I am a 74 year old male. In January, 2008 I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer which had metastacized to the messentery of the colon. I was first treated with a combination of oral and intravenous chemotherapy. This treatment was discontinued when the tumour did not respond to treatment. In June, 2008 I started taking Transmax Resveratrol from Biotivia along with nutritional support. In November, 2008 I had an abdominal CT scan at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. The report was "an interval decrease in size of the pancreatic primary and also resolution of peritoneal metastases". One of the doctors stated that she was "impressed" and two local physicians have placed orders for resveratrol because of my experience. I have been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer for almost a year and I am still active. I play golf and exercise several times a week.

Happy Thanksgiving! Biotivia is the thing i'm most thankful for this year!
In April of this year I ordered my first order of "Transmax". After hearing the major news networks raving about the research on the virtues of Trans-reveratrol I did extensive surfing on the internet and found that Biotivia was the company that supplies the major universities and research faclities. I decided to try your product above the others. It was no mistake.
I told you then i would write and let you know how it affected me. This letter should have been sent months ago but I just couldn't believe the results!
The first few weeks I noticed stronger body odour and some smelly flatulence. Unusual to me because I am a throat cancer survivor. Doctors removed most of my tongue and I can't swallow any food. My diet is the same every day, Ensure is the only nutriton I put in my body so any change is very noticable. I assume the change in my body's odour was connected with the powerful antioxidents purging my body's impurities. Then it went back to normal after a week or so. Toward the end of the first month it seemed I felt a little better.
By the end of the second month I was sure it was NOT my imagination. I felt better. In the third month I was feeling much better and even members of my Lodge noticed a difference. One member's wife tried it too, she's a regular customer now! Several members have also noticed the difference and are now trying Transmax too. When others notice a difference it must be significant don't you agree?
It's been six months now and what a difference. I don't feel like a 65 yr old any more, waking up in the morning is not a dreadful experience, joints are not stiff and painful like they were, chores are easier, getting more done, feeling more vitality and vigour. I'm starting to get involved in life again and the most amazing thing is my prostate problems have improved more than when I used Flomax and even Avodart! Much more improvment in fact and Transmax does not diminish the semen like those prescription only drugs did. I'm getting back to normal again. And now I'm likely to live long enough to enjoy it.
I'm starting to feel like a human being again!
It's been a wonderful Thanksgiving because of "Transmax". The only labratory grade Reveratrol from Biotivia.
Thank you again for caring enough to provide the purest Trans-resveratrol available.

On the first two days that I took 500mg Transmax I got a low grade fever like when you get a flu shot. I think the Resveratol was reving up my immune system or it caused my white blood cells to react to something in my body and kill it I hope. After two days I was fine, after the first week of taking 500mg Transmax when I was working out on a cross trainer at the gym I was reaching a higher level of speed than I ever did before and I thought the unit was broken. No it wasn't, I was really going that fast and at my age I am over 65.
I now have more energy, my 20 minute walks in the morning are now over an hour, I sleep better than I ever did and awake earlier in the morning and my hair is getting darker in colour and I have this overwhelming feeling of wellbeing like I got my pink cloud feeling back.
This is within a few weeks of taking Transmax, so this is truly a miracle molecule. Never mind the French Paradox theory, look to early civilizations for the answers to the Resveratrol and longevity issue. In the Bible people lived to a very old age, they also mixed the fruit of the vine with water and drank this mix all the time from the very young to the very old. Do you think someone could connect the dots here?
Thank you Biotivia for Transmax I am a 65 yr old disabled war veteran and I am starting to get my mojo back.

I am a 56 year old sales rep with a very busy schedule and recently (2 weeks ago) added TransMax to my daily supplement list. I take many recommended supplements and have never really felt any difference in my daily stamina level when taking them or not taking them.
However, the next day after I started taking TransMax I immediately noticed an improvement in my vitality and stamina. This increase in stamina has helped me be more productive during the business week and make it much easier to complete my hot Saturday morning yard mowing sessions. It's a great product and I intend on continuing its use.

My initial impression after only a few days taking Transmax was that I felt like I was 20 years old again. I am now actually 42. I have had subsequent very positive experiences including improved concentration and physical and mental energy. I have given Transmax to some of my colleagues and some elite athletes, including our top olympic athlete, who has since won a European Championships gold medal. One elite swimmer who I also placed on Transmax has reported a significant improvement in his times. No other supplement or change in training schedules have had this effect in over ten years.
A patient on whom I did a bone morphogenic protein (BMP) augmentation, who I observed to be a "slow healer" previously, exhibited accelerated healing and improved overall recovery subsequent to my repairing of a large vertical defect in the patients upper jaw.

The purpose for my recent order is to provide Transmax to some family and friends and to patients for whom I consider T-resv to be an add-on option to their therapy (Metformin). Last not least, I always try supplements myself first before I advice clients or patients to use them.
My personal experience with T-Resv is strongly positive. I added it about one year ago to my supplement regimen. So far I have experienced increased concentration, higher energy levels, and a loss of body fat. The Bio Quench and Bios Span supplements do also look very interesting.

