I've been working with improving my digestion, which has required a fairly involved process of soaking and boiling tea to bring to work with me daily. Some of the same ingredients are in Total Restore, so I have been using Total Restore when I don't have the ability to make the tea (travel, schedule, etc.). It seems to be working well on helping to provide some balance. I can't speak to consistent use, and the nuances for what people are working within their bodies, but the ingredients are helpful for me. It's nice to have something that I don't have to make into a tea, and yet, I think sipping the tea may work better for continuously releasing some of the effects of the ingredients throughout the day.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
