Resveratrol
Be sure to read the fine print if you want to get the "Free" resveratrol sample! I signed up for it from their site and I noticed an ad for it on this site. When you sign up for it, you are agreeing to pay $87.13 plus S&H EVERY MONTH for a supply! There is a tiny part at the bottom of the page that says, "terms and conditions" which nobody reads. Including me!

Luckily my credit card company called us with a fraud alert when the charge appeared on our account. We had to let it go through, however, because it isn't actually fraud because I did sign up for the free sample and gave them my credit card no. I thought I was pretty savvy about these things, but I missed it.:mad: I cancelled the order but will probably receive the first month's supply. I will just send it back registered mail when it comes.

Caveat Emptor!

1. If they ask for a CC # the you can bet
there will be a charge for it eventually, ESPECIALLY if the word free is attached somewhere. Always read that fine print.

5. I just look at the demand for the CC#
and realize it's a scam.

That's when I exit the site.

I don't need anything that bad.

8. The reason I had to give my CC# was because
of a small shipping charge - $3.95. My sister had the same thing happen to her and she sent the product back certified mail and it was accepted and the charge taken off her CC. Whew!

2. That's the common catch with these "free samples".
If you read the 'Terms and Conditions' it will include that
info in micro small print.

Buyer Beware!

I'm sorry you had to go through this.

No doubt, you've helped others avoid that pitfall
-Thank you!

3. I also heard an interview that a review was done
of commercial resveratrol on the market - and many had next to none. Beware the supplier.

6. Next to none of what's on the label
which is a real problem throughout the herbal/vitamin/supplement industry.

A few suppliers try to be honest. Many don't.

Herbs are especially difficult to quantify since potency for those that actually do something varies widely from season to season.

10. ironically..or not..it was advetised above your request...
http://www.ceilume.com/index.cfm?gclid=CILMmN-0xJoCFR7yDAod4lbNsw

they are beautiful...not as cheap as the cheap looking tiles..and are light in weight, but they can be painted, washed, layered with the 'other tiles'...which we will probably do...but they are beautiful!\

and they will send you 3 tiles of your choice absolutely free...not even charge shipping...we ended up spending over 200 after our sample tiles

11. If you like revservatrol
Try this site:

www.vitacost.com

I've been doing biz with them several years now and they have good prices and products.

The same shit they're flogging for 60-80 dollars elsewhere is $9.99 on their site. No frills, but who needs a fancy package?

12. What company?
Resveratrol is manufactured by several different health food companies. We carry one at the clinic doesn't cost near as much as what you have posted. I hate it when fly by night companies cop onto supplements and run scams.

13. The company is just called "Resveratrol Ultra"
and is located in Hollywood, FL.

I got the bottle today. I am definitely returning it by certified mail tomorrow. They could have cancelled this shipment. I called them in time! :grr:

14. go with NOW foods
It is a reputable company and my doctor thinks highly enough of their Reseveratrol that she stocks it in her office. You can buy NOW products at most health food stores.
