Fucothin -Have you tried this product?

i've seen the ads for it... curious as well if anyone has info! :

Quote:
In WHole FOods they have Fucothin for about 42-45.00 a bottle.

Quote:
You can get it online for about $35. www.vitacost.com has $5 shipping, so if you ordered some other stuff as well it would make sense. All the Garden of Life products are much cheaper online. The protein powder is like $23 right now--it was almost $40 at my co-op.

Can we have another update, Mama?? :

I'm in Canada. I don't think there are any Whole Foods stores here.

From what I remember it's about $65.00 a bottle.

Does anyone know if they have a customer satisfaction guarantee?

Thanks for sharing that! It's good to know.

I got the goods, mamas.

I run a health food store and I can give you all that info. I've been selling it since it came out and have had SEVERAL people come back with good results. What I really appreciate about those results is that the loss is not TOO fast so people have a better chance of keeping it off. The suggested retail price is $49.95, although I see you can find it cheaper at the big corporate type sources. Right now, they have a promotional package that has the fucothin along with a sample of one of their bars and a trial pack of perfect food and perfect meal. They also gave out a bunch of books to give away called "The Perfect Diet" by Jordan Reuben. Each store can decide on their own what to do with the books (they retail for I think about $30). I have chosen to give one free with a purchase of fucothin so maybe you can talk to the people at your local health food store about it. I imagine most stores will sell them because that's $500 free profit. They are also making a fucothin snack bar now. It's pretty good to me--$2.99 bar.

There are also knock off type products. There's one by Maritzmayer Labs called Fucoxanthin. It's the same amount of seaweed as fucothin, along with pomegranite and hoodia. I can't remember the exact price (I'm at home right now), but there are 2 sizes that range $25-$35 or so. No feedback on those yet, I just started carrying them. I would NOT take this one while nursing because of the hoodia. Might curb the little babe's appetite.

As far as with nursing, eh... When I asked them of course they gave me the legal eagle answer: "consult your physician". My line of thinking is that it's seaweed. I don't think it would do any harm, personally. I can't tell my customers that (although sometimes I say "I'm telling you as a friend, but do your own research"). That said, I'd like to try it but just haven't put forth the effort to do so yet.

The bars look okay. It's all the same good ole garden of life ingredients, coconut oil, almond butter, etc. Good stuff. Chewy texture.

If you guys have any questions about it I'd be happy to help you.

I also found at www.beyondprobiotics.com that you can get bigger kits for $99 and $150 that include the book, cleanse, bars and protein shake.

The $150 looks like a great deal if you like the protein shake. It includes 2 bottles of fucothin and 2 of the protein drink.

When you get up to 3 pills 3x a day it gets pretty pricey.

www.perfectweightamerica.com has some menu plans and resources.

I think I might try it with by birthday money. I've never taken any diet supplements before so it feels kind of weird.

I think I'll start with the cleanse.

Update! We also have a new raw vitamin (perfect for raw vegans) line coming out soon and I'll need a few mamas who might be interested in trying the dieters formula as well!

Please PM me if you're interested with your contact info (addy, phone, e-mail) and I'll get info out as soon as I get it from the HQ's.

Thanks for all the replies mamas! Keep them coming!

Again-I'm a troll free zone!
