Love my activated you. I take it daily. I know that these greens are the healthiest to kick start your day.
I have only been using my Activated You capsules for a month however I already am seeing a difference in my skin's tone, moisture level and comfort. I will continue to use and am excited to see how much better my skin will become with time.
Thank You!
I can't say it enough! Within days of taking the Essential Skin Food I can honestly say I see a difference and I feel a difference! I'm telling everyone! EVERYONE! You NEED to try this product and see for yourself. Thank you for continuing to make products that have our health, body and mind at the forefront! So happy I found you!
I had a form of cancer that grew in my abdominal cavity. It squashed and inhibited my entire GI tract for a year if not more until I was diagnosed. Now my GI is functioning well and I owe it to ActivatedYou and GI Prime. It has helped me be regular again and restored my energy.
My wife and I have been enjoying our Morning Complete to our smoothies for more than 2 years. Recently I lost my job and reordering was outside of the immediate budget. It was only tight for 1 month. That month taught me a great deal about how important Morning Complete is to us. The two things that are the most amazing and are clearly the result of using this product is the all day energy and less bags under the eyes. The all day energy is legit. My eyes pop open and I am alert and active for the entire day. I don't crave naps. It's tough to get a good nights sleep in Chicago. It's loud here. Anything that helps with the eye satchels is gold in my book!
Morning Complete is a smooth and gentile energy boost. I was a bummed to have to stop for a month. There was another time when I wasn't able to bring any with me on vacation where it was very wet and humid and keeping a powder dry and mixing would have been annoying. I wasn't "Jonesing". I didn't crave the product. I would recommend trying this product because it's gentile.
Morning Complete helps me drink less coffee. On the mornings that I have Morning Complete, I won't have a pick-me-up until later in the afternoon if necessary. I don't want or crave coffee or matcha, or tea or a sports drink for the majority of the day.
I would recommend trying this product for 3 months to anyone who wants to boost their energy in a really easy very smooth way. This product is subtle and it takes time to really feel the benefits.
With lots of water through out the day, Morning Complete makes our lives better. I can't recommend this product enough. Thanks!
I got mine on sep 3 2022 and the jar was expired on May 26,2022. Emailed and have not heard back. Also it tastes awful.
I can't vouch for the product due to it tasting so bad i couldn't drink it. But the company itself is horrible. I placed a one time order, they made it a subscription. I called in before the 2nd jar shipped to cancel it. The lady was very pushy about not cancelling, so just to get her off my back i agreed to suspend the membership for 12 months and that she would cancel the order and refund my money. She did neither. I received a 2nd bottle. Contacted them for a 2nd time and now they are saying since i cancelled after it was shipped i have to pay for return shipping. This was a company error, not mine, yet they are making me pay for their mistake. I would highly recommend staying away from this company.
Hello Elisabeth. My name is Chloe, I am with ActivatedYou. I deeply apologize for any inconvenience you have experienced. We hold our agents to high standards and we regret that you did not receive the service you deserve. I would like to escalate your review to our Customer Relations Team so that an agent may provide you with personalized care and ensure you are fully refunded for this order. Please email me at [email protected]. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Have a nice day.
The taste of the product is pretty blah, but I mix it into my morning shake so I don't taste a difference one way or the other. It does keep me more alert and awake during the day, great sleep at night. If anything I have less gas and bloating than before. I have LESS junkfood cravings which is a real plus. I think it probably depends on what else you eat to what sort of response you get from your body. I am whole foods plant based MOST of the time, sometimes leaning to junk-food vegan. This product seems to help me stay on track and not crave processed foods.
Not only does this taste vile, it doesn't do anything. Nothing. How do I get my money back. This is a scam.
Hello Joan. My name is Chloe. I am with ActivatedYou. I'm sorry to hear that you are not enjoying the taste of Morning Complete. Other customers in similar situations have found they enjoy the taste when mixing one scoop of Morning Complete with their favorite juice or smoothie. While some see results within a few days others will need more time. We suggest trying our formula for the full 90 days of the money back guarantee, to help ensure the best results. To help achieve better results, we recommend increasing your daily water intake and avoiding processed foods. As well as adding raw vegetables to your diet such as asparagus, garlic, dandelion greens, chicory root, artichokes, and onions. These vegetables contain natural prebiotics, which can greatly improve the effectiveness of your supplements. We do understand that our product may not be the best fit for everyone. For this reason, we stand by our 90 day money back guarantee. If you are still not seeing your desired results you may return it for a full refund. I would be happy to assist you with this process. Please email me at [email protected]. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Have a nice day.
I got the product a week ago
I followed the instructions how to take it
The 3rd day I started fever, stomach bloating, cannot poop, all my body muscles pain.
Let me tell you I cannot work, take care of my kid, my dogs, my husband. Because I cannot get out of my bed to cook for first two days, I have to ask my husband go buy me medicine, prune juice... Then I start to poop because of the prune juice, then I keep pooping the whole night, the fever keep coming back and go take the meds again and again til now.
I got stomachache because of the gas.
I do understand they tell me this products has a side effects.
I think this side effects cost me a l lot.
I don't even take any meds for long time.
This 4 days I took meds for fever over 20 pieces
I DO NOT think I have healthy Guts after this product
I do send them a request for refund and tell them what happened to me
Didn't get any response for two days
Thanks you ActivatedYou
Hello Cindy. My name is Chloe, I am with ActivatedYou. I am very sorry to hear about your experience. However, when taking a probiotic, what you mentioned can be normal. Some customers may experience what is commonly known as die-off symptoms. Die-off symptoms occur when the bad bacteria inside of your body is killed off. The bacteria releases toxins which your body does it's best to rid itself of, resulting in some unpleasant but short-lived side effects. Most customers do not experience this, but some may, depending on how much bad bacteria is inside your body. Die-off symptoms can include gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, skin breakouts, and various other stomach flu-like symptoms. For most people, this can be anywhere from 2-5 days but this may last up to two weeks. I can assure you, however, that these symptoms are very temporary and quite normal whenever a big change is made to someone's diet, lifestyle, or even their supplemental regimen. While most customers enjoy our formulas, we understand that they may not be for everyone. For this reason, we stand by our 90 day money back guarantee. I would like to escalate your review to our Customer Relations team. So that an agent can provide you with personalized care and ensure you are refunded. Please email me at [email protected]. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Have a nice day.
This product worked well, but I haven't been able to purchase any product for MONTHS! Customer support isn't available over phone; just email. They referred me to my bank to see why my payments weren't going through. Bank didn't see anything even attempted from ActivatedYou. I submitted several successful orders over the months using PayPal, only for the fulfillment warehouse to mark my order fraud despite a couple of attempts to add order comments and Support Team case numbers outlining the issues I was having. I asked the Support Team one last time for help with the ActivatedYou warehouse. Vivianna A. Obviously didn't read my email because they referred me to my bank to see why my payment wasn't going through.
Again, this is a fabulous product if you can get it, but cross your fingers you don't need help with anything. Unless you want a job where you get paid to skim emails and send automated replies without having to talk to a soul on the phone and offer any real help. If that's what you're looking for ActivatedYou is your golden ticket.
Hello Megan. My name is Chloe, I am with ActivatedYou. I am very sorry to hear about your experience. I would like to confirm that we are available over the phone. You may call 1-800-720-8403.

