To be honest, I used to work with a company that sold adaptogens, which are herbs that help the body's cells adapt to stressors. When I first started with them their products were quite effective but over the course of a year they got weaker and weaker. The problem is that those companies don't have anybody looking over their shoulders to make sure that they are always making things like they say they are. With me they really stressed not saying anything to customers that might get the FDA to notice them, saying that it would increase the cost, but now I know that it was because they didn't want anybody to know they were being ripped off.

Sad but true,
Diane

Generally, I already suspected that what you said. It is most probably crucial problem with supplements. We never know how much  of active ingredients are really present in supplements. It means that they might be even empty , like placebo. Isn't it?
Thank you for honest answer ....

If it truly helps the health of the liver, it can't hurt. It won't stop the virus. The potent drugs we have to take can't kill it very fast... it took me 48 weeks, so no herbal formula is going to be able to kill it. Their claim of being able to stop the destruction of liver cells is unfounded.

If you want to spend your money on it, at least get a list of the ingredients and have your doctor take a look at them to make sure none of them are toxic to your liver.
