    у меня неприятный привкус появился и особенно после еды, когда была проблема с желчным. иногда даже до рвоты доходило. Пробовала пить сухую расторопшу но это ужасно невыносимо. а потом узнала про Энгилен, капсулы с расторопшей, артишоком и куркумой. 3 недели пропила и чувствую себя совершенно другим человеком
