Your stomach and crack will be ready to battle the saddle for hours, days, weeks...

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.
