What is the Difference between BLM and AgilEase?
This is a commonly asked question, and there are a few differences! Read all about AgilEase on this blog post spotlight. You could use them interchangeably if needed for stock issues, but looking at the individual ingredients helps you choose which is right for your specific needs:
