This supplement was highly recommended by a fellow co-worker. We work in an environment where we deal with the public and I tend to catch everything that goes around…she hasn't gotten sick. I am getting over a viral infection that turned bacterial. I've decided to try these in my healing phase, hoping they help my body get back to normal after sickness and multiple antibiotics. So far, these are not hard on my stomach and after the antibiotics wreaked havoc on my gut, I really needed something gentle but effective!
