On the fence

By Jason L., New Jersey, Verified Reviewer

While I've only been on this product a little over a week, I'm very concerned. While I do feel like I have increased energy, but I've not only been eliminating a lot less but have been struggling to do so. Not only that, but it would seem that my weight has actually gone up about six pounds since I've started using it, and that with me going to the gym now in the morning as well. I'm on the fence right now because so far the good seems to outweigh the bad. Not to mention the taste of it is horrible. Granted I'm only taking it with water, but I pretty much chug it as fast as I can each morning just to get it over with. My wife agrees with me that the taste is putrid. She has to mix it with iced tea to even be able to take it at all.

The constipation is my major concern though. I would regularly go some times up to 4 times a day...Now I'm lucky if I can even go once. I'm going to give it another week to be fair and see if maybe my system just needs to adjust, but if I don't begin to normalize soon and begin to lose all the weight I just put on, I'm getting my money back.

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

Company Response from Chloe Lee

Hi Jason, I'm Chloe from ActivatedYou. Thank you so much for your honest review of your experience with Morning Complete. I'm so sorry to hear about what you are experiencing. Because Morning Complete contains Probiotics, there is a chance that you are experiencing die-off symptoms. Sometimes die-off symptoms can last a few weeks. Regarding the taste, many of our customers enjoy putting Morning Complete into their favorite smoothie. This would be a great way to mask the taste if you aren't a fan of it! If you find that you are still unable to take Morning Complete, I can issue you a full refund right away. Just e-mail me at Chloe@ActivatedYou.com and I can complete the refund process right away. I do look forward to hearing about your progress as time goes on. Please feel free to reach out, I'm only an e-mail away!

Best I have felt in many years

By Lisa Gerson, Los Angeles, CA, Verified Reviewer

I have just finished my first bottle of ActivatedYou. I can honestly tell you that this is the first time I have seen a difference in my tummy bloat, as well as, an increase in my energy level.

I have tried so many other probiotics over and over again, but nothing worked for me. I have also gone to many different gastroenterologists, but again, nothing happened.

I am so happy I found Dr. Mello and ActivatedYou Advanced Restorative Probiotic. I feel I am on my way to live my life to the fullest.

Life changing!

By Elizabeth H., North Carolina, Verified Reviewer

I'm enjoying the probiotic so much. This is my second month, and it's been life changing for my problems. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who has problems with gastrointestinal issues. The other thing that's so nice is that once you've ordered, it comes quickly. The emails are helpful as well.

Works for me

By Stefanie D., West Virginia, Verified Reviewer

I've been taking ActivatedYou for a few months now. I was introduced to it by my dad who said great things about it. I don't go to the bathroom but maybe 2 or 3 times a month, so I figured I'd give it a try. After about 3 days I finally went! I tried ex-lax before and couldn't take it because it gave me TERRIBLE cramps and stomach pains. So I was scared this was going to do the same thing. To my very wonderful surprise, I had ZERO cramps or pains! My chronic bloating has significantly decreased and I use the bathroom at least once a day now. At the least, every other day. The price is pretty up there, so I don't know if I will be able to continue it very long but it definitely works.

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

Excellent supplement, works as advertised!

By Chris L., Westminster, CA, Verified Reviewer

I followed the directions and have been taking their probiotic every morning on an empty stomach with a glass of water, and then I eat something small. Within a few days, BM quality improved, but I still had some bloating. After about 25 days, the bloating starting to go away. After 45 days, I feel great and am starting to notice improvements in skin healing and energy. I'm on day 60 now, and would highly recommend giving this a try for at least that long to find out for yourself!

So misleading!

By Amanda G., Redwood City, CA, Verified Reviewer

This is such a shady company! Why didn't their horrible check out process tip me off? Maybe because they had a professional Hollywood actress give me the sales pitch over the course of a 40-minute video?

When you check out and hit submit, it says "Wait! Do you want to add bottles to your order to get a much cheaper per bottle price?" So you think your order hasn't been submitted yet. But it HAS! If you go back and change your order, you'll be submitting an ADDITIONAL order, all before you ever see a confirmation page! I ended up placing five different orders and only ever saw one confirmation page for the final order. I had no idea I placed that many orders until I saw all the emails in my inbox.

And that money back guarantee? MISLEADING. You can have your money back for the product, but you'll be shipping it back on your own dime. Four pounds of unintentionally ordered product costs $12 to ship back.

