Hi Laurie,

I hope this finds you in the best of spirits and health. My name is Tim Skwiat, and I am the Director of Nutrition and Exercise with BioTRUST Nutrition. I am very sorry to hear that you are not completely satisfied, and I'll do everything I can to take care of you. Ultimately, it's our goal to help you achieve yours, and we are also committed to providing our outstanding customers like yourself with world-class customer service.

In general, we encourage folks to give our premium, research-backed supplements (like LeptiBURN) an honest chance to work by taking it as recommended for at least 60 - 90 days. Like all BioTRUST supplements, LeptiBURN is made with the highest quality, most effective ingredients, but no product will work miracles overnight. Along those lines, LeptiBURN is designed to work best when combined with a caloric deficit (i.e., reduced-calorie intake, regular physical activity) to help promote optimal fat loss.

In other words, LeptiBURN helps make a solid weight loss program markedly more effective by counteracting weight loss plateaus and declining leptin levels common with weight-loss diets. What’s more, LeptiBURN promotes increased metabolic rate and fat burning, decreased appetite, and improved feelings of wellbeing.

That said, studies on the individual ingredients in LeptiBURN demonstrate acute (i.e., within hours and days) increases in metabolic rate and fat burning, and research shows that can add up to significant reductions in body weight, body fat percentage, and waist circumference in as little as 4 weeks. What’s more, studies suggests more profound health, weight management, and wellbeing benefits with more prolonged, consistent use (e.g., 8 weeks). More acutely, LeptiBURN users report improvements in energy levels and feelings of wellbeing and reductions in appetite.

However, as individuals vary so too may their results, and that's precisely why all of our customers—including YOU—are completely protected by our One-Year Money-Back Guarantee. So, folks can use the product as recommended (e.g., for 90 days, along with good nutrition habits and regular physical activity), and if they find that it's not right for them, there's still plenty of time to take advantage of the One-Year Guarantee.

With that said, we completely understand how time can slip by, and more importantly, I am very sorry to hear that we did not take the appropriate steps to follow up with you as you were assured. Please accept my most sincere apologies. Along those lines, I want to ensure you that we will do everything we can to take care of you and ensure your complete satisfaction.

With that in mind, I want you to know that we will provide you with a FULL REFUND for your entire purchase. Also, to make sure this is as seamless as possible, there is NO NEED TO RETURN any empty or unused bottles. Please do with them as you wish.

With all of that being said, because of the limited amount of information that you've left, can you please contact me directly at tskwiat@biotrust.com so that I can verify your account information? We have thoroughly searched our system for a customer profile that matches the information that you've provided (e.g., first name, city, state); however, it would be immensely helpful if you would be so kind as to provide confirmation of your full name, e-mail address, order number, etc., so that we can ensure your refund.

Also, I know that you came to us for a reason, Laurie, and I want you to know that I'd also like to make myself available to you for free nutrition and exercise coaching. I want to ensure you that I'll be here for you every step of your journey to provide guidance, accountability, and support. If there's anything that I can do for you, please do not hesitate to let me know.

I look forward to hearing from you soon, Laurie, and we greatly appreciate the opportunity to make this right for you.

Sincerely,

Coach Tim

Hi George,

I hope this finds you doing well and in the best of health. My name is Tim Skwiat, and I am the Director of Nutrition and Exercise with BioTrust Nutrition.

I keep a close eye on review websites like this in an effort to ensure that our outstanding customers like yourself enjoy a completely positive all-around experience. It’s our goal to provide our customers with world-class customer service, which has earned BioTrust an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.

With that being said, I am remiss to hear that your expectations were not met with the BioTrust supplements in which you invested. It's our goal to produce the world's purest, most effective supplements that are bigger, badder, and better than anything else on the market. All of our products are based on the most recent, best available science, and we only use ingredients in the precise amounts that have been demonstrated in research on real humans just like you to be markedly effective and safe.

