 in 2015 with a core commitment to helping women feel their best and lead a more healthy and happy life. katerina is the chief executive officer of the organization.<\/p>\n<p>ritual is the manufacturer of a daily multivitamin for women. the product has been scientifically researched and delivers a blend of nutrients designed specifically for a woman in all life stages. katerina schneider launched ritual vitamins when she had her first baby and discovered that other vitamins were not filling her needs. the ritual supplement consists of the highest quality of ingredients, and it is vegan certified, non-gmo, and gluten-free.<\/p>\n<p>katerina schneider is a graduate of brown university.<\/p>\n<div class=\"text-muted text-uppercase jump-target\" style=\"margin-bottom: -30px;margin-top: 40px;font-size: 0.85em; color: #aaa\" id=\"jump-claims\">claims<\/div><h2>ritual vitamins claims<\/h2>\n<p>what is truly interesting about ritual vitamins is that they do not appear to market themselves as a better product regarding performance outcomes, but more on the basis that they are built on transparency and simplicity, as previously mentioned.<\/p>\n<p>it seems that they are hedging their bets that women consumers are more interested in having a better feel for where the ingredients come from and receive validation as to what they need, rather than obtaining some exotic health boost, etc.<\/p>\n<p>for instance, when we looked at the ritual vitamins faq page, under the question of &#8220;when will i start to feel something?&#8221; the answer is pretty simple and does not promise anything grandiose:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;the benefits you &#8216;feel&#8217;\u2014happier mood, maintained energy\u2014are just bonuses when it comes to improving foundational health. while many people feel a difference within 1-2 weeks, some don&#8217;t notice anything at all, and that&#8217;s okay.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;it&#8217;s what&#8217;s happening inside your body that counts, and the timeline for better health is pretty cool. the water-soluble nutrients (fe, mg, folate, b12, boron) start working right away to support your heart, nerves, etc.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;fat-soluble nutrients take longer\u2014except for d3. all in all, it takes 3-4 months for your whole body to reach a healthy new equilibrium.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;by the time [essential for women] efw reaches neurons\u2014the cells in your brain that signal mood\u2014it&#8217;s already helping many other cells in your body (heart, immune, bone and more!).&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>the other thing that supports any claims is the research section that they advertise on their website. this section appears to highlight articles not just about their product, but the benefits of &#8220;hydration&#8221; and possessing an attitude of &#8220;positivity.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>ritual vitamins seem to be a single stop to supply information that they believe their consumers want to know.<\/p>\n<p>on their website, they give a detailed outline of the benefits you should experience after continued use. ritual claims to &#8220;fill in the gaps&#8221; with your nutrition on month three, meaning you should have more energy, better immunity, and healthier skin. by month six, red blood cells and internal organs start to feel the benefits and may develop more support through the vitamin.<\/p>\n<p>after a year, calcium levels should start to rise and support bone health. with continued use after that, the vitamins supposedly promote healthy aging by fighting free radicals in the body, maintaining tissue strength, and promoting youth from within.<\/p>\n<div class=\"text-muted text-uppercase jump-target\" style=\"margin-bottom: -30px;margin-top: 40px;font-size: 0.85em;

little overwhelming.<\/p>\n<p>as for whether multivitamins are an answer for good health, the jury is probably still out on that decision. from what we have studied and presented here, it is easy to see that many medical experts are highly skeptical about the effectiveness of taking a multivitamin.<\/p>\n<p>what is suggested by many physicians is to eat regular foods that contain these vitamins. it can also be a tastier and more exciting alternative than taking a pill.<\/p>\n<p>time magazine printed an article in 2015, which highlighted specific foods that could provide particular nutrients. the daily mail also had an article about what real foods to take instead of taking a vitamin.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"editor-rtflink\"

labels.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>their claims of potential benefits are not overly made. it is refreshing to see this in a market saturated by many exaggerated and even false claims of almost miraculous results by taking their products.<\/p>\n<p>the other part of the ritual brand we think is good is an emphasis on verifying the source of their ingredients rather than going with the lowest cost supplier, which may or may not have the best quality standards.<\/p>\n<p>the price for ritual vitamins is not beyond what is available on the market. so if you choose to purchase and use ritual vitamins, we think that one could do far worse when it comes to shopping around for a multivitamin.<\/p>\n<p>finally, if you do take a supplement, it is essential to remember it is just that \u2013 a

