No, I won't be taking them. There's nothing in the list of ingredients that would smell like this. I'm not talking about a faint whiff of something odd. This is a strong and distinct chemical smell. But don't take my word for it. Sign up and get a free bottle for yourself.

Thanks as I tried them for a couple of days and they did nothing, perhaps I did not give them enough time.

This stuff is snake oil.

Companies, owners face federal fraud charges for selling dietary supplements | KY3 | Local

They were arrested with $17 million in the bank. Finally...

It's C R A P-ola, I tried it for 3 months and it had absolutely no affect at all.

They made it sound good, but I spent a lot of $$ for nothing.

Save your money for exercise equipment!

I never heard of these before. So they do not do anything? I will try and ask my doctor next appointment.

Don't waste your time or money. First, you won't be able to get it, because the people were thrown in jail and will soon be in prison for their fake medical claims.

The identical product also was claimed to treat a host of other medical conditions (unrelated to diabetes). They did no medical testing. It was all marketing and no product.

They made $17 million by fooling people into believing their marketing. People who wanted to believe paid $300 for a bottle of sawdust pills and the 60% of people who are prone to the placebo effect thought that "maybe" something was different. (In reality, swallowing an M&M would have probably been better.)

Where in this ky3 article, or the indictment, is Vitabase or Dr. Kevin Passero mentioned?
