Look, if those supplements actually worked for you, then great—but if they aren't doing anything, don't just sit there stressing about it. There might be something else going on entirely. If you're looking at levels similar to mine—say, if we're talking about the first stage of concern—maybe they’ll have an effect, but if you’re hitting level two or three, honestly? Just head straight to your doctor. They’re going to know a hell of a lot more about your specific situation than any of us on this forum ever could...

I’m sitting at stage one—basically just some bleeding—so perhaps that’s why it seems to be working for me? I wonder if that's the reason it isn't having the same effect for you.

I was looking into the Himalaya Pilex tablets (100 count), which go for 9.9 miles. They’re manufactured by the Himalaya drug company out of India, and if you're looking for them in Canada, they are imported and distributed by McKesson. Looking at the label—which I've transcribed here from the bottle—each two-tablet serving consists of 260mg of powder, 32mg of purified mineral resin, 14mg of neem, 64mg of coriolus extract, 32mg each of amla, haritaki, Indian jujube, cassia, and orchid stem, plus 6mg of nagkesar. The dosage calls for one tablet twice a day, and it comes in a bottle of 100. Here is the quick breakdown straight from the packaging:

In my experience—and I should note this is just one person's anecdotal take—I used to deal with frequent nosebleeds whenever I blew my nose too hard. Lately, though, that hasn't been an issue at all. Still, there's really no harm in giving it a shot if you think it might help.

Down in Canada, we have a version that goes for about eight bucks... personally, I think it's worth it—and I’m not talking about just twenty or thirty units, but a full hundred pieces... I’ve never really seen the point in picking up those overpriced ones.

Eight bucks is too expensive? Honestly, I paid that exact amount at my local CVS for a pack of 100... and if you ask me, they’re worth ten times that. At least you won't have to worry about things for six months—especially when it comes to those internal hemorrhoids that have been absolutely killing me lately.

With Pilex, you can usually expect at least a ten-month stretch of silence from any side effects... personally, I’ve had a solid year of peace. I’m about to start a new round of Pilex now, and I’m just keeping my fingers crossed that the old issues don't decide to make a comeback.
