These little candies pack a powerful punch. They have helped my Mom tremendously through her battle with head and neck cancer. She undergoes daily radiation and weekly chemo and her saliva glands are so dry they have helped with that and nausea. I love the quality ingredients and no artificial sweetener. Trusted brand and a customer service team that has a huge heart helping those in need. Lifetime customer!!
