Natures Code Vitamin/Supplements discontinued

QVCER999 — Tue, 31 Dec 2013 01:06:18 GMT

A couple of days ago I found out that my auto delivery for Nature's Code 90 Day Vitamin System for Women Under 50 has ended (A222091). I called CS to skip an order and she told me that was the last and final shipment for this product. She didn't have any other information - just that it was no longer available to purchase. After checking online, there are just 3 Nature's Code products to purchase - none of which are the vitamin/supplement packets. Does anyone have any info on this? Thank you. (Seeing I was on auto delivery for several years, it would have been nice to receive some notification that this product was going to be discontinued. Shame on QVC for not taking a proactive approach in this matter!)

This morning new ones are up - single soft gel tabs instead of a packet and looks like formulated by the safslim lady. Haven't compared the formula to the old one.

WOW! That is a TOTAL reformulation. The only ones with the same amounts are the biotin and the zinc. Most have dropped significantly. Very interesting.

I had forgotten all about Natures Code, i use to take them years ago and switched to Andrew Lessman vitamins, because Natures Code was like swallowing rocks.

Thanks. Im recording both shows to hear what he has to say about the new formulations.

Hopefully we'll have good hosts who shut up and let him talk.

I really liked how I felt on Natur'e Code. I was on Nature's Code for years and tried Andrew Lessman's packets and I didn't feel as good/the same way as I did on Nature's Code.

I then went to Centrum Silver for a while and then went back to Nature's Code because I really like the way I feel on those.

I have my physical this month, so after I get my bloodwork back I'll see what the doctor thinks I should do.

I took the package label to my doctor one visit. Her comment was no one can absorb that much calcium at one time. So I split the white pills and take them at different times. My doc just had me start taking extra D3 to what I get from the Natures Code and regular diet. My Vitamin B numbers were really good this time - probably not so much in the future since that is one of the vitamins they have lowered the amounts on. B is good for stress! And boy do I need it. I had switched from under 50 to over 50 during my time on auto delivery. I too will be on a search for a new vitamin once the Q runs out of the old formulation. Have a brand new box to start in a week or 2. I did not like the guy who replacde Dr. Taub. He looked plastic to me and seemed kind of creepy. I do not know anything about the new rep other than the little bio on the page for the new vitamins.

He didn't both me. I have his cookbook and I have made 4 or 5 things from it and they are excellent. In fact, I keep making those same recipes over and over again I can't move on to new ones.

I suscribe to his newsletter as well and it has recipes in it, too.

I think the website is called Optimum Wellness.

Hmm - Some tasty looking recipes on that site. Which ones are your favorites VaBelle (assuming they are on the website and not just in his cookbook)?

Many years ago when I first saw this vitamin I ordered it. I put the calcium ones in vinegar and watched to see how long it took to break down. I think I'd read that this should happen within 30 minutes. It did not happen with their calcium pills so I stopped buying them.

I posted this years ago and several folks blasted me. But this is what I experienced so I never reordered them. Perhaps their calcium breaks down better now. I buy my calcium from my local natural food store.

I just received my AD shipment of over 50 vitamins this past Friday. They've not said anything to me about stopping them. I've taken them for the past 10 years.

I'm on track to get a Jan. 19th shipment...haven't received a cancellation either.

Didn't QVC promise to never raise the price of Nature's Code vitamins as long as you continued on their auto-delivery program? I guess we know how they'll manage that... give people less.

I'd like to know what their going to do with all those people on auto-delivery that expect a comprehensive formula rather than a One-A-Day or Centrum knockoff.

I cannot believe that these new vitamins showing on the website today are supposed to replace the vitamin packs. There is no comparison. I am going to have to switch brands if they don't keep the packs. Dumb decision to ""fix"" something that wasn't broken in my opinion. I can get a good once a day multiple vitamin anywhere. The packs are why people buy these. They changed my life and it is disappointing that they are being replaced with this new product.

These are from Colorado Fit Kitchen cookbook:

Sunflower Burgers (made with sunflower seeds and brown rice).

Indian Hills Veggie Burger

Front Range Stuffed Peppers

These are the ones I flagged because I make them over and over again. There are a few more I've made more than once, but I don't have them flagged so I'd have to go through the book to find them (and flag them!).

I really like this cookbook.

There is a blog post about the new once a day vitamins. Hopefully everyone will give QVC their opinion on discontinuing the packs at the bottom of that post.

You really should try Andrew Lessman's supplements. They are head and shoulders above Nature's Code. I took Nature's Code years ago and I tried their Resveratrol supplement that smelled really bad. I couldn't get past that. The naturopath Dr Rouse was awful - I trusted that Dr Taub was doing the best job he could. The other guy was like a snake oil salesman.

I started watching AL and he made sense to me. His vitamins are all in capsules and they never smell bad or upset your stomach. No artificial colors. If they're beige then he doesn't dye them pink lol to make them cute. His fish oil is fabulous for the poster who was missing fish oil. They never ""repeat"" on you.

The vitamins are pricey but I work hard to keep them in the budget

I tried Nature's Code once and found some of the pills difficult to swallow. And I found that Dr. Taub (or whatever his name was) to be sort of repulsive. Went right back to Andrew Lessman. They are easy to swallow and have never caused me any burps or grumbly tummy problems like Nature's Code did. Staying with his Women's Complete and a few others.
