Review: It really works! Take with protein meals only! - Lately I’ve been having gut issues including acid reflux, bloating, indigestion etc. When I eat certain meals I notice I get full really fast then the other symptoms follow. After doing some research I decided to buy this. I took it with my first bite of breakfast and feel fine! But do your research and only take this with meals where there is PROTEIN as this will help break them down properly. Also make sure to get some l glutamine, aloe Vera gel, and zinc carnosine to help attack your gut issues at the source and heal them. These won’t heal your gut but they are a good supplement to take while you are in the process of healing and make digesting food so much easier.
Review: Improved digestion - Taking one with meals and really noticed no more bloating and belly pain. Digestion has improved . Will continue !

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Improved digestion

Taking one with meals and really noticed no more bloating and belly pain. Digestion has improved . Will continue !

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ GAME CHANGER
*by L***I on January 21, 2026*

Two words - game changer. I’ve been suffering with diarrhea ever since I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s and put on levothyroxine. Sorry for the TMI upfront, but this supplement gives me regular bowel movements every day. After reading all the reviews, I thought I would give it a try. I have been using this product for 2 weeks. Every morning a normal bm. I take one before every meal with digestive enzymes. I also eat gluten free as well. And no sweets. So far VERY happy with the results…
