Our health blend formula # 3 has twice the minerals, vitamins, amino acids and herb as # 2 although each package weighs the same. Each Fancier using CTL Health Blend has developed his or her own system for their particular situation. At Chisholm Trail Loft we use Blend #3 365 days a year. We recommend finding what works for your specific situation. The important thing is, you will see results with a CTL Health Blend regimen.
