Summary

Active-PK is a dietary supplement from LCR Health that is alleged to reduce fatigue, slim your waist, limit cravings, and provide clearer thinking by increasing AMPK levels inside your body. Strong support for these actions is lacking in human subjects, however.

Pros

  • Early results for these ingredients are promising
  • Favorable return policy

Cons

  • More work is needed in human subjects to identify long-term safety and efficacy
  • 2 or 3x more expensive than other brands that offer larger doses

Update

By Cynthia D., Erie, PA, Verified Reviewer

Despite one of the customer service representative asking me to contact her to process product return/refund, I still have not gotten any response from the company. So much for a hassle-free return guarantee.

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

Active-PK

By Carol K., Spring, TX, Verified Reviewer

I started the Active-PK on November 19th and haven't missed a day but I have not lost any inches or weight. My weight and inches have stayed the same since before I started. I will give this product a try for 3 months and if still no results I will return the 3 empty bottles as suggested. I recently ordered another 3-month supply so hoping I don't have to send them back.

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

Pay attention to side effects!

By Vjo D., Pomona, CA, Verified Reviewer

I used LCR's Active-PK for about one year with some very GOOD results - good energy, increased stamina, good maintenance of weight (though no NO weight loss). However, about 6 months in, my knees started to feel achy when standing from a sitting position. At one year, with my knees worsening, I did a better study on the side effects and found that the main ingredient of Active-PK, Gynostemma Pentaphyllum, carries a warning to not use more than 4 months or risk the development of the auto-immune disease, Rheumatoid Arthritis. I stopped the product immediately. The other ingredients - Quercetin and Berberine, both have anti-inflammatory benefits and without those two ingredients, my left knee swelled up to about double in size, put pressure on the sciatic nerve and strained my knee ligaments. I've spent the last two months using other supplements to reduce swelling and heal my ligaments and muscles. All I can do about possible arthritis is pray! BE CAREFUL - don't use this product longer than 4 months.

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

Our raw materials have GRAS approval which are standards set by the FDA, defined as “Reasonable certainty in the minds of qualified scientists that the substance is not harmful under its intended conditions of use.” Immune activating ingredients like Echinacea, Astragalus, licorice and Gynostemma pentaphyllum should be avoided if one has an autoimmune disorder.

Nothing really to report other than weight gain so far.

By Catherine Wight, Ontario, Canada, Verified Reviewer

I have been taking Active-PK for three months now. I have gained about 5 lbs. I continue to crave carbs. I do not notice a loss of belly fat but, to be honest, I did not measure pre or post. I am considering Bariatric surgery as my weight continues to spiral out of control and I am prediabetic. I am trying to change the way I eat and the quantity as to prepare ahead during the wait time for surgery. I have one more month supply but am not sure if I will reorder this product. It is quite expensive. I have to also add in the change of currency as I am Canadian.

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

On program since 8/1/19

By Jacqueline G., Texas, Verified Reviewer

I have been on the program for 3 weeks now and really don't feel any different. My weight is the same, not seeing or feeling any different around my abdomen area and clothes fit the same. I eat very clean and exercise daily by working in the yard and taking care of 4 acres and a very large home. I do not hire any work done and the reason for getting on the program I was wanting more energy. I was taking some "nitric oxide" and really liked the energy I got from them but was concerned about buying something from a store and really not know what all is in it. Your product and research made me feel very comfortable and this is why I decided to purchase a 6 months supply. I am 68 years old and was a personal trainer, clinical nutritionist, and massage therapist in my working years but am retired now but am very busy with my home, land, and husband. I really am not sure what to expect with your product could use some help/support.

Thank you. I am not comfortable recommending to a friend yet until I see some change in me.

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

Scared to keep taking

By Monica C., Oneonta, AL, Verified Reviewer

I've only been taking Active-PK for 12 days now, so I can't honestly say if it will work for me. My concern is my legs. The day after I started the pills, I noticed that my legs felt extremely tight and heavy, like I had run or lifted weights. My first thought was maybe that's a good thing? Every day has been the same except now along with that, my lower legs (from knees down) feel like balloons that could pop. I talked with my husband and had him research the ingredients (he is a pharmacist), and he said to stop taking them. His concern is that I'm retaining fluid? My thought was blood clots. I am going to call today and ask if I can go ahead and return the 6 bottles that I purchased. I have not lost any weight or noticed any energy increase. I have noticed a slim change in hunger. I'm really disappointed because I wanted to give them a good chance to work, but it's not worth my health.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

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

Pros and Cons

Less hunger

Tightening of legs

Heaviness of legs

Legs feeling like they would pop

Belly Fat

By Richard I Miller, St Rose, LA, Verified Reviewer

I have been taking ACTIVE-PK for 2 months and the belly is still big. I'm not giving up after watching that entirely too long presentation but hope to try for another 2 months and will report back

Just not sure

By Johanna V., Waterbury, CT, Verified Reviewer

I've taken two capsules on an empty stomach every day since I got my three-month batch. I'm about three weeks it. Nothing specific is happening. I feel good, have about the same energy, no weight loss yet. I am consciously eating better and maintaining my level of activity since starting to use Active-PK.

I'll finish the three-month course - I already paid for it and it can't hurt, right?

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

Active-PK comments

By Steven T., San Antonio, TX, Verified Reviewer

Taking two pills as directed in the morning, work out three times per week for 90 minutes each time to maintain good hips, knees, lower back, and joints. Feeling good as always. No change in weight or loss of any belly fat. I am three weeks into the start of taking Active-PK pills. I will continue until all three bottles are finished.

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

Trying to remember

By Roberta C., Aurora, CO, Verified Reviewer

I keep forgetting to take it on an empty stomach. If I do remember, I feel as though I can actually feel the difference in my fat belly! It is probably just my imagination, but wouldn't that be a great factor!

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