Watch out for their reorder policy

By Lee Irish, Southampton, New York, Verified Reviewer

I ordered Vital Reds from Dr. Gundry's site, and they seem to be similar to other products that are on the market, for a lot less money. But I did not know that when I purchased it.

If you decide to order from this company, be very careful not to give them a credit card number as I ordered from them six bottles, only a month ago (exactly 30 days ago). I ordered six as I wanted to give some to my daughter and some to my sister.

I have not been taking the Vital Reds long enough to see any specific results.

And not 30 days later, this morning I received a notice that they have shipped six more bottles of the same product to me and charged my charge card more than $245.

When I tried to call them on the phone, no one answered, just a machine.

Be very careful and do not give them your credit card number unless you don't care if they keep charging your card.

I do not know how good the product is, as I have not had any specific results from using it for about 15 days, but I would never order from them again.

My charge card company said this is called FRAUD.

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

Prebiothrive

By Susan Hilty, Chicago, IL, Verified Reviewer

I purchased Prebiothrive from Gundry MD. This is a really large container, and you need to take a really big scoop. It does not dissolve in water and the CLUMPS are really horrid tasting. I travel and it is not adaptable at all to do so. The scoop is too large to get the product into a water bottle!

I called the company to inform them of my concerns and ask for assistance in finding a better way to travel with my vitamins. They had no recommendations except to refund my money, but then they were only going to do 40% refund as I only had two of three containers left. Isn't that 66%?

By the way, it is not a hassle free refund, you have to return the product, and they only refund you what you return! Even though the ad clearly stated a 100% refund if you are dissatisfied for any reason at any time and have used all the product! Upon continued discussion you only need to return the containers, they can be empty (?). And you pay the postage if they give you a return authorization. This conversation went way out of bounds of the original call for help, and I will not be back!

Very disappointed in the attitudes and in the "helpful staff's" interpretation of the POLICY!

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

Hi there Susan, Aria from Gundry MD here. Thank you so much for leaving a valuable review of Prebiothrive. I am so sorry that you did not enjoy the taste of the product. May I suggest that you add Prebiothrive to a fruit smoothie? Many customers enjoy consuming it this way.

Extreme gas and no weight lose

By Jane Fortier, Westminster, SC, Verified Reviewer

My son and I have been taking this product for over two months, really giving it a fair try. The gas and bloating have been so bad for both of us. We definitely go to the bathroom more, with less aches and pains, but I am not sure if it has anything to do with the product or due to us just eating so much healthier. I don't feel it was worth the money. I would like to know exactly what this product is supposed to really do for us?

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

Hi there Jane, Aria from Gundry MD here. Thank you so much for reaching out and for giving Prebiothrive a fair try. I’m glad to hear that you and your son are both feeling better, whether it was due to Prebiothrive, or not! Prebiothrive is a pre-biotic supplement that is formulated to support a balanced digestive tract while giving you more energy and a faster metabolism. It sounds like it has done all of those things for you and your son.

If for any reason you are still dissatisfied with the product, I would be more than happy to offer you a full refund, just for giving our product a try. Please e-mail me directly at aria@gundrymd.com and I will begin the refund process. Thank you Jane!

Had to stop taking

By Johanna Carroll, California, Verified Reviewer

I was very excited to try this product. I started with a minimal amount for my body to adjust to this. Unfortunately, I have had to stop taking it. I gave it a good two weeks and was faithful in the serving amount and drinking plenty of water with it and throughout the entire day. Lots of water.

I started getting very bad cramps and actually got constipated. Yes, I did everything that was recommended and have taken all carbs out of my diet. There was nothing to absorb the product or block it from doing its job. I have been off of it for about five days and feel 100% better.

I definitely tried to make this work but had to stop.

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

I have more energy

By Barbara Anne, Florida, Verified Reviewer

I experienced some uncomfortable bloating the first week, but am glad I stuck it out. I am feeling much more energetic now after using Prebiothrive for three weeks. Also, I've noticed my cravings for junk food are weaker. They're still there, but not as strong. I can turn down a dessert! I had also been steadily gaining weight over the last few months, but now I am heading in the other direction and have lost 3 or 4 pounds.

