"Hi Lloyd, Nice to hear from you. I notice that I am not short of breath now that I have been taking the carao, and I have more energy. Thank you so much! I have not had my blood re-tested, so I don't know what the hemoglobin levels are, but I do feel better! ... I am glad that you have this product available. I don't find that it is unpleasant in taste at all either. It reminds me of molasses." Darla (Hawaii)