 is so confident with their products; they offer a 60-day money-back guarantee. after acknowledging the promised perks, we'll take a closer look at the list of the plexus xfactor plus ingredients to determine if any of the following claims are accurate. by regularly consuming this product, plexus claims users will experience the following health improvements:\r\n\r\n<img class=\"img-responsive\" src=\"\/\/www.digitopmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/plexus-xfactor-plus-claims.jpg\" alt=\"plexus xfactor plus\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\" \/>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>better immune function<\/li>\r\n \t<li>stronger bones and muscle function<\/li>\r\n \t<li>maintenance of healthy blood pressure (if already in the normal range)<\/li>\r\n \t<li>prevention of free radical damage<\/li>\r\n \t<li>improved energy levels and metabolism function<\/li>\r\n \t<li>improved mental clarity and concentration<\/li>\r\n \t<li>noticeably better mood<\/li>\r\n \t<li>relief from common symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nwhile plexus does list the above claims on their website, the 2022足球世界杯德国队分组
 also discloses the following notice about the xfactor plus ingredients:\r\n\r\n\"the results of an in vitro human gut simulator study suggest that the polyphenol blend in xfactor plus may have several beneficial effects. further research, including research conducted in humans, is needed to confirm these preliminary findings.\"\r\n<h2>plexus x factor plus ingredients<\/h2>\r\nas you will see, plexus x factor plus ingredients are the same as its predecessor, plexus xfactor. however, the xfactor plus formula features some new additions. the highlighted elements of this new and improved multivitamin include the following:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>5-mthf \u2013 the most active bioactive form of folate<\/li>\r\n \t<li>grape seed extract- a polyphenol blend formulated to support gut health<\/li>\r\n \t<li>apple fruit extract- contains a variety of polyphenols to promote overall health<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2>plexus x factor plus label<\/h2>\r\nbesides these critical components of the polyphenol blend (400mg), other ingredients as featured on the plexus x factor plus label include:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>cranberry fruit powder<\/li>\r\n \t<li>black currant fruit extract<\/li>\r\n \t<li>aloe vera extract<\/li>\r\n \t<li>vitamins a, b, d, and k<\/li>\r\n \t<li>vitamin b-12 (420mcg)<\/li>\r\n \t<li>niacin (20mg)<\/li>\r\n \t<li>calcium (25 mg)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2>plexus x factor plus with aloe<\/h2>\r\nthe plexus x factor plus with aloe extract does not appear to be the same aloe blend found in the original plexus xfactor formula.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"img-responsive\" src=\"\/\/www.digitopmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/plexus-xfactor-plus-aloe.jpg\" alt=\"plexus xfactor plus\" width=\"1000\" height=\"446\" \/>\r\n\r\nthe benefits of aloe within the original plexus xfactor promise to deliver improved cellular metabolism, immune health support, digestive health, and prevention from free-radical damage. it also says this blend provides dietary help from 10 different vital nutrients. despite the formulations being slightly altered, this doesn't sound drastically different from the plexus x factor plus.\r\n<h2>does plexus x factor plus work?<\/h2>\r\nnext, we'll further examine the research behind the ingredients listed on the plexus website. let's dig in to test the xfactor plus' credibility and product claims.\r\n\r\nthat being said, it would seem likely that the added folic acid from the 5-mthf would be beneficial in improving both mental clarity and overall mood, as stated in the claims by plexus xfactor plus.\r\n<h3>grape seed extract<\/h3>\r\ngrape seed extract contains high levels of antioxidants and has also been linked to some therapeutic benefits, making it highly reputable in the medical world. according to <a href=\"https:\/\/nccih.nih.gov\/health\/grapeseed\/ataglance.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the national center for complementary and integrative medicine<\/a>, grape seed extract may help treat some cardiovascular conditions and nerve damage and high cholesterol. besides improving circulation in those with chronic venous insufficiency, grape seed extract helps treat certain conditions.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"img-responsive\" src=\"\/\/www.digitopmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/plexus-xfactor-plus-grape-seed-extract.png\" alt=\"plexus xfactor plus\" width=\"1000\" height=\"567\" \/>\r\n\r\nnot enough extensive research has been conducted to make any concrete affirmations. grape seed extract has also been reportedly used in the treatment of:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>candida<\/li>\r\n \t<li>healing wounds<\/li>\r\n \t<li>improving bone strength<\/li>\r\n \t<li>preventing the growth of candida<\/li>\r\n \t<li>preventing cognitive deterioration<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nthis impressive list of health benefits seems to hold up well with the plexus xfactor plus claims to improve mental clarity, gut health, and support healthy bones and healthy blood pressure.\r\n<h3>apple fruit extract<\/h3>\r\neveryone knows apples are considered a \"miracle food.\" containing high levels of the brain sharpening antioxidant known as quercetin, apple fruit extract has been known for:\r\n\r\n<img class=\"img-responsive\" src=\"\/\/www.digitopmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/pleus-xfactor-plus-apple-fruit-extract.jpg\" alt=\"plexus xfactor