Oh, and both times I called customer service I was on hold for over 15 minutes each time waiting to talk to someone. When I called to try to cancel the other orders within 24 hours of placing them, they said it was too late and the orders already shipped. The second time I asked if they could give me a return label since these extra orders were a result of their confusing and misleading online order process, and he said "No, you'll just have to pay to ship them back. We don't send return labels."

Why does a good reputable company need such an infomercial-style misleading checkout process? Horrible, horrible, horrible company! Maggie Q should be ashamed to attach her name to such a shady company.

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

Hi Amanda, my name is Chloe with ActivatedYou. I’m very sorry to hear that you had this experience. Our customer’s experience is our #1 priority and I’m so sorry to hear that your experience was not a reflection of this. We would absolutely never subject a customer to order a product that they did not wish to order. That would be highly unethical. We offer special deals at checkout to ensure that all of our customers are receiving the best prices available. I am so sorry for the confusion. I take these reviews very seriously so I will look into this matter immediately. Please email me at chloe@activatedyou.com so that we can further discuss your experience and so that I can begin the refund process immediately. Again, I am so sorry for the frustration and miscommunication we have caused. I look forward to hearing from you and making this right!

I think it’s helping

By Bobi E., Henderson, NV, Verified Reviewer

Well, I started taking this probiotic about a month ago.

So, hopefully, the more days on it, the better I’ll feel.

Improved digestive cycle and energy

By Joelle Guirma, Brooklyn, NY, Verified Reviewer

It has been a full month since I have been using this product and I have not experienced any constipation for the past month. I tend to be constipated twice a week to every other day, but since using ActivatedYou, my stools are very well lubricated and expel from my body with ease. I have experienced reduced bloating and occasional shooting gas pains in my body due to trapped stomach fumes, and I have been functioning on lower hours of sleep and still feeling rested.

I had breakouts for the first 3 weeks, but now my skin is fine. I also experienced increased appetite.

Feeling better

By Patricia Hayden, Illinois, Verified Reviewer

Over the last year, I have been tired all the time, couldn't sleep, and was bloated a lot. I was looking for something (actually, anything) that would help me feel better, have more energy and get more focused. I am not even sure how I happened across this promotion, but I am glad I did.

ActivedYou has really made a difference. I sleep better, I'm not bloated, I have more energy, and I am much more focused. I only ordered the 30-day supply because I really wasn't convinced that it would help, and I am on my way to sign up for a membership. I am totally convinced that it works.

Satisfied

By Doreen Griffith, Rhode Island, Verified Reviewer

I received this for my daughter. She has less cramps, and her stool is more formed. She says it is helping her a lot in these areas. She stopped taking it for a week because she got constipated and thought that was the problem, but it wasn't, so she went back on and realized her body was probably getting used to it. She is now very happy with the results; just to not have so many cramps was a big plus.

My digestion is feeling how I know I should feel

By Li Si Yang, Honolulu, HI, Verified Reviewer

I have been suffering from chronic bloating, gas, and overeating for almost 20 years. I was never overweight, but like Maggie, I had that hard tummy and felt that food was against me each time I ate. In fact, that was the very reason that leads me to become a "Posture and Wellness Coach" and the founder of Journey to Fitness in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Through my journey, I researched, learned and apply what I feel will help me and made adjustments along the way each time I found new information.

On January 2017 I went on a 10-day "solid food vacation" and just drank fresh press organic as much as I can, to give my body a break to detox and clean itself. I felt amazingly great and since then, I have eliminated all beef, pork, chicken and dairy from my diet.

I also started taking Dr. Grundy's products and that took me to about 75% of where I felt I should be feeling every day, but I still had a feeling that there was something missing.

I started taking ActivatedYou on November 25, 2017, and immediately felt a difference. I no longer overeat because I feel like my body is finally digesting the food and I'm getting the nutrients I need from it. Unlike before, I always ate more than I needed to and still felt unsatisfied.

Thank you!

Unsure

By Renee Sims, Texas, Verified Reviewer

I have been taking ActivedYou for a month now. I am unsure about a few things.

I have changed my diet to healthy eating, so I am down a few pounds. I started ActivedYou because of chronic gastric discomfort in the mornings and chronic crazy gas all the time, plus bloating. I have regular BM's daily. I can say they have improved to what I think are healthier stools.

The morning discomfort is still there, and the gas is just embarrassing, even when I am alone! It's really bad. It does not have an odor, but it is A LOT. I am going to continue taking it hoping the above problems will resolve. It's difficult because those were symptoms I had prior to taking, BUT from what I understand, can be symptoms when ActivedYou starts working to clean up the bad bacteria.

