So, in the name of science, here is one of the products I tried for myself: First Vita Plus

How did I get to know about the product:

My mom's experience:

My mom started to take the First Vita Plus health drink during the first week of June. She has a history of high cholesterol and takes various medication to treat it. We got her a laboratory examination on the before we started to have a figure in mind where we started to monitor. Her cholesterol at that time was at 198 mgs/dL. A bit too high, of course. So, my mother agreed to drink twice a day First Vita Plus for two months. After a vigilant intake of that supplement, we went to the doctor and had another lab test, and to our surprise, it went down about 30 notches. A very good result for her lipid profile! Although, the price for one month is quite expensive.

MX3 Plus Capsules

Alternative medicine is the most widely used method to prevent or even possibly treat diseases especially in the Philippines. Here in our Philippine market, many herbal supplements have been introduced. There are many doubts and many that can do testimonies to it its effectiveness.

So, in the name of science, here is one of the products I tried for myself: MX3 Plus Capsules

How did I get to know about the product:

I got so intrigued about the many ads on billboards along Quirino avenue, ads on radio and the big screens about that certain health wonder, called "MX3 natural pure xanthone", a food supplement made of mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana), which comes in different forms like capsule, tea, coffee, jam and soap. Well since they highly publicized and made amazing claims, I thought there must be something about it. So I tried the capsules named MX3 Plus Capsules for a month.

Garcinia mangostana

Price:
It was sort of pricey... Each capsule cost Php16.80. So, for one month = Php1,512. Be aware, if you buy it outside from a third party, except to pay a mark-up. But if it is all in the name of health and science... go for it. Boy, I thought, this gonna be better good or else...

Intake:

I was advised to take one (1) capsule three times a day before meals with plenty of water or preferably MX3 Tea until symptoms are no longer evident, if there are any symptoms existing.

The products claims of health benefits:
  • This herbal product contains an antioxidant known as a xanthone. 
  • ENHANCES SEXUAL ENERGY and athletic or sports related activities.
  • LOWER BAD CHOLESTEROL and enhances the production of good cholesterol.
  • PREVENTION OF CONGESTIVE HEART DISEASES cause by dietary deficiencies, genetic disorder, liver or kidney problem.
  • Recommended for patients undergoing CHEMOTHERAPHY (CANCER) because of its ability to detoxify the body of the toxic and ill-effects of the medication.
  • Prevention and TREATMENT OF OVERACTIVE THYROIDS (hyperthyroidism) manifested by insomnia, nervousness and palpitation.
  • Therapeutic benefits to people who SUFFERED HEART ATTACTKS or diagnosed with coronary heart diseases. It has the ability to pump blood efficiently this improving.
  • Good news for people who wants to QUIT SMOKING of its ability to detoxify the body of nicotine thus allowing the smoker to withdraw from its addictive urge to smoke.
My experience:

Some disclaimer to start with: Whenever I try a new product I am trying to keep in mind the benefits it is promising, but I remain calm in order not to blur my judgement and expectations. I have no pains nor any injuries. Well, i though hope that I always could loose some pounds with these kinds of products, but I remain realistically during this month.
I took the capsule three times a day before a meal. I even tried to keep the same time schedule just to be sure. The first week I have to say I did not feel anything different. Even the second week. Although, my bowel movement became more regulated. I am just not sure if it was because of the oatmeal I started to take. Yet, in the middle of the second week, I woke up more fit in the morning. I felt more alert and less sleepy over the day. I really wondered about it, but I believe it is because of the MX3. The feeling did not subside in the third and last week. I am quite surprised about the outcome and can only recommend this product to all Dabaoenos!
At the end I would even recommend that if you have not any symptoms you are advised to take just one capsule a day - to give it a try and see if the MX3 capsule works for you in the first days/weeks. And yes, I lost three pounds during that month! A little success!
