I was recently talking with a friend and she was telling me that she was taking iodine tablets and liking the results that she was receiving from them. My concern for her was that these tablets are chemically based and I didn't want her to suffer any side effects that may result.  I was thinking up an herbal formula that may assist her naturally rather than chemically, when I was reminded of how complete and wonderful Dr. Christopher's Vitalerbs formula is. It contains just the right blend of vitamins and minerals that are easy to assimilate.
