Activive

Activive – Three questions to start.

activive

If you are like me you will have three main questions about Activive.

1) Does it really work?

2) How does it work?

3) Is it worth giving it a try?

I needed to answer these questions about Activive for myself and so I thought I do some thorough research and present it here on my Activive blog. Here are the fruits of my findings.

Firstly this is what people were claiming about Activive:

  • That it is specially formulated to contain the safest of ingredients which have been used by millions of people for over thousands of years.

Here is the info I could find on Activive ingredients.

“Glucosamine Sulfate: This comes from shellfish and is effective in easing joint pain.”

“Anogeissus Latifolia: This comes from the bark of a tree in India. It has the effect of increasing energy.”

“Beta Glucan: Comes from certain mushrooms such as Shiitake and Reishi. This substance is proven to boost the immune system.”

“Arabinogalactan: is a polysaccharide found in Echinacea and Mountain Larch. It has the properties of helping the digestive system.”

“Cyamopsis Tetragonoloba is a legume, also called Guar. It comes from India and is a strong digestive aid.”

We can see from the partial list above that the ingredients in Activive are natural with some very interesting properties. Based on this information, Activive does live up to its first claim.

  • That Activive is completely safe to consume in any quantity.

Being all natural ingredients without fillers and certainly no steroids I am happy that this claim is most likely true. It certainly was my least concern as I would never take more than the professionally prescribed dose.

  • That Activive is an all-natural supplement that not only helps you boost your energy levels, but also maintains your stamina so that you can work longer, play harder, and perform better.

Apparently there was a small test that backed this up, see the next point, but the personal comment I’ve listed at the end are maybe the best testimony.

  • That it is 97% effective at reversing the complex symptoms of Fibromyalga by balancing your cellular metabolism and addressing all the root causes.

The makers of Activive performed two studies. The first was to query past users. The results confirmed the claim that 97% of users reported positive effects. 91% of those queried said the symptoms were completely controlled.

The second study was more scientific. It was a double-blind placebo controlled study. 50 subjects, with CFS and fibromyalgia syndromes took part in this experiment. They were instructed to take 2 pills a day for 8 weeks. The subjects showed increases in activity and well being, along with other benefits.

The results of these studies are impressive but please remember that only 50 subjects were used so maybe a more comprehensive study should be carried out in assessing the benefits and possible side effects of Activive.

  • That Activive is an advanced combination of essential “super sugars” guaranteed to dramatically increase your energy levels safely with no side-effects.

Apparently a search was done on each of the above-mentioned ingredients to see what research had to say about their side effects. Of all the ingredients, Glucosamine and Arabinogalactan (contains galactose) have had reports of mild and temporary gastrointestinal complaints. It must be noted that these side effects were, according to research, very mild. Based on this information, the claim that Activive has no side effects can seen to be true.

  • That it is the only solution that attacks your Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia Syndrome from the inside out and attacks the root cause from every direction.

I’m not sure I’m happy with the claim ‘the only solution’ but it is certainly one of the best known. As for it working from the inside out I guess that’s because you take it orally rather than as a lotion.

  • That it restores the energy, which allows your muscles to lengthen, releasing you from pain and allowing you to enjoy deeper sleep patterns again.

Better sleep patterns is certainly a side benefit of taking Activive when it works in reducing your fatigue. As for Activive lengthening the muscles I can’t find anything to back that up at the moment but I assume this is the way it works. Seeing as all their other claims can at least in somepart be substantiated

  • If Active does not work for you can get your money back.

This was the easiest the substantiate. The producers of Activive Micornutra offer a 90 guarantee which they honor without question. They are a multi million dollar company and customer goodwill is vital to them.

These are great claims about the food supplement Activive. (please remember that is all it is, it can’t be branded or sold as anything else. In fact I found it quite comforting when I realised that it was not a chemical medicine.)

For me the simple answer was to try it and hold fast to the 90 day guarantee. If it doesn’t work get your money back. But a word of warning always buy direct from the manufacturer (in this case www.micronutra.com).
