On the first two days that I took 500mg Transmax I got a low-grade fever like when you get a flu shot. I think the Resveratol was reving up my immune system or it caused my white blood cells to react to something in my body and kill it I hope. After two days I was fine, and after the first week of taking 500mg Transmax when I was working out on a cross trainer at the gym I was reaching a higher level of speed than I ever did before and I thought the unit was broken. No it wasn't, I was really going that fast and at my age I am over 65.

I now have more energy, my 20 minute walks in the morning are now over an hour, I sleep better than I ever did and awake earlier in the morning and my hair is getting darker in colour and I have this overwhelming feeling of wellbeing like I got my pink cloud feeling back.

This is within a few weeks of taking Transmax, so this is truly a miracle molecule. Never mind the French Paradox theory, look to early civilizations for the answers to the Resveratrol and longevity issue. In the Bible people lived to a very old age, they also mixed the fruit of the vine with water and drank this mix all the time from the very young to the very old. Do you think someone could connect the dots here?

Thank you Biotivia for Transmax I am a 65 yr old disabled war veteran and I am starting to get my mojo back.

John Westwood, Disabled War Veteran, Australia

Last year a doctor friend of mine gave us a bottle of Biotivia's Bioforte. She said the product has lowered her cholesterol from 288 to 199. She said her stamina, energy and immune system has kept her from contacting serious illnesses from fellow employees. Due to the neglience of someone else my husband has a brain injury that has effected his frontal lobe and the fluid accummulation has reduced his brain size to 1/4 left. He started taking bioforte and began retaining information that he could not concievably due in the past. My husband started to sing to me one afternoon while we were driving along. The tears came running down my face for joy. He had never sung to me like that since he had acquired the brain injury. His energy and alertness is inspiring me to hope for his lifespan to be much longer. I gave a bottle to a neighbour who was suffering from severe depression. She had not been back to work for more than 3 years. She said the product gave her a feeling of happiness and a sense of joy. In less than 2 months she has returned to work fulltime and thanked me.

I am a 56 year old sales ragent with a very busy schedule and recently (2 weeks ago) added TransMax to my daily supplement list. I take many recommended supplements and have never really felt any difference in my daily stamina level when taking them or not taking them.

However, the next day after I started taking TransMax I immediately noticed an improvement in my vitality and stamina. This increase in stamina has helped me be more productive during the business week and make it much easier to complete my hot Saturday morning lawnmowing sessions.

It's a great product and I intend on continuing its use.

J. R. Reid, Sales Representative, Chicago

My initial impression after only a few days taking Transmax was that I felt like I was 20 years old again. I am now actually 42. I have had subsequent very positive experiences including improved concentration and physical and mental energy. I have given Transmax to some of my colleagues and some elite athletes, including our top olympic athlete, who has since won a European Championships gold medal. One elite swimmer who I also placed on Transmax has reported a significant improvement in his times. No other supplement or change in training schedules have had this effect in over ten years.

A patient on whom I did a bone morphogenic protein (BMP) augmentation, who I observed to be a "slow healer" previously, exhibited accelerated healing and improved overall recovery subsequent to my repairing of a large vertical defect in the patients upper jaw.

David Simpson, Loma Linda Professor, MD, Oral Surgeon and Bone Graft Specialist, California

The purpose for my recent order is to provide Transmax to some family and friends,  and to patients for whom I consider T-resv to be an add-on option to their therapy (Metformin). Last not least, I always try supplements myself first before I advice clients or patients to use them.

My personal experience with T-Resv is strongly positive. I added it about one year ago to my supplement regimen. So far I have experienced increased concentration, higher energy levels, and a loss of body fat. The Bio Quench and Bios Span supplements do also look very interesting.

Pablo Bachmeier, Internist, Germany

I have just started to use the Transmax product. After two months, I wake up with more energy which lasts the whole day. I usually sleep well, but now I sleep better and fall asleep quicker. I also believe that my mental energy is improved, better attention and improved memory. This is a great benefit to me in my practice.

