estrogen dominance, though I am 36 and not menopausal. My naturopath prescribed DIM for lowering estrogen levels. If you're going to use DIM, use this one-- DIM-PLUS. I have done one month of 4 capsules a day, but my last cycle was still difficult. At this point I believe I'll start intensive progesterone supplementation as well as the DIM. No matter what, it's good to have the "bad estrogen" reduced... there is too much of it in our bodies and environment!

I have to take at least two with a meal to feel like these enzymes are aiding my digestion, but this is a very nice plant-based (no yucky animal "glandulars")full-spectrum blend. Love the Vcaps and the large size, too!

I believe in everyone getting their whey-- wonderful way to get quality protein in the diet, boost their immune system, and gain muscle mass while curbing fat. Even better if you can get greens with it, like with this product. And it tastes great. I am lactose intolerant and have a sensitive digestive system, and my whey shake in the morning is one of the only things that doesn't irritate my GI tract (a fruit smoothie, sometimes with whey powder, also gets high marks). For my morning shake: I combine one serving of greens&whey powder, one banana, and a cup of almond milk and about six cubes of ice. When I have them, I add fresh mint leaves. It is just a delicious, satisfying, healthy-feeling way to start the day.

I bought these for my mother, who has osteoporosis and refuses to take big "horse pills." They dissolve easily in the mouth with a pleasant orange flavor. The combination of Vitamin D with K makes alot of sense for bone health, immune response, and general well-being.

much better than meds

This is part of my blood-stabilizing program and seems to be working well so far (though it's only been three weeks and I need more time to see full effects). I take more than suggested: 3/day, one w/ each meal, along with 3/day of Himalaya Herbs GlucoCare, because that one has everything in it but the Banaba leaf. Combo seems to be working well and certainly better than the meds, i.e. Glumetza.

I'm using this for brain function enhancement, and so far so good, but I only started it a few days ago, so I can't comment fully on results yet. As with many brain supplements, it should probably take at least couple weeks before really seeing a difference. Still, I've done the research, and I'm excited for Alpha GPC to be part of my neurological protocol.
