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

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!

So far so good!

By Rhonda C., Harrisonville, MO, Verified Reviewer

After years of bladder issues and untold amounts of antibiotics, my gut had taken quite a hit causing digestive issues, bloating, weight gain, skin problems, lack of sleep, etc.

I have been using ActivatedYou for one month, and I see a marked decrease in belly bloating and more consistent BMs.

I know that it can take time for a body to rebalance, but I am happy with what I am seeing so far and have hopes for continued improvement over the coming months.

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

Definitely not for me

By Taylor S., Los Angeles, CA, Verified Reviewer

I experienced many side effects a few days into taking this probiotic. I had very severe bloating, stomach pains, nausea, diarrhea, and aches. I stopped taking the probiotic after about a week, and the pains continued for another week. It has been a few weeks since I've taken it, and I haven't experienced any more pain. I took this to help with digestion and gas pains, but it just made it much worse. I've never experienced long-term pains like this before. I will not be taking this as it is not for me.

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

Company Response from Chloe Lee

Hi Taylor! I'm Chloe from ActivatedYou. I'm so sorry to hear that you had this reaction while trying our Advanced Restorative Probiotic. As with all products, we do understand that they may work well for some and not for others. But as you can see from the hundreds of positive reviews on this page, many of our customers see the many benefits of taking the Advanced Restorative Probiotic. It does sound like you may have been experiencing "die-off" symptoms. This occurs when you introduce probiotics into your body. Of course, we do understand that our Advanced Restorative Probiotic may not work well for everyone, which is why we wholeheartedly stand by our 90-day money back guarantee. Please email me at Chloe@ActivatedYou.com and I can issue you a full refund right away! I look forward to hearing from you and making this right.

Became extremely sick

By Ellany K., Seattle, WA, Verified Reviewer

Immediately after consuming the 8 oz Morning Complete, I became extremely sick. My body went into extreme convulsions, extreme perspiration, extreme pain in my bowels, stomach, nauseous, and ran to the bathroom 4 times in 2 hours. I could not find any laying, sitting, or walking activities in order to alleviate the extreme pain that I was in. I thought that I was going to die and nearly called 911 a couple of times. I've never had such a severe reaction to something that is supposed to be good for my body. I was hoping that this product would be helpful and it is not. I need to return for a FULL refund, along with shipping costs.

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

Company Response from Chloe Lee

Thanks!

By Janet Jones, Jennings, LA, Verified Reviewer

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. After three weeks of using ActivatedYou Advanced Restorative Probiotic, my need has returned to a normal, manageable state. I like to drive again! I tell everyone that matters!

Great product

By Shannon Michael Savitz, New Jersey, Verified Reviewer

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.

Noticeably less bloating for now

By Amanda Almond, Verified Reviewer

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. I can see that there will be more positive benefits ahead and these things usually take time for me. But so far so good!

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

Company Response from Chloe Lee

May 18, 2018

Hi Dienabou, my name is Chloe with ActivatedYou. Our customer’s experience is our number one priority, I am very sorry that your experience was not a reflection of this. I am also really sorry to hear that you did not receive the correct amount of servings in your jar. While Morning Complete was temporarily on back order, we currently have the product back in stock as of this morning. I would be more than happy to provide a full refund, and no need to return the bottle!

As a courtesy, I will also send you another jar of Morning Complete! Please email me at Chloe@activatedyou.com, so I can begin the refund process, and with any further questions or concerns. Again, I’m very sorry to hear about this. I look forward to making this right!

No difference so far

By Stephanie S., West Linn, OR, Verified Reviewer

I’ve been taking it now for one month. I haven’t seen or felt any different so far. I’m going to try it for another month to see. I actually feel more bloated and gassy since being on it. I really hoped it would have helped my bloat. I’m on the thinner side, so I look like I have a baby bump.

NO RESULTS

By Valeria C., San Francisco, CA, Verified Reviewer

I've been taking it for a 1 and 1/2 months religiously and did not notice any difference. I also have reached out to customer service with feedback twice and have not heard back at all. I'm super disappointed and starting to believe that this product and brand are not serious.

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

Hi Valeria, I'm Chloe from ActivatedYou. I'm so sorry to hear that you did not experience the results you had expected while using the Advanced Restorative Probiotic. I did want to let you know that we typically recommend that our customers take it consistently for at least 3 months to experience results. But if you would like to discontinue taking it, I can issue you a full refund right away. Just e-mail me at Chloe@ActivatedYou.com and I can begin the refund process. Again, I am so sorry for the frustrating experience you had but I look forward to taking care of this for you.

Enhanced mood

By Gretchen Schneider, Sarasota, FL, Verified Reviewer

I started taking the Advanced Restorative Probiotic about a month ago. Since then I have noticed an improvement in my mood. I am more upbeat then I was before taking the probiotic. I am still waiting for some of the other advertised benefits to kick in such as a flatter stomach. However, even just the benefit of enhancing my mood is enough to continue taking it.

I started a diet a few weeks ago to lose 5 pounds. The same 5 pounds I have been trying to lose for a few years. So far I have been able to stay on the diet. In the past, I would get distracted by a dinner invitation or the candy jar at work but this time is different. I am sticking to it. The real difference is that I am taking Advanced Restorative Probiotic.

Works wonders!

By Magnolia Rodriguez, Pennsylvania, Verified Reviewer

I started using it right away and after a few days started feeling better. I don't feel that fullness, bloating like before. I always felt uncomfortable, but now I find I even have more energy. This is great since I have RH and Fibromyalgia and I feel with this new added energy, I get more done and the pain is more tolerable. All in all, I will continue to use this product.

Thank you.

P.S. I have my sister on this as well, and her IBS is better.

