Berberine is $139.90 this visit. Is that better than previous visits? I haven't been following the price, I've just been waiting for a lengthy discussion about it.

I bought 360 for 79.90 when it was a monthly special but had a 20% off coupon so 64.00 I am thinking 🤔 720 was 139.00 then also.

I like having it but it is expensive. I was taking it every day at first but now just if I feel a slight sugar imbalance -I still have like 1/2 a bottle from last February. I would buy it again if it was a good deal.

Hi @VaBelle35 , great idea!!! Thanks so much for setting up a Lessman chat thread for today's two great TS specials.

The Lessman fans who also use Chaz Dean's Wen haircare products know that we have monthly Wen Chat threads, which we also use to have live chats during the shows. These chats have been a great way "meet" other Procaps users, as well as to share info about Andrew's products and to get questions answered while Andrew is on air. And it's just a lot of fun. *s* -- I'd like to suggest that we use @VaBelle35s thread to have live Andrew Lessman chats during his three upcoming shows during the next two days. I'm planning on watching the shows live, so I should be around. *s*

Thanks to @Nightowlz for sharing the upcoming Procaps Labs / Andrew Lessman schedule in another thread in the Wellness forum:

I know that a lot of folks order Procaps Labs through HSN and use the retailmenot discounts.

I wanted to share that in July I got a HUGE discount by ordering a number of items directly through Procaps Labs. This past year they had changed their discount structure so that each item you purchase (whether it's a 360 cap size or a 30 caps size) is included in your discount.

______

Procaps Labs - quantity discount information

When you purchase two or more products you will receive a quantity discount as follows:

Quantity	Discount
2-3	5%
4-5	10%
6-8	15%
9 or More	20%

Note: Items under $5.00 purchase price are exempt from receiving a quantity discount, nor do they count as items for increased quantity discount savings on other products. Today’s Special items are exempt from receiving a quantity discount; however, they do count as items for increased quantity discount savings on other products.

______

I purchased 10 different items, so I got the maximum 20% discount. -- When I did the math, I was stunned at just how much money I had saved!!!

All items (including sale items and monthly specials) except for the TS are eligible for the discount. The TS still counts for the total number of items ordered.

Below is my July invoice. In the item section, I've done my best to indicate what the regular and/or sale prices would be (without the quantity discount).

___

PROBIOTICS, RESVERATROL, TODAY'S SPECIALS

TWO NEW ANNIVERSARY TODAY’S SPECIALS
RESVERATROL ANTI-AGING COMPLEX
PLUS, ULTIMATE FRIENDLY FLORA

October 13, 2017

by Andrew Lessman

Last Sunday the theme of the day was Anniversary Savings and we will continue the celebration this Sunday with Anniversary Pricing on all our products, as well as, not just one, but two exciting Today’s Specials. First, our Resveratrol-100, which is among our most popular stand-alone products, but for our Anniversary Today’s Special, we have also combined it with three other favorites; Pomegranate 40:40, Green Tea EGCG and Grape Seed Extract. This Anti-Aging Complex is offered at a price that would be exceptional even if were just for Resveratrol-100 alone, but we have also included the protective benefits of these three additional ingredients – all of which have been the subject of extensive scientific research. For more than a decade,Resveratrol has been one of our most popular Today’s Specials, but for our Anniversary, I thought it would be even better to also add, at no additional charge, the benefits of high levels of EGCG from Green Tea, along with the unique Ellagic Acid and Punicalagins present in Pomegranate 40:40 Extract, plus the Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins (OPCs) from our Grape Seed Extract. Resveratrol has long been the subject of some of the most exciting anti-aging research and combined with these three other standardized extracts from natural protective compounds, you truly have a winning combination of the most important natural anti-aging tools.

