ActivatedYou Morning Complete

Listening to Maggie Q, she is so inspirational and you can tell she’s passionate about her product. I wish I could say that I love it.

I understand that everyone experiences the taste of a product differently. For me, this tastes flat out horrible. It has such an artificial, strong flavor I literally have to hold my nose to get it down. I’ve tried mixing it with extra water, putting it in iced tea, mixing it into a smoothie - no luck - it overpowers everything it goes into. The smell is just as bad and permeates every beverage it’s mixed with. And the texture, it’s almost as bad as the flavor, just super gritty. I’ve been giving this a shot for a few weeks now.

I understand the Die-Off symptoms and I’ve had those as well, which I was willing to try to ride out. But I took a high-end pre and probiotic prior so I’m surprised at those symptoms as well. They seem aggressive for most people in these reviews with very few stating the symptoms eventually went away. I kept reading and reading hoping I found folks who stated the symptoms subsided. I found very few.

All of that aside, I just can’t pay this much money for a product that makes me gag on a daily basis. No downstream positive benefits are worth it. The sad thing is I love both apple and cinnamon, so, you can imagine how gross this tastes to me if I’m taking the time to write this. I’ve read multiple reviews where people are stating the same thing. I don’t know why this isn’t formulated with no flavor or in different flavors that are provided as sample packs to figure out what you like best. Sadly, I need to return my purchase.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I can't wait to try this all-in-one product. I hope to not have too much die off symptoms since I have done cleanses and take a candida cleanse supplement daily. I am prepared for it. For folks that don't understand that. Die off can be a stage that frightens you and you can deal with a variety symptoms such as dizziness, headache, fatigue, aches, almost like flu...until the toxins die out of your body. They fight back by giving you extreme sugar cravings, starch cravings, and causing pain and other symptoms to encourage to stop and continue to let them thrive in your body. Don't give in. Like going to the gym and you experience pain and soreness until your body adjusts. Don't let those nasty organisms/bad bacteria, candida win. As your body is stabilizing and ridding of these you will experience gas and bloating. How infested you are of the nasty stuff depends on how much and how long. I say for your health and elimination of bacteria that encourages disease...stick it out. Just like you would at a gym or workout routine. I hope to receive mine soon. Many blessings.

I have been taking this for 3 weeks and have not felt any positive benefits. I am extremely gassy and uncomfortable. I take this each morning with 8 oz of liquid per the directions. Am very disappointed.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I have not felt this good for many years. It actually did take me a while to associate my improving health situation with Morning Complete. I typically experience chronic and severe joint and back pain. I literally have had no pain since I started using this product. I feel like it's been a miracle for me. I have IBS which is awful and I have experienced none of those symptoms. I don't feel bloated and actually less gas than usual. I can't speak for anybody but myself and the way this product has worked to change my life. I feel great, even to the point of starting an exercise program. I'm definitely sold on this product.

In all fairness, I'm not crazy about the taste but for the benefit to my health, it is a small price to pay. THANKS!

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Does it really matter if you use 8 ounces of water? Can you use less? Please say yes...I love this product just can't stand the flavor. Sorry, ActivatedYou, but I love your product.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I have been taking this for approximately 3 weeks now and although my energy is up a tad, I am severely bloated and gassy (I look like I am with child, but that is impossible). Diet hasn’t really changed but I have packed on quite a few extra pounds on top of it. The only thing that has really changed for the better is my energy. Everything else is not as positive. This product may work for some people but has not for me as the bloating and gas is too much. I was really hoping this was the product for me but it is time to start looking for a new product.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I am very disappointed in this product. I am just as bloated, if not more, has not helped with regularity - at all, more gassy than ever and I purchased the product to hopefully help the above issues. It's uncomfortable and I feel heavier and absolutely do not like the way I look through the midsection. I have been drinking it at the same time every morning for 2 weeks. I've emailed about my diet only receiving a "standard" response. I continue to drink it in hopes something will soon change, but not optimistic. Again, I am very very disappointed. I do not want to continue using and deal with not liking how I look, feel, and constantly having gas. Can I PLEASE get a refund before having to consume 3 JARS! Which I will not do.

OK, my update. The product has now arrived and firstly I was horrified at how empty the pots are. I'm not sure if there is a reason for the enormous size of the container, compared to the quantity of power held inside the container, especially considering the current ecological climate with people looking to reduce their use of plastics - to me it seems both misleading and wasteful. I did photograph it so I could show you just how low the level is of powder but can't upload any images here sadly. But I can say I found it shocking.