Michael Jamison, Orthopedic Surgeon, New York

For over two years now, I have done extensive investigation in metabolic disease management and aerobic performance improvement seen in subjects taking resveratrol on a regular basis. Based upon in vitro studies, it appears resvertrol increases mitochondrial numbers and mass in the skeletal muscle tissue, therefore improving performance in cardiovascular performance. An additional benefit to the non-athlete is the apparent control of metabolic syndrome abnormalities, such as glucose intolerance and hyperlipidemia. After much research and consultation with physician colleagues, I believe resveratrol has significant benefits to human subjects both for aerobic performance and for medical treatment. Given the strong evidence, I embarked on a trial of resveratrol (1 to 2 gm per day) for myself eight months ago. I immediately noted an improvement in my recovery time after long, difficult, five and six hour training rides; and an improved cardiovascular threshold. In fact in 2008, I won the USA Cycling men's 40-44 year old (40 km) time trial national championship. Understanding the many variables in training for a national athletic event, I feel confident this addition in my nutrition improved my competitive edge.

Joseph A. Lorenti M.D., Internist, Kentucky

I just wanted to update you on what has transpired in my life since I began taking Bioforte & Transmax. I began taking Bioforte 2 months ago. After just 2 weeks I noticed that the arthrirtis in my ankle was much improved. My ankle used to hurt so much that I walked flat footed, and could not raise up my toe on my right foot. Now I have full motion with so little pain that I can ignore the minor ache. I also made a real attempt to stop snacking between meals. I noticed that after beginning the Bioforte that I started to lose weight. My energy after 30 days improved noticeably.

4 months prior to starting Bioforte I had started to work out in the pool after a 40 year lay off. After the first month taking 2 Bioforte's each day my body seemed to have much more energy. My times improved to where at age 64 I am now swimming at the same level as I did in competition when I was 18years old on the swim team in High school. On the 21st June 2008 I went to the Senior Olympics in Columbia, Missouri. I entered 3 events, the 50yd, 100yd & 200yd Breast Stroke. I won all three. I also beat every other person in that event who were in the younger age groups. Later I discovered that I broke the Missouri State Records for the 60 to 64 age group. I will be 65 in 4 months and plan to go back next year to break the records for 65 to 69.

One thing that you warned be of is that the Bioforte will make one's stools soft. When I began taking Bioforte I started with 2 a day. This made my stools very loose. I have found that one Transmax and one Bioforte is a better combination for someone who needs a lot for their exercise program. On another note I started my wife on just 1 bioforte each day. She experienced some soft stools for about a week, but thereafter her body adjusted and there was no problem. The best part is that after 2 weeks taking Bioforte, her knees stopped hurting while doing step aerobics. She is doing aerobics 3 days a week and on some occasions when really pushing the steps, she would have aching knees afterward. This problem is now history; she has no more aches in her knees. My wife is 63.

Another success story is my College Coach, Tom Hairabedian. He is 84 years young. He was silver medalist in 1952, in 10metre platform diving. He had started to have problems with his knees. After taking Bioforte for 2 weeks his knees stopped hurting. I hired Tom to coach me for the Nationals next year. Now he is so pumped that he is thinking of taking up swimming in the Senior Olympics next year.

You can continue to disbelieve that this works, but if you do you are dead wrong. It does seem hard to believe that one thing can really give you this much boost. I would suggest to anyone, that if they will begin doing exercise and take Bioforte & Transmax, in 30 days they will be feeling better, no matter what condition that they start in. People must also realize that there are many rip off ads rip off ads for RESVERATROL. That is why I used your trade names in my description of your products. If you Google Resveratrol you might not find the site that is the same quality as the pharmaceutical grade called "Transmax" This is the purest and is the one used in the studies at Harvard. It took me a month of searching the internet to find you, so I am careful to let everyone know how to find you.

