"I like taking 1 of these after lunch when I need more pep. However, they are very strong, and I find that taken with a little Diet Coke or tea, I get too much pep. I like to drink some coke or tea, rather than plain water, so they could be a little less strong. Maybe make half-strength versions, so one can chose 1 or 2 to take? That would be better. I still like them,and I will buy more, but I'd prefer a little less strong, maybe 3/4 strength if 1 capsul is the only option."

"I've found NSI's products to be as good or better than the more expensive brand names I started with, including CortiMin. It originally helped me get through a particularly stressful few years in my life. Not only do I continue to use it but I've also recommended it to at least 10 others who've enjoyed the same success with it, including my son who was special forces in Iraq at the time."
