Update 12/6/22. At one time, Anatabloc was a SUPER popular anti-inflammation supplement. It was sold online and at GNC and elsewhere. It was touted to help reduce pain, help joints and arthritis pain, and reduce chronic inflammation. Anatabloc was unique. It contained an ingredient not found in any other supplement I've EVER seen in over 20 years of investigation. This unique ingredient also contributed to its own downfall. In this unbiased, updated review, I reveal everything you need to know about Anatabloc, from its rise – and fall – to the research and proof and the company which made it. I'll also shed light on other anatabloc supplements too.
What Is Anatabloc
Before we talk about Anatabloc (sometimes misspelled Anatablock), I need to tell you about Anatabine (also called anatabine citrate). Anatabine is the active ingredient in Anatabloc. Anatabine is a chemical found in
- eggplants
- potatoes
- green tomatoes
as well as tobacco and tobacco smoke (remember this).
Chemically, anatabine “looks” like nicotine. Because of this, it was also used some anti-smoking supplements. Anatabine has a longer half life than nicotine, so it stays in the body longer. That's why it was thought it might help people quit smoking.
How Does Anatabloc Work?
Here is the way Anatabloc was supposed to reduce chronic inflammation:
1. Anatabine enters the cells of the body where it…
2. Deactivates a protein called NFkB.
3. When NFkB is deactivated, it can't enter the nucleus of the cell (the brain center of the cell) to cause excessive cellular inflammation.
Inflammation is thought to play a role in MANY diseases, such as:
and many others.
So, if Anabloc worked, it might have disease-modifying benefits. If you read the comments below, you will see some people have said some pretty amazing things too.
Anatabloc Ingredients
Anatabloc contains these ingredients
| Anatabine | 1 mg |
| Vitamin A | 500 IU |
| Vitamin D3 | 40 IU |
This review will focus only on Anatabine because this is “secret sauce” in Anatabloc.
Other Ingredients
These other ingredients are also found in this supplement: Mannitol, natural and artificial mint flavors, sucralose, silicon dioxide, stearic acid, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, magnesium stearate, titanium dioxide (color), natural glaze, methylparaben, propylparaben, triethyl citrate, citric acid, BHT, mono and diglycerides, and polysorbate 80
These ingredients played no role in the results or benefits of Anatabloc.
Anatabloc Research
When this review was originally created, the proof for Anatabloc was mostly on lab animals. There is now human proof. This review will focus only on human research. Much of the research is on Anatabine, which is an active ingredient in Anatabloc. Still, proof for anatabine is proof for Antabloc.
Rock Creek Pharmaceuticals (more on them below) supports and plays a role in much of the research.
Studies On Anatabloc
In one report, researchers in the US gave Anatabloc or a placebo to 146 people with Hashimoto's disease – the most common form of hypothyroidism. People were given 9-24 mg of anatabine in the form of lozenges. Those taking Anatabloc saw a significant reduction in thyroid autoantibodies.
Some people saw over a 20% decrease in thyroid autoantibodies. This means better working thyroid glands.
One small study (10 people) noted a face cream containing anatabine improved skin appearance, reducing redness and blotchy skin appearance. This does make some sense. Niacin, which looks a little bit like anatabine has been used in skin creams for years.
Niacin is also VERY popular in the anti-aging world. See the Niagen review for more on this.
Anatabine cigarettes have been shown to reduce nicotine levels in smokers significantly. This study reflects the interest in using anatabine to help people quit smoking.
Because inflammation follows exercise, researchers were interested in seeing if anatabine would reduce inflammation after people worked out. In this study, 18 men were given either a placebo or 6-12 mg of anatabine per day for 10 days. They also performed an intense exercise program.
Unfortunately, this noted anatabine did not reduce pain, or swelling or help muscle strength. This is noteworthy, given TV commercials featuring pro golfers John Isner and Fred Couples.
In another exercise study, researchers gave Anatabloc or a placebo to 17 men. The dosage of Anatabloc used was 6-12 mg. While these researchers saw that Anatabloc did not reduce exercise-induced muscle damage, it did appear to reduce markers of inflammation such as C reactive protein (CRP). That is interesting.
