      @danistuart6677 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      She is not correct on any of it. She's showing partial information and went into this biased, My response to this video:
      First off, I don't know how this bashing comes from 8 hours of "research". You are clearly biased going into this and you must have a lot of time to waste. And I'm sure you know that there is a difference than a "pyramid scheme" than an MLM, right? You must have tried or know someone who has tried an MLM and were unsuccessful with it, or had a bad experience with a bad MLM. I agree that bad MLMs exist but you can't say they are all bad. But there's absolutely no reason to hate on all MLMs. There are some wonderful, legitimate MLMs out there. Pampered Chef for example, I own many, many Pampered chef products that I have had for over 25 years. They have a lifetime warranty and they have been selling great products for years. Same with Tupperware and many others.
      As far as Elomir, you are way off track. Elomir didn't launch until July 5th. They purposely waited until they had an exceptional product that they were very happy with that provides great results. The Brand Partners placed their orders on July 5th and we received them within a timely manner. The reason for the first phase or the "soft launch" to only brand partners was to prepare for the customer base by ensuring that everything worked correctly (the website, the ordering, the packaging, the shipping). Nothing that any other business wouldn't do. All businesses do a "soft launch". They were also waiting for the arrival of their largest, most efficient machine that had to be carefully and engineered specifically for the production of the product to arrive at the manufacturing facility. Their estimated time to be open fully to the customer base was the middle to end of August. However, things were running smoothly enough to open up to the customers on August 12th.
      This strip is not a drug, definitely not acid (LOL)... it's not illegal (NAC is NOT illegal), it doesn't make you high. It has three main natural ingredients: NAC, Curcumin and Thiamine.
      Now, let me tell you what Axis Klarity has done for me... I have been taking Axis Klarity for 63 days now... the first day I noticed I was in a much better mood. Not only did I notice, so did my husband. Now, he's an attorney who specializes in Criminal Defense and Family Law. That's NOT an easy job and it drains him and makes him a little moody and some days it's hard to stay on task. He noticed on day one that he was able to FOCUS and get stuff done. In fact, his legal assistant had to ask him that afternoon why he hadn't had lunch yet. No back to me... three days into taking the strip, I was no longer clenching my jaw and teeth. I've been doing that uncontrollably for at least 15 years. To the point that I have four cracked molars and my dentist had me try valium - which didn't touch it. Valium scares me so I wasn't excited about that. Next, about three week after beginning the strip, I went to one of my regular massage appointments. At the end of the massage, my therapist always stretches my neck to the right and then to the left. We were both in awe with the ease and range of motion when she turned my head to the left. It kept going! I haven't been able to look over my left shoulder in at least 20 years! (I suffer from autoimmune issues that affect my joints, tendons and ligaments in addition to arthritis in my neck, back, shoulders and hands.) Now, this is is just MY testimonial. There are plenty more to be heard... a good friend of mine who is diabetic (and has the Dexcom G6) has been taking insulin since a child has been using significantly less insulin because his levels have been mostly normal. He has even had days where he hasn't needed ANY insulin at all!
      As far as your "scam word salad", you are clearly not a scholar of science. All you had to do was google some of the ingredients and words used. They are real words and make perfect sense when you are talking about the combination of the ingredients and the delivery method. Encapsulation is one of the best methods to extend the shelf life of the ingredients. To do that, you need an optimal carrier that's appropriate for the application or delivery method. This allows the product to start working as soon as it's activated by the moisture (saliva) and gives it a little time to sit on the tongue to be absorbed directly into the blood stream, rather than the conventional method of taking a turmeric pill, an NAC pill and a vitamin B1 pill - in which case you MIGHT absorb 10%. It depends on the person. Some people with irritable bowel syndrome, hiatal hernias, diverticulitis, and those who have undergone bariatric surgery (including gastric sleeve or bypass).
      Let's talk about NAC... you jumped the gun on that one. NAC is NOT illegal and was NOT illegal and WILL NOT become illegal. When a supplement works well, BIG PHARMA wants their hands on it. They want the control of it because it's a money maker for them. NPA (Natural Products Association) filed a lawsuit against the FDA and won (August 1st). It was determined that NAC is excluded from the dietary supplement definition of the FD&C Act because NAC was approved as a new drug before it was marketed as a dietary supplement or as a food.
      Let's get to the delivery method, a substance will only take effect if it can be absorbed by the body, so bioavailability is the key to creating a supplement that delivers proven benefits. Bioavailability is a measure of how much a substance is able to access the circulation and reach the target area, and it depends on absorption (how much we get it) and secretion (how much we get out). Again, 85-90% of pills aren't absorbed into the blood stream at all. And in many cases, they don't even disintegrate by the time you empty your bowels.
      Elomir is definitely about the product and about helping people.

