Energy Renew Review - Does it Work?

By Anthony Dugarte, M.D., C.S.C.S

Updated on: Jun 19, 2020

What Is Energy Renew?

Energy Renew by Gundry MD is a supplement that allegedly increases your cells' natural ability to create its own energy, while also providing protection and helping them burn fat.

The company's purported benefits for the supplement are:

  • Addresses your fatigue
  • Cellular energy support
  • Promotes clearer thinking
  • Maintain healthy metabolism after the age 50

To use, you’ll mix one scoop of the powder with 10 fl. oz. of water and consume.

Sources of fatigue are wide-ranging and commonly encompass less concerning factors typically related to lack of sleep or poor diet. However, sometimes more serious underlying issues may be the cause of fatigue.

This review examines the ingredients' effectiveness, safety, and whether this supplement is right for you.

Ingredients

According to the supplement facts label listed on the Gundry MD website, Energy Renew contains the following:

  • Vitamin C 5 mg
  • D-Ribose 5,000 mg
  • N-Acetyl L-Carnitine 500 mg
  • Polyphenol Blend 300 mg – Beet Root Extract, Hibiscus Flower Extract, Betta Berries (Acai, Acerola, Amla, Jabuticaba, Cranberry, Goji, Mangosteen, Maqui Berry, Pomegranate, Strawberry, Schisandra Berry)

Vitamin C is an antioxidant that can combat free radicals, substances associated with harmful oxidative stress, as well as support immune function.

These effects were demonstrated when the combination of 3g of vitamin C and 2g of vitamin D prevented the oxidative stress from sunburn over 50-days.

Its relationship with the immune response has also been demonstrated; vitamin C levels drop during acute infection or stress. Also, 55 patients that were treated with 60 mg/Kg body weight of vitamin C experienced elevations in white blood cell levels, cells we use to fight infection.

D-Ribose is a naturally occurring sugar that plays a large role in energy production. At 15g/day, D-Ribose improved energy in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia.

In healthy subjects undergoing intense exercise, 10g/day of D-Ribose reduced perceived exertion, as well as blood tests that indicate muscle damage, over the course of 5-days.

N-Acetyl L-Carnitine also plays a role in energy production as it works to transport enzymes that breakdown fatty acids into the mitochondria, the powerhouse of your cells.

Created by the liver, kidney, and brain, it can also be obtained from meat products. Vegetarians that received 2g/day for 3-weeks increased both blood and muscle carnitine levels though this did not improve muscle function during exercise.

In contrast, 26 healthy subjects prolonged their ability to exercise with 3-4g/day over 1-week.

Polyphenols are compounds found in fruits, vegetables, and wheat products that are thought to play a role in energy metabolism, while also offering antioxidant, disease-fighting, and brain-boosting capabilities.

Over 12-weeks, cognitive function improved in 12 elderly adults with memory decline after consuming 6 and 9 ml/kg of concord grape juice, a beverage known to be packed with polyphenols.

The relationship between quercetin, a type of polyphenol, and exercise performance has been extensively investigated. While performance improvements were noted in a review of 11 studies, they were minimal. Also, the duration of treatment and dosing (up to 1000mg/day) did not affect these results.

Potential Side Effects

The studies reviewed here included doses comparable, or substantially larger, when compared to those offered in Energy Renew.

Vitamin C was safe at 3g/day over 50-days without adverse events. Nausea, diarrhea, and headaches are possible with excess amounts.

Both D-Ribose and N-Acetyl L-Carnitine were safe at doses 2-4x larger than Energy Renew. Both can similarly be associated with digestive issues like stomach cramping and diarrhea.

Polyphenols are generally safe. The company does not offer details for dosing in each individual ingredient in this blend, though quercetin was safe at more than 3x Energy Renew’s total polyphenol dose.

Always consult with your primary care provider before committing to any new supplements.

The Cost

If purchased directly from GundryMD.com, Energy Renew is available in the following quantities:

  • 1 Jar: $74.95
  • 3 Jars: $285.00
  • 6 Jars: $377.70

All orders qualify for free shipping.

All Energy Renew orders come from Gundry MD with a 90-day money-back guarantee, less S&H, which you can request by calling (800) 852-0477.

The Bottom Line: Is Energy Renew Necessary?

Vitamin C’s antioxidant and immune boosting capabilities were proven at doses even lower than what is included in Energy Renew.

Even at doses much larger than what is available in Energy renew, the support for D-Ribose, N-Acetyl-L-Carnitine, and polyphenols is mixed.

When combining the available scientific support with pricing options, this may not be the best place to start if you’re interested in boosting your energy.

Speak to your doctor first before committing to this supplement.

When is the best time to take Energy Renew

By Monica M., Atlanta, GA, Verified Reviewer

I have only used Energy Renew for a week. Is there a best time to take it? Presently I find no difference, improvement in my lack of energy. The product tastes delicious, I have been taken it in the afternoons as a "snack". Will it be more effective in the morning? Or evening?

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

Energized at 70.

By Ken L., Ohio, Verified Reviewer

I have been using Energy Renew, Heart Defense, and Vital Reds for months, in a smoothie in the morning with blueberries and protein powder. Results? I will be 70 this year, walk 30-35 miles a week at a 15-minute per mile pace, do P90x at least once a year, and can run up stairs without being out of breath. People marvel at my energy and activity level.

