Question 2

Has anyone reported any weight gain or bloating with this product?

Accepted Answer

I had a holistic doctor have me start taking this. I was gaining weight even though I wasn't eating fatty foods. She had me tested for Cortisol levels throughout the day. Mine was ski high.  I was near hyper thyroid. My hair was falling out and I lost my eyebrows from the stress hormone. I started taking this three years ago. She noted my Cortisol levels start out low in the morning and rise during the day. So I take two in the morning, at lunch, and one at dinner. I had gone from 175lbs down to 130! My eyebrows and hair have grown back too. I stopped taking it last year and started gaining weight and lost my eyebrows again. So, now I will keep taking this. I've already have my eyebrows back and lost 10lbs. It amazing in a few months. I have had no side-effects. I am post-menopausal 64 years old. I have lots of energy too.

Also, dried herbs can indeed "go bad" -- i.e., their potency can diminish or completely disappear. Some sooner than others. Also, some dried herbs can grow mold and bacteria if not properly dried, processed and stored.
