Right down my alley as something to try. I wonder whether or not I can get it at my local naturals store ... Will have to ask them the next time I'm down there.

@cambridgeport90 you can use this link to buy it, i have tried it myself and its really good: https://amzn.to/2mWXMDj

So, theoretically, I could add it to my morning routine along with my vitamin, right?

@cambridgeport90 yes that's right, but don't have it empty stomach you can have it after breakfast and start with one capsule and see how your body is reacting to it.

Gradually you can increase it from 1 to 2 capsules per day.

Darn. Good call. I do that all the time with my vitamin, and I end up paying for it later.
