RezVMax Review

RezVMax Review


RezVMax is another new product being sold as an anti-aging and weight loss supplement. It uses the primary ingredient resveratrol, which has gained some press in the last year. After a report on the news show, 60 Minutes, RezVMax and other new supplements went onto the market claiming that they specifically received the endorsement of the report by Barbra Walters. RezVMax states on their website that the product will:

• Increase metabolism to burn fat
• Lower risk of heart disease
• Lower cholesterol
• Increase sex drive
• Fight cancer and Alzheimer’s disease
• Reverse Aging

This is quite a list to try and live up to. It seems doubtful that RezVMax can be successful in providing all of these benefits.

How does RezVMax work?


RezVMax claims to perform all of its miracle cures by detoxifying the body. The makers of RezVMax tell us only 40 to 50 percent of the food we it is absorbed. The rest is somehow converted into toxins and stored in our body cells. RezVMax is vague on the details of this process but the rich antioxidants in RezVMax will remove the toxins, thus curing cancer, prolonging life, and reducing fat. These toxins are apparently the only factor keeping us all from being thin, attractive, and long-lived. RezVMax is just as vague in explaining how their product removes these toxins.

RezVMax Ingredients


Resveratrol, as contained in red wine, belongs to a group of antioxidants called polyphenols. Polyphenols have shown some promise in studies to help counter type 2 diabetes as it affects insulin and blood sugar levels. The resveratrol in RezVMax has not shown conclusively to reduce weight or reverse the aging process.

Resveratrol, as a dietary supplement, is largely untested and side effects are unknown at the present time. The makers of RezVMax do not divulge if there are other ingredients in the product and neither do they let you know exactly how much resveratrol it contains. It is dangerous to take any supplements without knowing what is in it and how much.

Buy RezVMax


RezVMax is sold online via a cookie-cutter website that is exactly the same as some other resveratrol products, such as Resveratrol Ultra. Curiously, their prices and terms are exactly the same as well. RezVMax is also sold on another website with a slightly improved design with similar terms.

RezVMax claims to offer a free trial where you pay only for shipping. However, when you give them your credit card number for shipping, they use the information to automatically enroll you in a subscription for RezVMax. If the subscription is not cancelled within 19 days of ordering (not when delivered), charge of $79.95 plus shipping will recur every 30 days. Customers have complained that when they try to call to cancel, either the call goes unanswered or the representatives make an excuse like there is a bad connection and they can’t hear anything.

Is RezVMax effective for anti-aging?


RezVMax is just another resveratrol supplement that does not provide any health benefits. RezVMax does not reverse aging and it does not help with weight loss. The RezVMax claims of curing cancer and detoxifying the body are also patently false. RezVMax offers absolutely nothing to the consumer and it is difficult, at best, to receive any kind of refund from them. It is best to avoid RezVMax and save your money for something that actually works as promised. There are anti-aging supplements out there that work. Your accountant and your conscience will thank you.

Resveratrol Ultra Review

Resveratrol Ultra Review


Resveratrol Ultra is another new dietary supplement containing the active ingredient resveratrol. Resveratrol is marketed as a miracle anti-aging compound with many other significant health benefits. Resveratrol is found in red wine and it is being held responsible for health benefits ranging from age reversal to weight loss. Resveratrol Ultra itself claims to be “America’s #1 Anti-Aging Pill.” Their website says it detoxifies muscle and fat tissues, burns fat, and cures breast cancer – all within days of taking the supplement. These claims of health benefits made by Resveratrol Ultra are serious and highly unbelievable.

How does Resveratrol Ultra Work?


Resveratrol Ultra delivers 125 mg of resveratrol in a capsule supplement. This is supposed to be equivalent to drinking 500 glasses of red wine. After consumption, resveratrol is said to not only enter the blood stream, but to affect genetic material. Proponents say Resveratrol Ultra will activate a special “survival” gene in the body’s cells known as SIRT1. While it sounds scientific and possible, there is no evidence that the SIRT1 gene requires any activation and scientists do not understand what it does beyond interacting with insulin and blood sugar levels.

Resveratrol Ultra Ingredients


There seems to be some disagreement as to the exact ingredients of Resveratrol Ultra since their own website does not provide any information on the subject. Some reviews report Resveratrol Ultra contains only 100 percent trans-resveratrol. Other reviews say it also contains sophora extract, an anti-allergen, and rutin. Resveratrol is an ingredient in red wine being held responsible for the longevity of wine drinkers in France and Italy.

Each dose of Resveratrol Ultra contains enough resveratrol extract to equal 500 glasses of wine even though there is no evidence that such large doses provide any health benefit. Such large doses may have serious side effects but it hasn’t been studied enough yet to know.

Buy Resveratrol Ultra


Resveratrol Ultra is sold online where they falsely claim to have the endorsement of the news program, 60 Minutes. The Resveratrol Ultra website immediately tries to pressure you into signing up for a free trial with a countdown clock telling you only 5 minutes remain to take advantage of the offer. This is also not true. Once a free trial is ordered, the company automatically enrolls you in a subscription. Your credit card will be billed a minimum of $79.95 every month unless you call in and cancel. The cancellation must be made within 19 days of the ordering date, not the shipping or receiving date. If it takes 10 days to ship, that leaves only 9 days to try it out.

Resveratrol Ultra says they have a money-back guarantee, but their terms are so bogged down in legal-speak, it is almost impossible to determine what circumstances warrant a refund.

Is Resveratrol Ultra effective for anti-aging?


While a single glass of red wine may have some health benefits, Resveratrol Ultra has none. Resveratrol Ultra will not reverse aging, it will not burn fat, and it will not cure cancer.

Resveratrol extract is a new and untested ingredient with unknown side effects. The Resveratrol Ultra terms and conditions are also so complicated, giving them a credit card number poses a serious risk. It is best to stay away from this product and look to others that actually work.