The biggest question I have is my face. Since I have been taking it, I have had severe breakouts. At first, it was just little bumps everywhere. They have cleared, and now I will get one massive bump. Almost like a boil. Is this normal? I am 57. They are painful and ugly.

My husband has been taking them also, only for a few weeks. He is complaining of indigestion. He never has problems with that. Could it be related?

I have not given up because I bought the four bottles. I will update after month two. I cannot recommend this product yet.

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

Company Response from Chloe Lee

Feb 22, 2018

Hi Renee! Chloe from ActivatedYou here. I really appreciate you taking the time to leave a thorough review about your experience with our product so far! It sounds like you are experiencing "die-off" symptoms, which are actually very common when starting a probiotic. Some of these symptoms include gas and acne (as you mentioned having). First, I would like to make sure that you and your husband consulted your primary physicians prior to beginning the ActivatedYou Advanced Restorative Probiotic. If you have not done this yet, please do so right away to ensure that it is right for you both.

Once you have done this, I would suggest that you continue taking the Advanced Restorative Probiotic for at least 3 months to move past the "die-off" symptoms and to experience the full results. If the time ever comes where you and your husband decide that the Advanced Restorative Probiotic is not right for you, please email me at Chloe@ActivatedYou.com and I can issue you a full refund. I would love to be updated on your experience as time goes on! Please feel free to e-mail me with any updates or concerns, as well. Take care!

Great purchase

By Pei T., California, Verified Reviewer

I started taking Activated You probiotics October 2017 (so, almost 2 years ago). I have taken other brands before, mostly Jarrow. I found very quickly after taking ActivatedYou Probiotics that I no longer felt exhausted. I might not have felt highly energetic, but the absence of the "deep bone exhaustion" was noticeable.

I was also suffering from alopecia and there was this year-old patch on my left palm that was getting bigger. It would itch, grow bumps, ooze out liquid, crust over, and start again.

After weeks of being on ActivatedYou's probiotics, my hair started growing back and the itchy patch on my palm started to shrink. Simultaneously, I was prescribed ever stronger steroids and Cortizone by my Western doctor, which I was also taking. So whether it was purely the Western medication, or AY's probiotics, or BOTH, I cannot say.

But Western medication of steroids and Cortizone would not affect one's daily constitution (or as Maggie Q would say, "poop"), and I can definitely say that regularity is not a problem after taking AY probiotics.

I've never had bloating or painful gas...unfortunate that so many people have experienced this.

Thanks!

I would like to say thank you for your product. Since I have started taking ActivatedYou, I have noticed a marked improvement in my health. I have regular bowel movements, my complexion is more vibrant, my energy has increased, and I have less bloating, which has contributed to less flatulence and less stomach discomfort. I could go on but in the final analysis, like a chain reaction, one good thing leads to another, and my overall health has improved! My body has truly been ACTIVATED. Thank you!

No more "emergencies!'

By Paul D Donovan, San Francisco Bay Area, CA, Verified Reviewer

I used to dread being farther than 50 feet from a bathroom at any moment. The idea of traveling totally scared me! All too often my need to discharge would quickly turn into an emergency, and the mess that followed was unacceptable and many times embarrassing.

Finally, help arrived

By Janet Knighton, Utah, Verified Reviewer

I have had IBS for 25 years. In the last year, I lost over 22 lbs without even trying. I had a colonoscopy, and all it showed was IBS they gave me a LINZESS prescription, which actually made everything worse. I finally saw their video and thought I would try it. Within two weeks, I was back to normal. I was honestly at a point where I couldn't leave my house. Thanks for giving me my life back.

It’s only about three weeks, and I feel noticeably less bloater, both in general and after I eat. At first, I thought I was noticing more/easier elimination, but that hasn’t been sustained.

Worst customer service ever

By Dienabou Diallo, Santa Clara, CA, Verified Reviewer

I purchased the product after seeing all the hype about it online and Maggie's video. I received a product which was not complete and not even a third of the bottle.

I called customer service thinking this would be a quick fix. They told me that the bottles are never full and that I should have 30 scoops in there. I told them there is no way there are 30 scoops in there and the representative actually made me count the number of scoops, which were 20. I expected them to ship me another bottle, instead, they told me to return the bottle to get a refund because they had too much demand so they could not send me a bottle. The representative insinuated many times that there should be 30 scoops in there, like I was lying.

As a first time customer, I am really disappointed by the service, and I am done with this company.

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