Have tried everything

By Nicole Siacotos, California, Verified Reviewer

I have had stomach issues, from ulcers and acid reflux, hardly being able to do anything in public without emergency bathroom situations, to feeling extremely nauseated sick, tired and bloated every time I ate anything! It's been about 8 years with all different digestive problems and phases. I've seen every kind of doctor, herbalist, and dietician, some things helped but usually temporarily.

Recently, dramatically changing my diet helped but I wasn't absorbing nutrition, and Maggie's story sounded similar my current issues. After a little over a month, I am feeling better; still tired off and on, but not as bloated and not sick every time I eat. Looking forward to feeling 100% soon.

Skeptic no more!

By Mary Randall, Mannington, WV, Verified Reviewer

I'm unabashedly skeptical. I never believe anything until I've tried it and have seen the results myself of someone I know personally. However, I don't even remember how I found "Activated You," but I'm really thankful that I did.

My husband and I noticed this season of "Designated Survivor" that Maggie Q had lost quite a bit of weight. I couldn't believe how tiny she looked and remarked as such to my husband. Well, looking just a few days later on the internet, I found Maggie's video. Many of her comment struck a chord. So I decided to take the monetary risk.

I've used "Activated You" for the last 30 days and have just received an order of three bottles. For, you see, I'm a skeptic no more! I do have more energy. I'm not craving sugars like I have for years. When I eat a bit of a sugary dessert, I don't feel like I'm desperate to eat the entire cake! My favorite part is, I've been able to add a little bit of carbs to my no-carb diet, but the size of my stomach has notably decreased.

Thanks!

Good

By Janine S. Acuff, North Carolina, Verified Reviewer

Before starting on this product, my gut had gotten very distended. Maggie's story regarding her "pooch" is what first caught my attention. I had noticed my shape was resembling a "weeble." You know, "weeble wobble, but they don't fall down." Now I don't feel as thick through the middle after a month of consuming ActivatedYou. That is really all I've been able to realize. I will continue to use and give it more of a chance to benefit me. Thanks.

Great product

By Jennifer Mattinson, Martinez, CA, Verified Reviewer

I think ActivatedYou Probiotic is the best probiotic on the market. I had been taking a probiotic that I thought was good until I saw the ActivatedYou online video. I decided to give it a try. As a Board Certified Health Coach, I try different health products regularly, so I can recommend the best ones to my patients. I noticed a difference in my digestion and bowel movements within a few days.

I will continue buying ActivatedYou and will recommend this product to my patients from here on out.

Month one!

By Kaylene Harris, Utah, Verified Reviewer

I have completed my first month on ActivatedYou, and have noticed just a few minor things. I take the probiotic with my breakfast in the morning. I usually have to stay around the house for a couple of hours to be close to a bathroom after eating breakfast. There have been a few days this past month that my stomach hasn't acted up, so maybe something good is happening there. I still have the bloated feeling and haven't noticed any weight decrease. Hopefully, month two will bring some more noticeable results. I would like some more help with diet and what foods would better aid the ActivatedYou products. Thanks.

Hi Kaylene! I'm Chloe from ActivatedYou. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review about your experience with the Advanced Restorative Probiotic thus far. While many of our customers start seeing the benefits right away, it typically takes about three months for most to experience the full results. I am so happy to hear that you are already seeing results after just one month. We suggest that our customers stick to an overall healthy diet and drink a lot of water while taking the Advanced Restorative Probiotic. I would love to be updated on your experience and I am totally available for any other questions you might have. You can reach out to me at Chloe@ActivatedYou.com. Take care!

Great probiotic, poor business practices

By C Davis, Centerville, UT, Verified Reviewer

This is an excellent probiotic. I'd give it five stars, however, the way the company does business is shady, so I give their business practices one star.

They have three different prices for this product, and if you happen to get in the membership and cancel it for any reason, they let you back in but they charge an additional 4 to 5 dollars monthly. If you just go online to get it, the cost is almost $70. This tells me they don't care about their customers and they are not afraid to price gauge or punish good customers who need to quit for a time. This is just frustrating.

I'm looking for another good quality probiotic made by an ethical company. I have three friends I was going to recommend this to, but I won't do it now.

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

This is my experience of ActivatedYou

By Gloria M., California, Verified Reviewer

I have been taking this for about two months, and these are the things I am noticing. Other products I have used caused me to have "the runs." Within a few days of taking ActiviatedYou, my bowel habits normalized. I do not have the episodes of painful gas symptoms any longer than I had been experiencing. I feel more alert and am not as tired as I was before starting this product. I am encouraged and will continue taking ActivatedYou because of the changes I have experienced.

Advanced Restorative Probiotic

I am the worlds biggest skeptic! I ordered this and am now very disappointed I didn’t order more at the time. I’ve been taking this probiotic for four days and I’m a believer! The first day I became a little bloated, but I just attributed that to the attack on my bad gut bacteria. My craving for sweets is gone! I seem to get full much faster.

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

Mar 20, 2019

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!

Works for me

By Tad T, Illinois, Verified Reviewer

I suffered from very smelly gas and loose stool. I tried this because Maggie Q endorsed it. If you did not like it, you could get a refund. So, I thought why not?

It does work for me. I no longer have gas and my stool is normal. I am sure it will work differently for every one but, for me it is the only probiotic that has really helped. I am torn because it is expensive but it does work.

Lives up to the hype

By Jaime, Lubbock, TX, Verified Reviewer

The information Maggie and Dr. de Mello shared in their informative video concurred with everything else I've ever read or heard about digestive health and probiotics. As a Practitioner of Chinese Medicine, I'm always on the look out for great products and my husband and I have been very pleased with ActivateYou probiotics. Our overall digestive health has improved with more regularity and less discomfort.