Container half empty and tastes like garbage. I've taken plenty of greens before and none have ever made my stomach so upset. Go to a health food store and buy a quality greens, not this garbage. Won't return my money because it's been 90 days since purchase, my fault I didn't read the return policy I guess but you'd think if it made me sick they would return my money. Terrible customer service said it was normal to feel gross after taking this product. I've never felt sick from other ones. Again, this is a very low quality product and don't order it. Gave 1 star because There is no option for zero stars.

I placed an order and was originally only going to purchase one but at checkout it gave me the option to upgrade to 3 orders at a much lower rate, so I upgraded it. Unfortunately the system is terrible, even the person at customer service said so, because it not only placed an order for 3 of the Morning Complete but also placed the order for 1. I was upgrading not placing another order for 3!
I immediately called Customer Service when I received the order confirmation to my email address and when I saw the 2 different charges on my credit card. I called Customer Service to cancel the 1 order and the woman also informed me it would take at least a month before I received my order…but yet they took my money immediately on my credit card! The woman kindly processed my refund within minutes of me placing my order and said it would take 3 to 5 business days, okay as long as I receive my refund that's fine. What is NOT fine is they took my funds at one exchange rate and refunded me at a lower exchange rate and now they have pocketed $11.00 of my money! $11.00 may not be much but that is not the point! If this company and Maggie Q pocket $11.00 from everyone who cancels an order …well that's a lot of money they are making! I called Activated You this morning and spoke again with Customer Service and explained the situation and they do not care and I said I expected a FULL REFUND and the person did not care, he said that is the way it goes! I am furious with what Activated You has done and I am writing this review so others do not become victims!
Hello Dina. My name is Chloe, I am with ActivatedYou. I deeply apologize for any inconvenience you have experienced. Our additional offers are limited promotions given to every customer as a "Thank You" for your initial purchase and to provide you with more product at a lower price. These offers do not replace the original order but are added to it. All offers also have a clear button to be declined. Regarding the exchange rate, we do not keep any percentage of a refund. Due to the constantly changing exchange rates between different currencies and banking institutions, our site will only display prices in USD. Also, all refunds will be processed in USD. Your bank does set the exchange rate for all purchases you make. If there is any difference in exchange rates we highly recommend contacting your bank. Again, I apologize for any inconvenience. If you ever have any questions, please feel free to email me at [email protected]. Have a nice day.
This product is a joke! I keep gaining weight every day since I have been taking it! Literally 1 pound every few days! I've been taking it for almost 2 weeks. Horrible bowel movements, I look 7 months pregnant, and worse every morning I step on the scale I've gained more weight! I haven't eaten in 2 days a solid good yet I've gained two pounds in just a few days! In total, since taking this crap, I've gained 4 pounds in the past 1 and 1/2 weeks! I'm done! Waste of so much money!