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

Energy Renew

By Jacqueline M., Franklin, MA, Verified Reviewer

I am on my 4th week of Energy Renew. It has given me some energy but I still get that mid-afternoon slump. Sometimes after I drink it, I feel a bit nauseous for a few seconds.

Not sure I would recommend yet.

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

Great drink

By Julie P., Madison, WI, Verified Reviewer

I was skeptical if it would actually provide more energy and I believe it does. I drink it in the morning before my coffee. Yes, one morning I didn't drink my coffee until 11! The fact that the powder dissolves easily and taste great with no aftertaste is a bonus. I am very sensitive to after tastes of even natural sweeteners. This has none!

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

Asking for input from Gundry

By Noel S., Barnegat Township, NJ, Verified Reviewer

I spent 2 hours writing up questions regarding Dr. Gundry’s Energy Renew. However, every time I tried to send it to his business website, it crashed. Two hours.

Thus, I now recognize everything I questioned was true. This is a Gundry SCAM! In addition, at $74.94 per month, this product is only for the wealthy, not the sick. Dr. Gundry purports to care for the ill.

Nonsense! No one in the middle or lower income levels could possibly afford this miracle product.

Dr. Gundry, show your true self!

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

Energy Renew is awesome. It gives energy and improves skin.

By William G., Ventura, CA, Verified Reviewer

Dr. Gundry is the best nutritionist since the Juice Man. Of course, Doc is more scientific and gets to the molecular level. I trust Doc. His narrative videos are convincing. He could be better in the debate videos. No need to say things like throw out the Juice but keep the skins of berries. Doc, prep before debates! You are relaxing on your laurels. Focus on science. One contradiction: in Vital Reds video you state don't eat go go berries but they are in Energy Renew! Whaddup Doc?

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

Good so far.

By David P., Adelaide, Australia, Verified Reviewer

My wife and I took our first delivery of Energy Renew and we both found our energy levels definitely increased and really noticeably on hikes in the local hills. We then had trouble trying to order more as it wasn’t available and only in the last six weeks we were able to get some more and have now been taking it again. I take it with a glass of water mixed with Vital Reds and Primal Plants every morning. I find now that I have more energy and stamina than I’ve had for years and in the process dropped 7 kilos.

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

Dr. Gundry's products

By Sherry H., Arizona, Verified Reviewer

I was feeling kinda of sluggish and low on energy. A friend recommended that I try Vital Reds, so I looked it up, liked what was in it and ordered. Then I saw Energy Renew, so I ordered that as well. I combined the two in the mornings. I feel better throughout the day and don't seem to get that 2:00 pm low. I also read your book Plant Paradox and have incorporated some of the do's and don't into my daily vegetarian diet.

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

Disappointment

By Drena C., Ocala, FL, Verified Reviewer

Mixing this with water resulted in a very unpleasant taste for me. I mixed it with organic carrot juice and followed directions for 30 days. My condition is unchanged. I have had limited stamina for 4 and 1/2 years since being diagnosed with viral meningitis and am still in the same state after taking Energy Renew for 30 days. (Sigh.)

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

High pressure sales without results

By Tami S., Rockford, IL, Verified Reviewer

I was initially hopeful that Energy Renew would give results. During the buying process, I became more skeptical as the high-pressure sales tactics started pouring in, trying to get you to take the 1-time deal to buy large amounts for a first time only discount, and trying to add additional supplements at a decreased price that you'd never be able to get in the future. I should have listened to my gut that told me that these tactics showed more that they probably profit off people for a 1-time buy rather than in the long haul.

After trying Energy Renew for two months, I noticed nothing. My husband had also been trying this regularly, and he also noticed no difference. This is when I decided to use the 90-day, no-hassle, money back guarantee. Here's where there was another hiccup.

The lady on the other end of the phone told me I could only get a partial refund because I didn't keep the empty bottles to send back - she stated that it was in the guarantee that all bottles had to be sent in. If I had just gone along with it, they would have gotten away with it, but, with her on the phone, I pulled up the guarantee on the website and had her go through it as well. It was never stated that the used bottles had to be returned also. I was finally able to get them to allow a full refund sending back 3 unopened and 1 partially used bottle.

The good: Tastes pretty good.

The bad: Doesn't help with energy, skin conditioning, hair conditioning, or any of the other claims and the money-back guarantee has to be fought for.

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

Company Response from Gundry MD

Hi Tami! I'm Aria from Gundry MD. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. I wanted to touch on some of the points you made throughout your review. First, I'm so sorry to hear that you felt this way through the checkout process. It is never our intention to make a customer feel this way. We offer multiple deals throughout the checkout process to ensure that each customer is receiving the best deal possible. We take these complaints seriously, so I have taken note of your experience and we will do everything we can to ensure that we improve the customer experience! In addition, I'm so sorry to hear that you and your husband did not experience the results you had expected. As with all products, we do understand that they may work well for some and not for others.

Regarding our refund policy, it is industry standard that we ask for customers to return the products if requesting a full refund, as to ensure that you gave the product a fair trial. Our refund information is clearly stated on the Gundry MD website. As an extra convenience, we offer a 40% refund to customers who decide to not send back the product containers. I am so sorry for the confusion we may have caused. It sounds like this was eventually resolved, but please contact me at Aria@Gundrymd.com if you need any more assistance. Again, I am so sorry for the experience you had but please feel free to email me if you have any outstanding issues. Thank you!
