Why I quit using Metagenics

1. Can't get product -- backorders up the wazoo.
2. Touting organic, but the products aren't (WTF?)
3. Touting research, but the research is really weak.

Other companies are far, far, easier to deal with, and, frankly, their products work. I have had few clinical successes with Metagenics.

Thought you guys would want to know what a doctor thinks.

I AM a doctor and have been for approx. 30 years and during that time have used metagenics. I would like to find any professional who has used another company or metagenics that could offer an intelligent response. They very rarely have backorders, are triple gmp certified for quality, are science backed by the best known names in the industry such as mark hyman and Jeffrey bland and are VERY competitive price wise offering good value and reasonable price.

OMG. This stream is as unbelievable as it is HYSTERICAL! Guess I'll just stick to my Medical MARAJUANA instead lol (was just randomly looking for a metagenics review). You GUYS should try some! (Seems to temper the testosterone).

NB: No, I'm NOT the aforementioned Lesbian, but guys like you make me WISH I could easily switch lol!

PS. What am I thinking using NB?!? Duh: AS IF the so called "morons" at work here know latin lol. Honesty, I feel the need for a shower after reading this stream. Nah, on second thought I'll just light up and laugh instead!

(Meanwhile, I'M anonymous too - but ONLY because I live in a deep-south police state where weed remains illegal).

I just happened to drive by looking at some vitamins online and thought I would check out this thread on Metagenics.

I was shocked to read some of the comments on this thread, but I must tell you some of them were hilarious. Some of these people need to go write for Bill Maher or other comedy shows because truly, as insane and inappropriate some of the comments were, they were also so dam funny and incredibly intelligent, and I laughed so hard until I got tears in my eyes.

But after all this, I agree, I am not going to try this product. I'll stick with my regular brand and it seems to work just fine for me.

Perhaps you should consider attending our "famous" Big Balls Jamboree the week- end of June 17, on Gig Harbor!
I'm sure you'll find it most enjoyable, and the music entertainment is simply the best. And Insinase IS the best. Please let me know if you would like to come, and I'd be happy to get you a special guest pass for any event!

I wil not dignify your comments. That is the exact reason I do not use you anymore. You and your company are arrogant and so full of yourselves. Please so you know this cafepharma board is linked to many chiropractic council sites. So we do read this. I am going to look for other sponsors and more professional treatment. Again metagenics alienates practices with smug and rude behavior.

So you're not a doctor, you're a quack?

And please be reminded about our yearly Big Balls Jamboree that takes place each June on Gig Harbor! The other author needs to come to our Big Balls Jamboree next June! After listening to and associating with our musical talent, he will become a fan of Metagenics!
 






Please scroll down to the end of your quotes so you may see in parenthesis the numerous grammar mistakes made in your responses. I took the liberty of correcting your, "abhorrent," English just as you politely did for another member. I figured you were berating that individual for the greater good as you seem like a pleasant guy/girl. You can always go on the offensive by correcting my corrections, or giving me the old, "if you have extra time to do this, you must be a loser," comments, but I'm sure you get the point. I only have a high school diploma and squeaked by English class. I actually never read an entire book until I deployed to Iraq at 23 years old. It still wasn't very difficult nor time consuming to make these corrections. The idea is, "you think your grammar don't stink." Well, in actuality, it does. I can't stand when people attack grammar during an argument. I will not be proofreading my own paragraph here, as my point has been proven. Don't be a tool and bully people you think you're smarter than. There is always someone smarter than you whom could tear you down and make you feel like a tool (hence myself). I came across this randomly and had to say something.

Dear "Anonymous"

One point at a time:

1. Its company's, not "companies" (that is plural)

2. Its forgot, not "forget" (that is present tense)

Ok, let's just take it as a given that your command of the English language is abhorrent...

3. Many raw materials are made in China and every company uses Chinese raw materials (even Xymogen ; ) The difference is that Meta has a QA/QC department that actually checks the imported material (unlike Xymogen ; )

4. Metagenics makes nearly all its own formulas and does quality control on every ingredient and every finished product (tell your doctor friends they can tour the facility any time! (just like Xymogen ; )

5. Metagenics does not sell over the internet, though some of their customers may do so. Xymogen will face the same problem soon enough.

6. Enteric coating costs more and so wholesale is higher. This would always be the case unless one uses cheap oil that lowers the cost (and that one can't test if one doesn't have a QA/QC department ; )

7. About research, it makes sense that a study will support a thesis, for example that boswellia controls inflammation. The important thing is actually doing research that at least in some way moves the science forward (like the research that Xymogen has done ; )

8. Metagenics does not put down other companies. In fact reps are told not to disparage the competition, it is bad selling practice. It seems that most put downs are targeted at Metagenics by ungrateful turds who spend their time anonymously taking pot shots.

