| It’s best for bone type pain. I was skeptical. Started giving it to a horse with 3 fractured vertebrae. He’s feeling better, acting like a colt and running much better than before it. I started myself on it for my planter fasciitis. It’s helped tremendously, and nothing else has. But I won’t lie...the first week was really rough. I guess it was flushing my kidney’s. I felt like I had a bladder infection and was constantly having to pee 24/7. After about 5 days, it stopped. I’m no longer waking up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. Prior to starting it, getting up at least once in the night has been going on for the past 3 years or so. After seeing doglady’s testimony, knowing her personally and how she doesn’t buy into anything... that speaks volumes. She was in a horrific car crash and was told she’d probably never ride again. She’s now off of all pain meds and pretty much kicking ass considering what she went through.

It’s cheaper by about $10 if you become a distributor. That’s why I became one. I don’t try to sell it though. I signed up just for the bit of a price break. I also tried it prior to going this route. I ones pushing it were such a huge turn off that it took me months to even try it. But given what Fame has, I decided there was nothing to lose and everything to gain if it did help. Plus it was relatively cheap to try for a few months. |

I was told that it works better if you take it with fat since it’s fat soluable. I know it took doglady something like 3 months before she noticed a difference. I think I read somewhere that it’s roughly 1 month for every year the problem has been there? Don’t quote me on that though. I have no idea if it’s true or not. |

          Location: 31 lengths farms | I’ve had great personal success with it. Fractured my back 10 or so years ago, was no longer able to run or workout, left leg went numb when I rode. Started the NRF2 2.5 years ago, subtle changes first. Then last year about this time I got to go back to the gym, running short distances again. And this summer was able to not only load and unload a ton of hay but was still able to get all 3 horses ridden afterward and get all 3 ridden the next day also. 3 years ago my fiancé was having to sit me up in bed first thing in the morning... no, I’m not selling the product. |

     Location: Northwest | I’m personally taking it. And NRF1 and Axio. I’ve added those because I was seeing results with the NRF2. I’m not a distributor. I’ve had very impressive results with it controlling my endometriosis pain. And I tore my meniscus this winter and the NRF2 really managed my pain while healing. My horses are also on it. I had a young horse that was struggling with ulcers and he’s had an amazing turn around. My other horse is overall just moving better! I tell everyone about it! It’s not designed to fix a certain problem. Just make your body able to heal itself essentially. |

| I think its great if people are seeing results. And I even know of some locals here in Utah that are seeing results. They are all attorneys with suits filed against LifeVantage, the parent company of 2NRF. The reason the product is afordable is described as follows: "LifeVantage is nothing more than a pyramid scheme dressed up as a multi-level marketer (an “MLM”) of dietary supplements. LifeVantage induces people to become Distributors with sales pitches promising wealth and business independence, and its marketing and compensation system encourages its Distributors to recruit others into the system with the same promises of wealth and business independence. Distributors pay money to participate in the business opportunity, which funds LifeVantage’s payments and “bonuses” to other Distributors. Despite LifeVantage’s claims of retail sales, little money comes in to the system from actual retail users of LifeVantage products disconnected from the business opportunity. The majority of its retail sales are monthly sales to its Distributors purchasing product in order to participate in the compensation system and remain eligible to receive bonuses. Distributors really can only make money by bringing in new Distributors – a classic pyramid scheme." |

          Location: 31 lengths farms | Not a distributor and my back doesn't know anything about whether I make money with it or not... I do know there are people who took it and had no results. Me personally, I prefer being able to get myself up into the seated position in the morning and not having to have someone sit me up. I've read that it seems to help more with skeletal type issues than soft tissue. |

  Location: Illinois | The company has had a lot of lawsuits against them over it. A few girls I know just buy the 5 ingredients seperately on amazon and give that to their horses &/or themselves, they say works just the same and is cheaper. Little more time consuming though. One switched to just using turmeric and said that alone worked just as well. I do think it's a pyramid scheme and it'll eventaully fade away |

