1st dose of SPEAK Re: pharma omega SPEAK

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the great information. I placed my first order this

evening and can't wait until it arrives and we can try it out. My

daughter has never been a great responder to the oils, and she is

showing high oxidation to fatty acids at the present, so I am hoping

that we have finally found our magic dosing. Will post back results

if I see any.

Thanks again

Jaclyn
