Vital Reds

Confusing I know.

I've been taking Vital Reds for over a year now. I had been dealing with painful IBS-D symptoms for more than a year when I started Vital Reds. I spent more days in bed in pain and close to the bathroom than out of bed. I had tried probiotics, tried cutting out gluten, cutting out milk products, then all dairy, and nothing helped in a significant way. I became depressed and felt utterly hopeless having been through so many tests and scans and no help from doctors because "IBS-D, no real treatment available." A friend brought over some healthy/organic/energy type ingredients and wanted me to try this smoothie recipe thing she designed. I did get a nudge in the right direction after a few days, but within a few days, I was back in bed most days. It helped, then stopped helping.

I don't remember how I found Vital Reds. I normally roll my eyes at these kinds of claims but figured I had wasted more money on stupider things so why not try it?

Within a week I was out of bed as often as I was in bed. I experienced some energy return while taking Vital Reds daily, mixed in a smoothie with bananas and spinach (sometimes kale but it's so bitter!), and I started to experience normal bowel movements. Not every day but more days then not. For three months I saw continued improvement in regular normal bowels and energy and mood. With energy and mood came increased activity and then came increased stamina.

Having gone through the three-month supply, I decided to test the efficacy of Vital Reds so I went to the local GNC and purchased super green powder, probiotic powder, and multi vitamin for menopausal women. Within two weeks I was back in bed every day dealing with painful cramping bowel, and smapsming pelvic muscles, back on painkillers, and back to being depressed. I continued with the GNC stuff for a full month to see if perhaps it was simply an adjustment thing with my digestive system.

I gave up and ordered a year supply of Vital Reds. Within a week I was back to being out of bed more often than in and within a month I was rarely in bed.

But a few months later the symptoms returned. I noticed if I skipped a day with Vital Reds, the following day my bowels stayed quiet but also didn't move. So I started using Vital Reds every other day, and that gave me a kind of every other day schedule. But then the every other day with symptoms turned into every day once again. So I started taking Vital Reds every third day, then every fourth. But now I was constipated and barely able to have a bowel movement. It seems my digestion can't make up its mind!

So now I use Vital Reds like a laxative.

I can't say this product is bad because it did help me. I don't know if my first batch of Vital Reds was made with better ingredients or if my digestion is contrary and doesn't like to be predictable or dependable.

Back in March, I ordered Vital Reds. I kept forgetting to take it, and my eczema is so bad it is bleeding on the back of my legs. So I put a note by my blood pressure medicine and wrote "red to stop the red." I started every morning taking it with my blood pressure medicine, and it is now two weeks and I can barely see any red scaly patches, and there has been no bleeding from the third day I took red. I will never miss another day. No more creams, steroids, or bleeding. Thank you for this product, although I would not be upset if the price were reduced some, it is worth every penny, but I still wouldn't mind.

After consuming Vital Reds for four months daily, I have not seen any dramatic improvements in my health, but that wasn't my expectation anyway because I'm already very healthy. I was simply looking to increase my odds of staying healthy and Vital Reds seemed to fit the bill of my needs based on my own research.

HOWEVER, I introduced Vital Reds to my 20-year-old daughter about 6-8 weeks ago, and her health has appeared to improve dramatically. She has suffered from debilitating sleep and chronic fatigue disorders since grade school. Typically she suffered episodes of what we called “shut down” that rendered her unable to get out of bed for anywhere from a few days to a week to 10 days. Recovery from those episodes left her in a reduced state of energy and productivity, and so she has been unable to stay in college or keep a steady job. She also would function in an agitated state and appear like she's "not with it" before and after episodes.

Since taking Vital Reds along with a women’s multivitamin, and a probiotic, she has been consistently more vibrant than she has been in years. She has been able to consistently work at her current job and even take double shifts from time to time. Her mood, attitude, and energy are clearly all improved greatly.

While we can also potentially attribute some of her improvements to a more stable living condition (i.e., less stress) since she moved home with us recently, we really think the improvement in her health is attributable, at least in part, if not significantly, due to the Vital Reds fueling her system with many things she has lacked for a long period of time in her diet, and which were difficult to implement until the Vital Reds.

So in lieu of going into long history and great detail of correlations to lifestyle and diet, we believe that Vital Reds has been the primary factor in the dramatic improvement in our daughter's health. If she continues through the remainder of this year without experiencing any of her shut down episodes, it will be the first year that has happened since she was in elementary school and we will fuel her with Vital Reds forever in that case.

I purchased a three-month supply of Vital Reds after the infomercial appeared on my computer. I don't even know why it came up, but I found Dr. Gundry to appear honest and therefore decided to make the investment. As he pointed out, purchasing the fresh produce is more costly.

