I was paying so much more

This product was just as good. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE was the pills were smaller so more had to be taken. It was first my 93 year old Mothers incontinence issues.

Thank you for your feedback– please email me (John) at [email protected] if you would like to me to look into ordering a tincture for this formula… that might make it easier to give her this formula. No guarantees but I can try if you want.

Other symptoms (in addition to fatigue) that it can address are lower back pain, fatigue, tinnitus and eneuresis,