Mrs. Troy
   Location: western Nebraska | I haven’t shared my story on here yet. I had a bad car wreck in Sept 2017 The surgeons that put me back together told me I would never ride again and I would always limp. Well that isn’t who I am so of course I started riding. It wasn’t easy and my right leg didn’t work. So basically I was just on top along for the ride. That was ok but I was still in a lot of pain and I limp. Last fall I heard about the nrf2 and I ordered it for my husband because basically nothing was going to help me. He took it for three weeks and quit because he said it wasn’t doing anything. I started taking it and took it for two months. I didn’t think it did anything for me either but we had one more bottle so I took that. One morning when I went to take the handfuls of pain pills that started my day I thought I felt pretty good so I didn’t take as many. By the fifth month I wasn’t taking any. And now I am not limping any more. I have no pain. My husband has been on it for a month now after seeing my results. I just became a distributor a month ago because so many people asked me why I was doing better and I wanted to share it with them. I dont get my product any less than anyone else does. If you buy it with auto shipping it is $10 a bottle cheaper. I spend a lot less on the nrf2 than I was spending on all the pain pills and different things I was trying. I also am sleeping better and just feel good. I will never say it is a cure all or try to push it on anyone. But it has helped me so much. I also have put my horses on it. One of my horses got kicked and had a very bad bone bruise. My vet thought it would take three months to get him sound. I put him on two a day and in five weeks he was sound I am a believer and I am a very skeptical person. I also wanted to say that I take Thrive and I use Monet hair products and was using R&F and I have never tried to sell any of those products and never will. I am not salesman. I am just sharing my story and hoping it will help someone else as much as it has me

I first gave it shoved into an apple slice. Now I just toss the pill into their alfalfa mash in the morning. |

     Location: Wonderful Wyoming | I joined the company because it is cheaper and give it to Audie. I'm not sure if I can tell a difference but we'll see. I had down to earth people tell me about it for simple issues- general soreness etc. My biggest issue is how they advertise! OMG it sounds like the biggest hoax of all time. I could screen shot post after post that are just plain nuts and I know these same posts scare away more people that what they bring in. I think the company needs a group meeting with these distributors. There is no way with the ingredients it can FIX all the issues people think it is. |

This is exactly why it took me so long to take the plunge. With Fame, I have no plans on stopping his neck injections. I’m not about to risk battling wobblers on yet another horse. I started him because he does have an arthritis/bone issue so I figured I didn’t have anything to lose. I was just hoping the NRF2 would help the injections do a better job. He’s feeling like a colt now and has turned into an absolute pest because he’s obviously pain free for the first time in a long time. |

    Location: SoCal | I started it myself before giving to my horses. I'm at the end of my 3rd month. As someone who has always had severe cramping, muscle spasms, etc from endometriosis, it's been a blessing. Complete difference, I went from being in bed for days because of it, unable to move out of a ball, and now I actually still have energy, can work, and live life. Nothing else has worked, and I used to have to take pain meds that I shouldn't have had to in order to function. I've also noticed reduced inflammation from my ear peircings. They weren't done correctly, and I've always had a lot of swelling/scarring, and it's pretty much gone. It's been like this for nearly 5 years, so for it to be gone within a month of starting the pill... My coworkers have noticed a better mood and more energy from me, probably because since being on it, I sleep through the night instead of waking up 5-6x. I started a dog I have with seizures on it since he was getting worse on meds from my vet, and he's doing much better. Seizure meds were making him lethargic, waking up in puddles of drool, and yet he was still having multiple seizures daily, and they kept getting worse. He's back to his happy self, and has seizures every once in a while. It didn't "fix" him, but the day I started him on it, I didn't think he'd live another few days, and yet here he is 3 months later. For my horses, my anxious horse I notice is more relaxed and smoother strided. She's completely differnet hauling on it. Had a loose dog a couple weeks ago, and that was driving her mad, so I added a sample I had of MagMax and she's the calmest she's ever been. She was not on MagMax when I was hauling her, but she did get GastroPlex paste. My other mare kicked the fence back in June after being bred, and has had a huge knot on her leg since then, and there is a noticeable difference in the swelling decrease. She also would get swollen around her coronet bands on her front feet, and that is gone too. She's also had a mood improvement lol One takes it with a handful of her pellets, the other just gets it thrown into her pellets. If I need to give it alone, I put it on top of a treat and they eat it. My grandmother has not been able to bend her knee in probably ten years, and within weeks could actually get it to move. For me, it was worth trying it, and I've noticed enough changes to stay on it. |

