Has anyone heard of this company? I'm interested in ordering from them. I'm looking for customer feedback on their products before purchasing.

    Yeah, no.

    it's injections for weight loss? Nah, that's okay. I'll just figure out how much I need to eat. Since you're new here, I'd recommend the same to you.

    Here, have some tips:

    I know how to eat! I have Crohn's disease and I'm required to take injectable B12. My doctor can't get it anymore because of some nationwide shortage. Please think about the other persons situation before you make assumptions again. Thanks!

    it's your responsibility to give that information, otherwise you force the rest of everyone else to assume.

    that's on you, not us.

    I'm not required to tell you anything about myself. I simply asked a question. Maybe it's not a good idea to be a member of this community if you get verbally abused for asking simple questions. Members like you make it hard for people with low self esteem to ask questions without the fear of being lashed out at by other members. I'm not one of those people though. Others members should be aware of abusive members like yourself.

    Nobody abused you...if anything, you came back with a snitty "I'm not required to tell you anything about myself". Actually, if you want a correct answer, some background IS required.

    Many people here will not endorse this without knowing a medical scenario. You asked, you didn't like the answers, but you gave inadequate information. And then you get mad?!

    /sigh

    so let's do a brief review here.
    1. you asked about this company. I checked out their website. They brag about how they sell shots to lose weight. That appears to be their moneymaker... their sole reason for existing.

    2. you posted this on a website that focuses on losing weight, in a subforum based on diet and weight loss. It'd certainly make sense that you're attempting to get a review on a company whose products appear to focus solely on weight loss.

    3. You leave out ANY details to the contrary that this has anything to do with Crohn's disease, where I'd really recommend asking your doctor (or finding another one if they can't provide you with the medicine you need to, you know, not think that life sucks a little bit).

    4. Then you get pissed off at everyone else for not somehow magically knowing what you refused to tell us, and then got apparently more pissed off that we asked?

    yeah, good luck.

    ...and since I'm so abusive, did you take a look at that link that I posted? No? Probably not. Maybe you should. See, I go out of my way and take my time to TRY AND HELP people on this forum by giving out advice and offering guidance when asked. Hell, I have 19 friend requests right now. Every one of them has a message in there referencing that link that I sent to you. I've done this for 920 days, today, and of the 4000+ posts I have on here, I dare say 80% of those are making time to help people out.

    ....maybe you should step away from the keyboard for a minute or two. You might be able to calm down and realize that you didn't give applicable information.

    ....and assuming that this is effectively asking about stuff that you're going to shoot into your body to feel better, also realize that you're asking strangers on the internet.

    Now think about that. Here you are, asking people you've never met, about a company that just started up this year... that has a primary focus on weight loss shots.

    ....and you get all mad and stuff when someone gives you an answer you don't like.

    Is it stated on this board that I'm required to give you my medical history? Please post the link if it is a policy of My Fitness Pal.

    Nope.

    but it's the same concept as walking into your doctor's office, simply saying "it hurts", giving NO MORE information, and expecting good advice.

    I understand what I am asking. Is it wrong to ask for other peoples experience with an internet company. I've never ordered any type of medication online. I did a google search and found various companies. This company claims to be an American based company. I felt like I was being judged for asking a simple question.

    Also I didn't read your post. I will read it when I have a moment. I have no idea who you are or what your role is on this board. I apologize if I'm seem rude. I've been a member at other boards where members would try to belittle other members for asking simple dieting questions. I guess this board is different. I apologize again.

    WHy on earth are you getting so snippy. You asked a question and someone replied. It wasn't the answer you wanted because the one you wanted was very specific to your medical circumstance. When the answer you get isnt what you wanted because you have specific circumstances you lash out.

    Sounds like a good idea.

    The general consensus on these forums are that weight loss "shots" and pills are not recommended. There ya go.

    I'm sorry, I haven't dealt with this company and can't provide personal feedback. I'd search the FDA for complaints about them, and maybe ask your doctor if he has an opinion. I'm a little put off by the other offerings on their website, but I know there's a major shortage of injectable B12 right now, so I imagine your options are limited. I'm even wondering if they really have it in stock, themselves.

    Have you tried looking at a Canadian mail-order pharmacy? If you can provide a prescription from your doctor by fax, they may be able to help you.

    More than likely your doc may be nervous about the busting of doctors who are illegally using/distributing PED's and using the "shortage" thing as an excuse. I've already heard of 3 HRT clinics in our area under audit.
