>>Undecyn has recently been reformulated and combines the undecylenic acid from SF722 (in a powdered form bound to calcium) with Berberine HCl and time-release Betaine HCl. The reason for the HCl is that the calcium undecylenate, although more potent than straight undecylenic acid, works better in an acidic environment. Tweet
