I am taking the recommended 5 a day but I think this may be causing the “die off” reaction that I have read about. I have had flu-like symptoms and been extremely fatigued for the past 3 days (i’ve been taking the capsules for 4 days).
I have read conflicting advice about whether this die off is normal and something that will go away or if I should stop taking the yeast raiders supplement.
Any advice would be great, thanks.