With that being said, I want to do everything I possibly can to make sure that you're completely taken care of. As a nutrition coach—available directly to help you achieve your health and fitness goals—I would be curious to learn more about your expectations of the products you used and how you measured your progress along the way.

For starters, it may be helpful to know which products you were using to support your health and fitness goals. What did you set out to accomplish using these products? How did you use them? What measurements did you take (e.g., blood chemistry profiles, scale weight, body composition, girth measurements, etc.)?

With regard to the pricing of our products, I’ll be happy to provide you some additional information that can help you and other customers explain why our premium, research-backed supplements are priced the way they are. For starters, there’s a HUGE quality control issue in the dietary supplement industry. The overwhelming majority of companies choose to cut corners in order to increase profit margins.

For instance, most companies don’t choose the best forms of ingredients nor do they provide them in efficacious amounts based on research on real humans like you and I. BioTrust only chooses the best ingredients and provides them in the amounts and forms that science has demonstrated to be effective.

We perform extensive raw ingredient and finished product testing to ensure that the identity, purity, and potency of each ingredient in all of our products. Many companies don’t do this, and as a result, what’s on the label is not truly in the bottle. In addition, we conduct extensive contaminant testing using advanced laboratory techniques to ensure that our products exceed even the most stringent standards for contaminants (e.g., heavy metals, pesticide residue, solvents, bacteria, mold, etc.). Other companies do NOT do this, and subsequently, this raises tremendous concerns about what you’re truly putting into your body.

We only work with the highest-tier manufacturers, which all strictly follow the Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) for dietary supplement and food manufacturing. Using only the best GMP-certified manufacturers ensure that our products are accurately labeled, are free from contaminants (e.g., bacteria, pesticides, glass, etc.), and have been manufactured to ensure identity, purity, strength, and composition. I can’t begin to tell you how many companies use manufacturers that are not GMP compliant or cut corners here in order to save money. In fact, we audit all manufacturers before and during our work with them, and we have had to turn down relationships with many of them due to the fact that they did NOT meet our extensive quality criteria.

Lastly, while the scientific data on each product’s ingredients provides convincing evidence of their effectiveness and thousands of customers can attest to each product’s real-world application, testing the products in a manner like this further demonstrates product safety and efficacy. Although this is very rare in the industry and it is a very expensive, arduous process, we believe that it is a great service to our customers, and this is yet another example of putting the "TRUST" in BioTrust.

With all of that being said, we offer our great customers many opportunities to save money on our products. For instance, we regularly have e-mail and mail promotions whereby customers can save 15 – 20 percent (or more) on their orders. We also offer special discounts on bundles (e.g., 3- and 6-bottle bundles) of products, as well as discounted rates when customers choose our Ship-N-Save option. All of these are efforts to help provide even more value to our customers.

As you can see, we’re very passionate about what we do and helping great folks like yourself, George. That’s why I’m so sorry to hear that your expectations weren’t met and why I’d like to do everything I can to help you. You see, we use these products ourselves, we share them with our family and friends, and we wholeheartedly recommend them to our clients.

With regard to e-mail, we sincerely appreciate your feedback, and I’m sorry to hear that you don’t enjoy receiving health and nutrition tips on a regular basis. The overwhelming majority of our subscribers appreciate the information, but we understand that it’s not for everyone. That’s why you’re more than welcome to unsubscribe or reduce the volume of e-mails (e.g., 2 days per week) at any time. You can do this by visiting the Customer Support page on our website or by using the links at the bottom of any e-mail that we send out.

As far as the recommended upsells, we greatly appreciate your feedback on that as well. Again, most customers greatly appreciate the suggestions, as they may not be familiar with our entire product line. Further, these recommendations are complimentary products that other customers have chosen with similar goals/purchases. You’re never obligated to choose any additional products; however, we feel that it again offers our customers even more value by helping them better understand how synergistic products may further enhance their health and body composition.

