First things first. This is my actual name, I am a Chiropractor, and I practice in Southern California. I do not work for either nutritional supplement company, or any other supplement company.
I have recommended many Metagenics products to my patients, and I have tried Xymogen products myself and have prescribed them to my patients also.
I would like to point out that many of the anti-Metagenics postings on this forum are very immature, very offensive, and very unprofessional. If I was an administrator with either company, I would be embarrassed that these were my current or former employees.
Due to the feedback that I have received from my patients in response to their personal experience with trying both product lines, I have ceased marketing Xymogen products due to the fact that they (the patients and my office staff) requested to resume using the Metagenics products because they "felt more energy, more relief" than when they used the Xymogen product line. This feedback was conveyed primarily with the Wellness Essentials Vs. the Active Essentials product lines.
I will admit that I have experienced back-order issues with Metagenics. Yes it is frustrating!!! But I would rather wait for a product that is going to meet label claims and that I am assured of its quality. I would rather have my flight delayed instead of a company just trying to be on-time and ignore safety. I will not say that Xymogen products are unsafe or do not meet label claims, but I have not had subjective feedback from my patients to support the therapeutic benefits of Xymogen products.
Employees from either company can check their database and note that my account with both companies are in good standing, and verify that I am a real Chiropractor, giving first hand observations of both companies.
