I work in the healthcare profession (research) so when Dr. Grundy's video popped up in my Facebook feed, I watched it. I was impressed by his credentials as well as his story about "Big Ed" and his 50% reversal of heart disease.
So, I ordered Vital Reds online and paid through my PayPal account. My only complaint about Dr. Gundry's marketing division is that I received a telephone call (Morgan McDaniel was the rep) who first asked me about my experience with the powder before trying to enroll me into their VIP program. I wanted to enroll, but I had to do it right there and then and to provide my credit card over the phone, which I flatly refused! I think asking customers for this kind of private information over the phone is absurd!
I received my shipment within three days, which is fast! I also had scheduled a Lifeline Screening Test to be done two weeks from the time I started using my first jar.
I was also surprised at the size of the jar (very small), but it also contains a small scooper. The taste/texture of the drink is better than I expected.
My first benefit was more energy (probably from the B vitamins in the powder). My skin has also started to improve in texture (smoother) and appearance (more brighter).
The second benefit is that I am more regular in my waste elimination. I now have two bowel movements a day, which is good because the less time that stool remains in the colon, the more healthier a person is and less inflammation occurs.
The third benefit is that my Carotid Artery Screening (Plaque), Ultrasound evaluation of the carotid arteries (a test that screens for buildup of fatty plaque) and my Peripheral Arterial Disease Screening (ultrasound and blood pressure measurements to check for peripheral arterial disease or plaque build-up in the lower extremities) all came back normal!
My osteoporosis test also came back normal, showing no deficiencies or bone loss.
I attribute most of the third benefit to no longer drinking carbonated beverages! I gave them up six years ago because I read a journal article that said carbonated beverages leeches bones of its calcium. Calcium supplements (taken without vitamin D) is also said to harden your arteries like rocks! Which might be another reason why some people are prone to heart attacks.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
