Beware pruvit is making many people sick; diarrhea, headaches, nervous system attack, and sending people to emergency room! Told this product robs your body of sodium, told to add salt but then another said they added more calcium to new product to balance sodium. However, that first batch was nearly a killer for some! And have no idea of what they did 'adding calcium' makes a difference from this product tasting nasty to most and it doing more bad than good! They rolled this out without any proper testing (obviously if they 'added calcium' to address the many complaints of people getting sick) and I say fda, ftc, ag's shut them down and let them go back to the drawing board and do the proper testing & maybe not doe this mlm

My shippment of Vi-Shape arrived and the bag of product was torn open, and product was spilling out. It looks like the packer in putting in a box of Heart Tart Ketones tore the bag open. I am Roger Melior

I need you to replace the bag of Vi-Shape without charge, and ship it to me.

I'm new to this product. Today is day 2. Yesterday, I did my first drink in the morning. After my second drink after lunch, I had the most horrendous diarrhea for three hours. When I got home about 3 hours after drinking the caffeine free chocolate drink, I had a carb heavy meal that only stayed down moments before all of it came rapidly back out. At the end of the vomiting, there was streaks of fresh blood which I can only assume came from the violent assault on my esophagus in reverse mode. I didn't eat anything else last night. My distributor said perhaps it was all the carbs. Has anyone heard of such a thing happening? I had another drink this morning, waited an hour and had scrambled eggs and cheese which I was able to keep down. Another small bout of diarrhea but nothing like yesterday. The internet says the diarrhea could be the result of the high amount of B vitamins so I'm less worried about that. It is the vomiting that I was concerned about. Is it reasonable to have a sensitivity to one of the drinks?

It’s funny they show a video of launching a new product on the billboards in NYC Times Square. If that is truly real live footage, advertising would cost 100’s of thousands of $$$$. Why pay for advertising when you have 100’s of people Working hard at promoting the product. Makes no sense to me.
It’s a matter of Time Pruvit will be another one down in history or failed MLMs.

Pruvit is a load of crap. Yes, ketones are a more efficient fuel for your body. Yes, getting into ketosis will result in weight loss -- when your body is breaking down YOUR fat to produce ketones, not when you're adding them to your blood! All this does is increase your blood ketone levels, which does nothing for burning off the fat you already have. Result - expensive piss. Eat a low carb diet and you'll put yourself in ketosis in under a week, and actually burn off your own body fat, for free.

You should likely do some research on studies that have been done, particularly some of the work done by Dom D'Augustino in which they were able to show results whether you are in on carbs or off carbs. You will definitely see larger benefits if you are on the stricter diet, but there are benefits no matter what. Please provide citations of actual scientific studies done if you want to mock it.

Pruvit is a classic pyramid scam charging 3 times more than other brands containing higher amounts of bhb.
Pruvit is all hype. Better to just buy laxative because the only thing that will help you lose weight with this product is the amount of time you will spend on the toilet. Laxative is much cheaper.
As for their independent so called business owners... they all act like a bunch of crackheads in a cult ready to call you negative when they can't answer tough questions like what the bhb content is in their product. Every other product can.
The worst mlm cult I have ever seen. This mlm will be done in a couple years thank goodness.

You should look into measuring bhb levels with a blood meter. Because that's where it matters. Packaging can be misleading. Results less so. I haven't found a competing product yet, that get's me into nutritional ketosis AND costs less.

Hi,

All I know is that there is an overwhelming possitive happiness that I've seen from people using supplemental ketones, if your consistent and open to it.

I'm new at taken them myself, but I do know that taking supplementalKetones.com puts your body in a state of ketosis in under 1 hour.

When your body is in a state of ketosis hence a Ketogenic diet amazing things do happen.

The results of the ketogenic diet produced the following, My moms a1c went down and lost 10 pounds, I've notice more muscle tone on myself, artristis pain gone, I've seen tons of before and after pics results of people been on a ketogenic diet.

So direct medical claims are made about Supplental Ketones. its all about the results of a ketogenic diet and your personal commitment to getting the results you desire.

So with that said supplemental ketones are very cool indeed.

I used this a year ago and felt great while losing 40 pounds. One doc, after a blood test asked me why my ketones were so high... I told him and he said "they're natural, no worries". Another told me that cancer cells can't grow while I'm in Ketosis. Not a bad thing!

Anyway I ate like a pig after stopping it and put the weight back on and just started again (a year+ later) and put a case study on Facebook. Check it out: https://www.facebook.com/KetoOS-Pruvit-Case-Study-952819201529483/

It is overpriced containing the lowest bhb of all products on the market. You know what a pyramid scam is? It rewards you more for signing up new members than for selling product. Pruvit just another health supplements scam selling overpriced snake oil.

