Standard Process Inc. Cholacol - Gallbladder Support Supplement - Fat Digestion Supplement for Digestive Health & Bile Support - Gluten-Free, Non-Dairy & Non-Soy - 90 Tablets

I have dealt with constipation since I was at least 10 years old. As I got older and life became more stressful, my condition only worsened. I tried everything from teas to yogurt, but nothing truly worked until I gave Cholacol a try after reading a review here.I started taking one pill with meals, but the results were just OK, not impressive. I then raised the dosage to two pills with meals (one after the first bite and one after finishing). I did this purely out of extreme caution to prevent heartburn. Today, six months later, I am so happy with this supplement.I also bought it for my young son. Even though he doesn’t have any digestive issues, he takes them as a helping hand for his body’s digestive system. He is very happy with it and takes it with meals to ensure waste is released properly.My observation is that it is a very gentle supplement, and taking only one pill was not sufficient for me. Give it time, and you won’t regret it.Standard Process was recommended to me years ago by a chiropractor, but he never mentioned Cholacol and didn't pinpoint that my issues were related to my digestive system. I used to buy Standard Process products from various marketplaces, but a few months ago I visited a new chiropractor who suggested I use a practitioner's supplement page.I see many chiropractors and naturopaths have this portal on their websites. Through this service, called Fullscript, all Standard Process supplements are available fresh and at very low prices—unlike some I purchased on third-party sites that arrived with only a two-month expiration date. I noticed constipation is the root cause of many physical issues including not able to lose weight, pain etc with Cholacol I have been able to resolve some of those issues.

Fast delivery for a fair price and is working very well

This product works very well to help me digest fats, relieve some heartburn as I do not have a gallbladder. It also helped me after taking it consistently for 2 month to reduce and then eliminate tak I'll be a prescription acid-reducer that I was on for 18 years. Keto is easier for me now

This is a great supplement, just some whole foods! I highly recommend it. It's easy enough to swallow since it's small, but since it doesn't have some plastic-y shell it doesn't slide the way a capsule does, and you can actually taste it in your mouth so it's sort of bitter, and no wonder since a main ingredient is bile acid. It is really effective! I think it's helped my digestive issues subside!

OKAY I just got these today (gallbladder removed last week and having pain/severe digestive issues) and HAVE NOT TRIED THEM yet, but I want to address the Reviewers complaining of EXPIRED product. This is directly from the Standard Process Website, from their FAQs: Why do tablets sometimes vary in color, taste, and smell? Standard Process does not use any type of artificial flavoring in our products. Therefore, slight differences in color, texture, and smell from batch to batch are the result of using freshly grown raw materials. What does the "Best Used By" date mean? The "Best Used By" information, located on all product boxes and on the neck of all product bottles, represents the date by which the product is best used by and the product code. The "Best Used By" date should not be viewed as an expiration date but as a guideline for when products are considered 100 percent potent. Products tend to lose potency over time but may still be considered effective after this date. Standard Process only guarantees product potency up until the "Best Used By" date. Products are continuously tested to determine their shelf life. This testing has shown that certain products tend to have shorter shelf lives, which is reflected by the "Best Used By" date. In this example, the month and year the product is best used by is July 2014. Product code numbers are used to determine when products are produced. In the example, the product code is L217. L: The lot number 2: This is the last number of the year it was produced (2 = Year 2012) 1: The batch number 7: The month it was produced (7 = July) SURE ENOUGH, the product I received from Amazon DOES have the Best By Date (June 2014) on both the outer box and on the neck of the bottle. It is VERY difficult to see on the bottle, because it is printed in black on a very dark brown glass, but it's there, and it matches the date on the box. Now, the product is not perfectly fresh/just now manufactured, because the lot number indicates that it was produced in May 2012. But the Best Buy date means it is "fresh" and full potency for 22 more months. If I take this product as directed on the bottle, I'll run out in about 2 weeks or sooner. So, check the BOTTLE date for freshness before you assume you are getting an inferior product from this seller. My only complaint thus far is that today, less than 24 hours after my initial order, the price dropped by 40%. That sucks. I will amend this Review to comment on the product performance after I try it a few times. ADDENDUM 9/28/12 Having used the product for three meals in a row, a dinner, a breakfast and a lunch, where I deliberately ingested more fats than normally would have, I find that they do seem to perform as promised; at least, so far so good.
