Beachbody® Nutritional Supplements Reviews These are reviews made by Angie Cyr aka Coach Chica, Independent Beachbody Coach. These are only the reviewer's opinion and are intended for information only. I hope you find these helpful. Please feel free to E-mail Coach Chica with any questions. I am not a doctor, or a nutritional expert so please view the Beachbody nutritional supplements product page and the Beachbody Product Store for actual information on the product descriptions, ingredients, etc. Because every body is different, every person will have different nutritional needs. What works for me might not work for you so keep that in mind when looking into each product. Everyone's tastes are also different. I may like a flavor that you don't so please also keep that in mind while reading the reviews. These are just my personal opinions on the products I have tried so far (I will post more reviews as I try other products).
ActiVit Metabolism Formula - ActiVit has two formulas, one for fat burning and the other for muscle toning (Toning Formula). I have only tried the fat burning formula. Most vitamins take a while before you feel energy, but with ActiVit I felt more energetic within a few days of taking it. If I forget to take it, I notice a slight decrease in energy level. As soon as I take it again, my energy level goes up again. One thing I noticed about all these products is that I don't feel sick even if I take the pills on an empty stomach. That's a huge thing for me because every supplement I have ever taken outside of Beachbody products have made me nauseous if I take them on an empty stomach, or sometimes even when I take them with food but not with my Beachbody stuff! I love that and that's why I'm a Beachbody supplement user for life! Note: Everyone's body is different, Activit should be taken with food. Just because it didn't make me nauseous without food doesn't mean it will work the same for you. So keep that in mind. I suggest you take all supplements with a little bit of food unless otherwise directed. 2-day Fast Formula - I used this just before I started on my weight loss program just to do a mini-cleanse and get my body ready. Surprisingly, it tasted pretty good. I have tried both chocolate and vanilla flavors and liked them both. I lost about 5 pounds each time I used it. I also used it after the holidays when I felt icky from "blowing it" at holiday gatherings. It helped me get "unbloated" and motivated me to start up again on my healthy quest! The only thing I don't like is that you do feel hungry while you are fasting so you really need to be aware of this and have something ready to keep your mind off of it, non-food related of course! Slimming Formula - I took this when I started my first workout program, Slim in 6, to accelerate my results. I don't have anything to compare it to except that the other gals on the message board that had done SI6 also didn't use the slimming formula and I lost way more inches than they did, so I think this really works well! And just like the ActiVit, these did not make me nauseous when I took them on an empty stomach. However, be prepared to take 6 pills a day (2 before each meal). If you can handle this then you'll do well. Whey Protein Powder - I tried both the chocolate and vanilla flavors, both delicious. I prefer the vanilla one only because you can add several ingredients and make so much more than just chocolate smoothies with it! You can find lots of different smoothie recipes when you join the Million Dollar Body Club. I have never tried the meal replacement shakes, but I think this is the same except with a little more protein. I used these as a breakfast after my morning workout and it was a yummy treat and quite filling. P90X Peak Performance Protein Bars - This comes in two flavors: Cafe' Mocha and Wildberry. The berry flavor is pretty good. Full of berries it is a sweet treat! After my husband started using the Cafe' Mocha bars, I finally decided to try one. I thought that because I don't like coffee that I wouldn't like these. On the contrary! I love them more than the Wildberry bars! They have a very mild coffee taste. It is not as sweet as the berry flavored bars, but they are really good! Core Omega-3 - Have you ever tried Omega-3 fish oil capsules only to have the taste come back up on you a few hours later? Well, I'm happy to report that these capsules are formulated so that doesn't happen. And it doesn't! I can have the benefits of Omega-3 without the taste in my mouth! My husband loves these too. Core Cal-Mag - For anyone who needs extra calcium (or is allergic to dairy like me) this is an excellent product! No chalky consistency or aftertaste. Loaded with just the right amounts of calcium and magnesium, this is a great supplement for men or women but especially beneficial for women.
Warning: These products should be used as a dietary supplement only. Those with medical concerns should consult their physician prior to using this or any other dietary supplement. As with any supplement, herb, or medication, do not use any Beachbody supplement, food product, or meal replacement product while pregnant or provide to a child without consulting a physician.
