I love Standard Process, and believe in the power of Whole Food Vitamins!! I have been taking Cataplex B along with Catalyn daily for almost 2 years now, and notice a significant difference in the way I felt. It took about 6 months of taking the vitamins daily to get the full effects, but they made a huge difference for me! If I miss a couple days in a row, especially of the B complex, I can feel it!
