“I knew there was a problem when I was popping steady and it was smelling of chemicals! Like sanitiser! Or Alum or something!

“I stopped the first one. Poo ceased. The second one, no issues. I bought a small bottle and it was worse! This one came with ab discomfort, acid reflux and yes watery poo.

“With that same chemical/alum aroma. So now, I can only vouch for 1 brand that’s currently safe to consume. Smh. Who checks the standards of these things we put in our bodies self?! Ehn? Reputable brands like these causing harm! Who even knows the effects on our organs? I’m tired.”