That being said, you are completely protected by our one-year money-back guarantee, and our Customer Service team will be happy to assist you with an exchange or return. Based on the information provided (e.g., first name, location), we cannot confirm your account in our system. If you would be so kind as to follow up with me directly and provide a little bit more information (e.g., last name, order number), that would be incredibly helpful in making sure that you’re taken care of. Also, our Customer Service Team can be reached by phone, e-mail, or through our website (BioTrust.com):

800-766-5086
Support@BioTrust.com

I'd also like to make myself personally available to you for additional assistance, and you can contact me directly at tskwiat@BioTrust.com. I'll be happy to assist you with any questions that you have, as well as arrange for a Customer Care Specialist to reach out to you at a time that is convenient for you. Likewise, I will also be glad to help you in any way that I can in achieving your health and fitness goals. After all, our ultimate goal is to help you achieve yours.

With all that said, I look forward to hearing from you soon, George. Please let me know how I may be of further assistance.

Thank you,

Coach Tim

Hi Jeff,

I hope this finds you doing well! My name is Tim Skwiat, and I am the Director of Nutrition and Exercise with BioTrust Nutrition. Thank you very much for sharing your input. We value all customer feedback, as it's our goal to provide you with world-class customer service and an overwhelming positive experience overall. Along those lines, it's also our ultimate goal to help you achieve yours, and I hope that you will allow me the opportunity to accompany on your journey as your own personal nutrition and exercise coach.

You mentioned that you've been taking BellyTrim XP for two months as well as making better food choices. That's fantastic that you've made such significant strides toward improving your nutrition; great job! Although you've cited no change on the scale, I wonder if you've noticed any improvements in any other areas of your life (e.g., better feelings of wellbeing, energy levels, sleep quality, focus/concentration, etc.). I've often found that we have a tendency to beat ourselves up because we think we’re not making progress. Yet, the truth is, in almost every case, we’re making tons of progress. We just haven’t tracked it, and so we don’t realize it.

With that in mind, I wonder if you've monitored any other variables (e.g., anthropometrics, girth measurements, body fat percentage)? When looking at the wealth of research on the primary ingredients in BellyTrim XP (i.e., conjugated linoleic acid, CLA), CLA has consistently been shown to improve body composition (i.e., increase lean body mass, decrease body fat). What's interesting is that these improvements in body composition are not always followed by net changes in body mass.

In other words, if one is only using the scale to measure objective outcomes, s/he may be missing out on progress. In the overall scheme of things, while most folks have their eyes set on the scale (i.e., body weight, net body mass), what seems to be far more important than scale weight is body composition (i.e., percentage body fat). However, if one is only using the scale (and not assessing body fat percentage and/or taking girth measurements), then fat loss and muscle gain cannot be accurately tracked. It's completely possible for someone to be "normal" weight and overfat (which has very serious implications for health risks). Likewise, it's possible for someone to be "fat and fit." In other words, it's possible for someone to be "overweight" (by BMI standards) yet have excellent metabolic health and reduced disease risk.

With all of that being said, I sense that your goal is weight loss, and while there may be some (currently undetected) changes in body composition already present, I want to make myself available to you for direct coaching assistance in achieving your goals. I invite you to contact me directly at tskwiat@biotrust.com so that I can learn more about you and we can get the coaching process started.

I do want to remind you that you're protected by our one-year money-back guarantee. If for any reason you're not completely satisfied, just let our customer service team know and we'll cheerfully issue you a refund even for unused bottles.

With regard to the ordering process, we do provide customers with the option of purchasing additional bottles or products at heavily discounted prices. However, any additional purchases are completely optional; we simply extend these offers in order to provide our customers with the best possible value.

I look forward to hearing from you, Jeff. Keep up the great work!

My best,

Coach Tim

Hi Colleen,

I hope this finds you doing well! My name is Tim Skwiat, and I am the Director of Nutrition and Exercise with BioTRUST Nutrition. I wanted to follow up with you right away to provide you with my personal assistance:

I keep a close eye on independent review sites like these because our number one goal is to ensure that our outstanding customers like yourself are completely satisfied. In fact, BioTRUST has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, a reflection to our commitment of excellent customer service. With that said, I am very sorry to hear about your experience, and I want to let you know that we’ll be doing everything we possibly can to make this right for you.

