Yes, we have more energy, but also a dull aching feel in our heads, and we are feeling foggy since we started the Vital Reds. We are also tasting a strong artificial flavoring such as saccharine. I do not see it on the label, but it has this strong flavor of it and is difficult to drink because of that. I would like to know where that flavor comes from, and why we get the headaches. I would like some answers before recommending it to a friend.
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

My wife got bad diarrhea and upset stomach after taking Vital Reds. She is Gluten tolerant, and they never mentioned that when we purchased Vital Reds.
She has not noticed any change with her increased energy at all. I've been fine with it, with the exception of loose stools, and maybe a few little stomach issues after taking it.
My other question is, after reading some reviews, people have said they don't get any response from them when they have issues with their product, which tells me it would be kind of a red flag. I will be curious to see if my review will be tossed in the trash can. Thanks.
I don't know if I would recommend it to anyone.

I was siked to try this product after watching the long video by Dr. Gundry. I research every product I try, and this one seemed legit. The taste was better than I expected. It's gritty and does not dissolve easily, so I put it in a shaker with ice, and that helped a bit.
As far as the benefits, I honestly feel like I'm more tired when I'm on it. I don't know if that's from the drink, but I do know that it does not energize me. Maybe I do feel less bloating, but it is hard to tell. I did initially lose a couple of pounds, but I am not sure if that's from my better diet.
Overall, I don't feel the benefits promised after a month, but I'm willing to try it another month and then have blood work done to see if there are any improvements internally. If so, I'll continue on it and leave a better review. If no improvements, I'll be done with the product.
By the way, it looks like I have to check if I would recommend to a friend or not. I would like to chose "I'm not sure," but that's not an option, so I'll check yes, to say it's worth a try.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I liked this and thought it tasted yummy. I am not so sure if it helped at all with the energy, but I could not find out as it would upset my stomach when I would drink it. I do have acid reflux, and sadly, this just made it worse.

Hello Brittney, thank you for taking the time to write us a review. I am glad to hear that you enjoyed the taste and were so eager to take the product. We recommend speaking with your physician prior to starting any new supplement, especially if pre-existing conditions occur. Vital Reds does contain fruit polyphenols and green tea extract, both of which can be acidic for people with an extra sensitivity. Please feel free to email me personally at aria@gundrymd.com if you have any other comments. Thank you Brittney.

I had a stomach upset in the second week after taking it. I don't know why (?). I did stop and continued, but it's still not working for me.
It's my fourth week that I did return my order but until now I did not get my refund. Please let me know. Thank you.

I was impressed with Dr. Gundry's videos and bought one tube of Vital Reds. I have REACTIVE Hypoglycemia and have been keeping a food diary for the last eleven weeks. I wanted to believe Vital Reds would improve my energy levels. In fact, I think it does, but for me, there were side effects.
For example, at the weekend I was busy in the garden and ate a bar of dark chocolate with 70% plus cocoa, after while taking a shower I felt light headed and tried to lie down, but fainted on the way to the bedroom. Coincidentally, I had already ordered a further three tubs of Vital Reds. Because I am in the UK, I have now paid a further £41 ($52.99) in import duty.
I apologize, but I do not think Vital Reds agrees with me, and I think it makes my blood sugar rise too quickly and then crashes. Please, may I have a refund for four tubs of Vital Reds? What is their return address for a refund? Thank you.
P.S. I have stated facts in this review, and I would suggest any person wishing to buy Vital Reds needs to look at their reasons.

I have been taking Vital Reds for five months. At first, it worked great. I felt more energetic and my digestive system was working much better and I was more regular.
My concern for the last couple weeks though is I have felt light-headed, foggy, and dizzy when I'm at work. I move around a lot because I am a server. I also have been getting headaches. I am wondering if it is this vitamin supplements. I stopped taking it for a couple of days and was feeling better, but then took some this morning and the light-headedness came back. I thought I would sit and look for some reviews on other side effects. I see that there are some other people that have had the same issue.
I'm not sure if I should continue taking it. Maybe I am not taking it right, or it is shooting my sugar up? I tried to eat with it before I take it. I mix it up with half juice and half water, and I drink it all at once.
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I am 64 years old. I have been taking Vital Reds and also Primal Plants every morning for about six months.
I have not lost any weight. I don't feel energetic. In fact, I can't discern anything beneficial. Maybe my complexion is slightly better. I am not sure.
I had some concern about taking both the Reds and the Primal Plants because that would give me 200% of my daily requirement of many nutrients in addition to any I might consume during the day. I called the Gundry Company, and they said it was no problem.
The reason I keep taking it is because I need to do everything I can to maintain my health. I continue to buy the products hoping that the ingredients are helping me on the inside, even if I can't tell anything on the outside.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

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