Our second Today’s Special, Ultimate Friendly Flora, is our ultra-high potency Probiotic supplement. It is yet another example of an ingredient that like Resveratrol, CoQ10, Vitamin D, Lutein, Zeaxanthin and so many others, we pioneered the discussion of the ingredients and their health benefits long before they could be found in any stores. We also performed some of the earliest research on a Probiotic formula that would not require refrigeration. Friendly Flora are truly a unique family of ingredients, since unlike typical nutrients or botanicals ingredients that possess specific compounds that have a beneficial role in our body, Probiotics are alive. They are actually microorganisms…tiny living things that must go to work in our body in order for our bodies to be healthy. It is well recognized that our bodies must possess a healthy population of Probiotics in order for us to experience healthy digestion and immune function. But again, Friendly Flora are not nutrients or substances, but microorganisms that we must possess to lead a happy, healthy life. In fact, to the extent we can create the right environment to keep these organisms happy, then our digestion and immune system will benefit greatly. Without a healthy balanced population of these organisms, we cannot experience normal digestive and immune system function. Sadly, our modern world with its poor diet, stress, medications, etc has badly disrupted our balance of these friendly microorganisms and as a result, our digestive and immune system function suffers greatly. It is easy to understand the enormous role these microorganisms play in our health, if one considers that in our body, these tiny microorganisms should outnumber the cells in our body! It is also clear from the latest research that these organisms can also influence brain function and emotional balance. This is something called the gut-brain axis, which I will discuss this weekend during our shows. In fact, many experts attribute the high incidence of emotional imbalance in our society to be partly the result of the unhealthy relationship and balance we maintain with our friendly flora. Ultimate Friendly Flora was formulated following the latest research regarding using the precise strains (types and balance) of Friendly Flora that have proven most beneficial. We also provide an exceptional 25 Billion Colony Forming Units per capsule. I am thrilled that the research in this area has grown dramatically since my early days of discussing it a couple of decades ago, but for me, the most rewarding observation is the fact that the medical community now recognizes the critical importance of friendly flora to our health. These tiny microorganisms are truly our best friends, but like any very dear friend, they can be fragile and sensitive, so it is up to us to do our very best to keep them happy and if we do so, then like any good friend, they will also do their best to insure our wellbeing. I look forward to sharing more important information this weekend.

As I wrote the above, I realized how much material I will have to cover this weekend, particularly when it comes to our Ultimate Friendly Flora, so I will do my best to cover what you need to know to make healthy decisions in these areas. As I often repeat on-air, I am very proud of my products, but it is not essential that you get them to benefit from these shows, since by far, the most important thing I provide is information and the most life-changing thing I can trigger is your curiosity and interest in your health. I hope to see you this Saturday evening for a one hour Variety Show at 11 PM Eastern Time followed by our two Today’s Specials at midnight. We are back at noon on Sunday and then we finish up at 8 PM. I will also be visiting Adam’s Monday Night show, but without any specific product focus and really just to respond to any questions you might have now or that might arise over the weekend. Please feel free to share your questions with us at askandrew@hsn.com. Adam’s show is a great opportunity to provide any additional information you might require. See you on Saturday evening.

Best of health.

Andrew

@bebe777 Thanks for the information. I DO take quite a few of Lessman's vitamins. I believe they do improve the quality of life.

I'll DVR the show. I just received a month's supply of one of them. I usually order 1 month when first trying a new one.

Something I remember reading one day about the use of vitamins...."When asked if the person REALLY thinks these vitamins help them.....the person said, 'Well, all I know is when I DON'T take them, I don't feel as good as when I DO take them'.

I like that and have said it to several friends who doubt the use of vitamins do any good. I pick and choose the one's I take but I don't understand why anyone would just take a vitamin that's been sitting on a store shelf for (who knows how long). His are fresh and I think much better on the stomach.

I remember once he said Drs performing autopsies found (in tact) pills that had not desolved. Ugh!

Re: Andrew Lessman - October 14-15, 2017 Chat

bebe777 — Sun, 15 Oct 2017 16:37:44 GMT

I shared some info about my personal use of Ultimate Friendly Flora (UFF) on another forum, and I thought it would be of interest to folks here...

I take around 12-15 of Andrew's supplements. Most of them are solid regular purchases for me. I tend to go back and forth about the UFF, but that's just because I don't get the same crazy high level of results with it... and that's probably because I have a compromised immune system due to 3 intestinal surgeries. -- It's left me with intestinal challenges, so I tend to get discouraged when Andrew's UFF isn't the silver bullet that so many of his products have been to me.

lol, I should know better because even the very best products can only do so much.

I've been taking the UFF on and off for about 4 years now. -- I started off with his Friendly Flora but it just wasn't powerful enough for my health needs. The UFF was definately more helpful.. lol, and I really do need to be taking it regularly.

From what I remember, the largest TS Andrew had offered before this had been a 200 capsule supply.

Initially, when it came on the market, he had offered a 360 cap supply of his Friendly Flora. -- If you check through very old HSN review, you'll see complaints about it then:

* capsules turned a darker color over time

* capsules got harder over time and folks wondered if the flora wee still "alive"

Procaps always told me (and I believe them) that the product was still fine. But due to peopl's questions, after about a year and a half, Andrew made the 180 size the very largest size.