Preliminary research suggests anatabine activates NFR2, a substance that raises naturally produced antioxidant defenses such as superoxide dismutase (SOD). This is at the heart of some proposed anti-aging supplements, such as Protandim and PB125.
There are also several lab animals and test-tube studies involving Anatabloc/anatabine. I won't cover them here because we are people and not mice, rats or test tubes.
Summary Of Anatabloc Research
Here is a summary of the Anatabloc human research:
- Anatabine reduced thyroid antibodies in people with hypothyroidism
- Anatabine lowers nicotine levels in smokers
- Anatibine did not reduce muscle damage, pain, or swelling but may lower CPR levels
Anatabloc Questions
Let's now answer some common questions people have asked me about this supplement.
Can Anatabloc help muscle soreness?
Muscle soreness after exercise (DOMS) is very common. Currently, the proof seems to show Anatabloc doesn't reduce muscle soreness, swelling or muscle damage. It may reduce a blood test marker of inflammation called CRP. I think we need more exercise research.
Can Anatabloc Help Concussions?
There is brain inflammation when someone gets a concussion. But there is no proof that taking Anatabloc:
- reduces the risk of getting a concussion
- improves recovery time after getting a concussion
- reduces brain damage from concussions
I cannot find any research involving anatabine and concussions.
In December 2013, the FDA sent a warning letter to Star Scientific – makers of Anatabloc – telling them to remove references on their websites which gave people the impression the supplement might help concussions and other forms of traumatic brain injuries (TBI).
For more on concussions and TBI see these reviews:
Can Anatabloc Help Multiple Sclerosis?
The proof that Anatabloc can help MS is in its infancy. There is some mouse evidence it may help, but no human studies have been conducted yet.
What About Anataboc and Weight Loss?
Websites might discuss how anatabine/Anatabloc can help people lose weight or reduce weight gain, which sometimes happens when people quit smoking. But there is no good proof for this. No study has looked at reducing gaining weight after quitting smoking.
What is CigRx?
This is the anti-smoking product Star Scientific was developing before it began researching anatabine for arthritis pain and other health problems. CigRx contains anatabine too.
Anatabloc Dosage
The general recommendation is to take 2 lozenges per day. Do not use more than 6 lozenges per day. Another dosage recommendations= take your body weight into consideration. Here the Anatabloc dosages would be:
- 100-120 lbs: 2 lozenges 3x per day
- 121-170lbs: 2 lozenges 4x per day
- 171-220lbs: 2 lozenges 5x per day
- over 220lbs: 2 lozenges 6x per day
I've never seen this dosage regimen used in human studies. So, I'm not sure how accurate this is.
Who Makes Anatabloc?
Anatabloc is a product of a company called Rock Creek Pharmaceuticals. Another name for this company is Star Scientific. Star Scientific was the original name of the company. When the research changed directions from looking at Anatabine as a cure for smoking to helping arthritis pain, the company changed its name to Rock Creek Pharmaceuticals.
The phone number for the company was 800-778-2031. The company website was Anatabloc.com (the website no longer works). When this review was originally created, the Better Business Bureau listed the company address as 4470 Cox Rd Ste 110, Glen Allen, VA 23060.
There is also a connection to another company called the RosKamp Institute, located in Florida. Some of the research on Anatabloc has been conducted by this company too.
The company has since filed for bankruptcy and is no longer making Anatabloc supplements.
Should I Invest In Rock Creek Pharmaceuticals?
Star Scientific formally changed its name to Rock Creek Pharmaceuticals in 2014. Its stock symbol is RCPI. It's a publicly traded company. Regardless of what you invest in, do your homework.
Be careful with “gurus” who talk stocks up on websites, as you don't always know who you are dealing with. Sometimes unscrupulous people say things about a company to create interest so they can pump the stock price up so they can dump it for a profit. This trick is sometimes called “pump and dump.” Unless you’re an investing pro (think Warren Buffett), I recommend you talk to a financial advisor before risking any money.
