well, clearly you are just worried about money. This is not about that. Yes, it costs money, but first look into what the Moriinga tree is and the history of it. Thankfully somebody figured out how to help millions of people with all parts of the tree being used and put into a form that works. Of course eating less helps you lose weight. Losing weight isn't really the main thing here, it is simply one of the side effects or benefits as I look at. Read and learn before you speak

Did you even read the forum rules?
Also, I never drank any tea and I've literally lost more than half of my starting weight.
50+%.
Yeah, not a misnomer. Not due to some stupid tree or any tea that you might make from it. It isn't a miracle. There are no products that give results like that. Getting off of your own *kitten* and changing your life does wonders, though... and it's free.0 -

You fell for the sales pitch. It happens to the best of us.

I had a coworker who sold Zija, so I did a bit of research...
Can any of you Zija folks tell me just HOW MUCH of the formulation is actually moringa vs. "other stuff"? The distributors tout all of this research and "bioavailablilty" and the "MIRACLE" of moringa, but nowhere could I find exactly HOW MUCH is in there? 5 mg? 50 mg? 500 mg?
Or is is a bunch of green tea, Trimethyglycine and caffeine with some moringa thrown in for good measure?0 -
A few weeks ago, my friend and co-worker (who works at a supplement store) recommended this zija product to help me stay healthy and motivated during the winter. First of all, I understand all the skeptics in regards to pyramid schemes. I don't usually buy products from sales reps and I'm not selling / advertising for this product, but recently I realized that I just needed to keep an open mind, so I gave the supermix a try..
Secondly, I wasn't looking for some short cut to lose weight or a super pill that would give me energy. The only thing I wanted was an all natural and organic supplement to help me prevent my muscles from becoming sore after a work-out and feeling fatigue while I was trying to work later. Well I haven't been drinking the mix regularly, but I have noticed positive changes in my general health that no other supplement has provided so quickly (and you can trust that I've tried everything and more, including multi vitamins, protein powders, bcaa's, 5-htp, green tea extracts and obviously caffeine) On Thursday, I was working a 9 hour serving shift and during my break I felt like I wasn't going to make it to the end of the night without help. But, instead of drinking a cup of coffee, I added the mix to my regular bottle of water and 10 minutes later I felt better. I wasn't shaky anymore and at the end of my shift my feet didn't hurt like they usually did, which is why I believe this "swamp water" has proven there are positive health benefits. (But there is also a possibility that they might not be for everyone.)
So finally, I woke up this morning and decided to support others who have also chosen to try it. I've seen so many people try to slam people for trying an alternative to health (especially within the supplement industry), but enough is enough.. To those of you with a negative opinion that isn't science based, you can stop trying to bash everything that doesn't fit in to your "exercise and a well-balanced diet are key to success" lifestyle.0 -

My belief is that each person has a right to supplement with a product, to make up for lost nutrition, without being put to shame because they haven't stuck to the traditional method of living. (Especially if they don't have enough time in the day to prepare, pack, and then later cook 3 healthy meals) So what has been acknowledged that is incorrect?0

One can attend to a symptom with a pill, but that doesn't solve the original problem. If one have pain in their shoulder, took a pill and relieved it, but had to continue with pills the to keep pain at bay, then it's just addressing a symptom. Wouldn't it make more sense to diagnose the cause of the pain and directly address it with a program to reduce or rid it?

I've been drinking the XM+ mix for some time now and can honestly say I feel a huge difference when I drink it. I don't seem to crave those sugary carb foods (i.e. Cookies) as much and it does make me feel better. Put it this way, I can tell when I haven't been drinking it after a few days.
I'm not going to get into the rest of this debate. Just sharing my own personal experience. And no, I am not a distributor.0 -
I def lost weight when I was taking it. But most important my 7yr old daughter has completely transformed. One thing you have to realize is, Zija is not a weight loss solution....Zija is a HEALTH solution- losing weight is just a pleasant side effect. Or gaining if that's what you need! I discourage people to take Zija JUST for weight loss because that is only the tip of the very large and beneficial iceberg. If you want to lose weight, you WILL by taking Zija...but you will also be supporting your digestive system which is a key part of weight loss. You will be supporting your immune system which is important to. I cannot possible tell you ALL the benefits of Moringa on your health, there are too many but I would like to share my story to anyone willing to listen. My daughter suffered from a horrible vaccine reaction when she was 13mos old that has destroyed her immune system and bowels. Since taking Zija a year ago, her whole body was nourished enough to heal itself. If you are interested in hearing both, my weight loss success and my daughters healing feel free to add me as a friend on FB.

Now my friends are finding that it is helping them too I also give it to all my Show dogs. I still need to lose another 20 kilo but Im on the way and that is the best thing0

I have never sold Zija or made any money from it. I chose to try it only because I had a couple of friends that had great results from it. Having said that I done the three step weight loss kit. It contained the xm+ drink mix, the xm am pills and the tea. I lost 30 pounds by doin nothing differnt that drinkin the mix in the mornings and taking the pill before lunch. I would only so the tea once a week or so. I quit taking it and continued eatting the way I had before so I of course gained 25 pounds back. I have recently started it back and have lost 5.5pounds in a week. I have more energy and it makes me feel better. I am not saying it will work for any or everybody all I know is it worked for me!0
