MCT Wellness Powder to Support Energy, Ketone Production and Brain Health, Keto Friendly, Sugar Free (90 Day Supply, Raspberry Medley)

The first time I had tried this, my sister gifted me a container. I drank it a few times and then set it aside and forgot about it. One night while surfing YouTube I ran across Dr. Gundry's (excessively long) commercial, and actually watched it all the way through. I remember I had a container, so I made a commitment to follow through and try it again, and see how I liked it. I purchased the Watermelon First of all, it doesn't dissolve easily, which may be why I had set it aside to begin with. I figured out a way to alleviate that by mixing a scoop with a bit of hot water (two tablespoons?), and letting it dissolve, then adding ice and water. That absolutely did the trick. I use a two-cup mason jar with a lid and shake it up real good with the hot water (some might prefer a blender, but for me that's just another thing to wash), and then add the ice and fill the jar with the water and shake again. I drink it first thing in the morning. I love the taste, and it quenches my morning thirst. SO, I started my commitment on February 3rd, and within two weeks I knew I didn't want to be without it, or have to wait with a gap between the time I run out and delivery of more, so I ordered 3 more jars. I went to the Gundry website first, then checked Amazon and found it to be slightly less expensive, so I ordered. When writing reviews, most people want answers to basic questions like, Is it real?, Did it arrive on time?, does it work? and Does it cause bloating, or other stomach issues? Yes, it's the real deal when ordering from his Amazon site. It arrived in just a couple of days. It did not, or has not caused me any stomach issues. Does it work???? Well it had greatly diminished my appetite, and quite frankly for the first time in a long time I feel nourished by the foods I am eating. I know that sounds strange, but I have always had cravings for odd things, and I see that I am not only not craving things, I just don't want them anymore. (Except chocolate... I always crave a little chocolate). I absolutely have more energy, and not like a boost of caffeine. I can't even drink coffee because I don't like the caffeine buzz, so this is different. I just feel like doing more, getting my chores done, overall wellness and nourishment. So, maybe watching that unbelievably long commercial was worth it. I would advise Dr. Gundry to shorten that up a bit. It's way too long and probably turns people off. After my next three jars are gone I'll come back with another review when I purchase three more.

My boyfriend drinks this in place of 3 cups of coffee in the morning. It gives him good nutrition, and a feeling of fullness so he doesn't eat alot thru out the day. He really likes it and the flavor.

I have been on a weight loss journey for a year, eating in a calorie deficit, hitting the gym 5 days a week, etc, but have only lost about 20 pounds. My husband tried to help and suggested this powder to help me make more progress. It tasted okay, though it didn't mix well. Two days in, I couldn't urinate, though I had continued to drink 16 cups of water a day, as I had for the past year. Constipation also started at that time, despite consuming 30+ of fiber every day (also as I had for a year). I continued to take it hoping that the symptoms would pass. After a couple of days, those specific symptoms did get a bit better, but I still felt extremely puffy and bloated. My legs and feet were swollen, my rings and watch hurt to wear because my fingers and wrists were so swollen. A week into taking this powder, I had gained 10 pounds, the same amount it had taken me 6 months of diet and exercise to lose. All of that on top of being quite expensive. Would not recommend.

I took a chance this would be worth the price and spent about $150 on 3 containers; the only option available. I've had no change in energy levels at all, no change in appetite, no weight loss I can attribute to this product. The powder is difficult to blend with room temp or cold water, and leaves a lot of surprisingly tart clumps behind. It's not an enjoyable product, though it smells wonderful. A simple B-Complex EZ Melt tab works much better for energy, and I've returned to apple cider vinegar caps for appetite control and have started losing weight again (the oil may be the issue with this product). I still have 2 containers left and no reason to keep using the product. Lesson learned, again. If it's overpriced and sounds too good to be true, it's a waste of money. Edited to add, the seller contacted me and offered a full refund, which I gratefully accepted. For this reason, I'm bumping the item up 2 stars.

UPDATED: 09/26/25 After using for a few more weeks found the trick was to make with hot water. Then drink after it cooled a bit. After taste is gone because it blended and not gritty. 4 stars now. raspberry flavor. Not a fan of this flavor, but that's just me. I know its supposed to be good for me so keeping it and using it (,previously reported 2 stars-Has after taste. Took me awhile to figure how to tolerate taste. Water and frother / blender: still left grit. Taste not good. Tried with apple juice. Better taste but still grit & keep stirring. Finally did in hot water and all blended. Waited to cool and drank. Hoping to see benefits. not crazy about after taste.)

This works great for weight loss if you combine it with morning fasting, a low carb, nutrient dense, high protein diet and take a 1 hour walk 3 times a week or 30 minute walk daily. I was able to lose 40lbs in 6 months. I went from 209lbs to 167lbs even with my heart failure. I'm much healthier now, have more energy and fewer complications from obesity and I'm stronger. I burned fat for most of the day and didn't get hungry until late afternoon and then I ate a medium sized, satisfying meal of protein, vegetables, small amounts of complex carbs and a fruit for dessert. In the evenings I would have a protein snack like a cheese stick or some nuts with some herbal tea or lemonade sweetened with Monkfruit. If you expect to be able to keeping eating a high carb, high fat, fast food diet, don't do any activity and think this product alone will help you lose weight, then think again. It works best with a low carb, high protein, nutrient dense diet with some healthy fats and regular, moderate exercise.

Gundry MD MCT Wellness Powder mixes well, no clumps and has a good taste.
