![]()
Have you ever felt that uneasy feeling of bloating, gas, abdominal cramping, and diarrhea after eating or drinking dairy products? You are part of the large group of people that are Lactose intolerant.

What Supplements Should I Take?
![]()
To swallow supplements and expect a different result than we already have failed to obtain from swallowing our foods is considered insanity. Hence the better alternative may be supplements that can be absorbed directly under the tongue with cleaner production methods and faster absorption independent of the need to be swallowed or absorbed through the intestinal tract.
