I had all the symptoms of a sinus infection that followed a cold. I didn’t want to take an antibiotic, so I used the sinu-orega along with taking infused honey garlic and my problems cleared up.
I really like the Superzymes. I have used other digestive enzymes, but this one was recommended by my naturopathic doctor, so I decided to try it. It has really good ingredients in it. It works well. I started with one pill each meal. It has taken time for me to work up to two pills. Sometimes I will just take the one pill.
Like joint health formula, and Village Green. Dan Evans
Village Green lives up to its wonderful reputation. Its selection of supplements is unmatched. Wonder service, too.
