People, do you know that the pharmaceutical labs study the phytochemicals in foods and herbs? That they then isolate them, that's the "active ingredients" listed in Latin on the label.

Then they throw in a few acidic compounds so #1. they can patent it, #2. get it to hold together in a pill form or make it look like it's enough to DO SOMETHING.
You AB SO LUTE LY can get those same phytochemicals from food, especially raw food. AND it would work better because all the stuff that makes it work in the body is already available from that same food source!