At checkout, there were endless offers before I was able to pay. I eventually decided to buy the prebiotics as well since I have colitis.

I have not only not felt any of the advertised benefits, but after 45 days my colitis has actually been worse than it has in 6+ months! Granted this could be a coincidence but I don't believe so.

I also am most disappointed in no energy boost from Vital Reds.

I had faith these products would work, but in the off chance they didn't the company of Dr. Gundry offers a 100% money back guarantee, right?

Well, that hasn't been the case.

I am frustrated and disturbed by this company's poor customer service. I now have to pay to return the product. Even the empty containers!

Do not purchase. Very disappointed and frustrated!

I have tried everything for constipation and IBS. I thought I would give this a try because of the money back guarantee. I called my order in and spoke to a woman who was beyond helpful. I really don't believe she was just telling me what I wanted to hear because I did not tell her my problems and why I was ordering it until much later in the call.

I've been drinking the Vital Reds for a little over a week now and have regular bowel movements, without any other stimulants. And honestly, it really tastes delicious. Yes, I am on an auto ship, but I can cancel anytime and can send everything back for a full refund. I am impressed so far. Five stars here.

I'm a nurse and started taking Vital Reds about three weeks ago, and I take it every single day. I work night shifts, which as those of you who work night shifts know, it really wreaks havoc with your body. I really struggled with my energy and had a lot of brain fog every day.

I can't say that I have TONS of energy from it, but it really has helped me be more mentally focused. When I wake up from sleeping during the day, I'm not foggy headed anymore, which is a big deal for me. Before Vital Reds, I really had an issue with doing my charting. It seemed like there was a disconnect between my brain and my hand. There has been some improvement in that area for which I am thankful.

It still does seem expensive, but I'm hoping that in the long run, I will continue to feel better and that it will be worth it. My friend that sells Juice Plus was a little perturbed that I wanted to try this first. lol. I like that it's easy. Just a scoop of powder into a bottle of water. I hate taking pills and capsules. And it really does taste good. I've taken some other products that really tasted horrible.

I researched this product and then called to ask if it might interfere with IBS. No, it would help because of the digestive help. Anyone with IBS is grasping for "help," so I saw this as a good idea.

It was not. After one drink I started having diarrhea, and it has now put me in the ER. Of course, I sent it back! I still have to pay shipping, which makes me upset since I now have a hospital bill also!

Please think carefully about buying this. It doesn't even get a one star in my book.

I had mistakenly made two three-month orders of Vital Reds and immediately canceled the order via PalPay. However, the money had been taken out of my account despite PayPal confirming that my order to Dr. Gundry Vital Reds had been canceled. I waited for my funds to be reimbursed into my account, but instead, six jars of Vital Reds arrived at my door.

I'm glad for those who have been helped by this product, but after five months of taking Vital Reds daily, I haven't experienced the benefits promised by this product, not nearly! I requested for the guarantee with no question asked, as advertised and received an email stating that I would be refunded for a three-month order within 3 to 5 days.

Twelve business days have gone by and one unanswered reply as well, and still no record of a refund in my account. Extremely disappointed!

I was experiencing fluid retention in both knees coupled with painful calve muscles that made it difficult and painful to go up and down steps, much less get up and out of a chair. My knees were drained bi-monthly yielding about 40 ml of fluid from each knee. I started the Gundry Lectin Free Diet and Vital Reds program in November of 2016 and have never looked back because I am now pain and fluid free and can move around like a normal person with knees that are no longer swollen.

In addition, I started on the Prebiothrive and am now even feeling better. I don't bonk out at 2 PM and get sleepy and tired every day and have more energy. Thank you, Dr. Gundry, for getting my normal life back!

I've been talking Vital Reds for a week now. While I've noticed an increase in energy, for the last two days, I've been waking up with slight headaches that come and go throughout the day. I've also lost three pounds in the last four days. I'm on high blood pressure and anti-anxiety meds.

I would really like to continue talking Vital Reds, but since it isn't FDA approved I'm not sure if it's worth the possible interaction with my meds and getting the headaches that didn't start until taking Vital Reds. Are there any suggestions on how I should be taking this supplement? For example, should I take it every other day or with more water or something?

I love everything about Vital Reds!

When I first started using them, I felt like I wanted to kick up my heels as I walked to work. I didn't know how yucky I was feeling until I started feeling so energetic. I had been very bloated after I ate for a long time. My doctor said it was nothing to worry about.

After taking Vital Reds, my stomach is flat after a meal and my clothes fit better. I put Vital Reds in my morning smoothie, and so does my husband. We both shed ten pounds without even trying.

I had the chance to meet Dr. Gundry in New York at his book launch. I was very impressed with his humbleness and knowledge. What an incredible man! Vital Reds tastes so good on its own with water.
