Please forgive me if the answer is available on a thread.  I did search before posting, but I could not find one that had what I was looking for. 

I just took my last Essential 1 supplement, and I plan on restocking this weekend, during AL's visit. However, I only want to purchase enough until his next TS. 

Is anyone aware of when AL normally offers the Essential 1 TS?

@icezeus I don't know the month and hopefully someone will reply. If they don't, I have called Andrew's number on the container before and have also sent emails to them for my questions. I usually go to his ProCaps Labs website for his email. Both ways they have always been very helpful. I love those vitamins too! Good luck!

Thank you for the response. I have had to call them a few times over the years, and they have been extremely helpful.

It did not even occur to me to contact them for this question. If I do not receive a response from someone on the boards I will try giving Pro Labs a call.

I used to take his vitamins for years, 

A few months back, I started taking the ones for Vein & Circulation.

Every time I took that pill, I would become ill.

So, after a few days, I gave up on it.

Blood pressure wasn't good, the bathroom became my friend, had rashes, I mean, I figured it had to be that pill...

So I looked up the ingredients : 600 mg of something called Diosmin.

I looked that up and bingo, everything I experienced was happening.

Clotting would be a problem as well.

I tossed them out and within the next day and a half I felt better...

I tried to write a review to be aware of this product and HSN wouldn't accept it.

I think that was a big mistake on their part, there are many older people that may take this product and should be aware of the product and know that not all vitamins are safe for the body.

Please, read not only whats in the product but look up the info on those ingredients.

Have a good weekend everyone..

Thank you QVC, I hope you will allow this to post.

@pieman Everything is definitely not right for everyone; and I would certainly hope anyone taking any supplement, or for that matter medication, reads drug interactions and side effects. In general, doing your own research along with talking about any supplements with your doctor and pharmacist is always a good thing. That's definitely scary that product made you ill! Glad you found the culprit!

My guess is that the next Essential 1 TS will be in December 2022.

@pieman 

Wow! That was quite a reaction and glad that you were able to narrow down and eliminate what was causing the problem.

I had a physical last year and I actually took in the supplements that I am taking to be reviewed by my doctor, and she gave me her approval.

We definitely have to take an active interest in our health.

I also want to say that just because a doctor gives you the thumbs up on taking a vitamin, doesn't mean all is okay. 

If you've never taken any of the ingredients before, how are they to know what may or may not bother your system/

I remember my dear mother, taking her to her cardiologist and he wanted to try her on a new medication. 

I asked him what it could do to her as possible side effects?

He got so angry!!! Said to me he had no idea what it might do to her..

What?????????? This was her doctor she had taking care of her for years.

he never did recover from his hissy fit, instead he stormed out the door, slamming it so hard as he left, he actually knocked the phone off the wall.....

Well, I immediately found a new cardiologist that same day, and never filled that script.

So, I guess as I said before, you know your body better than any physician and just because they say "okay" doesn't always mean its safe.  

Now, anytime I am tempted to take anything, I always start with half of what is said to take, especially doctors scripts....

Another thing to be careful of if you see licorice root in vitamins.

That can really play games with BP.. yikes!

Just watch what you think is going to help your health.

Have a great Easter Holiday    : )

@icezeus The last two years it's been December/January but he does monthly specials throughout the year which are almost just as good. I check his website every month and stock up that way if I can't hit the TSV right. 

ETA: If you go through his website or Amazon, he also offers a quantity discount. I think it starts at 5% if you order 2-3 items and goes up from there.

@pieman Sorry to hear that. I take a variety of his products and the Vein & Leg Support is a supplement that I don't ever want to be without. It has helped me tremendously.
