Not sure I fully appreciate the benefits of this miracle product but would love to know what form it comes in and where you get it.

You should be able to get it in any health food store. It comes in the form of crushed seed husks, in a small packet. It is flavorless, but very very dry and is best ingested with yoghurt or in a smoothie. Juice woeks well, as does jam. This is an extreme form of fiber that also aids glands throughout your digestive system... if you really have to know.

Read more about Grant & Susan's story
Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
