Waste of $: The Amino Acid formula is worthless. It is not indicated or helpful for any known medical condition. Amino acids are protein building blocks, which will be broken down for calories like anything else you eat. Try food instead, it's cheaper, healthier and tastes better. -- and is less toxic. Don't get your medical information from friends, tv or the internet.
