I was advised to take this product by a nutritionist when I displayed signs of parasites in the gut. I had to start on one a day, steadily increasing until the desired effect (don't wish to say on here). Stay at this dose for 7 days then start to decrease until reaching a suitable level to have regular bowel movements. This took about 5 to 6 weeks and the effect on my well being was remarkable. I felt healthier, cleansed and the "brain fog" I was suffering from completely disappeared. I believe it has lots of benefits but this is what I used it for and it was completely effective.
