Wasn't too terribly impressed, I finally got a genetic test for the efficacy of medications we take. It changed everything. I was able to get off 2 medications and got soemthing that acually helps break down the medications I take. It's all very genetic-y, so I can't explain it too well, it's a minute piece of folic acid that helps break down the necessary meds and absorb what we take.

It's called L-Methylolate.
