$87 For Vitamins!

That is just really insulting and ridiculous. I can't believe they would think anyone would be convinced to buy these "real green" vitamins.

If I was a host, I would refuse to sell these and yeah probably get fired.

I just couldn't do it.

I will stick with my Walmart gummies for women for $9 something.

QVC must really hope their viewers have no sense or are completely gullible.

I commented a long time ago about Andrew less man's overpriced vitamins also. I will stick to CVS vitamins they are FDA approved.

And Walgreens does buy one/get one free on vitamins on a regular basis.

I had to laugh when Dan popped one in his mouth and chewed....and chewed.....and chewed, for several minutes too long!

It seemed like one of those things that the longer you chew it, the bigger it gets, LOL!

Either that or maybe he just didn't want to swallow it!

But to be fair, these aren't just regular "vitamins". They are cruciferous greens in a gummy. Those are more expensive to make. I haven't tried these but have taken AL cruciferous greens capsules for awhiile now.

As long as people buy them, they will sell them.

Well in all fairness to the hosts, their job is to sell whatever they are told to sell. I would imagine if they refused they would be in violation of their contract which is not good for them. Having said that, I get my vitamins from Amazon always cheaper. never been fan of this particular vendor. I agree the pricing is ridiculous

I am strictly an Andrew Lessman customer. I buy from HSN when the products are "on special." There is a tremendous saving when purchasing in that way. I think they are the best on the market.

He's one of the main reasons I stopped watching HSN, seemed like it was always on, can't afford that, will buy natures bounty

Everyone has their likes and dislikes. And how much they are willing to pay. I take a few Lessman’s vitamins, which I always buy in quantity during big sales. The Turmeric/Curcumin supplement in particular has helped the arthritis in my back considerably. That’s just me. Not claiming to have the answer for everyone.

You get what you pay for so to speak. There are no chemical additives or fillers in AL vitamins. The factory where they are made is completely run on solar power. He is an advocate for health and the environment. What's not to love? Dyes and fillers are added to most vitamins sold in pharmacies, most of them are a tablet hard as a rock. Do you think it's acutally dissolving totally in your body and you're actually getting 100% benefit????

Nope.

Not every purchase any of make would pass the best value test.

Whether you pay more for a tub of ice cream, a ticket to a sporting event, vitamines or a can of beans, somebody will be happy to shame you over it because it's not what they would spend money on.

I am shocked what anybody would spend to buy a ticket to a NFL or NBA game, yet people line up to do it. It's just what each of us value and decide that you need/want/can afford.

I used to think AL vitamins were overpriced, and yes, maybe they are. However, I found that I noticed *RESULTS* when I took his as opposed to drugstore brands. When I purchase his specials, it's a big chunk of money up front, but I remind myself that it's usually a year's supply.

If you get results and don't have stomach problems ingesting the drugstore rocks, good for you, you are lucky. However, if you have to be careful with stomach issues, AL is the way to go.

That said, I do not purchase the 8Greens product, or any gummy vitamins.

I am not buying but I don't find it ridiculous OR insulting.

Why would a high end product insult me? I think you get the quality you pay for a lot of the time.

Just because something is cheap doesn't make it 'just' as good.

QVC will sell what they perceive buyers will want and spend for.

Where is the insult in that? Just business for heaven's sake!

I used to be a big AL fan, but I'm realizing more and more that these vitamins are useless. Taking a specific vitamin, like D, makes sense, but beyond all that it's just a way to waste your money. I find it pretty amazing that most doctors tell us this, but we continue to fall for it.

@sashamatthews I agree, and it's a small price to pay for your health!

@MomCat I totally disagree with your statement. I'm shocked that you even wrote that. I see and feel a huge difference with Andrew Lessman vitamins. I will never stop taking them.

Each to his own. I think the supplement business is based on hope, not facts. We take only what our doctor states is helpful for us. And what few we take are not what I would consider overpriced.

Shocking? She just stated her opinion. Don't take it so personally, @santorini

I've had doctors tell me where vitamins are concerned, you get what you pay for and you can judge the quality by the price. I am not a Lessman fan and get mine at Walmart. His prices and the volume of stuff he says you can't live without are riduculous.
