This "all-natural” supplement had overwhelmingly positive reviews on Facebook comments and its website. I ordered the sample size with money back guarantee. I tried some and it was not helpful. Read the label more carefully and saw that it uses sodium benzoate as a preservative while containing a significant amount of vitamin C.
I commented to their Facebook page that this could be of concern because ascorbic acid can react with benzoate salts in solution to form carcinogenic benzene - this has been shown in soft drinks tested by the FDA, which then had to be reformulated. Rather than respond to my concern online, they blocked me from the page without warning. I discovered that at least one other person had posted about a similar experience, where they had questioned some of the science being explained on the page. I also noticed there was no way for me to leave a review on their website.
I don’t know how they invite people to review, but they clearly only select for positive ratings / testimonials. Their rating on Amazon is far lower, but many consumers who click the Facebook ads will order from Levium directly and never see those comments. Finally, the money-back guarantee is misleading. They expect the remainder of the product to be returned, but they do not provide a shipping label.
The cost for a private individual to ship the items from the Post Office, along with not being refunded the original shipping cost, practically voids the notion of a true money back guarantee. This product is being falsely advertised to vulnerable individuals seeking solutions for anxiety and freedom from side effects. It quashes health concerns and negative reviews from the public.
It rips people off while hoping that their bright illusion, combined with the placebo effect and possibly some usefulness (yet to be subject to a scientific study as a product) will convince enough people to fork over their money and not try too hard to get it back.
