CUSTOMER REVIEWS

What our patients say:

Forever grateful to have found this product. Had dull but very annoying discomfort on my right side for about ten months. The doc first said it was gastritis but last month another doc said it’s a gallbladder issue. Started taking bile salts and rowachol which dramatically decreased the bloating and only had off/on discomfort. I’ve now been taking this product for about two weeks and no longer need bile salt and the discomfort is 99% gone. Lifesaver product for the gallbladder, at least for me without the negative side effects of taking bile salt since I still have my gallbladder.

If you are having issues with your gallbladder or have had it removed, you must take this product to clean your bile. Usually, that is what is wrong in the first place. Trust me, this product saved my life after surgery. The GI doctors had nothing to give me that would stop my issues. I was losing weight and couldn't eat anything. Please trust this company. They know what they are doing. !

Anytime I have issues with my gallbladder I just start taking 2 tablets 3 times a day and it goes away. If its bad, I take 6 at once and if I have a headache I add some apple cider vinegar and all is well within hours. This is something you want to have around all the time.