Anatabloc And The FDA
Many people think the FDA does not regulate supplements. Anatabloc is proof it does. Almost from the start, the FDA claimed anatabine contained a new dietary ingredient (NDI). A new dietary ingredient is any substance that was not sold as a supplement before 1994.
Products containing new dietary ingredients need to prove to the FDA they are safe. There is also the issue that anatabine is found in tobacco. Tobacco cannot be called a dietary supplement. I think this may also have played a role in the demise of Anatabloc.
Rock Creek pharmaceuticals state that because anatabine is found in things like peppers and eggplants, it is not new and can be sold as a supplement. In the end, the FDA won, and Rock Creek stopped making Anatabloc.
Calls To Bring Back The Sale Of Anatabloc
Problems with the FDA have not stopped people from hoping for the return of Anatabloc.
This has not stopped people who loved Anatabloc from continuing to hold out hope. Former customers have launched a petition at Change.org to petition the FDA to reverse their decision and let Anatabloc be sold again.
They created the website BringBackAnatabloc.org where you can share your testimony of how the supplement helped you, sign an FDA petition to bring Anatabloc back, and read news about the supplement.
How To Buy Anatabloc: Can You Still Purchase It?
While this supplement was once VERY popular and sold at GNC and other stores, it is no longer permitted to be sold in the US. The FDA forced Rock Creek Pharmaceuticals to stop the production of Anatabloc.
Anatabloc Supplements
While Anatabloc is no longer able to be purchased in the US, I did notice other companies selling supplements said to contain anatabine.
One such company is HydraPharm (PredatorNutrition.com). They sell a supplement literally called “Anatablok” which they say contains “pure anatabine.” Predator Nutrition is not based in the US. I am not sure if they are allowed to ship their Anatablok supplement to the US.
The supplement is marked as an anti-inflammatory nootropic (brain enhancer) used to support memory and attention.
The Va Governor Controversy
As if things could not get worse, Rock Creek Pharm found itself at the center of a very public controversy involving the former Virginia governor, Robert McDonnell, and his wife. It's alleged Rock Creek gave $165,000 in gifts to the former Va governor and his wife in exchange for helping Rock Creek's development of Anatabloc.
Anatabloc Side Effects
Anatabloc is probably safe for healthy people, at least for short-term use. Human research shows no significant negative side effects. Mild to moderate side effects reported have included:
- Dizziness
- Nausea
- Headache
- Tingling feelings
- Insomnia
In the comments section below, one person reported feelings of depression. This has not been observed in clinical studies.
Does Anatabloc Work?
Despite the problems with the FDA, several people swore Anatabloc worked. I never experimented with it when it was being sold and the only person I knew who did try it told me it did not reduce his pain. Pain is complicated and its possible others may have had better results.
Unfortunately, Anatabolc supplements are no longer available in the US. While, in the past, I have been rather hard on this supplement and Rock Creek Pharmaceuticals, I was sad it was taken off the market. I am happy to see some human research on anatabine, look forward to more and hope one day to see it sold once again.
Joe: Thank you for your research. A physical therapist gave me a sample pack of 20 tablets of Anatabloc — I began taking them and thought I felt an improvement. However your research — and a more careful reading of the ingredients, which list sugar AND artificial sweeteners — make me wonder whether i want to continue taking the product.
i have some on order, but may try to return it.
I work hard to limit sugar intake because I feel it’s connected to my inflammation — eating expensive sugar tablets doesn’t seem like the right thing to be doing.
The good anecdotal reports on anatabine are intriguing — but the idea of a tobbacco derivative makes me a little sick to my stomach.
Very eager to hear of your future thoughts.
Bill, thanks for writing. Did the PT say where he/she got the sample from? Since I’m guessing the physical therapist is not a doctor (MD) I’m wondering what the liabilities are of a PT giving out supplements? I also wondered if Star Scientific is giving free samples to PTs in the hopes of drumming up business?
Such tripe!