The Procaps folks have told me that Andrew puts in WAY more than 25 billion colony forming units to make absolutely sure that when you finish the product (here 270 capsuels) at one capsule a day that there will still be a 25 billion CFUs per capsule.

My sense it that he probably would like people to finish his UFF in a 9 month period in order to get the fullest potency... So I'll only be ordering one bottle.

That will probably mean that I will have to repurchase at a higher price but, since the UFF is a "live" product, in this particular case freshness really is important.

I'll be getting one of the 270 capsule size.

Thanks for the reminder!

Just bought 2 of each TSV. I do not want to run out!

Have become more focused on trying to take the AL supplements that are on sale. It helps.

Maybe it has something to do with turning 67 this month (YIKES!), but I want to do all I can to stay healthy.

Listening to AL now!

Hi @Annabellethecat66 thank you so much for you kind words and I'm glad that the info is helpful.

lol, when folks say that "vitamins just make expense waste products" (cleaning up the general quote), I just ask them what they think that expensive Rx pils make? lol, I usually get a stunned silence.

Before I finally settled on Andrew's supplements, I literally spent several years trying out 30-40 different manufacturer brands. --It took time, but I really got a vitamin brands education. So if Andrew doesn't make a particular supplement that I need, I do have 5-10 backup manufacturers that I can go to.

lol, and about some pills not dissolving in the small intestine. -- 5-7 years ago, I have to have several emergency surgeries on my intestines. For 4 months, my small intestine was seperated from my large intestine... so I got my waste products out via a colostomy bag. -- I never saw any evidence of ANdrw's supplements in the toilet, but I couldn't say the same thing about the 4-5 heavy duty Rx TABLETS that I was taking. I finally had to resort to pill splitters because one in every 4-5 Rx TABLETS would be floting in the toilet (while there was never any evidence of ANdrew's supplements). Yikes!

@Witchy Woman you are most welcome and I'm glad that the info was helpful.

These are two great TS and the value are really great!! These are some of his top antioxidants!!

I also always focus on what Andrew has on sale... and then factor in how to maximize my savings with his quantity discount.

lol, I screenshot his charts, so I'm going to have to go back and listen to part of his current broadcast. The great thing about HSN is that their live stream of their shows lets people listen to the last four hours of the shows that they broadcast. -- QVC could really take a note on this (especially since QVC owns HSN now).

Wanted to say that I haven't reached the point where I need to install additional shelving for my supplements but....

Earlier this year, I decided that money I would otherwise spend on clothes I didn't wear or new purses/shoes and other "stuff" would be devoted to AL supplements and animal organizations.

I'm not discounting any future purchases of such things, but, I just think twice before doing so.

I love how Andrew lights up when Muriel comes on. She is a lovely woman -- I love the cookbooks they have done!

While I love oatmeal, I find it's just too many carbs for my body as I cannot confine myself to a small serving.

If I can ever get THAT under control, I'll buy it

@bebe777Wow! You've had a time of it, haven't you? About 1 year ago I started having severe pain. I layed in bed moaning and groaning for 1 1/2 days (alone).

Then I finally called my guy friend and asked him to come over. He did immediately. He talked me into called an ambulance because I couldn't sit up in a car.

I rode the ambulance to emergency room where they discovered my intestine had broken open and bacteria had been leaking out into my stomach.

But because I'd waited I was lucky in that it (the fissure) had healed so they didn't need to operate. I was in the hospital for 5 days (a long time these days) and they pumped me full of antibiotics.

I've always had a sensitive 'gut'. My daughters are the same way (i.e. not a lot of dairy, meat, etc). I baby my stomach and know what does and doesn't work (probably like you do @bebe777,

His vitamins work well for me. I REALLY believe in Lysine vitamins. Every time (OK, every other time) I go to dentist I'm there, mouth open, for at least 2 or more hours). About 1 week ago he was trying to decide about buying a new dental machine....my mouth was really twisted around...Ha! Well, as usual it tore my lip and it looked like I had a big cold sore. I came home and started taking Lysine and it's almost healed. I swear by that stuff. Same thing with the Cranberry vitamins and so on (won't bore you with others). Ha!

I guess all that matters is we (you and I) and some other's believe they help us and that's what matters....right?
