I originally purchased the 500mg Transmax version and really felt a difference in my energy and attitude about life and had reordered it once. When it was time to reorder again, I saw that this 250mg (made by the same company) was on sale and buying 2 bottles of this was cheaper than one of the 500mg, so I decided to buy it, start with 1 pill, and if it didn’t work as well, I could increase to 2 pills and have the same thing. But it doesn’t seem to be the same. I have increased to 2 pills, but still don’t have the same energy or feeling of well-being that I had with the Transmax. My next reorder will be the Transmax.

I used the product just as instructed by their website. I made sure it was a hour before or after any meal. I took a high quality Fish oil (Kirkland)20 minutes before taking the pill. I am only taking 1 tablet daily and I am 290lbs so according to their site I should be taking more. I have pretty much had diarrhea every time I have taken it. I have been taking my regimen of 1 multi 1 vit D 2000mg 2 calcium 3 Kirkland fish oils daily for 3 years with no effects. The research I have found is that the ingredient Emodin is the culprit. Here is a clip from some research
So why there are so many consumers suffer from diarrhea?
Resveratrol is very safe and will not bring any uncomfortable to human body. The reason why consumers suffer from diarrhea is they take an unpurified resvaratrol from Japanese knotweed (Polygonum cuspidatum Sieb also called Hu Zhang). Japanese knotweed has an ingredient called Emodin.
Emodin is a component which will bring you into diarrhea trouble. Normally, there are 5% to 7% Emodin content in 50% resveratrol product which is extracted from Japanese knotweed. There are some factories who can reduce Emodin to be only 1% content or less.
Who can reduce the Emodin? Who can reduce a risk of diarrhea problem? No matter how high or how less the emodin is, you will meet the diarrhea problem as long as emodin is still present. Not everyone will meet a diarrhea problem even he receives a content of emodin into their body since different people have different sensitivity to emodin. The best way to avoid diarrhea problem is to choose non emodin resveratrol product or a resveratrol which is extract from Grape Skin. There is no emodin present in raw grape skin. So, you don’t need to worry about diarrhea problem, just enjoy the benefits resveratrol.
Here is the clip fro Bioforte’s site as to the ingredients;
Based on studies done to date virtually all of the benefits of Resveratrol derive from the Trans- Resveratrol isomer. Our Bioforte product has 250mg of bio-enhanced “Trans-Resveratrol” per all-vegetable Pfizer capsule. The remaining 250mg consists of the other forms of Resveratrol including glucosides of Resveratrol, Polydatin, Emodin and other beneficial compounds naturally found in the Polygonum Cuspidatum plant.
So it would appear that Edomin is the culprit. I just wish I had done a bit more research. Anybody who wants 2 unopened bottles let me know because Amazon won’t let me return the 2 bottles because my window expired on 5/1/10 on a 3/13 order. I think I will give Amazon a rest and shop elsewhere.

There are warnings on the internet that some Resveratrol products can cause diaherra and stomach cramping. I ordered two bottles of this from Amazon and that’s what happened to me….
