GI doc reviews: Activated You Morning Complete
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 авг 2024
- In this video I am reviewing the ingredient list of the Activated You Morning Complete product. This was a requested review. The goal of this review is to give you guys some background information about the ingredients. I have not tried the product and given the issues surrounding aloe vera I would not be comfortable doing so. I think an ingredient review is helpful since you should all be considering what is in every supplement before ingesting it. I personally do not think that the reviews of random individuals on RUclips (for example) are enough to convince someone to take a supplement. Everyone's medical history, medications, family history, reasons for using a supplement, etc is different. Even if I did love a supplement you should still do your own background reading and talk with your health care professional to see if it would be right for you. At the end of the day, you can do whatever you want - it is your body!

So I’ve been taking this for two weeks now, and I feel fantastic. If you don’t feel like crap regularly maybe you won’t notice anything. But I’ve been on this steady decline of just feeling really crappy, sooo tired all the time, bloated, and (I feel like the commercial) for no reason because I ate good… I didn’t overeat, I didn’t eat hardly any junk food. I eat my fruits and veggies. I’ve complained for years to my doctors about it… but they’ve got nothing because I’m not sick. But I know in my gut I was on my way. Some days my head felt so foggy and heavy I couldn’t formulate a plan for the day… I was worthless. I had some headaches taking this stuff the first week… but now I honestly feel amazing. So I love it and I’m a fan.
@SarahMiley Thank you for sharing! I am glad to hear you are feeling well!
I’m glad I found your channel. Thanks for doing the research on the product. Love seeing scientific evidences on this stuff.
Thank you for the info and your hard work.
Thank you! I do take meds for RA that necessitate having my liver panels drawn regularly. Knowing now what you have said in this video, I’ll be steering clear of this product.
I love this video! Hope you’ll make more video like that🤩
Thank you. I was wondering about this product as RUclips ads seem to be pushing it. I have a scientific background and your video reminded me there's no data to support Probiotics. The Aloe Vera is very concerning too. And you are right, fresh fruit and vegetables are the way - thanks for reminding me of the common sense approach! I don't want to take a chance on a supplement to increase my chances of cancer or kidney or liver failure.
I'm loving your channel! You have already mentioned other channels that talk about health and challenged them scientifically. This is science! Science is made up of contestations. I'm looking forward to seeing a video about magnesium and its side effects. Thanks!
Hi Max! Glad you're finding the information thought provoking! I will add magnesium to my list of topics to do :D
Thank-you for your review.
I tried it for 2.5 weeks and felt continually nauseous, sick and I ended up w/ a migraine.
I have superfood and usually I feel refreshed and revitalized by them.
I love good food, such as earth candy aka veggies.
So feeling worst and worst made me decide to stop.
It’s been 3 days since I stopped taking it.
I am feeling much better and my digestion is beginning to improve.
I wrote them to return unused product and what’s left of the product I stopped taking.
I even told them the ingredients that were actually making me sick, turmeric, cinnamon, pepper & spinach.
I love them they don’t love me!
I have not heard a word from the company after I wrote them yesterday morning.
Did they get back to you?
I am glad you broke down the ingredient list. I couldn't readily find an ingredient list and didn't realize it has caffeine in it. That's not a supplement, that's a stimulant. I want to be able to have a healthy body that can maintain energy levels without stimulants. That's a big red flag to me. Of course it's going to make you feel "energized" but that will not be better for health overall. How disappointing.
As long as I don't crash after I would be happy. I will find out soon enough 😂
A supplement is anything “supplementing” your intake.. so yeah, even tho caffeine is classified as a stimulant, its also a supplement. and caffeine isnt even bad for you like it sounds like youre suggesting
Caffeine has both good and bad qualities to it. One of the issues I have with products like Activated You and Plexus is that they claim to give you energy because of whatever woo they are trying to peddle. Well NO DUH - the caffeine is giving the consumer a boost 🤣
Thanku glad I came across a GI doctor 🙏
Thank you so much
Absolutely brilliant good information
HI Dr. Hansen, thank you so much for your honest review regarding this product, the information you provided was very helpful in terms of understanding what this product gives and the issues surrounding it. I'm so glad I saw your video before purchasing this product. I didn't realize this product isn't FDA approved, as well as the possible complications that can arise from taking this product. No thank you! Like you said and I agree, it's better to just eat whole and natural foods instead.
Hi Maureen, Sola here from UK. I just been looking into the product as well and liked it that its natural based. Cos we live in a modern world, so best to get as natural as possible that fits each persons lifestyle and circumstance. I have a science background and do a lot of research usually. About FDA approval though, just wondering as am not perfect, does FDA approval include supplements like these? Cos product is not a food? So am just wondering if it actually comes under FDA anyway? I would like to ask Dr Tanya too
FDA does NOT approve supplements and never will, unless they are pharmaceutical.
I order this product and was very exited to try it then I find this video so I returned it right away. Thanks.
Were you hoping that it was going to help you with something specific??
Thank you for your extensive research on this! I definitely will stop taking this product ...
Thank you for taking time to post your analysis. Apart from whole foods (because I sometimes question the quality of what we get in our grocery store), do you know of any products that are sourced well and serve a similar purpose (gut health, energy, and/or help with bloating) that would be better in your opinion?
Though also, I am curious, it’s stated that Maggie and/or her doctor did all this ‘studying’ of their ingredients- are you thinking that the studies they may have looked into are void or nonexistent, concerning milk thistle and probiotics, perhaps?
Would you be willing to do a review of their Essential Skin Food product?
Sorry for all the questions-its so frustrating finding answers to things when so many companies are simply trying to sell.
Thanks for pointing out that important fact about checking if it is FDA approved I’ll check next time
No supplement is FDA approved. This doctor also explains this to someone who had a question here about FDA.
Also the FDA can't be trusted.
Hello Tawnya,
I loved the way you examined about the Activated You. I would like to see if you can verify and check about that RYZE mushroom coffee. I would like to see if this is a good product please.
@user-jb9mn5ti2h I will put it on the list of reviews to do!
@@TawnyaHansenMDMSc thank you much 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hello, I just wanted to add when I received this product it came with a lead warning… I don’t know what is in the product but it kind of freaked me out. I reached out to Activated You and they reassured me it’s okay and safe to use but didn’t state anything about the lead warning or what’s in the product. Just wanted to add if anyone is interested! I don’t know if it does but definitely something people should be aware of!
Hello Dr, Sola here from UK. Thanks for this educating review. I just been looking into the product as well and liked it that its natural based.

