Gero Vita

Gero Vita is one of the nation's largest distributors of herbal supplements and so-called "alternative health" products. Though formally pardoned by former President Clinton, Gero Vita founder Glenn Braswell has served time in federal prison for perjury and mail fraud. The Food and Drug Administration has seized Gero Vita products on several occasions and the Federal Trade Commission has prosecuted the company for allegedly making misleading claims.

I have been using Gero Vita GH3 for several years. I have not compared it to other vitamins, but must say that I feel much better when I use the product, having forgotten to take it on a few occasions. I am not ill, nor do I have any chronic problems; I simply find that my energy and mental health seem much better when using the product.

My grandfather has purchased the Gero-Vita G.H.3 supplement, thinking it would cure all of his aliments. He bought 8 bottles of this ****!  I called the company and asked that they take back the 7 bottles that are not open and refund him his money. THEY WILL NOT!  At 30.00 a bottle and my grandfather is on a fixed income, he needs that money. He is 88 years old, and now I am handling all his mail, and finances. I think they should take the unopened bottles of this garbage and refund him his money.

Ordered (1) bottle of PW1-Prostata. Merchandise never received. My VISA card was debited. Wrote (3) e-mails to help@gvistore.com informing them I had not yet received my order. When my VISA payment was due, I called VISA and informed them that the GVI item was in dispute as item had not yet been received. They redebited GVI and credited out the charge. Now I've received received an invoice from them for this amount. No one seems to reply to my plight. Never had this problem with them before as I have been dealing with these people for several years.