We welcome all customer feedback and testimonials, and while the majority of that is positive, we accept negative criticism with open arms as well. We are committed to excellence, and who better to tell us how to improve than our loyal customers.

One thing that I noticed in your review is that you mentioned that you accepted an $84 refund, but that had not happened. Although refunds happen immediately on our end, it can take up to 3 – 5 business days for them to be reflected on your statement. A credit to your account for $84 was issued in our system on April 9, 2015. I've sent you an e-mail with an image of the transaction history, including a reference number for the credit to your account.

Have you happened to reach out to your credit card company about this? This concerns me, and I want to make sure that this is fully taken care of.

With regard to your concerns about customs fees (i.e., duties and taxes), I am so sorry to say that this is completely out of our control, Colleen. All International orders are subject to applicable sales tax, duties, and customs charges that are determined by your local government and vary by country.

Duties, taxes, and/or customs fees represent an additional amount collected upon delivery of orders. Order confirmation details only the amount collected by BioTRUST. By law, duties and taxes shall are based on the full retail price of the products regardless of bundled pricing or other discounts on the order.

With that being said, in reviewing your customer notes, in addition to the refund, it’s my understanding that, as a courtesy to you our valued customer, our Customer Service team has offered you an in-house credit in the amount of the customs fees that you will pay for your shipment.

As far as the ordering process, I do want to confirm that we never add any additional products or charges to an order that are not approved by a customer. In other words, only products that are selected by the customer are added to the shopping cart, and the customer must approve the order by submitting credit card information and billing and shipping details. That said, your feedback is incredibly important to us, and I invite you to share any specific feedback that you may have on how we might be able to improve this for you and other customers in the future.

Most importantly, we know that you came to us to help you achieve your health and fitness goals, and I want you to know that we will be here for you every step of the way to guide you, support you, and encourage you. In fact, you may contact me directly or visit our free Online Coaching Community (www.BioTRUSTBoard.com) to get free help from our certified nutrition and exercise experts. We’re here to help and happy to do so.

Please feel free to contact me at your earliest convenience (tskwiat@BioTRUST.com) to let me know how I can help you. Thank you, Colleen.

Sincerely,

Tim

Hi Mr. Coy,

First and foremost, congratulations on the incredible, inspiring progress that you’ve made thus far. You’ve lost over 30 percent of your body weight. Take a moment to think about that and bask with pride. Through your hard work and dedication, you, my friend, have achieved something enormous and life-changing.

My name is Tim Skwiat, and I am the Director of Nutrition and Exercise with BioTRUST Nutrition. On behalf of Josh, Joel, and our entire team, I’d like to congratulate you on the stellar progress that you’ve made, and I want to thank you for sharing your success story with us. I also want you to know that we’ll be here every step of the way to guide and support you as you continue to move forward on your journey.

Although you’ve seemingly hit a bit of a plateau in your progress, I encourage you to look at this as a very positive point in your journey. Think of it this way, Mr. Coy. Only about 25 percent of people who lose a substantial amount of weight (i.e., <10 percent of body weight) are successful in keeping it off. You, on the other hand, have successfully kept off 30 percent of your body weight for two whole months. In other words, I encourage you to view this plateau as a mini-maintenance phase, which demonstrates that you can successfully maintain your weight loss. That’s a BIG win!

With that being said, there are a few factors to consider when it comes to plateaus. First off, from a physiological standpoint, there are a number of adaptations that can take place during a weight loss journey. For example, in response to a reduced-calorie intake, the body has a number of energy-preservation mechanisms (e.g., reduced metabolic rate, increased hunger and appetite, decreased spontaneous physical activity, increased muscle efficiencies, etc.) that it calls on to help match energy expenditure with energy intake.

