I am writing on behalf of a friend of mine who has Crohn’s Disease. We have been friends for eight years, and she has had Crohn’s Disease even longer than that. Crohn’s is a debilitating autoimmune disease that affects the gastrointestinal tract, causing abdominal pain and inflammation. Essentially it eats away at different parts of your digestive tract. I don’t know as much about the disease as a full-fledged patient might, but I have seen the effect Crohn’s has had on my friend’s body and mind. She would refuse to eat at times, losing large chunks of weight. Sometimes she would be in the hospital for days at a time. Recently she tried a certain multi vitamin spray that has been gaining attention across the web. She has been singing its praises for weeks now, so I thought if this spray can make her this happy, other Crohn’s patients should hear about it.
Crohn’s has no cure, no magical pill. The only treatment is to control the symptoms and prevent relapse. Hospital stays are long and painful, but if you are reading this now and have Crohn’s, you already know. You know that eating is sometimes a coinflip decision. You know that even though it hurts, you have to choke down that handful of vitamins each morning and all through the day. My friend was the same way. She had to go every month to get an injection of B12, because an injection will absorb better than any pill. Recently she has stopped going to get her monthly injection. She says that because of this spray she feels “a bazillion times better than I have since being diagnosed 10 years ago.”
So what is this product? I looked it up and found that it is an MLM product. (multi-level marketing) In other words, the company would rather you buy their product in order to sell it and have people under you sell it. This type of marketing has received scrutiny from many on the web. Some say that, “for every person that succeeds in the business, there must be others who fail.”
I do not know much about MLM, but I do know that MLM’s succeed if the product works. The company that sells these “next generation nutritionals” is called AliveMax. AliveMax makes claims of “rapid absorption” and “high impact results.” With up to 98% absorption, the spray beats vitamin pills absorption (10%) hands down. They also make an anti-aging spray and energy spray, but the vitamin spray has much more to offer nutritionally. All the ingredients are listed on their website.
Basically, the vitamin spray is loaded down with vitamins. A serving size is 7 sprays, or “sprits” as I call them. In one “serving” is Hawaiian Spirulina, which is a nutrient dense whole food that helps strengthen the immune system. Also contained in the spray is Chlorophyll, which counteracts many toxins in the body and helps with inflammation. One serving holds 1000% of your Recommended Daily Value of Vitamin B12, as well as 500% of B6. 100% of your RDV for eight other vitamins and minerals is also present, including Iodine, Manganese, Biotin, Riboflavin, and Vitamins E and C. All of this in a spray! The base of the spray is primarily purified water, with some natural flavor. Also included is citric acid, potassium citrate, sodium benzoate and other ingredients that preserve freshness.
Again, to sum up, I have decided to write this today on behalf of my friend who has Crohn’s. Since taking this vitamin spray she feels rejuvenated. I want others who have this terrible disease to have some peace in their lives as well. In all my research on this product I have found many on the web who claim it is a scam or a flop. I have also found people who claim it is a legit MLM. All I know is I have seen first hand the absorption power it holds and the results it has given to one Crohn’s patient. I don’t care about AliveMax, or the hundreds signing up to “make thousands.” I just want to see something on the shelves someday giving people who live with Chron’s some comfort and peace.