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

Four weeks in

By Robert W. Crisci, Austin, TX, Verified Reviewer

I am a 58-year-old airline pilot. I travel for a living and spend a lot of time on the road where exercise, nutrition, and rest opportunities are not always ideal.

I decided to try this product to address some bloating and belching issue that I sometimes have after eating.

I have never been concerned with my weight. I have been spending 10-12 hours a week in the gym since I was a teenager, and I stay active with plenty of other physical activities. As a result, I have always eaten whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted it (I also take specific vitamin supplements three times daily).

When I started this product, I was still within 15 pounds of my weight when I graduated from college in 1981. I decided to start the product to coincide with a three-week vacation so that I could keep my exercise/sleep/nutrition cycles as consistent as possible.

The first change that I noticed were my eating habits:

1) I lost my nagging appetite for sweets.

2) I did not feel the need to eat as much at a single sitting.

I did not necessarily feel any extraordinary burst of energy, but I did notice two other changes in my daily behavior:

1) I no longer felt the need to take a nap in the middle of the afternoon.

2) I no longer felt the desire for caffeine throughout the day as I had for a number of years.

After three weeks, when it came time to go back to work, I got a surprise when I put on my uniform pants and they felt baggy, and my belt was now too big. I got on the scale and saw that I had only lost five pounds, but my waist had actually gone from a 34 to a 32 (I wasn't actually trying to lose any weight). I had a box of 32 waist pants that I had intended to donate because I did not think I could ever get back in them. I tried them on, and they all fit wonderfully.

The belching and bloating episodes have also diminished substantially. I have used a wide variety of supplements over the years, and I can't ever recall seeing such a profound effect in such a short time. I am now four weeks in, and so far, this one is a keeper for me.

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

Bloating and gas

By Julie Biasi, Steubenville, OH, Verified Reviewer

I've been taking this for about five days. I am so bloated and gassy. It seems that my gut is worse. I am so painfully bloated throughout the day that I can't even keep my pants buttoned. I'm going to stick with it for a few more days, but so far I'm let down.

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

Excellent product

By Laurie, Florida, Verified Reviewer

I have been using these prebiotics for a few weeks now. I started feeling changes in the first few days. First, I noticed my bowel movements are regular. At least twice to three times a day. My cravings now are non-existent. I have already lost six pounds. I just feel healthier all around. I noticed some gas at the beginning, but it only lasted a couple of days. I would highly recommend this product for overall health.

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

Poor results

By Sandy, British Columbia, Canada, Verified Reviewer

I ordered Prebiothrive on November 8, 2016, and got it later in that month when I began using it. Within a few days, I became very sick, experienced abdominal pain and gas so bad it was waking me up at night.

I spoke to a representative from the Gundry MD company who told me to try it again at a later date. I held off till after the holidays and tried it again with repeated results. After one dose I began to feel like I had the stomach flu. I contacted the company about getting the 100% refund but was told that since it was four months since my order was placed, I was no longer eligible.

Not only was this product a waste of money but caused ill effects twice.

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

Constipation plus obstruction?

By Greg, Wailuku, HI, Verified Reviewer

The only reason I am sharing this is to WARN others of an experience I am currently undergoing.

I started using this product, PREBIOTHRIVE, two days ago. The constipation started almost the same time. I luckily had a very small movement of dribble (sorry for the picture) with little content. There was pain in my lower left quadrant of my torso. This morning, I took another dose before breakfast, thinking that perhaps it was my body acclimating to the product, (MISTAKE) as now along with the lower left quadrant pain, I am experiencing upper right quadrant pain. A few minutes ago I took some Milk of Magnesia, hoping that will help the bloating, gas, and constipation.

I also called the Gundry MD support line to request an RMA to return the product. I have no doubt it is the product. The gal went through an extensive question and answer dialogue with me, and refunded my purchase. She did say that another department would be calling me with more questions, and to have the jar available to answer (manufacture date, lot number, etc.). She verified my phone numbers etc. Very responsible, concerned, and caring young lady. She suggested prune juice, so if you're starting off, have some of that available.

Most of your comments that I have read are OK, so I guess my body doesn't like one or more of the ingredients in the formula. I just hope I don't end up in the emergency room. If you're so inclined, please say a little prayer.

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