I wrote you about how Boforte & Transmax have helped me on 15th July 2008. On the 28th July 2008 I dislocated my knee on the diving board. I went to my work out the next day on crutches. After swimming 2000 yards I could walk. I kept the pace up each day & 4 days later competed in the Missouri Valley Confrence Swim meet on Aug 2nd. I broke all the records in the Breast Stroke for the seniors age 65 on the Kansas side of the state line. This was in a 50 meter pool. My times for the 50, 100 & 200 meters were all 5 seconds better than the existing records that were set 18 years ago. I went skiing the next day and skied with out any pain. I truly believe that Resveratrol had something to do with this.

Thank you for a wonderful product!

Dave Noble, CEO Software Controllers Inc, Kansas City

I work in an environment populated by extremely bright, multi-tasking and driven people who are typically characterized as type A workaholics. Our firm is a start-up financial services company which went public a couple of years ago. We run at a relentless pace towards achieving the vision of dominating our markets. Our way is too outsmart the competition. Although the challenges can be exhiliarating, they are also exhausting. I am now working harder that I ever have, and need to work harder still. Working 10-11 hour days plus weekends is not unusual. There were stretches where I worked 12-15 hour days in addition to the usual 10 for weeks on end with no break on weekends. I could not begin to keep up until I started taking Biotivia's Resveratrol products. I was a disbeliever until I found myself outlasting guys many years younger than me. If you require energy for marathon like endurance, take the little green pills. You won't regret it.

Felix Turner, Portfolio Manager, Bermuda

Recently I have purchased some resveratrol from a number of different companies such as the Life Extension Foundation and Cellular Health Technologies and have been appalled by the horrible chemical taste and odour of their product. I just bought some of yours and was delighted to find that it really didn't have any smell at all, and the taste was not offensive. Why did those other products have such offensive olfactory and gustatory characteristics? What are they doing in their manufacturing process to reek so badly? Most people would not notice because they just pop the capsule into their mouth, but I open one or two when I start a new bottle to give perform a taste/smell test. Your product passed this "rigorous quality control assay" with flying colours!

Wilem Thomas, Biochemist, Washington DC

Resveratrol is a metabolic all-star. I began using the Biotivia brand of trans-resveratrol with my paients because of Biotivias' commitment to research, scientific integrity, and the safest most effective formulation of resveratrol. My patients make more positive comments on the benefits they feel from Biotivia's trans-resveratrol than any other supplement they take. The compliance is excellent. One patient began giving his 13 year old Shih Tzu the product. The results paralleled the description of the mice in the Harvard study. After 3 months of taking the resveratrol the dog's activity changed dramatically and progressively from his long-term lethargic state to playing and running with his 2 younger companions.

Seth Chapman, Anethesiologist, Texas

I run a clinic where most of my patients are overweight and have many other health problems. I started taking your product 3 months ago and have lost fifteen pounds without changing my supplement regimen, and my blood profile has improved. I plan to now start recommending your Resveratrol products to my patients who I think can benefit.

Francisco Kelly, Endocrinologist, Texas

One of the things that I have noticed since I started taking your Bioforte is very unexpected: my moustache has turned black!

I should clarify things; I had a moustache for about 25 years from age 19 until I shaved it off at age 44 when it began to have too much white. The whole thing looked grey! (People said I looked younger after I took it off!) I am now 50.

Anyway a couple of weeks ago I came home after work (we have been renovating a couple of flats) and looked in the mirror and thought "My face is dirty; I've even got soot on my moustache!" So I washed my face. I hadn't shaved for a couple of days ( I sometimes miss a couple). But after washing, the area between nose and top lip was still black! I was so intrigued I have let it grow. It certainly looks blacker on the whole than before. Still a few white hairs here and there, but they seem to be much fewer. My hair colour is brown and my moustache was always dark brown but now it seems even darker. Very strange!

Unfortunately I haven't noticed any fewer white hairs on my head. I have silver patches at each temple. I am hoping they'll disappear!

The pity is, it is not something I expected so there is no way to measure it. It is only subjective. In fact I don't know if I can even find a photo of me with my moustache to compare. In any case I would be at least 6 years younger.

Robert Hanna, Retired MD, Australia

I have been taking Bioforte now for a little over two months and it is hard to describe but I have the feeling of a natural high. I have tremendous mental clarity and an overall feeling of well being which I have never experienced before. Although these effects are subjective they are distinct and continuing.

