I've also read a few articles on the product, but very few results. many of those using the product where using other products before starting the use of the bio pellets,so they are reporting little results. Nothing negative either. In addition many people are still in the early stages of using the product.

Are you starting this product without any prior use of another ( zeovit , vodka , sugar etc...)? If so let us know the details.

I think it is still early for results on bio-pellets being that they just arrived in the states in December and it takes about a month for the bacteria to colonize the pellets. it does look promising though.

FYI, we will be carrying NP Biopellets for anyone that wants them. This product can also be used alongside Zeovit supplements. If anyone is interested, a Preorder is going on in the marketplace for these. We will be bringing in a very limited stock so preorder is necessary to get it. Thanks!

On the topic, we will be testing the NP Pellets as well in a smaller system here. More info to come!
