Andrew Lessman Vitamins--prices

Daysdee — Tue, 16 Oct 2018 20:48:01 GMT

Just saw on HSN his CoQ10 plus is almost $500. and with tax and the $13.72 shipping will be over that price. It is for 600, but that seems very expensive to me. I did buy those in smaller quantity a while back.

Here in MD we just started paying tax on HSN, but we dont pay tax on supplements, so it is my understanding that the tax is deducted in the final receipt. I buy Ubiquinol, a more potent form of Q 10 at Vitacost, for certainly quite a bit less. I dont find Lessman to be any different.

I don't know why they raise his prices up so much when he's not on air. It's ridiculous IMO. His prices are high enough during his shows. I don't know anybody that would pay the prices they have online right now.

I just paid $169.90 for 600 ct. CoQ10 w/Vit D3 as his TS weekend of the 6th of Oct.

The prices on HSN look like they are more than they were before. Wonder if they are going to do a price increase? We will know it.

I know last year when he was selling Marine Collagen he said they price was going up a lot.

Seems to me his prices are going up a lot. Also, before the "merger" with QVC, when he was on there was free shipping. (same with Perlier items) Now if you buy AL vitamins under $50. there is a shipping fee. I'm taking his Marine Collagen and don't really know if it is doing any good.

His products are very different. I wouldn't take anything else. I love listening to his presentations. I learn so much each time I tune in. His prices are best when he is having the TS so that's when I purchase most of my AL supplements. You can also get them from ProCapsLabs.com. Sometimes the prices there are better.

I'm not paying shipping. We have to pay taxes on supplements where I live. I always order during his shows. I see what I need before his next show & order. I don't think I need anything else until his Fish oil in Apr.

I see how HSN has made changes since the merger. I'm sure that's why the prices are going up. That's ok raise those prices I will stop buying. LOL!!!

If Andrew's prices get jacked up I can start looking for alternatives. His prices are already high enough so they don't need to raise them. If his costs go up he's need to change something else instead of raising his prices.

His customers have already paid for those solar panels & equipment he needs to get the job done.

I pay whatever it takes right now for the Memory and Brain product. Most of the others I COULD get anywhere for less, but I use the divided payments.

@Daysdee- if you're willing to do a little research, you can find the same ingredients that Lessman uses in the Vitacost brand for less money. They ship free, too, on orders of $50, I think.

I have always ordered direct from his website. With the quantity discounts, I find it beats HSN even when he is there and on promo. I don't think HSN does that additional discount off and when you order the bigger stuff it adds up with the % off.

Hot tip: add a cookbook or other small item if you are short the next level discount up. It usually ends up being free.

If you are buying several supplements, it does pay to purchase from ProCaps. If you’re just ordering the TS I don’t think it really matters.

Andrew Lessman's brand of vitamins are the only ones that do not upset my stomach. I also have an immune deficiency. Before I started taking his vitamins, I would have pnuemonia every year. I have not even had a cold for 6 years. My husband used to have floaters in his eyes. Among the vitamins he takes is Ultimate Eye. It has taken care of the problem. We consider our good health worth the price. I keep a close eye on the specials and only buy vitamins when they are on a good sale with no shipping charges. We are both in our 60's so it is a financial stretch, but we budget for them just like we other things.

You have to buy his vitamins when he comes to HSN and he has specials on certain vitamins. I just got the CoQ10 600 and the 500 bucks is what I would have paid when it was not a special offer. You also, get free S&H when he's at HSN selling his vitamins.

I've bought some of his supplements on Amazon. Compared the prices, including shipping, and generally save $ on my Amazon purchases. Ran out of Turmeric about 2 months ago and saved $25 through Amazon. Also purchased directly from his website.

The large size of his TS is the only one that is really cost effective. All other products even with 20% off isn't worth your while. At the end of the day its about trusting the source, you are willing to pay more for the source you trust!

Andrew just had a special on his Co-Q10, I paid $140 for a year's supply (actually a little more than a year, 400 capsules), free shipping and four payments.

I had no idea his supplements were sold on Amazon, silly me! I will always check there, since I do take a lot of his supplements. His best deals are his Today's Specials, but not everything makes it to a Today's Special.

I like AL supplements, but I finally got wise and started comparing some of his items to others on the market. After researching, I could only justify sticking with a couple of his. The guy knows his vitamins, but he isn't really all that unique with that these days. As a whole, supplements are probably a big ripoff, but most of us want to believe there is some good in taking them. Overdosing on supplements might do more harm than good. It's pretty easy for me to just eat right.

Icegoddess — Wed, 17 Oct 2018 17:10:44 GMT

I buy the Ubiquinol at Costco. It's supposed to be better absorbed than the Co-Q10 I was buying before and I attribute just the Co-Q for getting me out of the periodontist's chair, so I was already taking it when the doctor put me on a statin and suggested it.

I was a bit interested in his choclates for lowering cholesterol, but I don't buy into his statement that milk fat is bad, so I'm on the fence about it.

I just got my first ever purchase from HSN which was his UFF. Enclosed is a flyer that his vitamins are going to be 25% off in November at HSN.

The only time to buy AL supplements is when they are on sale. Otherwise, they are too expensive. Also, many of the ingredients overlap, so be careful not to overdo it.
