Source Naturals Fibro-Response Bio-Aligned Malic Acid & MSM,180 Tablets

I'm on day five of taking Fibro Response and so far, it's really been helping. I've had more energy and less pain. About day two I started to notice that shooting fibro pain start to diminish. On the third day, I had one spell of fibro pain in my left leg that lasted about 30 minutes and then disappeared. It was nothing if a reminder of how my entire body felt three days before. I have been feeling better and better with everyday that I take this. I will give more updates as more time goes by, but I am feeling really positive about it. Lyrica barely helped me and gave me serious side effects like stomach cramping.To address some of the concerns and complaints that others had mentioned:One person talked about the pill burning when they had a bowel movement. I haven't had this side effect but it does burn when I urinate. HOWEVER, I will note, that I have recently had urinary tract problems (infection, stones, etc...) and that I think the burning from the Fibro Response is definitely because of preexisting damage from urinary tract issues. So, if I were you, I wouldn't not try this product out of fear of it burning during a bowel movement or urinating. If anything, this tells me that the person complaining of the pain during a bowel movement might need to get that checked out to see if there's anything else going on. Also, I will note, that the burning isn't anything major. It's not something that affects my quality of life as it has just happens when I urinate. I assume that as my urinary tract heals from the recent damage, that the burning will reside.There have also been several concerns addressed about the size and bad taste of the pills. Yes, they are big...but it isn't something that will deter me from getting relief. If you are seriously in pain from fibromyalgia, please don't give up just because the pills are hard to swallow. I cut them into three segments and that made it much easier. I take them with cranberry juice or just tap water without ice and that seems to help because I like cranberry juice. I don't like just plain tap water without ice, BUT I did find it easier to swallow the pills that way than with ice water. Also, don't psyche yourself out about all of the reviews about how hard they are to swallow. Cut them into manageable pieces and don't worry about swallowing them. If you're worried about it, it's going to be harder for you to swallow them. Just don't think about it and take the manageable pieces like you would any pill. The first few days it was really hard to swallow...but once I stopped worrying about it and just did it without thinking about it, the process went just fine. It's a bit daunting to take three big horse pills every morning, but it's not something that should steer you away from finding relief.As for the taste, I have taken pills that tasted MUCH worse. These pills have somewhat of a salty and mustardy taste to them, but it's nothing that made me gag or cringe. The pills I've taken for heartburn taste wayyyyyyy worse than these pills. I also wouldn't let the taste scare you away from them.In summation:The burning during urination doesn't affect my quality of life.The task of swallowing huge horse pills doesn't affect my quality of life.The taste of the pills doesn't affect my quality of life.However, fibromyalgia DOES affect my quality of life, and since I've been taking Fibro Response my quality of life is 90% better!!!Very happy with this product and would definitely recommend!!!UPDATE (9/17/2013):The burning during urination stopped about week two of taking the product and has not returned. So, I think that theroblem was unrelated to the product...and possibly that...the product helped to correct the problem.Also, I have discovered that it's actually easier to take the pills, whole, with an ample drink of water. It actually hurts less and goes down easier when the pills are not cut into segments. I am a petite woman and if I can swallow the pills whole, anyone can. They don't scratch your throat when they are left whole and it's actually no more difficult than swallowing an average sized bite of food. Just don't let the reviews psych you out about swallowing the pills the way I let them psych me out. Just make sure you take a big drink of water with each pill and you will be just fine.I hope this review is helpful.

I have Fibromialgia (diagnosed in 1985). Back then, Doctors did little for the pain except antidepressants! I'm still not sure I understand that, but many have had the same experience. After much research on my own I learned about the wonderful benefits of Malic Acid. I've used Malic Acid for over 20 years to ease the pain of the Fibro and later it also helped with the added pain of Multiple Sclerosis diagnosed in 1998 (but it's been suggested that it probably should also have been diagnosed back in '85). In 2005 we relocated to an area of Texas that apparently doesn't know about the benefits of Malic Acid. I tried a wide variety of home owned and national chains, none of which carried anything with any significant amount of Malic Acid in it. I continued my search. I live in a town of 600. I was reaching out to many of the area businesses in the towns near me. Combine those issues with a confusing NEW diagnosis of CANCER a year or so ago, and I forgot my search for Malic Acid until recently. All of the above gave me a pass on shopping out in the public for Christmas 2010. On a whim, I decided to search Amazon.com for Malic Acid. What to my wondering eyes did I find....? It wasn't eight shining reindeer. Instead it was a very high quality version of Malic Acid called Source Naturals Fibro Response. After taking it for a couple of days, I notice the difference already. The pain in between my shoulders, my shins and my forearms has already lessened. I'm so glad to have found this product, and had the faith to purchase 60-90 day supply. I highly recommend this product to you if you are looking for Malic Acid supplamentation to your regimen for pain control. If Malic Acid has helped you in anyway, than this product is for you. Don't wait, order today. The quality is excellent, the price very manageable for what you are recieveing. Thank you Amazon.com for providing what ALL the so called Vitamin Shoppe's, Natural Food Stores, and GNC's in 3 area towns with populations in excess of 50,000 couldn't.... Malic Acid. I am restored. Thank you.

Fibro-Response saved my life!I was diagnosed with FM about 6 years ago. At one point I couldn't type on a computer or walk through the grocery store without crying in pain. I've tried all the prescriptions the doctors recommend and they only numbed my brain and made the pain a tiny less sharp. Relentlessly I found that Malic Acid significantly helped FM so I started taking Malic Acid and Magnesium supplements and noticed that I felt better. But the combination and dosing was difficult. So I discovered Fibro-Response and it saved my life. I now have almost zero FM pain and take four every morning with a meal religiously. I know for a fact it is still working as the days I forget, my body will remind me by around 5pm with the onset of FM symptoms. The pills are big but over time you get used to it. I can swallow all four Fibro-Response pills in one gulp with water -- although I wouldn't recommend unless you know you won't choke on them. My point is, it is manageable and even if it takes you an hour to get them down it is much less a problem them the slow death of FM. I was able to start exercising with cardio and weights after starting Fibro-Response and have grown much stronger which I am sure also helps with the FM symptoms. I have gone from unable to walk more than a block to now running half marathons. I recommended to my sister and my aunt who didn't even have a FM diagnosis and they both call it a miracle. I learned that whatever it does may not work for everyone as there are a few conditions that are labeled FM and no one really knows. BUT I GUARANTEE IT SAVED MY LIFE. It is worth trying. Your health and happiness are worth the try. Don't let the negative reviews discourage you. It could be the best decision you ever made. SERIOUSLY
