    They were prescribed to me by an alternative medicine doctor. All I am saying is they work for me, especially ashwaganda.

    I dont see a peer reviewed clinical trial. Never even seen that site before.

    Perhaps you should see a real docor rather than a quack

    Or at least someone who believes in germs. Apparently Ayurvedic medicine doesn't believe in germ theory? My Indian doctor friends have nothing kind to say about Ayurvedic medicine for that reason alone.

    I don't pretend to be an expert. I'm putting its ingredients (whatever they may be) in my body and I know that it helps me get through my day. I'm less bloated. I have more clarity. Less cravings. It's the only shake, of the nearly dozen that I've tried, that actually tastes good to me. I can handle 4 bucks a serving if it means feeling that good and enjoying it while I drink it.

    The first thing people get wrong about Shakeo is they think it's a protein shake when in fact it's meant to be a health shake.
    I drink it everyday.
    My favourite way to prepare it is with unsweetened almond milk and a frozen banana blended until smooth.

    Full of "superfoods"?

    Thanks for the responses and copy/pastes from the other shakeology inquiry post. Wish i had seen that the day before. As I said above a received the 2+lb bag for free from my boss, who is now using a different product. I'm not a protein powder user, but I do love free stuff! My BF, who is going into a cut soon, was really excited to see that I brought home protein powder; he had a cute little bro-out sesh. He'd never heard of shakeology before, either.
    We're going to try it as a pre or post workout snack, and if I really like what I see i'll probably invest in some of the less costly whey protein powder. I'm not anticipating miracles from any powdered substance.

    The sellers try to come on here and sell it all the time. It's basically a low quality protein powder. It won't harm you at all but it won't do much for you either.
    +1
    It's a low quality "proprietary" (meaning they don't have to tell you exactly what's in it and at what amounts) protein powder... All it will do is shrink your bank account....

    This morning one of my co-workers kindly gifted me a bag of Shakeology Strawberry!
    I've never used the stuff, and tend to shy away from packaged protein powders, but these ingredients seem to line up with my nutritional goals. For those of you familiar with the product: what are your favorite recipes? I'll take any calorie count from snack-sized to meal replacement (for me the latter is about 400-600 cals).
    I do make my own smoothies a couple times per week with everything from kale to berries to ground flax, and I own a digital scale, so feel free to get specific.



    It is not a meal replacement it is an herbal supplement disguised as the "healthiest meal of the day"


    These were some side effects or reactions I felt.
    1.hormonal disturbances in body and mind(including paralyzing monthly cycles) hot flashes I am 30 years old and strange rage)
    2. ringing in the years
    3. weight gain
    4.inflammation
    5.digestive problems
    6. Colds and Throat infections that lasted weeks each time
    7.headaches
    8.extreme fatigue
    9.fast heart beating
    10. extreme exaggerated bruising


    Here is La Leche League's breakdown of Shakeology.

    I believe what happened with me is that my blood glucose levels and blood pressure were too low as well as blood clotting issues.

    Good luck to you!!