I know, that really stinks, but the body’s primary goal is to avoid starvation—not necessarily getting into great shape. Also, another factor to consider is that, as your body changes, so too does your physiology. For example, as you lose weight, the energy cost of every activity decreases. In other words, the program that got you where you are today may not be sufficient to get you to where you ultimately want to be.

This is why it tends to be beneficial to start clients at the highest food intake and lowest physical activity levels possible. This leaves plenty of room for progression during the journey. On the contrary, many folks want to start with the most restrictive diets along with exercising 6 – 7 days per week (sometimes twice a day). How is that sustainable? And when you do hit a plateau, how do you progress from there?

From a progression standpoint, when folks hit a plateau, they generally benefit then from a combination of reducing calorie intake and increasing physical activity. Again, we’d be looking for the minimal effective dose. In other words, the smallest degree of change that produces the desired result (e.g., increase exercise volume 1 – 2 hours, reduce calorie intake 200 calories per day, etc.). With that said, it would be helpful to have a better understanding of your current nutrition plan and physical activity program to make the best possible recommendations.

One additional point to note about plateaus that sometimes goes overlooked is that quiescent periods in weight loss (i.e., plateaus) often result from intermittent lack of adherence. In other words, folks have a tendency to be a bit more forgiving about their portion sizes, food choices, exercise (e.g., missing a workout), etc., and all of those little things can add up to stalled progress. In the overall scheme of things, adherence is king. With that in mind, it may be beneficial to review compliance to make sure that this is not an issue for you.

I hope that this is a helpful start, Mr. Coy. Please feel free to reach out to me directly with any additional information or questions at tskwiat@biotrust.com. We’re here to help and happy to do so. Most importantly, CONGRATULATIONS on your tremendous progress to date. You, my friend, are an inspiration; keep up the great work!

My best,

Hi Julie,

I hope this finds you doing well. My name is Tim Skwiat, and I am with BioTrust Nutrition. I'm remiss to read your review. While we conduct extensive testing to ensure that BioTrust Low Carb BioTrust Low Carb (which contains no artificial sweeteners and instead is sweetened naturally with stevia, inulin, and Swerve) is the best-tasting protein available on the market today. We understand that individual taste preferences vary significantly.

And while the majority of our customers are head over heels about the flavor of BioTrust Low Carb, we appreciate that not everyone will agree. That's precisely why we stand behind all our products with our 1-year money back guarantee. Along those lines, I have requested that our Customer Service team refund you for the $4.95 that you paid in shipping.

Having said all that Julie, I want to reassure you that your feedback is very valuable to us, and I will gladly pass it along to our R&D team for consideration. We're in the business that is constantly improving, and who better to tell us how we can do that than our trusty customers. With that being said Julie, I would be curious to hear which flavor you tried and how you prepared your BioTrust Low Carb. At your convenience, could you please email me at tskwiat@biotrust.com? I would also like to offer you a complimentary bottle of another flavor to see if you have the same experience. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Tim

Hi Sharon,

Wow! What an impressive testimonial; thank you so much for sharing. I'm so encouraged to hear that experienced such tremendous success with IC-5.

IC-5 is available both through Amazon and our website (BioTRUST [dot] com). To your point, Amazon erroneously recalled certain products because BioTRUST was falsely included in a manufacturer's recall notice. The manufacturer has since issued a clarifying statement admitting fault, and all BioTRUST products have been reinstated on Amazon.

All that said, we hope that you are able to once again add IC-5 to your wellness protocol. Please keep us posted, and please feel free to contact me directly with any questions or concerns at tskwiat@biotrust.com.

Hi Mr. Collin,

I hope this finds you doing well! My name is Tim Skwiat, and I am the Director of Nutrition and Exercise with BioTRUST Nutrition. I wanted to follow up with you immediately to provide my personal assistance.

I did want to mention that this website is a third-party webpage that has no affiliation with BioTRUST. However, I keep a close eye on independent review sites like these because our number one goal is to ensure that our outstanding customers like yourself are completely satisfied. In fact, BioTRUST has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, a reflection to our commitment of excellent customer service.