Regular Anatabloc contains mint flavoring and zero calorie sucralose. Sugar derived perhaps but nearly the same as your post implies. Unflavored Anatabloc has neither if it’s a concern. I use both flavored and unflavored depending on my mood. Mint is a nice touch a times. The active ingredient is a synthesized version of anatabine found in many common foods that have been ingested for thousands of years. SAFE.
View a CBS news affiliate WNEM-TV video about Anatabloc™ and inflammation as shown in the Flint/Tri-Cities market in Michigan that features Dale Wilson MD, one of the principal investigators in the clinical trial being conducted in the Flint area. In the video Dr. Wilson states that, “Anatabloc™ turns chronic low grade inflammation off.”
The very idea that you would attempt to mislead people about a scientifically proven effective nutraceutical that is actually helping thousands with auto-immune inflammatory illnesses makes me sick to my stomach.
GaryC, I hope you are not talking about me misleading people. I just stated the scientific facts/studies. Doctors who make claims on TV news shows are NOT the same thing as scientific studies and as such mean nothing to me. Show me the studies (not press releases) because that tells the real story.
Just went to the ‘trial’ offer web site listed above and found the terms and conditions of the offer. You have to call the (800)-586-0785 number before day 7 in order to stop an automatic billing to your credit card. This information is displayed on the page that asks for you to enter your credit card number. I called the number and was on hold for about 8 minutes and 14 seconds. A fellow verified for me that a trial order could be canceled or changed at this number. FWIW
———–
Terms and Conditions During the seven day trial period, starting the day you receive your shipment, we want you to use Anatabloc as needed. If, for any reason, you would like to discontinue using Anatabloc, simply inform us before day seven of your trial period and you will not be shipped or charged anything further. For your convenience, if we have not heard back from you during the trial period, your card will be charged $79.99 – a discount of $20 off the regular price—and you will be shipped your first month’s supply so you can continue using Anatabloc without interruption. As long as you remain a member, you will continue to receive a new supply every thirty days and the account you used today will continue to be charged that $79.99. You can call our customer service department between 10am-8pm EST Monday-Friday to customize or cancel your shipments at any time. The number is (800)-586-0785
Thanks for sharing your time and findings with us. I’ll continue to watch for your updates. In the meantime, the price is too high for me even if it works.
My local GNC didn’t have the 300 ct, but the online GNC does.
I was referred to Anatabloc by a friend, she has been taking it for the past month. She said she could not close her hand and after taking the product for two weeks is able to, she said to take/4 tablets a day. I bought my anatabloc yesterday at GNC. they did not have the 300 count. I will let you know the results. I enjoyed reading all the comments on your site.
Yes be careful about the free trial and auto-ship!
I discovered this morning that I am being shipped from Anatabloc a bottle of the 200 ct Anatabloc that I didn’t order! I did participate in the free sample but I didn’t see anything about auto ship during the sign-up. I am always very thorough about this kind of thing.
Also, I don’t see a way to cancel on the web site so I’ll call Monday morning.
Ironically, I have 3 bottles of the 300 ct Anatabloc from GNC (for me and 2 friends) on the way. Hopefully Anatabloc will at least give me the 300 ct bottle instead of the 200 ct that say they are shipping.
Call 1 800 586 0785 to cancel.if No refund, dispute the charge and have the cc company work on it. Rock Creek was very cordial to me when I canceled during the trial period.
I had been taking medication for arthritis pain but found it did nothing. An employee at GNC recommended Anatabloc and I said “no thanks” when he told me $99.99. Another friend (a golfer) recommended it to me and now I was considering it. I read reviews and became even more interested. I ordered it using a promo code (and saved 20% + additional rebate + free shipping). I figured it would take a couple weeks before I would notice a change. I noticed a change the next day. Reduced pain in my feet upon waking and even improvement in the pain in my shoulder (from a break several months ago). I thought this must be all in my head. It’s not. I have been taking Anatabloc for over month and am still pleased. Not totally pain-free but a great improvement. I stopped taking it for a day or two, and the pain returned so I started taking it again. I have had no side effects so far.
I have to admit I did not check with my rheumotologist prior to taking these. I will speak to my doctor this week. I do know my gastroenterologist said to discontinue use 5 days prior to a colonoscopy. TMI? Just trying to share what information I can on this product.
