The truth is the Activated Phenolics powder has been a game-changer for me. I have a chronic back problem which at times gives me great discomfort. Since I started using the powder daily 8 months ago the pain has dramatically changed with far fewer debilitating episodes. When I do have some pain I also take a daily Apple tablet and it certainly helps as well. I have also been using the face cream and cleanser which I'm happy with as well. I will say the anti-inflammatory properties of this natural product have made a difference to my quality of life. I'm particularly pleased with the fact that it's all-natural and no chemicals. I certainly recommend and I know I'll be a user forever .
