Do you have any experience of these? Read they need an acidic Urine to work properly. Is this difficult? Any side effects would be of interest.

Thank you Sallywally. I have been tearing myself into knots trying to eat and drink to the benefit of the hiprex. I have had lots of advice from ChatGPT. All sounds reasonable and good. However Google it and it is don’t have this and that’s the wrong time to take that.Giving me a headache. I have bought a good easy to swallow vitamin c with a timed release, Fine with ChatGPT but not the Google Bot who says I should not have tined release as the normal one would give my hipex a spike! It goes on my kefir and oats should not be taken with the hipex as Kefir makes an alkaline which Chat says the opposite. All those on Hiprex do you do anything special except make sure I eat fish,chicken, eggs, drink some cranberry. Oats, oat or soy milk with Kefir.
