My wife and I have been using A*******e for about 6 years and vouch for its effectiveness. My 95 year old mother, who is very skeptical of pills, also swears by A*******e. Believe me, Mom would not call us for more if it had no effect. We also give it to our dog, who at 12 years old is still as active as a puppy. The dosage varies from individual to individual, but we take two pills each a day. When a cold or flu is coming on we take as many as 12 a day. There is no burst of energy, but a general feeling of good health, less colds and shorter periods til recovery. Re our dog: when we are away and she is not given A*******e we come home to a normal old dog. I have been urged to act as distributors and make money off this product, but have steadfastly refused. I want all my friends to use it without question as to my motive, beyond my friendship and concern for their health.
