Somebody with a little bit of "street-cred" needs to try this stuff and report on it. Maxwatt should forgo his normal regimen for a month or so, and the rest of us should chip in enough money to purchase a few bottles of this stuff for him, so he can put the toe-test on it. He would need to figure out the minimum amount necessary to ingest to make himself feel at least as good as he feels on his current regimen...
I might die trying
Wow, you have a very low opinion of this product! I would have thought you would exhaust the generosity of the people purchasing the product for you a long time before you could do any damage to your health!
If people have money to burn, why not just have the stuff tested for resveratrol content? Or does Shaklee make you sign a "do not analyze" agreement when you buy it?
Or perhaps Hedgehog could perform some blood serum tests with Vivix. But still, even if the blood serum levels of RSV turned out low, wouldn't there still be some lingering doubt that just maybe --the other ingredients are having some (as of yet) underappreciated kind of super-synergistic effect?
One reason I hate to see this product totally dismissed is that if Sinclair participated in marketing such a useless product, it leads me to believe he did so because he ran across enough evidence to convince himself that Resveratrol wasn't ever going to amount to much. So putting RSV in a Shaklee product was about the best that was ever going to come of it. I don't like this because I still harbor vague hopes of finding a way to build up to a dosage level that would actually increase life or health span.
WOW! You all really hate the entire concept of MLM or direct marketing, eh? Sounds like some of you might be too smart for your own good. The way you all seem to dismiss anything and everything associated with direct marketing reminds me of past discussions I've had with people on various subjects, but especially religion and politics. It amazes me how some people seem to just know everything and how they seem to always think that they are right.
Now I'm sure this post will get deleted and considered just a flame, but that is or was not my intention. Nor is it my intention to sell anything to anyone on this forum. I am scared to admit that I am a Shaklee dist for fear that I'll now be branded a schmuck or a dupe or whatever else and anything I say from this point on will be completely disregarded. And to think I got accepted into West Point out of hs and later finished 4 years of college, what luck must have been on my side to do all that seeing as I am just a stupid dupe that would waste his money on the crap Shaklee puts out.
Well, I started taking that waste of a product called Vitalizer about 3 months ago and although I didn't notice a difference, a close friend of mine swore it gave me more energy. Then I ran out and was without it for about 2 weeks and then I did notice a difference. I became depressed, tired and lazy that 2nd week I was not taking those multivitamins. I felt like I did before I started taking them. Now you all are so smart, tell me, is it a placebo effect? I've been back on the Vitalizer for about a week now, and I also added a daily dose of Vivix as well and I've started to feel more energetic. Again, is this just a placebo effect? Am I imagining things? I must be, because Vivix, according to all of you is a worthless, overpriced scam of a product, as is the vitalizer.
Oh, and btw, I am so stupid that somehow I only pay about $80 for my months supply of Vivix and less than that for my Vitalizer. Maybe because I'm so stupid I don't realize that I get a 15% discount as a member and another 10% discount by putting the products on autoship. I also get a free months supply of Vitalizer because I have them both on autoship. Oh, and how stupid I am for forgetting that the company actually pays me money to buy products as well, so that reduces the price I pay as well, to about 50% of the srp. Wow, how stupid of me to have figured out how direct marketing works.
But seriously, is it that impossible to believe that any MLM products can be of high quality?