Charlene Frank, Oncologist, New York

Resveratrol has given me more energy and my wife now says I am constantly fixing things around the house. I seem to sleep more easily, deeper and I seldom wake up during the night like I use to.

Buck Donnelly, Retired, Florida

Transmax is a fine thing in my eyes. Although I do have a normal body mass index I use it as a fitness reinforcer (one capsule each day). It seems to be more easy to move with light legs and the efforts of my muscles have become more enjoyable. Because I use other supplements as well it is difficult to tell about other undisputable effects which the substance surely has, however the effects I mentioned began just after I started to take Bioforte in addition to the Transmax, two capsules per day.

F. Bbjornstrand, Internist, Switzerland

In my 30 years of training in gyms across he country and in my 13 years of practising as a chiropractor this Transmax is the most powerful supplement that I have come across.I now feel 10 years younger.

Sean Barro, Chiropractor, San Francisco

Since I began taking Bioforte I have lost some weight and have been able to maintain this lower weight with no problem. I do not experience any food cravings anymore and my concentration has greatly improved. Since I began taking Bioflu I have not gotten sick although all my roomates and many fellow students seem to always be ill.

William Wilson, College Student, California

About my melasma: it is severe. It covers both cheeks and I have a mustache. I have large splotches on my cheeks which break into spots close to the hair line. By this time of the summer, it is so dark that it cannot be covered with makeup. It looks like I have dirt on my face. It bothers me, but I actually can live with it. Quite frankly, I obsess over my weight more than the melasma. But, then, that's a problem for a different forum. I have not proactively tried to treat it, due in large part to reading on this forum the endless futility of other people's attempts to treat it.

Okay. So, back in April, I became very interested in the reports of the remarkable effects of trans-resveratrol for treating just about everything. I have a PhD, I am a researcher/professor at a university. My research isn't in medicine. I am a cognitive scientist. Anyway, I spent many hours on PubMed looking up studies on resveratrol. The bottom line is I am so impressed with it, that I wanted to take it. So, I spent many hours reading about supplements. Purity is important. And the 2 brands that I have purchased and taken because of independent verification of 99% purity are Relentless Improvement (300 mg of trans resveratrol from Polygonum Cuspidatum) and Biotivia's Transmax (500 mg trans resveratrol also from Polygonum Cuspidatum). You can order these products online from the respective company's websites.

The resveratrol is in powder form and comes in capsules. And, it is NOT cheap! I am taking about 1000 mg per day. It was at this dosage that I felt positive effects: I sleep better, have more energy during the day, have lower appetite (I've lost 10 lbs in 3 weeks), and I just feel better. So, one day, I got the idea to break open a 500 mg Biotivia Transmax capsule and mix it in my small 4 oz bottle of Cetaphil's daily moisturizer, which was about 2/3 full. I put about a nickel size amount on my face in the morning and at night. After about a week of doing this, my melasma was fading. There was no peeling, nor irritation of any sort. It simply is fading. I hardly have a mustache. I am in the sun regularly (I ride horses), and I am not good about wearing sunscreen. So, usually my melasma is very pronounced at this point in the summer (I live in IN). But, it's fading. I don't know if it will completely fade. And, I don't know if it is from the cream or my taking 1000 mg of trans-resveratrol per day orally, or both. I think that it is the cream.

I don't know if this experiment of mine will yield the same beneficial effects for anyone else. It would give me enormous pleasure if it helped even just one person. And, I would be thrilled beyond belief if it helped many people. I think that everyone who posts on this forum feels this way.

I will do my best to answer people's questions about what I've been doing, as well as report on the status of my melasma.

UPDATE 3 DAYS LATER ------------

Okay, no more melasma over my upper lip (moustache is gone). The melasma on my right cheek has faded more so than on my chin and left cheek, but everything is fading.

I should mention that I am a 43 year old caucasion female. I've never been pregnant, nor on birth control. The melasma became noticeable about 15 years ago.
