Caused Massive Acid Reflux
I took this as directed every day for over three years. I took it because my mother thought it might help my chronic migraines. I never noticed anything good or bad about taking it. It seemed to make little difference on my migraines or my general health, but my mother asked me to continue, so I did.
In early December I did a review of all my supplements to see if any should be changed or dropped or if I should continue taking them. I went through dozens of reviews for each supplement on multiple websites. I happened across one review for the Balance of Nature saying it caused them massive heart burn. One thing that has bothered me in the last few years was a serious increase in heart burn, acid reflux. It was taking a toll on my quality of life and required a huge change in diet, which had almost zero effect on the heart burn. After reading the review where the person mentioned their own heart burn, I decided to take a month off of the BN. Within a few days my life was already better. I've been off BN for exactly three months and I don't even think about heart burn. I eat what makes me happy again. My improved digestion and quality of life are the only differences I've noticed since abandoning BN; there's been no difference in my migraines, nor my energy levels.
If this works for you, then bless you, but if you've noticed an increase of digestive issues, please consider taking a break from this extraordinarily expensive supplement.
