Comment:
severe muscle cramps, moderate bone loss in less than 6 months of use, severe GI problems, weight loss, stomach bleeding, anemia. may be great for some, but if you have any allergies or any kind of stomach sensitivity, WATCH OUT! had to stop after one year, side effects worse than disease.
