So..........now I'm wondering, apart from many other issues, how does this

affect our absorption of various supplements?

If,

a) as has been mentioned on the list previously, fiber " sweeps " everything

out of the intestines, and is therefore not recommended 2b taken at the same

time as supplements bcuz they might get " swept out " b4 they have a chance 2b

absorbed, and if

supplements are 2b taken with food to maximize absorption, and if

c) you take these zetacaps right b4 eating a meal, then

how would one schedule supplements if using this product?

Personally, with a little tiny pouch that my insurance paid a lot of

money for and that I work hard to preserve, I wouldn't touch this

product with a 10-foot pole. If two capsules and 8 ounces of water

stretch the stomach of a normal person to a feeling of fullness, I

suspect that they could pop my staple line completely!

As with all absorption limiters, if you had to use this product, I'd

follow the two-hour rule. That seems the easiest for me to remember and

it's probably usually accurate.

If anyone gets brave and ponies up the money to try this Zetacap

product, it would be interesting to hear your review of it here. The

closest I've gotten to a weight-loss aid since surgery was Relora, which

did seem to help me with carb craving. If you gave me sugar tablets

(and/or made me pay a lot of money for them) and told me that they would

reduce my carb cravings, I bet they would, because my carb problem is

mostly in my BRAIN, not in my biochemistry, so I don't think my

anecdotal experience is worth much here.
