I suffer a little in the summer as I live in an area with an open field behind me, and when the wind picks up, the pollen takes hold of my nose. Within about half an hour of taking this tablet, I usually feel a lot clearer, not only in the nose, but the head also Customer services are always helpful and so polite and friendly…. When I first ordered from them online I did not think that the service would be like this. Thank you
