Vivarol

[Guest guest]

Hi all. A friend of mine just bought a product called " Vivarol " for

her CFS/FM problems. She says it helps her a little. I'm skeptical -

- it's pretty expensive so I'm leery about trying it, unless I know

for sure it has helped others. Has anyone here been on it?

I copied the ingredient list down from a site. I must admit I have

never heard of a lot of the ingredients before. And no, I am not

affiliated with the company in any way. Please let me know if anyone

has been on it and if it helped any.

Here's the ingredient list:
