  1. It is good to know that Peru and the Amazon region have a great variety of ancient plants with many benefits, the best thing is that they have all their sanitary records to operate and the quality standards are up to date.

  2. Thisis my first time to read about Aguaje. It’s not only good for outside but also good for the inside. I’m very glad Amazon have this.

    1. The only reason that Aguaje would have a side effects is that some people is that they are not taking digestive enzymes.
      If I don’t take Ox Bile and digestive enzymes, it upset my stomach. You have to have enough stomach acid in order to digest. Also I go to the YouTube channel and use a Frequency from Quadible Integrity and Sapien Medicine. Sapien Medicine has one called Full Body Digest-Sapien Medicine. These sites are very safe and valuable to a lot of people like myself. Check both of them out.
      So as long as you do this, you should be able to give Aguaje a second try without any problems the next time.

  3. Spot on with this write-up, I truly think this website needs much more consideration. Ill probably be again to read much more, thanks for that info.
