I did pretty good with the 1st 4 weeks of pills cut down from 2 1/2 packs a day to under 1 but do to all the goings on in the family & Stress I never picked up the 2nd set of pills (STUPID ME!) and back to 2 packs a day Im going to try again though My advice DO IT!!! they do work!! not right away but you will notice the difference within a couple weeks so like I said Do It!! it will save ya alot of $$$$ down the road!
