No comparison. Metamucil gave me stomach aches and didn't help at all. My A1c from dropped 6 to normal and my cholesterol dropped after using this product. I guess it depends on what you want it for. I have had no bad side effects with this product.

I am taking Crestor for cholesterol control. One of the side effects is muscles aches and leg cramps. My cardiologists recommended that I take COQ10 (200 -300 mg) per day. They have worked for me!I was spending more money on similar ones and discovered these. I have been taking them for 6 months and have had no muscles aches or cramps on my largemuscles since I had been taking them. You really have to watch your diet and not rely on just medication if you have problems with blood sugar and cholesterol. Proper diet, medication plus exercise works!

Steve, I really don't know. But it isn't supposed to work as a cholesterol medicine. Metamucil effect over cholesterol should come with time. It's a side effect of eating fiber every day. For faster effects over your cholesterol, talk to your doctor so he can prescribe you something like Simvastatin: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simvastatin .

It does list cholesterol. Under "amount per serving" is shows 0g. Under "%DV" it shows 0%. Even though there not any in this product, it is nice they addressed the issue on the label. I love this stuff, I am 60 years old and my wife is 57. We went for plaque buildup test (its kind of like an MRI). Hers was 0% and mine was 3%, we have been using this product for a while and I believe it really helps .

Dear Lisa, I have been a long time user of Nioxin and have noticed a change in the product a long time ago and notified Amazon of the change in consistency and the price reduction. I contacted the owner of Nioxin and they informed that the product was being made in Mexico which was their new production facility for the product. I continue to use the product reluctantly as it still does the job for me but the results are not as satisfying as it used to be. I dont have my old email to Amazon but I believe P&G owns the label and distribution now. I have never heard back from Amazon. Ira Palm Beach Gardens, Fl

The only change I've made is the brand of garcinia I'm using. I had 30 lbs.. of successes with my diet and exercise program. We are talking about apatite and sugar craving control that I don't get with this brand that I did get with a brand that had an even lesser amount of the herb than this brand claims. I won't waste my money on this product again. Did you actually read my first review? I was pretty specific.

Good morning Mr. Mel,Most of the reviews I see from 2015 are highly positive for this product. I am not aware of any change to the ingredients and having used the product myself the rodents around my place eat it and die.

Thanks for replying. The concern about cholesterol is not from dairy fat. It is from oxidized fat, which happens when dairy is powdered (it also happens in homogenization process). You can learn more about this by reading what Nina Plank has to say in _Real Food: What to Eat and Why_ or at her sitewww.ninaplanck.com, on the Cholesterol Myths page at http://www.ravnskov.nu/cholesterol.htm and at www.westonaprice.org. I am not a paid promoter, just a passionate health pursuer!

I have not experienced any side effects. I am a forty three year old female and take no prescription meds. I prefer to stay healthy using alternative choices. This is proven to lower cholesterol, BP and other ailments naturally in three months. My cholesterol is 173, off BP meds after taking them for six years. Highly recommended by atlas orthogonist chiropractor.

Hi Patricia, My husband takes this product to lower his cholesterol. I haven't seen any weight loss in him since taking it. If you have no ailments holding you back, there is nothing better than good ole exercise. They say if you do 30 minutes of exercise a week and break it up into three times a week in ten minute intervals, you will keep from gaining weight. More only takes more weight off. Be blessed, Michone

I thought it was much better, having tried Omega XL. I re-ordered Tripernol, although through a different supplier this minth as there was a meaningful price difference, and I am disabled, so any savings is meaningful to me.Thank you, Terri
