I have had great success with this product, I've been taking these for 7 months. My doctor is thrilled with my numbers and I'm thrilled too.

Hello, I bought one recently at Walgreens and the ingredients have changed compared to the one I bought 1 year ago. I tried the new one for a few weeks and I agree with some people here that the old version was more efficient.Question: How can I buy the old version (1 year ago about ) of this product? On Amazon? Thanks. Cedric

The green labeled product "PBF" (plaque-biofilm loosening formula is a light green clear gel with a slight mint taste. The blue labeled product "Fresh Mint Original" is creamy white and has a light peppermint flavor. I like them both. For me, they both keep my mouth fresh. I haven't been diagnosed with dry mouth. My periodontist started me on samples. I also use the Dry Mouth Mouthwash which has no alcohol. It tastes like mouthwash without alcohol. I haven't tried the oral rinse. WARNING: Keep these products away from your pets, especially DOGS. Keep all products with Xylitol away from your dog. According to the FDA, Xylitol can be deadly to a dog. "Xylitol is approved for human use and considered a safe sugar alternative for people. It is commonly used in sugar-free products such as candy, chewing gum, and baked goods and often a component to oral hygiene products like mouthwash and toothpaste. Xylitol can also be found in over-the-counter-medications, vitamins, and throat lozenges. Xylitol is also available in bulk for at home baking. Xylitol, a sugar compound sourced from the Birch tree, has been recently discovered to be 100 PERCENT LETHAL TO DOGS. In dogs, Xylitol causes a rapid release of insulin, causing a sharp decrease in blood sugar. It also can alter the electrolytes, potassium and phosphorus. Dogs can become depressed, uncoordinated, and weak. In severe cases, liver failure and coagulopathy (difficulty in blood clotting) can occur. Large amounts of Xylitol can cause seizures, coma, and even death. Symptoms can occur within minutes to days of ingestion of even a small amount (half of a stick of gum). If you think your pet has ingested any product containing Xylitol, contact your veterinarian or the Animal Poison Control Center immediately." This is not something everyone is aware of, so please spread the word. I hope all of this info helped.

I first found my information on this product from the magazine First fo Women dated 8-25-2014. It was from an article with Dr. OZ about one of his broadcast that aired in February of 2014 about this product. The article gave a suggestion as to that company would be a good place to purchase this product by one of the lady's featured. I have had no side effect or anything bad. I have not been trying very hard to exercise or follow a 2000 cal. Diet as suggested in the article. I do feel that it might be working, however I have been on the product for two days.

I have been taking this once a day for almost 2 years - the fat is gone from everywhere! Also noticed a significant increase in stamina. Yes - this takes TIME to work, it is not magic. I buy 3 - 6 boxes at a time to save money and can only afford one gel a day not the two gels as recommended. It may be cheaper on their website or special offers from manufacturer.

Did you buy these and did they work for your Golden? I have a GSP with this issue, using the Help Em Up Harness as well and ordering the Back on Track products as well. Using other therapies and hoping for a turn around. It's been a real challenge. Mine went lame on 6.16.14 from disc issues and was dragging hind paws initially. Hope you've seen your Vet or one who specializes in this area. I live in Dallas, TX and Dr Barton at Heal Vet does a lot of therapy for dogs with these issues, she is very kind and busy. Dr Giggleman here also does Vet Chiropractic, he is very gentle. Never allow your dog to get Chiro under anesthesia however. Did you buy these and did they work for your Golden?

The last jar we ordered has an Expiration Date of 06/2016. At this point, we are giving our 50 pound dog 2 heaping scoops a day, which is about 2/3 of the recommended dose, and we use a jar about every 2 months. He is also taking Azodyl (a probiotic, also available on Amazon) and Benazepril, a prescription medication. We are also giving a liter of sub-q lactated ringers every 3 days. He was in kidney failure 6 months ago, but he's holding steady. Going strong with a great appetite. We would do anything we can to him around as long as he enjoys living, and we do feel that this product is helping a great deal. The last jar we ordered has an Expiration Date of 06/2016.

Hi Trevor, this is Benebone here. Every dog is different. Our product is super-strong, but at the same time it's got just a little bit of give so it does not damage teeth. In the end, you'll have to see for yourself. But one thing is for sure - we stand by our product. We are committed to customer satisfaction. So if you aren't satisfied, please contact us via our website. Please closely monitor wear and remove long before risk of breaking apart. All the best. Peter at Benebone.

I believe the formula changed. I have not tried the newer version so I can not say whether it works or not. I have read many reviews that it does not work. I found the older version of the product online awhile back and ordered a few of them. I have had great success with the older version. Best Wishes.

Nothing. It's the sellers here on Amazon trying to rip us off. I also heard that Nioxin is supposedly reformulating the product, but not to try and sell it for the prices these greedy opportunists on Amazon are trying to get. It's not the company charging these prices. It's because of it's lack of availability right now. I thought it was supposed to reformulated by now. You've got me curious about again. It's been a couple of years since I was looking for this. It was a good product once, it didn't need improvement (probably had ingredients in it that weren't supposed to be there). I paid the same thing you did. Hopefully, it will be coming out soon. Plus, if sellers still have the old stuff, it has to be REALLY old and probably expired by now.

honestly, i have not been taking the Omega XL in the past year. I simply take the Carlson's Cod Liver Oil from Norway and it seems to be doing the job. I don't have any inflammatory conditions, etc. so i could not speak to those.

Hello , this did not work for my two older dogs . Ingredient list :http://www.nexstepbiosciences.com/suofin.html &gt; go to this website and find the ingredients they reveal .. However it is really important to have an exam/xrays at your vet and then ask for them to help you treat it aggressively , I use BUFFERIN for my large ,older dog , wrapped in a peanut butter sandwish or cheese.. but it's a very temporary help and "chews" are about worthless . Injections you can get a script for online ,may be the right answer , depending on your situation . Wasting money is all I have done here ! http://www.adequancanine.us/

I contacted the manufacturer and they responded as follows. They have also corrected the label image."Thanks for bringing this to our attention and I am sorry for the issue. The Cholesterol indication was incorrect, please see the attached corrected Label.SincerelyPeterHHFarm"

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

Yes, they have reduced the newt weight of the package. With that said, they are still worth the price. If you have a small dog, be sure to get the normal size chew, not the " Big Boys ". They are a thinner slice and easier to chew. I cut the larger pieces in half. Side note, remember what goes in orange comes out orange, so don't be alarmed. Introduce slowly, the high fibre has it's affect.

I bought mine about 2 months ago. The "best by" date on mine were all 9-25-2014. Since my dog is small, he only gets 1 per day which means I will go beyond the "best by" date by about 3 months. Since the individual packages are well sealed I don't anticipate any problems. By the way these treats really do work. My dog moves around pretty good now. He is almost 10 years old and has been on them for 2 years.

I called pedigree and talked to them and they said, they stopped making them , because not enough got sold. That's why they discontinued them. It helped out my dog a lot and now I have to hunt down something else. This is how it always works, the good stuff gets discontinued and the not so good stuff sticks around forever.