When Gold Week came around, I ordered more. They make these in a lozenge form (mint-flavored) and also a non-flavored tablet. Since the lozenge has sucrose, I thought the non-flavored tablet might be a better alternative but have not opened that bottle yet. The bottle is too bulky to carry in my purse so I put them in a Tic-Tac container and the label peeled right off the bottle so I could transfer it to the Tic-Tac container so the package is clearly marked as to the contents. The size of the lozenge is about the size of an aspirin.
As far as an address, the address on the package is: Rock Creek Pharmaceuticals, 55 Blackburn Center, Gloucester, MA 01930.
Hope you find this helpful.
Marjorie, it is helpful thanks. How did you discover the address of rock creek pharm? I googled the address you gave and there is no “street view” available.
Joe you may be picking up the address of the listing agent for the corporations I live in Richmond and the Glen Allen address is a law firms building dealing in business law.
Tim, I was only using the addresses they were providing.
My rheumy knows I’m trying this…she has 2 other patients who are trying it too. The one patient is a man and over 200 lbs and told her he’s not getting any benefits after a month I think, but I have a feeling he’s not taking ENOUGH for his bodyweight…
This rheumy is into alternative treats like Prolotherapy, Mesotheraphy and Acupuncture…not a big DRUG pusher…
http://clinicaltrials.gov/show/NCT01607619
Ok…I found this study that appears to be ending 2/2013 and last updated 1/2013. Do you have anything on this one?
Lin C, yes I’m aware of it. I keep a close eye on Anatabloc research. When new studies are published Ill add them to my review.
Would love to know if this really works. I have PMR and the pain is overwhelming.
Fran, I’m trying to keep an open mind in spite of things but I’m still skeptical about Anatabloc because of what I pointed out in my review and the company seems to put out more press releases than science.
That said, all I can say is call them and try to get a free sample (it’s expensive so I say try to get a free sample first). try it for a month. I think if its going to work you will know in a month.
thank you all for your comments, it is great all of the research you have done. has any one with migraines ever taken this .. husband has had constant migraines for 30 years.. nothing works but opiates. still looking for answers.
thanks to the community for their input
Em, glad to help and happy you found me. Ive never seen any research on Anatabloc and migraines so I can’t tell for sure. Because Anatabloc is expensive I’d suggest calling the company and asking for a free trial (make sure that free trial IS NOT tied to an auto ship program and if it is, cancel it before they send you more – and charge your credit card full price).
I’d think your husband would know pretty fast if Anatabloc is helping or not.
My teen daughter suffers from intense migraines, missing much school. She also tested HLA-b27 positive, but does not have RA (yet?) I actually think her suffering is autoimmune-connected since HLA-b27 and fibromyalgia runs on her paternal side. The neurologist says to take aleve or Advil, but they do nothing to help. He wanted to try an epileptic med, but I was afraid of the black-box labeling for it.
Please tell me if your husband finds this supplement helps his migraines at all. I went to GNC today, but was shocked at the price, so I wanted to look for online opinions first, in case it was a waste of money. Thanks for your insight.
Joe,
Sorry.. did not mean any specific published studies. My bad. Nothing is published yet but people close to the situation are suggesting that heavier people need more and it’s more effective when taken three times a day, particularly before sleep. From your posts, I know you need data and both of us look forward to that! Again, apologies for the careless phrasing.
Lochlan
Lochlan, no worries. I’m keeping an eye out for Anatabloc research 🙂
GNC and Anatabloc have changed their label. Before the new value pricing, it was suggested to take 2 lozenges 3 times a day. Consult your Physician to increase the dose.
On the new label of the 300 ct bottle I ordered, they have a weight chart that says you should take up to 2 lozenges SIX times a day if you weigh over 220 lbs.
So they give us a price break but tell us to take more? I wonder if this new dosage is based on new info they have or is it a marketing ploy?
Michael T, my gut instinct is marketing I’m willing to wait and see if I’m wrong.