It's normal for me to not experience a bowel movement for 5 days (IBS), and when I finally do, it's not a good one, let's just leave it at that. So after starting ActivatedYou (2.5-3 weeks ago) I have had a bowel movement every day with the exception of 2 times. First, my bowel movements were nothing to write home about at least i was having them, but as time went on they started to change, and from what I believe, from doing research, they are now the healthy type we all wish we had. I'm nothing but excited about this. It's changed my life. I feel fantastic!
I ordered the Morning Complete after I saw advertisements for it online. I have daily constipation and bloating, and was hoping this product would help with both. I especially liked that it had probiotics AND prebiotics. It only made my problems worse! I have taken it for a month now, and don't think I can go on with it. I get terrible bloating (even stomach pain) and go to the bathroom even less than before. My husband, who has no problems with digestion or constipation, ended up being constipated as well! He said he will never touch it again (this made problems for him when there weren't any). I believe this product is a gimmick and a money grab. I don't know how anyone could stand behind a product that does not do what it says, and simply doesn't work! I also feel that many reviews (especially on the Activated You website, are either fake or paid... there is no way that it could have rated that high). Buyer beware!

Product never arrived. Received a "successful" delivery confirmation. I was at home that day - nothing arrived, so I contacted ActivatedYou. They replied that the delivery was unsuccessful and promised a refund within 3-5 days. Over 2 weeks later and emails without reply - still no refund. Have to take the case to PayPal.
Bad experience.

I eat a very clean diet, and don't experience gut issues, but I am always open to natural products that may improve the way my body functions. Unfortunately, as other reviewers have noted, Morning Complete caused bloating and constipation, where none was experienced before. After I stopped taking it I experienced painful colon contractions. I can only imagine that, for people whose guts function reasonably well, this product only introduces problems. I definitely wouldn't recommend this product unless perhaps one is desperate.
I will also echo the comments of another reviewer who expressed disappointment at the extreme waste in packaging materials. It's too egregious to be an issue of content settling, but it certainly is environmentally irresponsible.
Also, as another reviewer posted, I was told I was getting a refund, but I haven't seen it yet.

I read most of the reviews prior to purchase and still convinced myself to buy. I agree that the packaging is a little bazaar in that the tub is only half full but the contents weight is as advertised. The taste is subjective, some will love and some not; hardly something to write a bad review about. I have been using Morning Complete for approximately 3 weeks and do feel that I have seen some improvements in both energy levels and the ability to focus. It's a little early to comment on the weight loss effect and I will comment in due course. All in all I'm happy with the product and it would have been 5 stars if the packaging hadn't been a little wasteful.
I ordered these products online and when they arrived in the UK I had to pay £85 to clear customs. On the website, I was charged $10 for shipping. There was nothing mentioned about import taxes- as the ship internationally I assumed they had included all duties and fees in the price.
In 2022, it would not be rocket science for them to include the import duties. Most reputable, international businesses do just that.
I didn't try the products (I didn't pay the fees) but I feel this oversight is very misleading. Don't order outside of the US if you're not willing to pay the duties.
Hello Jill. My name is Chloe, I am with ActivatedYou. I apologize for any inconvenience you have experienced. Some international orders may incur a fee which must be paid before delivery. Please keep in mind that the customs fee is one that you will need to pay and unfortunately, we are unable to waive it as it is charged by your country's customs system. If the fees are not paid, the order will be returned. Once returned, our returns department will issue a full refund. Again, I apologize for any inconvenience. If you ever have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out. My email is [email protected]. Have a nice day.
