Always in my bag
I always keep a bottle of these in my bag. I took some of these, drank a big glass of water and I'm trying to relax a bit and I was a lot better and I could actually enjoy my day. These pills are easy to swallow and they work wonderful. They also never upset my stomach, which is a big plus for me. It is really such a helpful product to have around

Unfortunately, I ordered the white caplets. I meant to order the red and blue soft gels. The caplets are harder for me to swallow

Good for headaches and cramps
Very good for headaches and period cramps. Super effective. I always have some on hand for myself or for family and friends. I can't say it helps for common colds, but it helps aches in general.
