I'm a diabetic. I started taking the actual roots when a friend told me about sea moss, BLADDERWRACK and BURDOCK ROOT. That in itself felt awesome an I could feel the effects. When I noticed the Pills online, I thought well...all the same stuff in a pill form! Easier to take. Since day one of taking them for over half a year now, I have not stopped. I'm actually a bit flustered with USPS for waiting on an order that they're late with. Lol. Fantastic stuff. Stronger bones, mind and spirit connect...
