Pure Encapsulations Garlic Complex 120 caps

Garlic is so good for you, but although I alike fresh garlic the taste would linger. Did not like that aspect of the fresh so have been very pleased with this product.

I like this product because it leaves No smelly garlic breath or body odor with tremendous health benefits. I used to eat a clove of garlic a day until a friend kindly told me of my pungent garlic breath and odor. I switched to the pure Garlic Complex and I can confidently go to work knowing that I do not smell anymore and am still getting the health benefits of garlic.

I don't want to "tout" Horse Chestnut as the next Miracle drug for Spider/Varicose Veins,however, I want to "shout at the top of my lungs" about what this little capsule has done to clear up the problem I've had over the past year with Spider Veins. The job I do as Customer Service requires that I'm sitting for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week with very limited movement in between calls and I believe this has exacerbated the problem I have with developing Spider veins. I seem to be prone to this condition (started developing these over 30 yrs ago during my 1st pregnancy)but believe extended sitting and age has increased the problem. I went to see a Vascular surgeon for information on Sclerotherapy and was told it would cost over $4000 to be treated and then no guarantee the spider veins wouldn't come back so, I started researching natural remedies and stumbled upon information regarding Horse Chestnut. I started taking this product about 2 mos ago and had no real expectations that I would see any improvement,however, to my delight and surprise,those horrible veins around my ankles and alongside my calves started getting lighter and lighter. I will be ordering not 1 but 2 bottles next time. I don't know the long term use of this product but so far haven't noticed any side effects. I love love love it!!! /Natures-Way-Standardized-Horse-Chestnut-Extract-90-Capsules/dp/B0002MSSGE/ Natures Way Standardized Horse Chestnut Extract 90 Capsules

This rating is for the Horse Chestnut Cream AND the supplement. I had to give a star rating for each, and thought I'd give it a 4 to start, and work my way from there. I plan on updating as I use the product. **Horse Chestnut Cream: Started on 7/3/13, is a deep taupe, thick yet smooth consistency, smell is medicinal like a Bengay type of smell. It's not a repulsive smell and the scent began to fade after about 20 minutes or so. Scent eventually was completely gone. It gave a cooling feel when applied to the varicose veins on my lower legs, (calves, shins, behind knees). **Horse Chestnut supplement by Nature's Way: started on 7/1/13. Taking 1 pill, 2xd, with food. No tummy upset. 7/15/13 - No noted changes. Been faithful with both the cream and the supplement. 7/21/13 - Slightly less bulging of the varicose veins and they don't seem to pop out as often. It's a very slight difference but something is better than nothing. The trial continues. I'd like to completely finish the bottle of Horse Chestnut AND the Horse Chestnut Cream. The cream is tedious to keep up with and I can see how easy it could be to "forget" or "pass". I'm not quitting and will remain faithful to it. I keep it with my toothbrush since I'm there every morning and night. It insures I won't forget to apply. 8/2/13 - Soon to be finishing up the first bottle. I've noticed that the veins aren't as dark in color, &thought they still protrude on & off throughout the day, it's not quite as much, AND easier to go back in! I will not be stopping the supplements, but am beginning to question my need for the cream. In all fairness, I will finish the full container of the cream before making the decision whether or not to buy again. I will be staying on the supplement as my gut is telling me, that this is what's really helping. I suspect that the cream would be if I had discomfort in areas, (in which I do not). 9/21/13 - In the past three weeks, I've been less consistent with the CREAM and when I saw that there wasn't a change in the appearance of color and size of the veins, it helped me see the cream alone wasn't causing the improvements. It may be that the pills I'm taking are the cause of the improvements! Maybe this cream will be helpful if you have pain, but since I haven't any pain, I am opting not to purchase the cream again. I will remain on the pills.
