Too much packaging

The product I ordered was great, but I couldn’t believe that they package that one little box of pills and a box that was almost one cubic foot. And the second items I received (multivitamins) were in a similarly huge and mostly empty box. Please try less packaging!

Works well but too BIG

Good product and works well but as Horrific stated, IT'S TOO BIG! My husband is 84 and has great difficulty swelling your monster pill. Why can't it be made two pills like many other needing to be large doses in pill form separated into two?

Side Effects

Works WELL . HOWEVER. I always have a nasty side effect of sulfur smelling urine. So much so, that I won't take this medicine if I know I'm going to be around people.
