Dosage Instructions
The company website recommends taking one tablet daily but it does not state if better to take in the morning, afternoon, or night, or with or without food. Consult a physician before using this supplement if pregnant, nursing, or you have a serious medical condition.
Cost and Guarantee
On the manufacturer's website, one bottle of 60 capsules (2 month supply) costs $3.60 and a 120 pill bottle is $16.79 which is twice the pills for more than four times the price of the smaller bottle. The pricing structure makes it much better value to purchase a one month's supply of pills versus a four month supply and is a disincentive to buy in bulk. There were no discounts for first time buyers. Standard shipping is $4.95, but is free if you spend over $49. The manufacturer states that if you are unsatisfied for any reason, you can return the unused portion within one year of purchase for a full refund (less shipping).
Bronson Gastro-IBS Review - Conclusion
Bronson Gastro-IBS at first seemed to be a promising supplement with some advantages. The manufacturer offers a very generous one year guarantee and allows you to return an unused bottle for any reason. This refund only applies to unopened bottles and excludes shipping costs. The supplement is very good value at only $3.60 for a 60 pill bottle (2 month supply). We do have some negative comments however. The website lacked important dosing information about when to take the supplement or if to take before or after food. The supplement is not third-party tested, produced in a Good Manufacturing Practice certified facility, is not non GMO, nor suitable for vegans. There was no discount provided on the company website for first time users, and the bulk purchasing option actually costed more than buying single bottles. It was much cheaper to buy one bottle of 60 pills than to buy one bottle of 120. The reviews that we read indicated that many users saw no improvement or even worsening of symptoms after taking the supplement. We recommend you look for a more reliable IBS supplement with wider approval ratings.