Just started to use the Transmax product. After two months, I wake up with more energy which lasts the whole day. I usually sleep well, but now I sleep better and fall asleep quicker. I also believe that my mental energy is improved, better attention and improved memory. This is a great benefit to me in my practice.

Resveratrol is a metabolic all-star. I began using the Biotivia brand of trans-resveratrol with my paients because of Biotivias' commitment to research, scientific integrity, and the safest most effective formulation of resveratrol. My patients make more positive comments on the benefits they feel from Biotivias' trans-resveratrol than any other supplement they take. The compliance is excellent. One patient began giving his 13 year old Shih Tzu the product. The results paralleled the description of the mice in the Harvard study. After 3 months of taking the resveratrol the dog's activity changed dramatically and progressively from his long-term lethargic state to playing and running with his 2 younger companions.

Transmax is a fine thing in my eyes. Although I do have a normal body mass index I use it as a fitness reinforcer (one capsule each day) It seems to be more easy to move with light legs and the efforts of my muscles have become more enjoyable. Because I use other supplements as well it is difficult to tell about other undisputable effects which the substance surely has, however the effects I mentioned began just after I started to take Bioforte in addition to the Transmax, two capsules per day.
F. Bbjornstrand, Internist, Switzerland
In my 30 years of training in gyms across he country and in my 13 years of practicing as a chiropractor, this Transmax is the most powerful supplement that I have come across.I now feel 10 years younger.

About my melasma: it is severe. It covers both cheeks and I have a moustache. I have large splotches on my cheeks which break into spots close to the hair line. By this time of the summer, it is so dark that it cannot be covered with makeup. It looks like I have dirt on my face. It bothers me, but I actually can live with it. Quite frankly, I obsess over my weight more than the melasma. But, then, that's a problem for a different forum. I have not proactively tried to treat it, due in large part to reading on this forum the endless futility of other people's attempts to treat it.
Okay. So, back in April, I became very interested in the reports of the remarkable effects of trans-resveratrol for treating just about everything. I have a PhD, I am a researcher/professor at a university. My research isn't in medicine. I am a cognitive scientist. Anyway, I spent many hours on PubMed looking up studies on resveratrol. The bottom line is I am so impressed with it, that I wanted to take it. So, I spent many hours reading about supplements. Purity is important. And the 2 brands that I have purchased and taken because of independent verification of 99% purity are Relentless Improvement (300 mg of trans resveratrol from Polygonum Cuspidatum) and Biotivia's Transmax (500 mg trans resveratrol also from Polygonum Cuspidatum). You can order these products online from the respective company's websites.
The resveratrol is in powder form and comes in capsules. And, it is NOT cheap! I am taking about 1000 mg per day. It was at this dosage that I felt positive effects: I sleep better, have more energy during the day, have lower appetite (I've lost 10 lbs in 3 weeks), and I just feel better. So, one day, I got the idea to break open a 500 mg Biotivia Transmax capsule and mix it in my small 4 oz bottle of Cetaphil's daily moisturizer, which was about 2/3 full. I put about a nickel size amount on my face in the morning and at night. After about a week of doing this, my melasma was fading. There was no peeling, nor irritation of any sort. It simply is fading. I hardly have a moustache. I am in the sun regularly (I ride horses), and I am not good about wearing sunscreen. So, usually my melasma is very pronounced at this point in the summer (I live in IN). But, it's fading. I don't know if it will completely fade. And, I don't know if it is from the cream or my taking 1000 mg of trans-resveratrol per day orally, or both. I think that it is the cream.
I don't know if this experiment of mine will yield the same beneficial effects for anyone else. It would give me enormous pleasure if it helped even just one person. And, I would be thrilled beyond belief if it helped many people. I think that everyone who posts on this forum feels this way.
I will do my best to answer people's questions about what I've been doing, as well as report on the status of my melasma.
UPDATE 3 DAYS LATER ------------
Okay, no more melasma over my upper lip (mousstache is gone). The melasma on my right cheek has faded more so than on my chin and left cheek, but everything is fading.
I should mention that I am a 43 year old caucasion female. I've never been pregnant, nor on birth control. The melasma became noticeable about 15 years ago.
Kerry Johnson, Research Professsor, BostonI wanted to get this to you ASAP. Usually it takes a few days for me to get my results from the VA but, today (on a Saturday 1 day after the test) my lead diabetes doctors called me with mixed news. My A1c rose by .01 % to 7.9% but they are still happy with that result. The great news is my LDL fell from 199.4 in June to 66. My Tri's fell from 638 to 310 and total cholesterol in June was 329 and this reading was 167. This is great news and in fact the VA contact had been talking to an expert on Resveratrol and indicated that they had used Transmax and Bioforte in their studies and told my VA contact that this and better results are expected. It impressed the VA doctor so much that he is buying some today and starting a daily dosage as well.
I have another blood testing on December 9th. I must admit that because of the wonderful results in June I kind of slacked off on my diet and I think it could be the reason for the A1c increase and I told the VA doctor the same. What is good about that is even eating some things I should not (donuts, Candy, fruit pies, etc.) the result stayed nearly the same. So, I will try very hard to eat right for the next two months and will advise you of the results. Again, THANK YOU BIOTIVIA
