  • I feel like the Green Coffee Bean Extract isn't necessarily meant to be the end all, be all to lose the weight. I think it is supposed to rev up your energy level to give you that extra boost to help you work out.
  • I take 40 mg of omeprazole every morning which is the generic for prilosec prescription. My pulmonologist has me on it daily to help control my asthma and because I have a hiatal hernia. I have noticed that the more weight I lose, the less acid reflux problems I have been experiencing. That is motivation for me because it…

You dont need much of any of those ingredients because the flavors go a long way.