Hi Sola! No the FDA doesn't review any of the supplements. Thus, the companies don't need to prove that the bottle contents match what the label says. Drugs that are regulated through the FDA also have to go through special testing protocols, submit paperwork, etc. Supplements are under the food category and because of that, don't go through the FDA. Once a company starts to make health claims about the product - this is when they would be considered a drug. You'll notice that there is always an "*" on supplement labeling to tell you that their claims are not FDA approved, not meant to treat illness, etc. Thus, they are allowed to imply that their product as has benefits as long as the "*" with small font disclaimers is present. I hope that is helpful!
The powder is not that bad. I bought the lemon flavored and it tastes as good as you could possibly make it. Unfortunately, something in it causes me to have explosive diarrhea. It seems obvious from your research that the cause is the aloe. Do you have a prebiotic/postbiotic supplement you'd recommend? I've been learning a lot about the link between a healthy gut biome and weight loss. Most of my education is from Dr Gundry. He has a product that he sells but is so expensive.
@jlpeders Thank you for your comment! I generally recommend that people get pre/postbiotics from food. I haven't come across a supplement that I feel is better than whole foods.
Very helpful. Can you please review Ancient Nutrition Supergreens powders? Much appreciated.
I will check this out!
Thank you. I’m so glad I didn’t order it.
Can you review supplements for pregnancy?
I second this
I will add this to my list! :)
Thank you for this. I was about to purchase it but saw this video and didnt. I have stomach issues already...constipation isnt one of them so I'm glad I didnt order it.
Please tell us how to tackle insulin resistence along with hypothyroidism. Weight loss is a challenge and I'm desperate now...facing fatigue, stomach issues, infertility, low iron, low vit d. Iron supplements arent working anymore. I'm lost seriously 😔

Is this available in the Philippines
@JenniegraceBignornia I'm not sure if it is. I would check their website to see where they ship to!
Hi. I live in Singapore and they do ship Internationally. Shipping is free in the US but 9.99 for international. I think that is a good price and I am so happy I am back on this product after running out- I couldn't find anything that helped me with gut health. Hope this helps :-)
It does help me keep regular but wow does it taste awful! I bought 6 months worth and then was surprised to find they auto charged and sent me ANOTHER 6 month worth one month later. I’m truly trying to finish this but it tastes so bad I struggle every morning to get it down and there is nothing to mix it with to make it taste better. 🤢
I add in Crystal Light flavor drops (blackberry lemonade) and it’s good! I have the apple cinnamon one.
Try it with orange juice
I have the apple cinnamon flavor, which one do you have? I love the taste and use my shaker bottle to mix with water and drink first thing in the morning before coffee and food. You can try to add it to your smoothie or another juice to help the flavor? It says not to mix with hot drinks. I think since everyone is different, it can affect us depending on what we eat throughout the day. Whole foods is best for sure, but when I can't get the super greens in, I will drink this and my bowel movements are regular and I have seen great gut results. I hope this helps :-)
I love you
Do you know for a fact that that form of Aloe is in the product???
@SanBan Thank you for your comment! I actually say in the video that, "I wonder if it is the aloe latex" that is in the product @ 4:18/15:17. I also give my rationale for the speculation. Lots of companies don't give complete clarity when it comes to their ingredient list so as the consumer, we are left to do our own research and then have to speculate as to what is actually in the product.
No. There's speculation but not certainty.
Would you consider review clean makeup?
Hi Bella! Unfortunately, I am not anywhere near an expert on make up! If I come across someone who does these types of reviews, I will share their channel with you!!

It may work. Not sure. I bought it but it tastes awful. You should pass on this one if you’re big on taste. My suggestion: eat more fruits and veggies, eat clean. Stay away from restaurants
Save your 40 bucks. It tastes awful.
Anything that is good for u taste awful thus why people don’t get enough of the proper Nutrients in the body needs. It’s a health drink🤷🏻♀️ yea it’s not gonna taste the best but u can deff handle for 2 mins a day for a greater outcome
