WARNING !!!  VITAMINS FOR SUCKERS !!!  WARNING !!!
A friend who knows I compete in Triathlons asked me if he should buy this stuff called Beyond Tangy Tangerine being "Promoted" to increase energy and lose weight.  I had never heard of it so we went to the company's web site to check it out.<br /><br />First thing I noticed was that this stuff was "REEE---HEALY EXPENSIVE"!!!!<br /><br />I pulled a bottle of generic multi vitamins out of my cupboard to compare ingredients and cost.<br /><br />My generic multi vitamin & mineral supp cost approx. 4 cents a serving.<br />Beyond Tangy Tangarine approx. cost a WHOPPING $2.50 a serving for a 100lb person!!!!!<br />WTF !!! This couldn't be true so we checked our math and our numbers were correct.<br /><br />HOLY CRAP!!!  These vitamins were like SIX THOUSAND PERCENT more expensive!!!<br /><br />After more research it turns out that Beyond Expensive ... I mean ... Beyond Tangy Tangerine is part of some kind of selling plan where the sales people can win "Dream Cars and Vacations" for conning lots of people into buying the stuff.  This looks to be a Hard Core Sales Business complete with Celebrity Endorsers pushing this stuff on the trusting public.<br /><br />My buddy decided against taking on another monthly car payment by buying this stuff and was more than a little embarrassed he was almost suckered by a cheezy sales pitch based on deception.<br /><br />If you have a bottle of Multi Vitamins laying around you can go to the company's website and compare the Supplement Facts in less than 5 minutes for FREE.  Below is the Comparison we did between the two Fact Sheets.<br /><br />Supplement Facts Comparison of Beyond Expensive Tangy Tangerine to my bottle of generic Multi vitamin<br /><br />---------------------------------------Approx. cost per serving-----------Vitamins & Minerals listed<br />Beyond Tangy Tangarine----------$2.50---------------------------------21<br />COSTCO generic daily multi-------$0.04 (yes 4 cents)----------------24<br /><br />As for effortlessly losing weight and increasing energy by just chuggin the stuff, I visited CONSUMER REPORTS website and they had this to say about vitamin supplements:<br /><br />"IGNORE SPECIAL CLAIMS AND ADD-ONS.  CLAIMS FOR BENEFITS SUCH AS WEIGHT CONTROL OR INCREASED ENERGY ARE GENERALLY UNSUBSTANTIATED."<br /><br />THE BOTTOMLINE:  If I were you I would grab my wallet and run as far away from this product and the people associated with it as I could !!!<br /><br />As far as your health is concerned, from my own personal experience I have enjoyed excellent health by:<br />(1) doing some type of exercise with music every day,<br />(2) eating real (unprocessed) food every day<br />(3) taking a generic U.S.P. certified multivitamin & mineral supplement every day.<br /><br />UPDATE: I was curious about all the "glowing" five star reviews for Beyond Tangy Tangerine here on Amazon so I looked a little deeper at the reviewers themselves.<br /><br />The majority have ONLY ONE product review in their profile, that being Beyond Tangy Tangerine. Contrast this with the profiles of "one star" reviewers who have many, many product reviews in their profiles.<br /><br />And of the few "five star" reviewers with more than one review in their profiles, many entered all their reviews on the same day!!!<br /><br />My only conclusion is that nearly ALL of the five star reviews for this product are FAKE or SHILL REVIEWS!!!  Not only is this product grossly over-priced but the people selling it are using DECEPTION here on Amazon to pump up its customer rating.<br /><br />You can easily check this out yourself for free by clicking on a sample set of five star reviewer's profiles and then contrasting those with a sample set of one star reviewer's profiles.<br /><br />vincit omnia veritas Canoeist<br />.