    Location: North Dakota | My 26 year old gelding is on it. I am not sure how it can be a multi vitamin when it consists of 5 herbs?? I tried it as a last ditch effort to help my old gelding in his battle with what seemed to be winter lamintis. I had him looked at my vet quickly after things start in early January and the suggestion was previcox, boots, pads and wrap his legs. So I did that. I will tell you that he was on bute and then switched to previcox and he was still in the major hurts even then. I think he was laying down more than he was up at that point. It had been a month of nearly zero improvement, possibly even worse off than the start. He was laying down all the time. He was on 2 grams of bute twice a day and then switched over to 2 horse doses of previcox a day to start then down to one. The high dose of bute helped some but he was not moving normal even on that (but better than without). The bute though was causing some major digestive upset for him. The previcox seemed to do nothing. I wasn't getting any sleep and was afraid this was how it was all going to end for my boy. I purchased two bottles of NRF2 on a whim. I weaned him off of previox as it wasn't helping anyways and I wanted a true test as to whether or not this stuff helped. I kept him in his boots, pads and socks on his legs as it was below zero here in ND and winter laminitis one of the key things is keeping their legs warm. One week in with the NRF2 and he was moving free and easy. Now 6 weeks later he is prancing and feeling fantastic. I think he is moving better than he has in years. He is on no other joint support. Now, this could be a timely situation that he was going to get better anyways but I will not be taking the chance. He will continue on this product. I made this comparison video and shared with my FB friends. The before video isn't great but it was all I had to show where he was at before NRF2. He was started on NRF2 about a week after the before video was taken. So Feb 8th ish. https://youtu.be/W7LQ4_jtz9o I do not sell this product. I do not know anyone who does sell this product other than my dealer who I found myself by doing a search. EDITED: to make link clickable

    Location: tinsel town | Wow that video is amazing! My mom has a pony that looks similar to your horse. He was also laying down more than standing. Showed very little improvement so upped the dose to 2 pills a day, still not too much improvement, but then going into the 5th month, bang he started walking and never looked back. She had tried bute, banamine, previcox, equinety and turmeric, showed no improvement except a little when he was put on the turmeric but then when down hill after about 2 years on that. |

Just to clarify, Nrf2 is NOT a multi-vitamin and should not be sold/proclaimed as such. I'm sorry that is misconception that you were led to believe. It is a great addition to a balanced feed program but doesn't replace it. I always cringe when I see or hear people say that feeding this pill has eliminated any need for supplementation - that might be true when it comes to a joint/pain supplement, anxiety supplement,etc. but not when it comes to supplying a diet that is minerally balanced and provides correct electrolyte amounts - this pill will not make up for any deficiencies or excesses the diet creates. I am a distributor...I decided to sign up to be one after taking it for 4 months and experiencing the benefits first hand. I do have a really hard time with other distributors pushing it relentlessly on social media because they are diluting its credibility. It will not cure anything and everything but it does help enable the body (both animal and human) to begin healing itself by reducing the oxidative stress burden. LifeVantage also has created numerous products in addition to Nrf2 that are also extremely effective - adding Nrf1 and Axio were game changers for me. My ADHD is controlled on a much lower dose of pharmaceutical medication, my mood is much more upbeat and my energy level has skyrocketed. Nrf2 is a wonderful product and I highly recommend giving it a try...just please go into it with realistic expectations. It is not going to undo a bad diet or unhealthy lifestyle but will provide benefit even in those bodies.

   Location: western Nebraska | I became a distributor because of what it has done for me. I enjoy riding again and my leg is working pretty well. Just not having all the pain I had is worth it. I also have my horses on it and I can’t wait to start running them this spring. Out weather has been horrible but it is going to get good one of these days |
