I bought a few bottles once I started my winny cycle. I've been off for weeks, but since I've been known to imbibe on alcohol on many occasions, I still take 3 tabs daily. I feel MUCH better and no longer get those nasty lower back pumps either!

First you have to realize that this is a bias written article by a major MD website. Most MD's don't and won't recommmend vitamins and supplements b/c

1.) they are cheap and obtainable and keep patients from coming in to get a prescription. (less money for the doctors).

2.) Pharmaceutical companies lose out on money as well if more people look to more natural forms of medical treatments.

This is the sad reality of the pharmaceutical business. Just because something isn't regulated doesn't mean it won't work. Scientific evidence tells the truth. Just my 2 cents.
