I’ve been using these tablets for 4 years now as recommended by my past acupuncturist for the stress sores in my mouth. My sores come from chewing my tongue and cheek. They got so bad I could barely swallow. I take two everyday I have a sore and one a day for maintenance and they work beautifully. I cannot live without these.

I read that this product helps you to absorb calcium. I've been taking Standard Process Cataplex F, Calcifood Wafers, and Calcium Lactate for several months, and they have helped me tremendously! I was having terrible back pain and weak, splitting nails. After a few weeks, I really noticed the difference--back pain is pretty much gone and nails are growing in strong and much smoother. I was also having excruciating leg cramps many nights, and they have completely disappeared!

I have been using this stuff for a few years now and I swear by its worth. I am proned to leg cramps upon waking those; awful cramps that curl your legs and bend your toes under 'til you are crying in excruciating pain. Well, voila, this stuff is nothing short of a miracle. I personally don't like the taste but tollerate chewing at least three of them because it is way better than the PAIN I get from those pesky cramps.
