Coating would not digest

I've used Triphala for 28 years. Planetary Herbs brand is quite good, but when it was out of stock I tried this NOW formula for a week. Every dose I took exited without any digestion of the coating... the tablets came out whole. Once in a while I've experienced this with an enteric-coated product, but I was very surprised to have this experience with Triphala tablets. I contacted NOW Foods with the contact form on their website, but I never heard back from them. (There are other NOW products that we like & are a good value.)

Formula 107 used to be Kyolic's Red Rice Yeast formula. Now they have removed the red rice yeast and substituted phytosterols. I called Kyolic to find out why. They told me the FDA is starting to look at red rice yeast as having the same properties as statin drugs, so to protect themselves they dropped the red rice yeast.

I really like these. I take them after a hard workout and feel great (no problem to take on an empty stomach). Great company. Too bad they discontinued the bulk powder version of this product; that was the best!

My whole family likes them. I take 2 every day as a healing stool softener. My son likes to take them when he's a little constipated. The little boy across the street likes to chew on them when he's constipated. His parents took a bottle from us once when he was totally plugged up during toilet training; it worked.

I've used these for a couple of years & so has a discriminating friend of mine. It's a good complete formula, from "whole foods" so they digest easily with meals or an an empty stomach (and I have a pretty sensitive stomach).

We can hardly get enough of this milk

Tastes very fresh, mixes easily, we find we can use it for anything we would otherwise use fresh milk or cream for, and we don't have the concern of fresh milk spoiling if we don't use it in time.

Great value in a green superfood

This large size is a good value, with an amazing ingredient list (mostly certified organic), with lots of enzymes and probiotic. Taste is quite tolerable. We keep it in the freezer (can be kept in fridge too).

FutureBiotics, Colon Green, 150 Capsules

Best psyllium/fiber product for us

Posted on Sep 21, 2009

Purchased at iHerb

Over the past 30 years I've tried probably 100 different fiber products (my colon was ravaged by years of travel in 3rd world countries). I like to rotate products, but this one consistently comes out on top in terms of effectiveness, balance, and being able to take it frequently without unwanted effects. Now my wife, who's gone through a bout of digestive issues, has also taken to it, impressed that it's helping (and she is not usually one to favor supplements like this).

Artisana, Cashini Butter, Peanut Butter Replacement, 16 oz (454 g)

It doesn't replace peanut butter for us!

The ingredients are probably good, but the claim that this product tastes anything like peanut butter is silly. We don't see the point of this mixture.