9. "We throw out technical terms that no one understands and junk science to prove nothing but to get you to buy." Well, nothing more than this statement is needed to prove that you are an utter moron.

Dear Doctor, let me address your concerns:


1. Backorders - Yes, these are a problem. Metagenics actually manufactures their own formulas, over 400 of them. This is a monumental task. They have a quality control department with over 8 people making sure the products are free of toxins, meet label claim (“claims not claim. There should be a comma before etc.) etc. Further, thousands of ingredients go into the formulas. They want to make sure all of their customers have the formulas that (need a, “they,” here) like to use (comma) and that the products are top quality.


Please contrast this with companies that do not manufacture and that do not (should be, “don't) have a quality control infrastructure (Too many (ands) and parenthesis is not necessary as it would create a run on sentence). (There should be a period after infrastructure followed by a new sentence) and that offer less product variety, and that literally lift other companies formulas!). (exclamation point doesn't make sense in this context)


2. Organic - Metagenics uses organic raw material whenever possible. You should know (comma) that every plant derived ingredient is tested for actives and purity. This is far more due diligence than virtually any other nutrition company.


Please contrast this with companies that will say anything to get your business and make false statements about their products and other companies (run on sentence, too many ands without commas). I could spend all day on this one.


3. Research - Metagenics has over 20 people, most well degreed (comma) working on various research projects that add to the understanding of human health. They spend millions of dollars so doctors like you (comma) can offer patients better natural health solutions.


Please contrast this with companies who do zero research and merely attempt to knock off other company’s hard work at a lower price. (poor vocabulary using, "Please contrast," to start multiple sentences). Here are a few alternatives for your reference)


  • Please examine the practice of other companies who wills say anything to get your business (period).

  • Please compare

  • Metagenics differentiates themselves

  • Distinguish themselves from other companies

  • Etc.


Doctor, please consider who you are doing business with. Ask hard questions. If you do (comma) you will find that Metagenics is the only company that is (that's) (also can be removed entirely as putting two that's) looking out for your best interests and putting money to work instead of words, smoke, and mirrors.

1. One point at a time:

2. Its forgot, not "forget" (that is present tense)

Ok, let's just take it as a given that your command of the English language is abhorrent... (last time I checked one period would suffice as the correct usage of … would be in regards to a trailing off thought. This is obviously a completed statement)

3. Many raw materials are made in China and every company uses Chinese raw materials (even Xymogen ; ) (a period should follow your parenthesis).The difference is (comma) that Meta has a QA/QC department that actually checks the imported material (unlike Xymogen ; ) (a period should follow your parenthesis).

4. Metagenics makes nearly all (of) its own formulas and does (performs sounds better than does) quality control on every ingredient and every finished product (tell your doctor friends they can tour the facility any time! (just like Xymogen ; ) (period here. Plus there is no need for parenthesis, just create a new sentence. Exclamation point doesn’t fit the sentence)

5. Metagenics does not sell over the internet, though some of their customers may do so. Xymogen will face the same problem soon enough.

6. Enteric coating costs more and so wholesale is higher. This would (will) always be the case unless one uses cheap oil that lowers the cost (and that one can't test if one doesn't have a QA/QC department ; ) (period)

7. About research, it makes sense that a study will support a thesis, (period, begin new sentence) for example that boswellia (Boswellia – B should be capiltalized) controls inflammation. The important thing is actually doing research that at least in some way moves the science forward (like the research that Xymogen has done ; ) (period)

8. Metagenics does not (doesn’t) put down other companies. In fact reps are told not to disparage the competition, it is (it’s) bad selling practice. It seems that most put downs are targeted at Metagenics by ungrateful turds who spend their time anonymously taking pot shots.

9. "We throw out technical terms that no one understands and junk science to prove nothing but to get you to buy." Well, nothing more than this statement is needed to prove that you are an utter moron. (calling people names as an adult, not very professional).

Metagenics is present tense, as in old news, you have alot of time on your hands for a meta rep, so that tells me you are not a rep, maybe Timmy or someone high up on the greased pole.

So as we keep taking away your castle, you seem to "forget" we really do not care about you or metagenics anymore. It is funny to see you guys get your blood pressure up and react to these posts. The good doctor who posted you smeared and madE him/her feel like it does not matter what they think, the only thing that matters is metagenics. That is why you fail, Enron was a big company, Countrywide was the biggest, Global crossings, on and on, all make metagenics look like a speck of dirt in dollars, and you know what, they all failed, why GREED and LIES. Good luck, I hope you can get a job as an english teacher or a clerk at GNC. iHOPE i SPELLED EVERYTHING CORRECT AND USED THE PROPER PUNCTUATION IT REALLY MATTERS THAT YOU GRADE OUR SPELLING.
