Puts me to sleep and staves off night-time Heartburn effectively. I am not a doctor and this is an anecdotal report. Coupled with a Vitamin K1/K2 supplement regimen, my osteoarthritic knees are practically pain free. I have lost twenty pounds because I am mobile again and can walk, not hobble. Even my wife is happy because I can work around the property, I look better, and the cessation of pain has improved my attitude and outlook on life
