These are her words to me. Everyone may respond differently to any supplement. She took 2 bottles while changing nothing else in her life, aka food, activity etc. She did this just to see if anything would change. Unfortunately the scale and mirror did not change for her. She did notice reduced appetite. She does have an under active thyroid that the doctor says is fine. I do not have the blood work numbers, but he said it was low, just not low enough to medicate. I love SNS/CEL products, especially m-test AE stack. So I certainly don't want anyone to think I am just hating on them.
