How Does It Work? | The Science Behind ActivatedYou
The way this line of products works depends on the specific supplement that one uses. For example, the Activated You Enzymes include, among others, amylase, a digestive enzyme that helps in the breakdown of carbohydrates. It acts on starch in food, breaking it down into smaller digestible molecules.
The Advanced Restorative Probiotic may help maintain the right population of healthy bacteria inside the gut for improved digestion.
On the other hand, Schisandra fruit extract in the Adrenal Life supplement has some scientific evidence that seems to back its claims of supporting relaxation, calmness and reducing stress, as seen in one report in the Chinese Medical Journal [6].

ActivatedYou Customer Reviews & Results – What Users Are Saying
Some of the feedback in this line of supplements seems encouraging. Most users are saying they experienced notable changes in their gut health.
I bought these 2 products to repair any damage I may have to my gut. I don’t think I’ve had any adverse reactions, but I don’t feel any benefits either. There is the 2nd & 3rd things I’ve bought from ActivatedYou. Morning Complete was the 1st and that worked great. I saw results within the first 8 hours after my first scoop. ~ by Christen
I have seen news feeds of my favorite actress Maggie Q on Facebook endorsing this product so I thought I would give it a try because I needed something to give me more energy and feel less bloated. I’ve been taking it for about a month and a half now. It took a while to get used to the taste but I feel that it’s helping my digestive system and I may have lost a little weight and do feel less bloated but still don’t have much energy. That could be because I work 10 hour days and don’t get much sleep though Lol I recommend ActivatedYou supplements to anybody that needs help with their digestive system. ~ by Mark Beck
I’ve been taking this supplement daily for several months now and I can honestly say that I’ve never felt better. It’s become part of my routine. My energy level is more consistent throughout the day, my bowel habits are more regular, my sugar cravings are at bay, etc., As far as weight loss, I, personally, have not lost weight which was my original impetus for buying the product but the way I feel is more important and I really do feel great. The taste is good as well. I actually enjoy it hot after I drink my matcha green tea in the morning. Highly recommend, at least to jump-start a healthy regimen. I also enjoy the regular emails I receive with recipes and health tips! ~ by Heather
Others claim they feel more relaxed after using the Adrenal Life.
I see it says to mix into 8 oz of water or other liquids. Is there an issue mixing it into 16 or 20 oz of liquid? ~ review by Doug

Unpleasant jitters after using ActivatedYou
I am 63 with no health issues. I liked the combination of so many of my usual supplements in one product. However, I never take metabolic products as I have no weight issues and have good energy levels. After taking ActivatedYou the first time I noticed I had the jitters and felt like I had taken speed – a very anxious and unfocused stressed feeling. After a week I could not stay hydrated despite drinking far more water than my usual intake. The jitters got worse, I became hopelessly constipated and I quit taking the product and returned it. Still waiting for a refund. Beware of the strange metabolic enhancers – basically a powerful ‘diet’ pill in disguise.
Some really good, some not so good
The flavor has finally grown on me, thankfully. The good part of this product is that is has definitely helped me feel less tired, I used to have to take naps, now I very rarely take naps. Another good part is that it has helped with my bloating, tremendously. It has also helped me to be more selective of when and what I eat, but the reason for that is the horrible gas that seems to go along with this product. I have done a lot of trial and error trying to figure out what causes the extra gas. Sometimes the gas gets so bad, it actually frustrates me and makes me want to quit taking it. I was going to request a refund but was told the gas is normal, that it’s the product pushing the bad out of my gut with the good (Morning Complete) that I am putting in it. I like that idea so I have kept with it. As far as having more bowel movements, no such luck there, and as far as losing weight, no such luck there either, but weight really wasn’t part of my goals with this product. I’m still on the fence about whether I will order another 90 day round of this or not. So in summary, it has helped me tremendously with fatigue and bloating, but left me with some bad smelly gas.
It seems to be working
Morning Complete has helped restore regular elimination in only 4 days of use. I am still trying to get used to the slightly bitter after taste.
I like the product
I really like taking the product. I take it to loose weight but to also get the nutrition I need. I take it in the morning just with water. I would absolutely prefer if there was a n organic version with no natural or artificial flavors. This is the only complaint I have.
Not sure yet
I love the ingredient list. Have been taking this every day for about 3 weeks. Possibly increased energy, but nothing dramatic yet. No weight loss either. I do have some bloating, which is apparently a good early sign. Not the best tasting, but not awful either.
