Hi Lloyd- Thank you for writing. The carao worked great for Suzanne!!! She just had surgery about 2 weeks ago to remove polyps from her uterus----the reason for the blood loss and anemia. Basically, the carao and other regimen was simply a "band-aid" until the cause was discovered and alleviated. Initially, she took the carao as prescribed (difficult to ingest), and then slowly ceased. She has a small amount left and plans to take it to boost her system back up now that the surgery is complete. Thank you for this amazing product! S.O. Virginia 8/2006
