Hmmmm, never thought about the affect of several items together.

Might be a question to ask customer service on his website.

I'm sure AL takes a ton of his own stuff, so....it makes me think that maybe he's figured this out.

Not saying it wouldn't be an issue, but it seems something they could easily address.

I may contact them later today.

@Witchy Woman He especially has huge doses of vitamin B as an extra in his products. I remember reading a review on HSN about how the reviewer's B (B12?) level was enormously over normal when she went to the doctor. Too much B12 can cause anxiety, among other things. I don't know a lot about it, but it's worth looking into. I wish he didn't do this so often because it makes taking certain combinations of his pills difficult.

@Ms X I hate that he puts calcium in everything. I wouldn't take calcium on a bet, so I don't take anything of his that he's added calcium to-that really narrows it down.

@Judaline Is there something I should know about calcium? I take a calcium supplement with D and vitamin K.

ok ladies-I just finished watching the almost one hour presentation and Andrew explained how topically putting anything on your skin that claims it helps the collagen or elasticity improvement-just is not so-you must injest it.....the reviews he read were nothing short of amazing-also checked for myself online and WOW!
Also good for your joints, arteries, heart valves etc.......
I'm going to give it a whirl and see what happens!

So I guess the good doctor is refuting the scientifically proven effects of Retin-A (tretinoin)?

I am very skeptical of what he says about his own and other products/formulations. IMO he either exaggerates or omits the entire truth.

@Interesting about the B vitamins in his products, @Ms X. Even the water soluble vitamins can be harmful if one takes too much. Overdosing on B12 can have harmful effects on many body systems from heart to GI, and of course too much calcium can be extremely harmful....so I hope everyone will be aware of these additions to his products and factor that in with their other vitamin and supplements.

@Ms X I take D3 and MK--7 and his Essentials 1 which does contain calcium but hopefully it isn't that much. I heard many times from alternative doctors, that calcium goes to your heart. You've heard of calcium channel blockers-I imagine that's why they block calcium, so it doesn't build up in the heart. I once had a heart scan and they actually saw the calcium, so no more for me. I'll get it from my dark leafy greens.

He puts way too high amounts in all of his offerings for me. I just think it is far too easy to overload on this stuff. I am very skeptical of his products and line.

Sounded good to me but he's a salesman who wants me to buy his products so I didn't buy it since I don't know if a product like that is as beneficial as he claims and it's pretty expensive. I'm working with a registered dietitian in my never ending quest to lose weight, when I see her next week, I'll ask her to look at the product info and give me her opinion. There's a vendor, a doctor, on Evine who has a beauty product that works from the inside. I believe it's a smoothie mix and I think capsules. It's for skin, hair, nails and also helps with weight loss. Or so....the claims go.

No, not in the presentations I watched. He was talking about topical collagen which it is true- there isn't any scientific evidence that shows topical collagen can actually penetrate the skin in a way to stimuate collagen production. that is scientific fact and I've read those studies for years (no I have not used his product) even before I heard him say it. He never mentioned anything about retin-a in any of the presenstations I saw.

One of the problems I see is in the believability factor as you never know if Andrew or any of his customers who wrote testimonials had work done on their face - injectables, fillers, etc. One can truthfully say they've never had plastic surgery and yet still look young after having work done by an esthetician or a Dermatologist.
