Very nice production. I've been taking two table spoons of AVC twice a day for the last 7 months. So far I've not gotten the flu and it seems to help me lose a little weight. I drink it in the morning on an empty stomach with warm water. I'm not sure I'd want to make it myself, but it's interesting to see how simple it would be to make. It's been used for centuries, especially by the Romans, so it's been helping people for a while.