With that being said, I have forwarded your request to stop future shipments to our Customer Service department, and I have asked that the appropriate action be taken immediately. If you were charged for any bottles that you did not wish to receive, can you please let me know? I’d like to make sure that you are refunded appropriately and promptly.

I do see that one refund in the amount of $39.00 USD was credited to your account on August 6, 2015. That transaction takes place immediately on our end, but it may take 3 – 5 business days for it to be reflected on your statement. If there are any additional refunds that you believe you are due, please let me know.

I also wanted to take a moment to address your comment about the EPA and DHA content of OmegaKrill 5X. On the Supplement Facts panel of the bottle (and on our website), you can find the amounts of each of these omega-3 fats. For instance, each daily serving (i.e., 3 softgels) contains a total of 456mg of EPA and DHA combined (64mg and 392mg, respectively). But that doesn't tell the entire story because the amount of these omega-3 fats that you actual absorb is what's truly important.

It’s crucial to point out that OmegaKrill 5X incorporates the research-backed VESIsorb® Absorption Enhancement Matrix, which has been shown to increase the bioavailability of omega-3 fatty acids by greater than 5 times compared to traditional fish oil capsules. In other words, OmegaKrill 5X provides the equivalent of over 2,280mg of EPA and DHA (i.e., 456mg multiplied by a factor of 5) with each daily serving.

It’s also important to point out that OmegaKrill 5X has earned the prestigious 5-Star rating and certification from The International Fish Oil Standards™ (IFOS™), which is the only third-party testing and certification program for fish oils. IFOS sets the world’s highest standards for purity, potency, and freshness. The IFOS 5-Star system tests products for:

• Active ingredients (e.g., EPA, DHA) to ensure they meet label claims
• Contaminants
• Heavy metals
• Stability

You can find the most recent OmegaKrill 5X Consumer Report confirming our 5-Star rating and IFOS certification by visiting the IFOS website. Or, if you contact me directly at tskwiat@BioTRUST.com, I will gladly provide it for you upon request.

I hope that this is helpful, Mr. Collin. If you have any additional questions, concerns, or information that you’d like to share, please don’t hesitate to let me know. I’m here to help and happy to do so.

Sincerely,

Tim

Hi Robert,

I hope this finds you doing well. My name is Tim Skwiat, and I'm with BioTrust Nutrition. I'm incredibly reluctant to hear that you're not completely satisfied with your recent order and our BioTrust Low Carb protein. I assure you that we will do everything we can to take care of you and win you back as a customer.

For starters, I'm going to have one of our customer care specialists contact you. We stand behind our products with our 100% satisfaction money back guarantee, and I'd like to have one of my teammates personally reach out to you to help you explore your options.

Having said that, our sample-size containers of BioTrust Low Carb are only available in two flavors: Milk Chocolate and Vanilla Cream. Our Cafe Mocha is only available in a full-size container. With that in mind, I'd also like our team to look into this to see if there was an issue on our end in terms of fulfillment.

With that being said, I would also like to send you a complimentary bottle of Cafe Mocha for you to try. Would you be okay with that? If so, I'll coordinate with our customer service team to do so.

With regard to the flavor, while the overwhelming majority of feedback we receive is exceptionally positive, we understand that individual taste preferences most certainly apply. That said, I'm curious to learn how you prepared your BioTrust Low Carb protein shake.

There is a digestive enzyme blend in the product (called ProHydrolase) that helps increase protein absorption and utilization, as well as ensure stomach-friendly digestion. The caveat is that this enzyme blend is "activated" when mixed with liquid when it begins breaking down the protein into smaller chains (i.e., peptides), which can alter the taste substantially. The end result is that the protein shake can taste quite bitter if mixed ahead of time and left to sit for a prolonged period of time (e.g., > 30 minutes).

Please keep an eye out for a contact from our Customer Service team, Robert. I assure you that we'll do everything we can to make this right for you. Thank you for the opportunity to do so.