Joe cannot get your suspicion here if it is a marketing ploy why would they give you more product for the same cost. If they had of went the other way I could see your point.
Tim, My thinking was that maybe people did not perceive the current number as a “bargain.” So by tossing in a few extra, I wondered if they were trying to sweeten the deal so to speak. I may just be a bit paranoid on this Tim. Time will tell.
The studies have shown that people have to take more than previously thought, hence the increase number of pills at a better price. A 200 pound man should be taking 8-12 a day.
Lochlan, what studies? I covered all the published studies and don’t remember seeing that recommended dosage. Can you point me to which study said this? I’d appreciate it.
i am halfway thru my one months supply of anatabloc not sure yet maybe joints loosening up a bit about to order two months worth to see if any real benefit . you think its expensive there extra 30 bucks to Australia
The “free” trial of Anatabloc I participated in leads me to think that this stuff works but I also was concerned about the high cost of Anatabloc.
For interested parties worried about the cost of Anatabloc, GNC now has increased the quantity of Anatabloc by 50%(300 lozenges) for the same amount they sold the 200 lozenges. At this price, I’m in for at least one bottle.
If I become thoroughly convinced of it effectiveness, I’ll report back after 1 bottles worth.
Michael T, thanks for that. It’s interesting that GNC is tweaking the amount of anatabloc per box. I hope it works for you but the idea that they are increasing the amount while keeping the price the same makes me a bit suspicious. If it rally works that well, they could easily keep the price and # of lozenges per container the same. Makes me wonder if sales are down and they are trying to entice people? Time will tell.
Im glad I read your postings, I suffer form severe spinal stenosis and massive degenerative disc disease in both my back and neck and am not a candidate for surgery even if I was brave enough to try 4 hours under the knife,I’m on Fentanyl patch,soma, Xanax,Percocet and TPI injections and more,
I went to the free trial site ,where u do pay 4.95 and hey ship it to your for a seven day supply then after that ist 79 bucks and some change per month ,which is not something I will or because they have freedom to bilk me non stop if it doesn’t help me,so Im going to attempt to try the product,soon,
I also suffer from severe psoriasis brought in by osteoarthritis of the hip and spine,which I’m hoping for two things reduced swelling Of the spinal cord ,more or less and possibly helping in reducing the inflammation in general which is what The big P is a inflammation of over active immune system,
For a safe way to control just that alone I would spend the money in a flash, I am a skeptic to the nine so before I do spend money or take risk, I have A daughter who works for a large pharmaceutical company as a research developer etc, she is a PHD of biological ,chemistry expertise and as her husband is the same ,one of them teaches at North Western in Chicago, so I’m going to ask them to give me there two cents on the Antablock and tell me if it has any medical value and see what they can see in the blocked page you mentioned and ,
then when they finally get back to answering old dad,then I will post their Thoughts because they caution us all the time about meds the doctor suggest and they tell us the skinny on what you can get that you don’t want,
so in summation Ill get back to this post and maybe I can help us fence riders to try it out as inflammation is so much a factor in many many health issues ,and I was once on vioxx ,before the kids were educated and guess what I had a stoke,so now I’m terrified of all drugs,people getting money from lawsuits from me dying don’t do anything for me. Agian thanks for your in depth review I found it to be very helpful.
Jim, thanks and Ill look forward to hearing from you again when your kids learn more.
Hi to all of us who are hopeful this would end. my misery along with yours ,it’s up to each of us to decide our own mind ,however as I promised,my daughter ,Whom has her Education in bio-chemistry from a well know medical school in Durham NC and her husband has the same PhD ,only more extensive and is currently a professor at a Well known college ,in Chi Town,and the Daughter is a research director for a pharmaceutical company that I won’t mention,
but I wrote to her about the product, primarily concerned with the active ingredient, she took some time to answer and she then called yesterday and informed her mother that the main ingredient in this supplement has only been proven to be effective In the the area of helping folks quit smoking and that’s a great thing,but she says aside from that there is no medical,value for me, or anyone else ,
In respects for my intended use for the product,its a shame I would of been thrilled to give up the money. She said she is not able to deny or confirm the blind study that I mentioned ,but she did say that as of this date she states there has not been any proven or released information to prove, help other than the fact that it has been proven to help with folks to quit smoking, not that ,that alone is less than amazing ,
I wish it had been around when I was smoking and saved me the misery of the old cold turkey,in closing my opinions are not implied as anything other than just that, I received my information from two separate people who had nothing to gain gain or loose by giving me the advice and the report of the main ingredient,in short they said Dad save your Money.
