    It's hideously expensive, and he peddles a whole bunch of crap on that site. Seems like a typical snakeoil salesman to me.

    Now because of this board and the recent influx of Dr gundry fans all I see on misc. websites are ads for this product ugh

    It's known as WOO here. Supplements for weight loss or health rarely actually have any significant impact.

    So what does? A balanced diet and exercise. Bet you've heard that a million times.

    It's not designed for weight loss. And yes I know that diet and exercise are key.

    I also put health. Is there any peer reviewed clinical study or evidence that this stand alone supplement improves it? If not, then you're just getting sold a bunch of woo. Part of the reason why the supplement business is a billion dollar venture.

    Have you read the ingredients list?

    It is the weakest B complex I've ever seen.

    A boiled egg would give you more.

    With the exception of a multivitamin, no. The big difference..................I ain't paying $50 for a month's supply of vitamins. Unless one is deficient, there is NO ADVANTAGE to taking a supplement that exceeds RDA. In other words, you don't get extra credit for doing it. Anything over gets excreted through urine. So if you like to piss your money away, then you have more money than I do.

    Hi there, Didn't look like you got any good response- Well I got the "WOO" and have been using it for the last 6 weeks - I love it!! It is doing for me everything it is advertised to be. The naysayers always make snide comments, but they sure didn't share with you what "expensive pee" they make. Everyone is taking some kind of supplement. Protein powders and ECGC and all the rest of the smack people take are really expensive. I've heard it over and over "Eating healthy is the key to living well also get exercise, rest and plenty of water". I modify as many things as I can. I tried for over a year eating healthy, working out in gym and walked over 4 miles a day. I ate the "balanced meal" and did not cheat often. A cookie once in awhile was not gonna make a difference. and drank an ocean of water. The only time I lost any weight was doing a "cleanse" (4lbs in a week) But it slowly came back. I grilled all my fish, ate lean meat and whole grains and fresh veggies. So much salad my husband thought I was going vegan ... nothing happened. I had managed to lose 2 lbs only to see it return without cheating on going off my "diet"

    I saw the infomercial on Vital Reds and decided to try it, not really for the potential weight loss but for energy and relieve brain fog. With the order I went ahead on got his book "diet evolution" another version of the Adkins diet. I am as skeptical and the next person and it is not cheap. At the discounted price it's about $1.00 per day. Less than the water I've been buying. I started the first day it arrived. Mixed the powder in water. It tasted pretty good. I started reading the "Diet Evolution" and it made a lot of sense why I was not losing weight. I started following the plan and taking the Vital Reds as a supplement in the morning. I lost over 5lbs the first week, another 2.5 lbs the 2nd week and so on. In the 6 weeks I have been following the plan and taking the supplement, I've lost 11lbs and feel really good. I don't know if it is the diet or the Vital Reds or a combination, but I am really encouraged and excited. Hope that helps to answer your question.