So to the product itself. Well, the flavor and texture for me are unpleasant, but I think that is a personal thing. Some people like it, I don't. However, when you experience issues with digestion as I do you'll try anything in all honesty. So I have taken it daily.

1) I have taken it for several weeks now, just in half a glass water and chugged it fast because the taste and powdery texture make me gag. I then down extra water after it both to take the flavor away and because a bit of extra water is always good.

2) It does cause far more noxious gasses than I would like to have to deal with on a daily basis and as yet that hasn't died down. I can see that this could cause some people pain, it hasn't for me - I just have to ensure I don't try to hold it in (as that would be painful) and for the love of my kids, go outside regularly and open doors and windows! It may die down with continued use, in which case that's fine.

3) I have had a good clear out every day. This is unheard of for me. I have struggled with constipation for years and this has made a big difference to my life.

IN CONCLUSION:

1) The pushy buying experience was horrid and the extra cost on top of the product and shipping for customs taxes made it very expensive.

2) The product has helped me to get my digestion moving but the toss up is the exorbitant cost, poor and wasteful packaging, and extreme noxious gasses have to be weighed up against that.

If the gasses die down and they do something about the packaging, I will definitely continue. If not, I will likely look for something else.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I’ll start with the good news, the product tastes great and is easy to mix up and drink.

Now for the challenges: the product was shipped to the wrong address even though I had contacted the company to verify the correct mailing address the day I placed the order. I had to drive 20 miles to an old address to pick up the package. However, when I contacted the company they immediately shipped one replacement bottle to me at my current address. This was a little odd because I had ordered three bottles initially, but they were quick to re-ship nonetheless.

Unfortunately, this product is not a good fit for me. It creates a horrible bloated feeling and gas all day long. These are both undesirable side effects and I will need to return the products.

Received two containers yesterday, and tried it this morning.

I, too, was disappointed that the container was only half full - but I poured the contents onto a scale, and there is, indeed, 8 oz of the product. Seems like a small container would be wise, considering that UPS charges by the size of the box, rather than by the weight.

Taste: I put a scoop into 8 oz. of water. The taste was horrible - almost had a metallic after-taste. I poured that one out.

Then, I tried it in 8 oz of coconut water (I use the Harmless brand when I can't get Thai coconuts), and that was much better. I plan on making almond milk tomorrow morning and trying that. And, I'll try adding it to a smoothie, though I would prefer it be a neutral taste, as I don't want my smoothies tasting like apple/cinnamon.

What I DON'T want is to receive a container every month. I don't want a subscription, I just wanted to try it - so I'm hoping I don't have that issue.

I like reading the reviews, though, because everyone has a different experience. The over-sell WAS annoying, but many companies do that. Just keep clicking on "no thanks", and you'll be fine!

If the product doesn't agree with me (or with you!), then the best alternative is to take some supplements, juice vegetables, and fruit and greens, or put them all in the blender so you get the fiber, too. I only plan to use Morning Complete on the mornings I don't have time to make a drink from scratch. So - I'll let you know how it goes! No recommendations for or against right now. But, this review requires me to choose a "yes" or "no", so it has to be "no" until more results are in! Stay tuned!

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Been using the product for a couple of weeks. It cost me a lot more in CAD dollars of course.

It doesn’t upset my stomach, it tastes delicious, so I’m inclined to keep drinking it. It’s not off-putting like other powder supplements.

The jar was only half full. That was a disappointment.

It does, however, cause a bit of bloating in my bowels and all-day gas!

I haven’t really experienced any weight loss, but I look slimmer. It almost acts as a diuretic product that makes you lose water weight. It hasn’t helped curb my carb cravings at all.

I’m going to keep taking it until it’s finished,

Ms. Q makes it seem like it is a meal replacement in the morning. That it’s all you need that it might even be filling. I don’t find that to be true, and I don’t feel like I have more energy. If anything, if I don’t eat any food in the morning, I’m totally exhausted and sleepy by midday.

I'm not sure if I would purchase more because I found the sales gimmicks very lame. I didn’t like the constant attempt at getting me to buy more or a different product altogether in addition to Morning Complete.

So I can’t recommend it at this time.
