Share Original “Defence Edition” Sample Bag 2x Share Pomelozzini - fermented pomelo (grapefruit) tastes deliciously sweet and sour, vegan, lactose-free | ShareSwiss fermented

They came well packaged, but at the price, I was very surprised to find only three tiny little packages. Naturally, I assumed that a small package must be a dosage, and ate one right away. Let me start by saying it was not unpleasant, the taste was like pomelo, but sweeter, and a lot more intense. They were fairly hard, but certainly easy enough to bite into and chew. So far, so good... However... 30 minutes later I felt like there were no problems and maybe I should enjoy another one. Finally, before going to bed a while later, I decided that leaving one would be a sin; it might get lost or forgotten, so I ate the last one.There was no guidance, no leaflet telling me what their purpose was; after eating the first one, I perused their website and still had no real idea why they were so expensive. Until hours after eating them all, then I realized. And it was too late to do anything about it at this point.If you have ever had a colonoscopy you will have an idea of what these little nuggets can do to you, but add in a little stomach pain to the mix. Maybe it was self-induced, but maybe they should contain a warning label to not consume them all in one go.I can honestly say that the gum I ate as a child, some 40 years ago, that must have got stuck inside somewhere has now finally cleared my system. In fact, everything that was anywhere in me has now cleared my system. And I mean everything. Strangely, 30 minutes later, I think my next few meals also came out before I even ate them, because there simply couldn't have been anything left after the first ordeal. I don't think I will be repeating this experiment anytime soon, a strong lesson has been learned.Are they worth the high cost? That depends. Colonoscopy coming up soon? Take three of these; it is far easier than trying to drink a gallon of foul-tasting liquid and works far better as well. Have you been a little bound up for the last few weeks? These will solve the problem for you. Otherwise, well, I guess it is a choice only you can make. But, whatever you do, DON'T EAT THREE AT ONCE!!!!!To the manufacturer, consider some details about the product. It was lovely to read about the process of making them, the history behind them, etc. But maybe include a little guidance about their intended usage as well as some dosage pointers; not everyone would live through what I experienced; I even saw a few previous lives flash by, I think...

Works great

I have never tried, or even heard of, cultured fermented grapefruit, but as I am always looking for a good source for probiotics I decided to give it a try. It is an easy way to get your daily dose. Each ball is small (about the size of a chocolate truffle) and easy to ingest. It does taste pleasantly of grapefruit, with a slight sweetness and slight tanginess, but not nearly as sour as the fruit in its fresh form. It also leaves a pleasant grapefruit aftertaste and "zingy" mouthfeel that tastes like fresh fruit. The texture is slightly dry and chewy, like a piece of fudge but on the dry side. The product is expensive, but so are other natural probiotics on the market. A quite interesting product if you don't mind the price.Update: I guess I misunderstood what this product was all about. I thought it was a probiotic, and while it is certainly for your gut, the effect is more like Drano on your system. I was pretty miserable for the better part of one day and didn't leave the house for fear of. . .well, you know. And that was from consuming just one piece. The product description should be more clear on what this is for. I misunderstood. Others may, too.

The Share Pomelozzini Cultured Fermented Pomelo may be a healthy snack, but it was not for me. These little balls arrived and were very very difficult to eat. The little balls are hard, difficult to bite, and taste bad. While I understand that these are for health benefit purposes, there are other ways to get healthy probiotics in my system outside of three tiny macadamia nut-sized balls of woe. Overall, this was something I couldn't both finishing and wouldn't get again.

The Share Pomelozzini® - cultured fermented Pomelo comes in a little pouch.Per updated information on the seller's page, it is best to start with a small piece (not whole), to consume after lunch or before bedtime with 1-2 cups of warm water.The fermented fruit is a small hard ball. Even with a kitchen serrated knife, slicing a piece off takes a bit of effort.It has the odor and taste of preserved fruit, herbs, and citrus peel.When it is a thin slice/small piece, it is not that difficult to eat and chew.Since only a small piece was taken, did not experience a dramatic significant effect, but a fair good probability that taking a larger piece with water will. It is a bit expensive at the current review, however, for people that prefer more natural remedies for help in removing body waste, it presents an interesting alternative.Since it is recommended to eat in smaller pieces, wish that the seller would include resealable packaging or have the portion of the pieces already cut.
