Reviews
Marina:
I used to give injections, but I can’t give injections myself, and it’s expensive to constantly call a nurse. She received gynecological treatment. Used agave to increase the effectiveness of basic therapy. What attracts the product is its complex action. It helps relieve inflammation, strengthens the immune system, removes toxins, and activates metabolic processes at all levels. Improvements do not come immediately, but they are there, with minimal expenses and without side effects.
Andrey
I drank agave tablets when I was very sick. The colds just bothered me. Before I had time to recover from one illness, I immediately got a runny nose, cough and fever again. When I completed the course with the biostimulator, it immediately became easier. More precisely, not immediately, but after a month of treatment for sure. I started getting sick less often. One course did not work, two months later I was treated again, but the result is now stable. I also strengthen myself and eat more healthy foods. Personally, I prefer aloe tablets because the juice is very bitter.
