I have a significant regard for Asian medicine, and so much of it seems to work. I have had good luck with other health boosting supplements, and this one is probably no different... it is just more difficult to know the result. These have a mostly neutral flavour as long as you do not chew them. I guess the only obvious drawback is the cost of this Japanese-made supplement... as it is about 2.33USD per daily dose... so it leaves me wondering about its value.<br /><br />I am rating it two stars, as it is expensive and much more difficult to determine benefit at home than with other supplements. If it were more affordable and easier to notice health improvements, it might deserve three or four stars. As always, your mileage and preferences may vary...

Being someone who has had liver damage in the past, I'm always on the lookout for products that will help keep my liver nice and healthy. I was about to pass on these because I don't much like reviewing products that are free to me, but very expensive for others to purchase. However, after I read the ingredients I was sold. These little brown balls contain some very healthful ingredients and the one I saw for liver health was Milk Thistle Seed Extract (80%). I've been taking a lesser amount of milk thistle for several months and see that this is a higher amount. Plus, the other ingredients are extremely good for health and I will assume for liver health as well. NOTE: Although it says these balls are chewable - DON'T CHEW THEM. They taste pretty bad. They are so small that they can easily be swallowed whole. The balls don't look anything like those two black blobs on the front of the box, but are small, BB sized, brown balls, of which there are 4 per pack. The box is loaded with packs - 60, so though this product does seem kind of pricey (as of this review it costs $139.00) I think it might be worth it.

There's lots of nutrition packed in these balls and they go down easy.<br />>>> Though the Amazon page mentions 'chew-able' that seems to be there for no real reason.<br />>>> Stated on the box - directions for use = 'take one packet once a day'.<br />Nothing is mentioned about chewing them, so there's no worry about how they taste.<br /><br />This is 481 mg combination of 8 super foods and herbs targeted to support the liver -<br />good health and vitality in general.<br /><br />There's no mention of with / without food.<br />I've taken these both ways and they haven't upset my stomach - no belching<br />nor problems with irritating bowls.<br />All the ingredients can be pricey if there a good quality so I'm not surprised at the cost.<br /><br />The packs have a small split on the edge that makes them easy to open.<br />The serving is one packet daily which contains 4 balls that are only 1/4" diameter<br />and easy to swallow.<br />The box contains 60 packs = 2 months supply.<br /><br />Fresh date February 2024

As I age I've been keeping a closer eye on my liver function. My doc once told me that a healthy liver is a key to vitality in the senior years. The list of ingredients in these balls is exactly what is listed in the healthy living pamphlet in my doctor's office. Corbicula extract, Turmeric, Silymarin, Propolis, Broccoli, Zinc, Oyster, and L-Ornithine. I can promise you they taste terrible. I am also set aback at the sticker shock. But, at my age I guess it's a trade off - a healthy lever is worth is.

Not worth it.