      Leave your aunt be... the strip and the company are legit. The gal who made this video went into it biased and only showed partial information. This is my response to the video:
      First off, I don't know how this bashing comes from 8 hours of "research". You are clearly biased going into this and you must have a lot of time to waste. And I'm sure you know that there is a difference than a "pyramid scheme" than an MLM, right? You must have tried or know someone who has tried an MLM and were unsuccessful with it, or had a bad experience with a bad MLM. I agree that bad MLMs exist but you can't say they are all bad. But there's absolutely no reason to hate on all MLMs. There are some wonderful, legitimate MLMs out there. Pampered Chef for example, I own many, many Pampered chef products that I have had for over 25 years. They have a lifetime warranty and they have been selling great products for years. Same with Tupperware and many others.
      As far as Elomir, you are way off track. Elomir didn't launch until July 5th. They purposely waited until they had an exceptional product that they were very happy with that provides great results. The Brand Partners placed their orders on July 5th and we received them within a timely manner. The reason for the first phase or the "soft launch" to only brand partners was to prepare for the customer base by ensuring that everything worked correctly (the website, the ordering, the packaging, the shipping). Nothing that any other business wouldn't do. All businesses do a "soft launch". They were also waiting for the arrival of their largest, most efficient machine that had to be carefully and engineered specifically for the production of the product to arrive at the manufacturing facility. Their estimated time to be open fully to the customer base was the middle to end of August. However, things were running smoothly enough to open up to the customers on August 12th.
      This strip is not a drug, definitely not acid (LOL)... it's not illegal (NAC is NOT illegal), it doesn't make you high. It has three main natural ingredients: NAC, Curcumin and Thiamine.
      Now, let me tell you what Axis Klarity has done for me... I have been taking Axis Klarity for 63 days now... the first day I noticed I was in a much better mood. Not only did I notice, so did my husband. Now, he's an attorney who specializes in Criminal Defense and Family Law. That's NOT an easy job and it drains him and makes him a little moody and some days it's hard to stay on task. He noticed on day one that he was able to FOCUS and get stuff done. In fact, his legal assistant had to ask him that afternoon why he hadn't had lunch yet. No back to me... three days into taking the strip, I was no longer clenching my jaw and teeth. I've been doing that uncontrollably for at least 15 years. To the point that I have four cracked molars and my dentist had me try valium - which didn't touch it. Valium scares me so I wasn't excited about that. Next, about three week after beginning the strip, I went to one of my regular massage appointments. At the end of the massage, my therapist always stretches my neck to the right and then to the left. We were both in awe with the ease and range of motion when she turned my head to the left. It kept going! I haven't been able to look over my left shoulder in at least 20 years! (I suffer from autoimmune issues that affect my joints, tendons and ligaments in addition to arthritis in my neck, back, shoulders and hands.) Now, this is is just MY testimonial. There are plenty more to be heard... a good friend of mine who is diabetic (and has the Dexcom G6) has been taking insulin since a child has been using significantly less insulin because his levels have been mostly normal. He has even had days where he hasn't needed ANY insulin at all!
      As far as your "scam word salad", you are clearly not a scholar of science. All you had to do was google some of the ingredients and words used. They are real words and make perfect sense when you are talking about the combination of the ingredients and the delivery method. Encapsulation is one of the best methods to extend the shelf life of the ingredients. To do that, you need an optimal carrier that's appropriate for the application or delivery method. This allows the product to start working as soon as it's activated by the moisture (saliva) and gives it a little time to sit on the tongue to be absorbed directly into the blood stream, rather than the conventional method of taking a turmeric pill, an NAC pill and a vitamin B1 pill - in which case you MIGHT absorb 10%. It depends on the person. Some people with irritable bowel syndrome, hiatal hernias, diverticulitis, and those who have undergone bariatric surgery (including gastric sleeve or bypass).
      Let's talk about NAC... you jumped the gun on that one. NAC is NOT illegal and was NOT illegal and WILL NOT become illegal. When a supplement works well, BIG PHARMA wants their hands on it. They want the control of it because it's a money maker for them. NPA (Natural Products Association) filed a lawsuit against the FDA and won (August 1st). It was determined that NAC is excluded from the dietary supplement definition of the FD&C Act because NAC was approved as a new drug before it was marketed as a dietary supplement or as a food.
      Let's get to the delivery method, a substance will only take effect if it can be absorbed by the body, so bioavailability is the key to creating a supplement that delivers proven benefits. Bioavailability is a measure of how much a substance is able to access the circulation and reach the target area, and it depends on absorption (how much we get it) and secretion (how much we get out). Again, 85-90% of pills aren't absorbed into the blood stream at all. And in many cases, they don't even disintegrate by the time you empty your bowels.
      Elomir is definitely about the product and about helping people.

      I have worked on extractors and molecular stills. This comes across as an attempted anthropomorphism of distillation equipment; if a machine(or group of them) cannot process a formula, it’s usually because the operator hasn’t figured out how to calibrate the machine to the specific formula, or the technology to synthesize the components doesn’t exist yet, OR (and what my vote is) the operator is not running the machine to specifications with regards to the specific formula, causing damage and/or loss of efficiency in cycle time and/or throughput. And no shame here actually, dialing in equipment to new formulas can take time, and also, machines can run into unexpected problems down the line with new formulas as well, and can need time-consuming maintenance and even repairs during production runs. The fact that they have delays is not intrinsically alarming to me for this reason.
      But saying a formula can’t be processed because it’s so awesome is not the same as saying chuck norris can’t get beaten up in a fight because he is so awesome at karate.
      That’s the tone of the announcement; formulas and distillation equipment don’t have egos.

I also caught a cold from friends... I upped my strips to 2x/day during the cold. I was recovered in about six days when it took them about 2-1/2 weeks to get over it.

I have toured the facility and saw the product being made and packaged. I have also taken the strip for 71 days now and it has been a godsend for me with my autoimmune issues. Her coverage of Elomir is half-assed, twisted and definitely biased.
