My father (who is 74 years old) told me about this supplement in December, and I started taking it in early January 2017. He has had amazing results!
It has been seven weeks and I've had mixed results but mostly positive. I am a 46 year old, African American woman. Overweight, mostly sedentary, and borderline diabetic with knee problems and back issues.
I do suffer some side effects: occasional cystic acne and slight rash. What I have done to mitigate these effects is vary my dosage. I rarely take the full four pills a day. I take three or two pills daily, depending on how I feel and the side effects. If I take four pills the cystic acne comes up, but when I go down to three or two pills a day it clears up and I still receive benefits. I have also experienced a bit of a rash, but again, if I notice it is happening then I reduce my dosage and it goes away.
That said, the benefits have been AMAZING. My mood has improved, my tummy fat is disappearing slowly, my metabolism is noticeably improved (verified by body temperature) and each week I notice something better! I had some joint pain the first few weeks but now I feel better than ever. My knees no longer hurt, and my back pain lessens every week. It's crazy. Every week I notice something is getting better.
I have also noticed that my body is "transforming". I can't think of a better word for it. I am feeling stronger and more toned, even without exercise. Exercising would probably enhance this effect greatly. My breasts feel more firm, my lower abdomen is reducing, and my thighs are more toned. My clothes fit differently. l haven't weighed or measured myself so I can't tell you the exact numbers, but how I fit my clothes is proof enough for me.
I refuse to give up on this product. I can't wait to see how I feel after six months and one year! I haven't changed a thing about my diet and I exercise infrequently, but nevertheless, I continue to feel better and better. The mood improvement has helped me to start exercising, even if infrequently. Whatever is happening is slow and steady for me, and totally worth it. I know that someone with more diligence and discipline would likely benefit a great deal.
I read thousands of reviews of this supplement before I started taking it (Ulta and Costco in particular). I learned that it can take a while to work and I'm finding that to be true. I know it is expensive but it works. I've taken A LOT of supplements over the years but this (and colostrum) have definitely benefited me. If you can afford the supplement and can commit to the time (likely several months), then I would highly recommend that you take this supplement. It is the real deal.
I do not work for the company and no one paid me for this review. I just want to share my experience and plan to expand upon it depending upon my experience over the next months. For now, seven weeks in, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this supplement, just be prepared to commit to the expense for several months. It's up to you, but if you've spent money on other treatments and supplements over the years, then give this a chance. It has surprised me, and for the better.
Good luck!
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
