Asian Athlete women at 53 yr old.

I am now 53yr old Asian female. I Have been active and is a gym rat. My workout is intense and my recovery has always been good. Except one day I hit menopause at the age of 50 yr old woke up one day hurting, aching, soar, and was not able to recover from workout. It appears the more I workout the worst I got because I could not recover. Until I saw your video of how our body changes when we reach 50 yr and our muscles go through atrophy. The video was describing exactly was happening to me. So, I ordered muscle defense. Wow! It was incredible immediately I saw an increase in energy to my workout and the recovery was amazing! It was like having superpowers. Since then I been taking muscle defense everyday before workout and sometimes after workout as needed. Muscle defense is part of my healthy living lifestyle. I am still a gym rat! I am strong. My in body scan results are amazing. According to the numbers I have a body of an athlete. For the first time in my life I participated in the world fitness race Hyrox the pro women double category. I finished rank 12 out of 185. What an amazing accomplishment. Thank you so much for muscle defense and your product. It is part of my life.

The ingredient Sucralose is not a healthy ingredient! A Duke University study showed that a single packet of Splenda (sucralose) kills 50% of normal intestinal flora.
Furthermore I am allergic to sucralose and unable to use the product. I purchased 7 bags of Muscle Defense and now unable to use the product. That's a lot of money wasted. Bummer!!

Muscle Defense

I stop taking MD in July 25 as I had cancer surgery on my left arm. I was put on a healing powder called Juven.
I am not taking it at this time and have started taking the muscle defense again.
I like the MD and it seems to provide me with additional energy through-out the day.

1 year subscriber

I've been a subscriber for a year and at age 67 with recent spinal fusion surgery, I needed something to support healthy muscle growth and nutrition. I've tried different products but didn't benefit from them. Muscle Defense gave me muscle hydration, growth, weight management. I'm completing 90 minutes of weight lifting and 1 hour cardio 4 times a week,plus loosing 15 pounds. I will say I've had a couple ordering issues that were quickly resolved through your customer service department I will continue to use Muscle Defense daily. Thank you.

I mix Muscle Defense in my morning protein shake.It has a great tasting flavor and it gives you the extra energy that you need to do your workouts.It helps build more muscle and it curves your appetite.Muscle Defense also helps you build self esteem as you work out harder and start to see and feel your body start to change for the better.I also have Muscle Defence in my protein shake for my lunch. As your workouts get more intense your body gets leaner and you build more muscle mass.People start to notice and say ,I don’t know what you are doing but keep it up because you look great.

I have been drinking this wonderful supplement for a good year or so. In the last couple of weeks, I began working out again. I have noticed that I am building more muscle and I am feeling less fatigue after workouts. I have made it a must to keep using Muscle Defense. Also, the taste is very good. I have tried mostly all of the flavors and I am not disappointed with none of them. I am happy to say that if you are looking for a great way to stay in shape and feel better then I recommend that you should try Muscle Defense. You will not be disappointed. I will continue using Muscle Defense in my daily routine. Thank you Muscle Defense..

I only had one bag (15 days) to try the GLP+. In that short period of time, I did seem to lose a little bit of belly fat. But it did not seem to curb my appetite. I may have had more positive results had I had a longer period of time to use it. But at the time I was only allowed to purchase the one bag for $29.99

I have to admit that I was a little…skeptical

I have to admit that I was a little skeptical about this product however, after three weeks, I have noticed the difference in my morning workouts, which usually are in the weight room or Pilates. I let my coffee, cool a bit, pour it together with the vanilla and shake it and it’s fantastic. Looking forward to future benefits.

It contains sucralose

It contains sucralose. It's a very harmful sweetener for the intestinal tract, causing insulin resistance and other problems. I don't recommend it. On the one hand, they want to take care of you with this healthy supplement, and on the other hand, they mix it with harmful sucralose.

60 day trial period not honoured

I ordered a weight loss supplement from this company on December 5th. I paid good money for this product, as well, had to pay US exchange rate. Received product on January 6, 2026, 31 days after ordering. Used product for about 28 days. This product was not for me. I followed instructions accordingly. I was not losing, if anything I gained. I emailed the contact person at Apex to ask the procedure on returning the remainder of this product and to receive my reimbursement back.

I was advised that I was over the trial period of 60 days. I only had the product in my possession for 28 days, the rest of the time was in delivery. I expressed this to the contact person, but to no avail. Their excuse was they had no control over delivery status.

This is not my fault that 30 days of my trial period was chewed up in delivery. Company should be advised by delivery company when product was delivered so that the trial can begin at that point. Situations like this should be looked at on an individual basis. I ordered this product in good faith....did not work for me....

I just want my money back!!!

Questionable and unreliable

I emailed Apex Labs before I received the order in order to cancel it based on my doctor’s instructions to not take these pills. No response. I called the day after I received the package and they claimed they have no record of the order & was told to call Digistore. Digistore cancelled the order & said that Aox labs will send the return instructions. I called and once again, Apex labs claimed they can’t find the order. I provided the order no. And the email from them confirming the order for shipment.

I strongly advise not to buy from this company. Incompetent staff and they make ut difficult to return the products despite claims of refunds if not satisfied. Robotic emails claiming they gave no record of the order when they had confirmed it.
Do not ever buy from this place!!!
