My liver hurts if I don't take at least one dose of these herbs every day. I've been taking them for years and I can't function without them. They're best taken on an empty stomach first thing in the morning, and then I don't eat for at least 40 minutes.<br /><br />Here's what I have found works best for me:<br />I add about 6 ounces of water to a half-pint mason jar, squirt some liquid minerals in, add a few drops each of lemon essential oil and peppermint essential oil, and then add a tablespoon of these freeze-dried herbs. Then I put the lid on the jar and either shake it a whole bunch OR let it sit for 15 minutes to allow the powder to slowly get wet and make it easier to mix in. After shaking, I take the lid off and drink the whole thing WITH A STRAW. (If I drink it without a straw, there is too much sediment left over in the bottom of the jar. It's so much easier with a straw.) After I drink it all in one breath with the straw, I fill the jar with water, put the lid on, shake one more time to get the remnants, and then drink. I can feel it working and it feels so good!<br /><br />I have tried taking plain milk thistle, and while it helps, the other ingredients in these freeze-dried herbs make it work much better.<br /><br />The jar says it contains 18 servings, but I can't get that many servings out of a single jar. I go through a jar every 10-12 days (1 serving a day).<br /><br />Sometimes I will take more than one dose a day, but none of them make as big a difference as that dose first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. And if I eat right away, I can tell it doesn't work as well. I would rather completely skip breakfast than eat too soon after taking my herbs.<br /><br />Edit: I was told by an employee at the health food store that taking pure essential oils internally is fine occasionally but can be bad for your liver. So I have stopped adding the peppermint oil and lemon oil to my concoction. I still take these herbs every day though.

There are things in life that can make a big impact or a small impact. I was taught to always make sure I'm chasing the right target for my goal. It took me awhile to finally figure it out but the speed of your metabolism is directly related to how well your liver functions and how much muscle you have. This helps A LOT with the first. The liver also hates acetaminophen, alcohol (especially wine), vegetable oils and fructose....... sorry wine drinkers, that's two of these no-nos for liver function.

After 4 months of use I can say I absolutely feel better. Lots better.<br /><br /> I have not had stabbing pains in the lower right quadrant, or whatever that area is called.<br /><br />I have good bowel function again.<br /><br />But they only have 8 bottles left. Sure hope they get some more.

I love this product. I've been using for over two months. I have many health issues. I was sensitive to many healthy ingredients including milk thistle because my body was so congested and toxic. I began using this tsp at a time. Worked my way up to tbsp per smoothie. 2x a day. My bloodwork came back improved this week. I also lost about 13 lbs for a female on low dose Prednisone.. i have also given up flesh in favor of vegetarian diet for now as I'm trying to detox my body from years of medications that never made me feel any better and had actually caused more damage to my body . Thanks for such an awesome product. It has really assisted me in regaining my health.

I have studied homeopathic for liver function since losing my gallbladder over twenty years ago. I watch my intake of fatty foods but I like my liquor.<br />This product is quickly effective for liver cramping and painful stone passage. My bowl movements are more consistent. My blood sugar seems more stable. I don't have any ill effects to responsible alcohol consumption. It all happens quickly too. I am still working on how to mix it but there are great tips from other users on the review page I am going to try.

Ok I will continue to buy this product. Not only can you feel the difference in your body immediately but it actually taste AMAZING! I CRAVE IT!
