Resveratrol Scams

When something gets popular, scammers come out of the woodwork. That’s the way it is with Resveratrol. Once Oprah got Dr. Oz on this supplement, it was all over except the hyping. Here are a few things to watch out for:

1. Free Trials. There is really nothing free about these offers. You do get to try out the product for 2-3 weeks but you have to jump through a lot of hoops to cancel. They will have your credit card number and they will charge your card every month or two months until you jump through every hoop. I’ve even seen offers where you cannot call, email or go online–instead you have to send the empty bottle in the snail mail! If you really want to try one of these, ResVerXP has the most lenient terms.
2. Resveratrol Review Sites. These are websites where they review three to five different “brands” of Resveratrol. They are put up by affiliates of the Resveratrol distributors and most likely the recommended one is the one that pays the largest commission. I’m not saying that every review site is like this, but many are, especially if there is very little other content on the site.
3. Low dosage and poor quality. It will be difficult to sort this out but you can look for several clues. The minimum dosage should be 250mg. There are some brands as low as 50. Is it made in the USA? If it was manufactured in the US in a certified facility, you have some assurance of quality control. Any reputable distributor should offer a money back guarantee as well.

I am an affiliate for a great company called Healthy Choice Naturals. Their Resveratrol is manufactured in the US in a fully compliant GMP certified facility and they never auto-ship. You only pay for product you actually order. As of this date, a bottle costs $28–not $87 like the “free trial” companies. And the per bottle price goes down (as low as $18)  if you order more than one. Here’s the label from the bottle so you can compare with other distributors.
