on the bottle were a little more clear! Now in thinking about it
taking one per meal would make more sense. :) I am wondering though-
maybe I'm mildly allergic to clams and the GX made it more intense,
because everything I've read my symptoms were a true allergic reaction
(sweating, increased heart rate, throat swelling, eyes swelling,
itching, hives turned to a rash, etc). I think I'll back down to one
capsule a day and see what happens.
