Concern has been increasing that Americans might be overusing PPIs...

This spray really keeps the nats away from your face. Only problem is once i start using it, all my friends " borrow" it.
![Zinc Balance](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0319/0960/9603/products/zb_1_70x70.jpg?v=1582785650)
So necessary for immune system.

Gaia Certified Organic Peppermint Leaf oil has been a blessing to me since contracting post-infectious IBS over six years ago. Several drops in a glass of water will calm any overactive GI issues. Definitely worth a try!
![Glucosamine/Chondroitin/MSM Ultra Rx-Joint Tablets](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0319/0960/9603/products/GLUCOSAMINECHONDROITINMSM-5647_70x70.jpg?v=1617647970)
I remember when I first bought these for my dad due to his arthritis. It’s all he’s ever had to use for a few years now. Im so happy I found village green it has saved us so much time and stress trying to calm the sever pain he used to suffer wasn’t easy and I’ve never had a single issue with shipping or payment.

I have just started taking K2 and would like to reserve my opinion until I have completed one bottle

Their bee pollen is refrigerated and fresh. Unlike the dry bee pollen.
I have it with yogurt, cereal, even scrambled eggs.

Great communication on the delivery
![CHOLACOL #2425](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0319/0960/9603/products/Untitled_20_0c27c841-5f72-4ce5-96f6-01c3150d295a_70x70.jpg?v=1647969179)
Both my son and I have had our gallbladders removed and we were having trouble digesting our meals. We were told about Cholacol by my sister, so we tried it. It has made all the difference! Food easily digests....no more bloating, upset stomachs and constipation!
![5-MTHF 1 MG](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0319/0960/9603/products/5mthf-1_068c1d52-d447-488d-b7c7-ded75a14b80c_70x70.jpg?v=1657203219)
My doc wants me to take this and methyl B12 because my homocysteine is too high and I have the MTHFR gene mutation. I haven’t taken it long enough to see any difference in homocysteine levels, but I do notice a couple positive things: 1. My hair has stopped falling out by the hands full, 2. The myriad of seborrheic keratosis “barnacles” that I have all over have started to disappear.
Unfortunately, this stuff is like pure speed to my system. I have to take it very early in the morning and now have to take melatonin to sleep. Still experimenting with how much and what kind. Could be worse I guess !
My teen son and I absolutely LOVE Results RNA products! Ease of use is top notch and most importantly they work. We both feel fantastic on the many days we take them and feel sluggish the days we are slacking and do not take them. We use the entire line of sprays.