How do you know that it contains the lowest BHB of all products when Pruvit has never released it's formula because of a patent pending? They won't release it until the patent goes through because the TRUE snake oil sellers will steal the formula. That is a total false statement that you just made and wherever you got it from lied. This is the real deal you guys! It DOES work and it's changing people's lives every single day! Do the right kind of research. Don't just spew FEAR all over every thread because your mind can't possibly imagine a product that actually does what it promises, makes people so happy that they appear to be on crack, and creates an image of what life really should be that your brain can't process because you've never seen it...EVER. Open your minds and exercise the last mustard seed of faith that you can find inside of you and trust this company and this product

Thank you! And holy crap! That hyper jack dude is a slimeball! I Just cancelled my order through an overzealous co-worker who has hyped up every fad and i cant belive she got me this time. I even asked her before i ordered, "did you collect beanie babies at one time?" She answered "yes". That was all i should have needed to hear. She sincerely believes the hype and i believe she believes in it so against my gut feeling i ordered earlier this evening. Funny, there was nowhere on the website to cancel my order. Nor was there anything under "help faqs" of how to cancel an order. I had to screen shot every step of my efforts to cancel to have for later when they tell me they dont know what im talking about.

I was at a KETO OS "mixer " and it was more like join our cult. The host, jack castella who calls himself "hyper Jack " whonisnonnyoutube looking like he's coked up was only talking about joining. He mentioned not to show your doctor because he will disapprove. I asked my doctor and he said to stay away ! As I looked atound the room, the promoters of the product all had very hyperpigmwnted undereye areas. Looked like black eyes. People were acting very strange. One woman was picking her eye sockets, cheeks, digging in her ears and nose and EATING IT ! in front of the entire group! It was the most bizarre thing I've seen from a 50 something lady. She looked so strange picking her face with zero control and eating it !? And jack isntellingnpeoole to get off their diabetes medicine and it cures diabetes and you can splurge on McDonald's and still lose weight. That was scary that night. All Genesis doing was recruiting And filling brains with ### except mine. ).
Please use caution when using this product. It isn't tested (says lab tested . Which lab ? In jacks basement ? Check out this fool on YouTube. He is nuts and let acts crazy on this stuff!

Sounds like that lady was on something else. I take this product and its amazing! I have no side effects. This is not just for weight loss. It does give me energy but not like a diet pill. I get side effects with most things. With this product I feel like I am 21 again. Which is great when running after kids. I am sorry you had a bad experience with some odd people.

You are absolutely correct. DIABETICS SHOULD NOT TAKE THIS CRAP. It will throw your body into a dangerous state of ketoacidosis - extremely dangerous for a diabetic. OF COURSE THE DOCTOR SAID NOT TO TAKE IT. This stuff is not good for you. Don't be foolish. You only have one body. Do the diet without the expensive, over-hyped drink and you'll lose weight and feel better.

Like @ToniahL said...these are exogenous ketones and they are water soluble, unlike the ketones your body makes which are blood soluble. The danger of ketoacidosis is when too many ketones mix with too much glucose in your bloodstream. Since these ketones are water soluble, they don't stay in your bloodstream. If they aren't breaking down your fat to use as energy, they move to other cells to oxygenate them and the very few left with nothing to do, you pee out. There are only trace amounts of ketones left in your bloodstream. So, unless you drink "60 packets a day" AND are an uncontrolled diabetic (meaning you have no idea what you numbers are EVER and don't care), there is absolutely NO RISK of ketoacidosis for anybody...even diabetics. And people who were Type 2 diabetics are coming out in DROVES to tell the world that they are no longer diabetic. Please do your research before you go vomiting information into the world. Someone that desperately needs a change and whose health is decreasing could be saved by Keto//OS and comments like this, make them shut their brains off to the possibility completely. If you don't know, if you don't understand, if you're scared of trying it and failing because that's happened to you so many times before (trust me...I've been there many many times myself), just read everything there is to read...NOT just reviews but people who are paid by competing companies to write crap like this initial post.