My best,

Tim

Hi Mr. Johannessen,

My name is Tim Skwiat, and I'm with BioTrust Nutrition. First and foremost, thank you very much for taking the time to voice your discontent and for allowing us the opportunity to make things right for you and earn your trust and loyalty as a life-long BioTrust customer. While it's our goal to provide all our customers with world-class customer service (which is A+ rated by the BBB), we openly invite constructive criticism, such as yours, as we are committed to continuous evaluation and improvement.

Having said all that, along with the help of our Director of Customer Service and Quality Assurance team, we have reviewed the call history associated with your order. With regard to the first aspect of your review, BioTrust employs Customer Care Specialists in both the United States and India. I do want to emphasize that all of these teammates are employed by BioTrust. In other words, all of our CS team is internal; none is outsourced (e.g., third-party contractors). Overall, BioTrust proudly provides jobs for hundreds of US citizens.

Be that as it may, your feedback is important to us. While we've worked diligently to recruit the best English-speaking offshore agents, who are trained the same way and have access to the same resources as our US-based agents, we understand that there still may be a communication barrier. Along these lines, we apologize for any frustration that you experienced during your interactions with our CS team. Moving forward, I invite you to contact me directly at tskwiat@biotrust.com with any questions or concerns that you may have.

With regard to the second aspect of your review, we are in the process of investigating this further at our fulfillment center. Under normal circumstances, orders ship within 24 hours of being placed, often within the same day. It seems as though your order remained at the fulfillment center well beyond that window, which is unacceptable to us. That's precisely why we're looking further into the matter.

Having said that, we did process a re-shipment as soon as we became aware of the delay. Along those lines, it's my understanding that you should be receiving both the initial shipment and re-shipment within the next 24-48 hours. We are terribly sorry for this inconvenience, Mr. Johannessen. Like I mentioned, we take these matters very seriously, and we're looking into your case from all angles to identify coaching opportunities (within CS) and efficiencies (within our fulfillment center).

I am confident, however, that you will be extremely pleased with our products, and I'm very much looking forward to your feedback. In addition to making myself personally available to you, I'd also like to offer you a $50 gift certificate that you may use in a future order. If you could please contact me at tskwiat@biotrust.com at your convenience so that I can provide you with the coupon code, that would be greatly appreciated.

Once again, please accept our most sincere apologies Mr. Johannessen. Thank you very much for taking the time to offer your honest feedback. While we are remiss to hear that your initial experiences have left a sour taste in your mouth, we appreciate you allowing us the opportunity to make this right and to identify areas where we can improve.

Sincerely,

Tim

Hi Peter,

I hope this finds you in the best of health! My name is Tim Skwiat, and I am the Director of Nutrition and Exercise with BioTrust Nutrition. First and foremost, please accept my most sincere apologies for not responding and reaching out to you sooner. Although your review is dated 17 Jan 2016, it was just published Thursday, Feb 4th.

With that being said, I am very sorry to hear that the BioTrust supplement that you used did not exceed your expectations. Our products are designed to work, as we spend an immense amount of time researching the most effective ingredients and scouring the globe for the most pure and potent forms.

As individuals vary, however, so too do results, and that's precisely why we stand behind our research-backed supplements 100 percent with our money-back guarantee. Along those lines, I am glad to hear that you are completely pleased with our refund policy and that you are very satisfied with our customer service. We greatly appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.

With that being said, at BioTrust, it is our goal to ensure that you enjoy a completely positive all-around experience, and in our pursuit of excellence, I can't help but notice that you did not give us a 5-star rating. Along those lines, is there anything that I can do for you to take your experience to the next level?

We know that you chose BioTrust for a reason, Peter, and I want to do everything I possibly can to help you achieve your health and fitness goals, starting by making myself available to you as your personal nutrition and exercise coach. At your convenience, can you please e-mail me at tskwiat@biotrust.com? It would be my absolute pleasure to join you on your journey and provide you with the guidance, support, and encouragement to make sure that you achieve your goals.

Thank you, Peter; I look forward to hearing from you.

My best,

Coach Tim
