I have Crohn's and have suffered debilitating fatigue for the past two years. After giving up sugar, alcohol, chocolate and coffee and taking probiotics, I was experiencing a very slow recovery. Starting taking Protefood and experienced immediate improvement in energy levels. Miraculous I would say. Have no idea why this has helped so much, but absolutely no side effects. Plan on taking this forever. Thank you Standard Process. You saved my life.