Be careful when you throw around words like "CULT"! Shame on you! It is NOT a cult by any means! As a people, we've never witnessed happiness in people, the way that it was truly meant to be. We aren't used to people jumping around and excited about something that just makes us happy, unless they were on some kind of crazy drug, so it's not a surprise to me that this mentality is out there on the wonderful world wide web about Pruvit/Ketones. So, we automatically jump to... "she must be on drugs! She's crazy! Look at her! Nobody feels that good without drugs! It's a CULT!". Pruvit is the REAL DEAL and the only reason people are "crazy" about it and want their families on it is becuase they know that their loved ones will feel the exact same things that they are feeling, if they'd just try it! Who doesn't want their loved ones to be in perfect health and feeling more amazing than they've ever felt in their lives, and living longer?!?!? Do your research. We've all been waiting for that "thing" that will finally help us get everything that we want, and now we have it with Pruvit. Don't let fear of the unknown stop you from living your best life

Doctors only tell you not to take it because of the risk of ketoacidosis and keto flu...all the things that can NOT happen with Pruvit's ketones! It's so new that even doctors don't know about it yet. Those negatives can happen when following a ketogenic diet alone, but this product is NOT that. So when "Hyper Jack" told you not to talk to your doctor because they wouldn't recommend it, he was right but NOT crazy and NOT trying to get you to buy something for his benefit alone. Doctors aren't educated enough on how much nutrition plays a roll in our health. They are only educated in what prescriptions fix which problems and that's it. The first thing you're doctor should ask you when you go in for a visit should be "What are you eating?", but instead, they ask "What meds are you on?". It's not their fault. It's just what they were taught. We have been taught completely wrong about how to eat. We weren't taught how to eat to keep us healthy. We were taught how to eat to keep us buying the foods that the FDA, FTC, our own government and all of those other administrations make money off of! I don't listen to a freakin word the FDA says because they are bought by all of the major "body-killing" food companies you can think of. I've done my research. I've read numerous books and watched many documentaries about the health of our nation and all the facts point to us being fed [censor] food to keep us addicted to it, craving it and needing it because our bodies can't live without it. The food we eat is absolutely no different than any other drug out there. The consequences appear different but if you look at the span of an entire life, the outcome is the same...early death. The difference between our food and street drugs is that we are made to suffer our entire lives (as long as we can last) with our food. At least the HEROIN will kill you sooner and make you suffer for a shorter amount of time. The FDA is doing today, exactly what the cigarette companies did when they got started. They told us that cigarettes were good for us so we believed them. It wasn't until some intelligent people and doctors came along and challenged the cigarette companies that we started to get to where we are today. Start thinking outside of the box and exercise your faith in places where it's deserved

I was actually admitted to the ER and felt so dizzy, out of control and fatigued. This was several days of end of day dizzy spells during my workday. The last day I took it was the day I went to the ER, then it took about two weeks to get it out of my system entirely and I had bad panic attacks afterwards and have never once in my life experienced any episodes before. After I stopped taking I felt much better. While I feel it does work for some (my coworker that sold it to me) it doesn’t work for all and I hate how many reviews make it seem like a one size fits all and the best thing ever that is safe when it is not true across the board. I wish someone would have shared a similar review so I didn’t feel so scared and confused as to what was happening to my body. It took about two weeks for it to start happening and two weeks to stop.

I wish I’d read your review before starting on these drinks! Luckily I only lasted 2 days but I also had headaches, all over body aches, extreme dizziness which resulted in a massive panic attack in the night. I honestly thought I was going to die. I’m in the UK and they have only just been released over here. They are definitely not for everyone. I had never felt so ill.

The first 10 day challenge I felt good. I did a diet exactly like my promoter did, took the ketones and lost nothing. So I did the fast, which was not difficult and began again with the 10 day challenge pack and the electrolytes and same keto diet, tracking my macros….OMG! Explosive diarrhea and nausea ensued, but I continued for 4 days. No weight loss, no inches lost and so I discontinued. I’ve had moderate abdominal pain, nausea for 3 days now and this morning left upper quadrant pain that may take me to the ED if it gets worse.

Im not saying that this product doesn’t work for some, but I will tell all that will read, this is not for everyone and really doesn’t have a foundational “diet” to build on and so I should have known better.

The lesson learned is that you can’t buy weight loss and if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Hoping to feel better soon….I don’t want to go to the ED with pancreatitis or any other ailment simply because I chose to take these supplements. This can not be a one size fits all program….people can be harmed

Earlier today, I found out that the person (I will not mention their name) that wrote this phony complaint is with competitor (MLM which is being sued) that is knocking off Pruvit's KETO//OS. Every single one of these statements this person made from "123 street Kansas City MO" are with out merit and this person is flat out lying trying to damage the reputation of Pruvit. For one thing this person shouldn't of bragged about writing it to people that don't like the this person. Not a good idea... Funny thing is, this person now can get sued for making unfounded, damaging claims. How dumb can people get? This dumb...
