Standard Process Inc.A-F Betafood - Gluten-Free Liver Support, Cholesterol Metabolism, and Gallbladder Support Supplement with Vitamin A, Iodine, Vitamin B6-180 Tablets

This is a great product for someone with digestive problems related to lack of sufficient bile production, as I have been. Forgive me, but discussion of this topic must, by its nature, be a little less than genteel. So here goes. My natural pharmacist diagnosed the root cause of my health problems as the inability of my digestive system (liver, duodenum, etc.) to release bile when needed. He explained that bile is fundamental to the digestive process. The bile mixes with the food in your stomach to create a kind of "slurry" as preparation for the food's journey through the large and small intestines. As this "slurry" travels through the intestines, it releases nutrients to the body through the walls of the intestines; it also receives toxins from the body through the intestine walls for elimination from the body. If it's not working properly, many, many health problems arise over time, as happened to me. For the supplement to be effective, my pharmacist advised me to drink lots and lots of water with it (not other liquids, just water.) This is very important. Occasionally when I've not remembered to drink enough water, the supplement lost significant effectiveness. Interestingly, with my disorder, without this supplement, it doesn't matter how much water I drink, I am still constipated for days and days on end and sometimes for a week or more. I tried everything to treat this constipation. Nothing ever "really" worked. Now, for the first time in my life, using A-F Betafood supplementation, my digestion runs like a smooth, well-oiled machine. I am much healthier now, and I feel lighter, more energetic, and have less bulk around my middle. Friends and family tell me I look better, too. I continue to eat very healthy, as I always have, with lots of vegetables, fruit, proteins, natural grains, and minimal amounts of processed foods. For me personally, this product has been a "miracle" product. Unfortunately, no medical doctor was ever able to help me with this problem, each one saying, in essence, that people all have different elimination habits and I shouldn't worry about it ... i.e., live with it. It took a natural heath practitioner to uncover the root problem and then prescribe something to make me well. A-F Betafood has truly rejuvenated my life. I am so grateful! I expect I will now have more years of vibrant good health to enjoy my 10 grandchildren!

Works very well for gall bladder issues.

This product is impressive. I found out my gall bladder was not performing up to par when my doctor requested a hidascan. He referred me to a general surgeon who accepted and made appointment. I went to Pennsylvania to visit in laws and friends since I had lived there fro 15 years. I saw my old chiropractor who was the absolute best. He recommended I get this product and said it really works well. So I tried it but found it caused heartburn when used as directed. So I dropped the amount to 2 at breakfast only. No more heartburn and I'm feeling really great. I take one more during lunch once in a while. I put off the surgery and it is 6 months later and I'm having no problems with my gall bladder. All I can say is it worked for me!

I’ve been taking two of these every day for 3 years. First off- I am a skeptic. This is the only supplement I take. It was recommended by a chiropractor for my insane heartburn and pain in gall bladder after meals. I scoffed at the chiropractor but did what he said because I was DESPERATE. I was on three anti-acids all at once, prescribed by a Dr. It wouldn’t touch my heart burn. This new guy said your gall bladder is slow and can’t process your food fast enough, which causes food to stay in your stomach for longer and then causes reflux. He said to take 3 of these 3x a day for a week to kickstart my gall bladder, it’s a whole food product so he said it won’t harm you at all! Beets are proven to help gall stones and gall bladders but you would have to eat pounds of them daily to have the affect this does. One week down, heartburn gone. Still skeptical. I completed the entire bottle, ran out and was like great I’m cured! Two weeks later heart burn and side ache comes back, bought a new bottle and it’s gone again!! I suffered with this side ache pain for YEARS. I now can skip a week and still be relieved of symptoms. I will take this forever if it keeps this away. If it flares up I will just take extra for a period of time but so far as a supplement it does wonders. Highly recommend

Couple of years back, I was having pain on my right side. I had gone to get some tests done, and they said I needed my gallbladder out. I didn't want that because everyone I knew who had theirs removed had problems. I had told my hairstylist, and she recommended this product. She knew of a couple of ladies who were Mennonites who swore by it.So I tried it. I was shocked because within a week, the pain subsided. It's now been about 2 years, and I am pain-free. I take 2 in the morning before my breakfast and two at lunch. I do I.F., so I stop eating at 2pm. Some places around here you pay more money so Amazon has the best price for this product.