extract is also beneficial for the skin, as it is commonly used in many cosmetic and skincare lines to promote collagen production for youthful, glowing skin.\r\n\r\nwhile the plexus website doesn't say what benefits apple fruit extract is intended to bring to the plexus xfactor plus formula, the evidence behind this miracle fruit seems to suggest it would align well with the product's overall claims for \"optimal health benefits.\"\r\n<h2>plexus x factor plus benefits and results<\/h2>\r\nso, does plexus x factor plus work, and what are the benefits? we've answered this question the best we could by uncovering research provided by credible sources such as medical news today, pub med, and science direct. such research behind the listed proprietary blend suggests that with continued use, consumers should experience some degree of the following plexus x factor plus benefits:\r\n\r\n<img class=\"img-responsive\" src=\"\/\/www.digitopmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/plexus-xfactor-plus-benefits.jpg\" alt=\"plexus xfactor plus\" width=\"700\" height=\"400\" \/>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>improved energy<\/li>\r\n \t<li>improved gut health<\/li>\r\n \t<li>mental clarity and improved memory retention<\/li>\r\n \t<li>improved mood and overall happiness<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nhowever, it should be pointed out that these health improvements will most likely only be observed in consumers who are deficient in one or more of these previously listed vitamins or minerals.\r\n\r\nas a few examples, vitamin a-deficient individuals may notice a slight improvement of their eyesight, skin clarity, or immune health, where those deficient in vitamin d may notice an improvement in their calcium levels and overall bone health upon regular supplement consumption.\r\n<h2>plexus x factor plus reviews<\/h2>\r\non the plexus worldwide website, the plexus x factor plus reviews currently boast a five-star rating. however, this isn't saying much, considering there is only one available review.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"img-responsive alignnone\" src=\"\/\/www.digitopmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/plexus-xfactor-plus-reviews.jpg\" alt=\"green button showing thumbs up, orange button showing neutral thumbs, red button showing thumbs down\"

 is accredited by the bbb and holds an a+ rating. there is also a warning alert from 2014 posted by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fda<\/a> that reads as followed:\r\n\r\n\"on july 30, 2014, the u.s. food and drug administration (fda) filed a warning letter against the business. the warning letter alleges the business violates fda regulations, prohibiting the business from misbranding and incorrect marketing language without approval.\"\r\n<h2>plexus xfactor plus consumer complaints<\/h2>\r\n<img class=\"img-responsive\" src=\"\/\/www.digitopmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/plesus-xfactor-plus-complaints.jpg\" alt=\"plexus xfactor plus\" width=\"737\" height=\"368\" \/>\r\n\r\nbrowsing the first page of complaints, each consumer addresses concerns of the 2022足球世界杯德国队分组
 taking their credit card information and charging their account without approval. most complaints also suggest the 2022足球世界杯德国队分组
 does not uphold the 60-day money-back guarantee posted proudly on their website. customers say it is impossible to get through to customer service via phone or receive a reply through email. furthermore, many customers complain of experiencing severe stomach pain and digestive issues after taking the plexus products.\r\n<h2>details on plexus xfactor plus and weight loss<\/h2>\r\nwhile plexus xfactor plus does promise a long list of health benefits, weight loss is not one of them. the plexus 2022足球世界杯德国队分组
 does offer several products listed under the category of weight management, including plexus slim, plexus accelerator, and plexus block.\r\n<h2>how to use plexus xfactor plus<\/h2>\r\nto reap the full benefits of this product and help fight dietary deficiencies, the plexus 2022足球世界杯德国队分组
 instructs users to take two capsules of plexus xfactor plus daily, with a meal. taking the product incorrectly or without a meal may result in stomach upset.\r\n<h2>potential plexus x factor plus side effects<\/h2>\r\nwhile the website does not offer any information or warning about possible plexus x factor plus side effects, as addressed earlier, it appears that a common complaint against the product is stomach upset and digestive pain. by taking a closer look at what ingredients could trigger this response in users, it seems likely that black currant could be a possible culprit.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"img-responsive\" src=\"\/\/www.digitopmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/plexus-slim-side-effects.jpg\" alt=\"plexus slim side effects\" width=\"425\" height=\"282\" \/>\r\n\r\nniacin is also known to trigger several complications in high doses. according to the university of maryland medical center, several adverse reactions to niacin include nausea and vomiting, blurred vision, and, most commonly, flushing combined with dizziness.\r\n<h3>the possible dangers of polyphenol blends<\/h3>\r\nwhile plexus promotes polyphenol blends as a wholesome miracle supplement, pub med has released information warning consumers of the dangerous health risks associated with the consumption of polyphenol blends.\r\n\r\naccording to research published in the <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/15640498\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">american journal of clinical nutrition<\/a><\/em>, there are known carcinogenic and genotoxic effects related to specific polyphenols. research also shows a risk of iron depletion, as consumption of polyphenols will inhibit non-heme iron absorption. this is another reason why it's important to consult with a doctor before purchasing and consuming this product and to take only the recommended daily dosage.\r\n<h2>plexus xfactor plus product warnings<\/h2>\r\nas mentioned in the previous section, the plexus 2022足球世界杯德国队分组
 does not share any plexus xfactor plus product warnings on their website. on the product's label, it does state the following signs:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>xfactor plus is not recommended for children under 18<\/li>\r\n \t<li>keep out of reach of children<\/li>\r\n \t<li>if pregnant or nursing, consult with a doctor before use<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2>plexus xfactor plus lawsuits?<\/h2>\r\noften referred to as \"the pink drink scam,\" plexus worldwide has been linked to several lawsuits over its 10-year course of business. there has also been controversy around acknowledging that the plexus 2022足球世界杯德国队分组
