Anyone use zrii and ningxia red?

zrii was pushed upon me by my old llmd as some miracle product..didnt do anything for me

I guess what I really meant was whether these are legitimate, in terms of, do they really contain their listed primary ingredients, wolfberry for one and amalaki for the other, I don't really care what the advertising claims may be.  The reason I'm concerned about this is because I can't seem to find these products sold on the websites of mainstream supplement suppliers(which doesn't necessarily mean anything bad, but I personally would expect to be able to find a good product on the website at least one of the national supplement store chains...  Are there any other brands of products that contain wolfberry or amalaki that I can search for, for comparison?

The point behind this being - I have been reading some things that extol the virtues of "synergy" of nutrients; and therefore I am in the process of preparing a broadly scoped diet and supplement plan, attempting to include as wide a range of things as possible, and these looked like as good a thing to include as any. 

On a side note, unrelated to these two products, two questions about vitamins/herbs/etc in gelcap form.

One, if I take everything I've planned out, that will be like 25 gelcaps a day.  Is there any problem with ingesting that much gelatin in that form?

Two, as far as shelf life of a bottle of, say, Vitamin C, or a herb like Cat's Claw.  If it says the Best Used By date is, for example, Dec 2009, is shelf life affected by the fact I've already had them open for over a year?   Or is it sufficient that they are still in their gelcaps?  My Zrii bottle and Ningxia Red packs are around a year old too... 

someone posted on another forum that zrii helped reduce or eliminate floaters...if that's the case, order me a case

Saxmar,

Call them (Zrii contact phone: (801) 878-8000) and tell them if they don't cancel your auto account immediately and refund your money for all deliveries back to the date when you first contacted them about cancelling your account with them, you will do all of the following:

1) Report them to the Better Business Bureau (for their refusal to cancel your account and lousy customer service ~ follow through on this threat)
2) Have your lawyer contact them about harrassment (don't tell them you don't have a lawyer...sometimes it is the threat alone that makes them behave)
3) Tell everyone you know never to buy their product (you've already done some of this by posting here)

Follow this phone conversation with the same info in a letter, sent to the Zrii corporate hq:
Zrii Corporate Headquarters
14183 So. Minuteman Drive
Draper, UT 84020

Another thing you can do is refuse the package when the delivery comes to your door - tell the postal carrier or delivery person you are refusing to accept the package and close your door. If you know you won't be home when the delivery happens, leave a note on the door with specifics of which package you refuse (i.e., sender's name & address) or call the delivery service (USPS/FedEx/UPS) and inform them of this.

Also, write to your credit card company and tell them that all charges made to your account by Zrii since the date you originally contacted Zrii are "disputed charges" and as such you will not be paying them.

I know this is a pain in the keester to do all this, but it may be successful and it may get you some money back to boot.

I hope this helps - good luck,

i have gone thro same thing by different online folks and TV orders, i just call my bank to stop them from making charges to my accounts, i also singed the paper work for them to go after the compney and then told said compney that i was going to sue them, boy i got my money back right fast, also make sure you tell them to deled all your info from there files or you will go after them for anything else they send you.

These posts are hilarious! Of course DeepakChopra knows they are using his name...do some research! As to cancelling the product...just call customer service and do it..there is no mystery here. They are very conscientious and responsive...just tell them you want to cancel...there is even a toll free # 866-349-9911. As to whether or not it works...yes it really does. HOWEVER, it is NOT a miracle..you must take it regularly at least 2-3 times/day and maybe you will not see results for 3-6 months. You will see differences in your health with daily use in digestion, pain etc, but you do have to take it! There is a wealth of documented research available if anyone wants to take the time to look for it.
go to www.zriiproduct.com to look at the research to date...the company has spent a great deal of money to do intensive research, and it has certifications no other product has. Also NO preservatives which, if you are not aware, are carcinogens.
Hope this helps you .