well it’s still your choice ,I always make up my own mind but not without some proven background ,or justification ,so without bragging , the kids are well documented professionals in many parts of the country and not anyone who just guesses.
Wish I could have said otherwise ,I was hopeful.
Jim, appreciate you asking your kids. I was not aware of the anti smoking effect.
I have chronic back pain as I have degenerative disc disease. I have already had 3 discs removed (C4-C6) with C7 now failing. I have been taking norco several times a day (as prescribed) for pain. I have been taking Anatabloc for less than a week, however, on day two I was able to cut my intake of norco in half as the acute pain I have been feeling in the past was no longer there.
I have sustained that lower dose of norco for the past three days. I am typically am very pessimistic of any wonder drug or medication but with Anatabloc so far so good.
Randy, thanks for writing. I hope you continue to improve!
I have tried following the recommended dosage or two days and have felt a very slight reduction in pain. Am now using one pill, sub lingualy five times daily the price is absurdly high . i prefer extract of tumeric and other anti-inflam herbs.i also have great success with proteletic enzymes . thank you for your report. i agree with you mike de leo
Well, I bit the bullet, so to speak, and purchased a bottle at my local GNC for $99. Signed up for their Gold Card and received 20% off.
I did e-mail Anatabloc’s customer service about a trial – they gave me a telephone number to call and the entire thing seemed like it would be a big runaround. Coincidentally after I purchased my bottle I did a quick Google and found they have their own website set up for a “free” trial. They’ll send you 60 lozenges for $4.95 (you pay the shipping and handling)
That address is: anatabloctrial.com
I wanted to be able to take the “full” 6 lozenges per day, so I’m waiting until I wake up in the morning tomorrow to start.
If I notice any improvements (or negative side effects) I’ll come back and leave another review.
Either way, thanks for all of the work you’ve done researching this Joe, and for being a priority Google result for all of those who are curious about the product. 🙂
Matthew, thanks I do hope it helps you. I’m glad Google ranked me so high in their search results also!
Joe, I could care less about the stock. Anatabloc is the best anti-inflammatory auto-immune support solution available today. According to all in vitro, in vivo, animal studies, recently completed human studies, and me. I came to your site as I have hundreds of others while continuing my own research on inflammation and its effect in our body.
I have been doing so ever since hearing about Anatabloc and the anatabine citrate ingredient. The description I heard about it and what it could do for systemic inflammation and why it is so important was so compelling that I started taking it as soon as it became available. But I never stopped trying to learn more about its mechanism of action and its safety. After 16 months on it I am convinced more than ever that it is the one of the greatest discoveries of our lifetime. The stock means nothing.
The only thing I worry about is not being able to afford Anatabloc. I hope the price comes down soon and wish more people would buy it for that reason. Plus I really believe millions could benefit once word spreads.
Garry, truth told I don’t care about the stock either and I weed out as many as I can who I think are just trying to pump up the hype about the stock. Im only interested in the research on supplements.
As far as I know there is no “recently completed human studies.” If you are aware of any, please share the citation and I will add it to my review.
I do think the price of Anatabloc will come down in time. My thought is maybe in a year the price will be less.
That guy sounds an awful lot like a shill to me. First to comment, and then on a thread of interested, collegial dialogue, he later leaves a scathing diatribe filled with hyperbole and speculation. As a student of medicine, a law school grad, and one who spent years in financial markets (and who saw MANY pump and dump scams), I found your research to be thorough, objective, and fair. I am fascinated by the science in this product and might try it after further research is complete, and it will be because people like you review and not because of carnival barkers like Gary.
Scott thanks I appreciate that and your unique background too!
