I didn't buy it from Revain but bought it from a body ecology site and they don't publish my review. I rarely write negative reviews of companies unless it's serious. I've been eating this for about 6 months, I really like the taste although I know some people don't like it. I am extremely disappointed. In the last few weeks I've noticed that I'm feeling bad, my hair isn't growing and it's falling out more than usual. I also had trouble sleeping, which is unheard of for me. I remembered reading a review here where one person found their iodine levels were high after eating this for a while. I don't take any iodine supplements either. I had my thyroid checked and it was producing too many hormones. It's called hyperthyroidism. I immediately stopped taking the protein powder and within a week my hair was alive again and my sleep was back to normal. My doctor told me to wait a month before checking my thyroid again. If the values return to normal after a month, I strongly suspect that this was the cause. I also don't like that sugar alcohols are used there. Some people here are reviewing the sweetener they are selling on this site also listed as "healthy" on this product. Far from healthy, the processed form of corn has been turned into alcohol sugar. It is better to consume small amounts of coconut blossom sugar, raw honey or maple syrup (organic). In addition, the sweetener grown in China contains monk fruit. To be honest, I don't trust anything that is made in China, organic or not. The fruit is then processed into a sweetener that is formed. High workmanship is never good. The further away a substance is from its original composition, the less beneficial it is to health. I really liked this product and looked up the facts about the sweetener it contains, but the iodine problem obviously made me stop eating it. Another problem I have is that the ingredients say they are organic flavors. Doesn't tell you what's actually in the taste. I am disappointed in the body ecology for not making its ingredients transparent. If you're proud of what you put into your product, you need to label it with clear, concise ingredients. Or just add a real vanilla bean to the product and then it can be labeled properly without hiding anything. Also too much salt, it has a lot of sodium. On a positive note, I love their cocobiotic drink and green powder. Update: My thyroid returned to normal a month after stopping and retesting this powder. I was also told that I had high iron when I got my thyroid balance blood test, but since I wasn't taking iron I didn't think about it until I saw another review that said they had high iron. . This is dangerous for humans. Prolonged use can cause serious health problems. I told the company about my thyroid problem and that seaweed meal was too rich in these minerals for everyday use. They haven't done anything about it over a year later.
