What are you really getting ? Mercury, Lead, Arsenic, Cadmium, Bromium, Chlorine, Fluorine, the list goes on!
Ok so, my father-in-law ordered this stuff in a "Healthy Start Pak" from one of the distributors.(In the kit was a 420g jar of Beyond Tangy Tangerine, Osteo-fx Plus,and Ultimate EFA Plus.) He listens to Alex Jones and when Alex said it was good for you, he wanted to try it. My father in law dropped $160 on this kit, just for me to find out later that day, that it IS NOT GOOD FOR YOU!!<br /><br />Here's why..<br /><br />The true source of the ingredients is unknown. The label says Fruit and Vegetable Powder, and Plant Derived Mineral powder. What fruits, vegetables, and plants does it come from? I was reading somewhere on one of the websites that the mineral powder comes from a mine in Utah and that is why there are all of these heavy metals in it. The effect that 'organic heavy metals' (as Youngevity says) has on the human body is unknown. I spend a lot of time researching what we should and shouldn't be doing to ourselves whether it is eating habits, excersice etc. And I have not found any supporting evidence that there are no negative side effects of 'organic heavy metals'. I have 6 mercury fillings and I feel the toxicity of it (physical and mental) so heavy metals are really a concern for me. I also had a two year old daughter who tried this and guzzled a full glass so I am a little uspet about that. Anyways, back to what's in it..<br /><br />This is the list of the other ingredients: Maltodextrin, citric acid, natural flavor and color, xanthan gum, CitriSweet (inulin, fructose, citrus peel extract), stevia.<br /><br />Maltodextrin is known to contain MSG. It has been known to cause so many health problems. citric acid's source is unknown, so is natural flavor and color. xanthan gum is a filler in the product and the inulin in the CitriSweet has been known to cause digestive problems. Stevia is so-so, I haven't done much research into it to tell you what the deal is.<br /><br />I can say off-hand that a lot of the vitamins are synthetic, which means that the body will use very little, if any of each synthetic vitamin.<br /><br />Some of the amino acids are also from questionable sources. Lysine has been known to be genetically modified and I don't see GMO Free or Non-GMO anywhere on the label.<br /><br /> I would contact the company to express my concerns if I had the time to do it, but my two year old is already eating dinner by herself as I write this in hopes that it can help someone. If anyone needs more information about anything, comment and I will help you as best as possible.<br /><br />I gave two stars instead of one because you are getting something out of it instead of nothing.<br /><br />I hope this helps!!<br /><br />P.S. I recommend using a whole food or superfood supplement if you feel you need it. I use basic organic whole food vitamins in addition to my organic plant based diet and I have no health concerns at all.
