Amazing results…

I have been using muscle defense every morning for over a year now. I am 70 years old and I am aware of the normal expected muscle loss with age but this has been a game changer for me. I have gained strength and dropped from 190lbs to 170lbs and feel great. It was definitely the muscle defense that made the difference.

What made my experience great is that my former coworkers and the men I have met noticed the difference in my body and arms.I like the way we are kept informed about new products and the sales. I believe this product should be advertised. When I go to the gym both young and old are into body building. They would like the product. I can be an example of what the product can do.

Great start on improving my muscle issues due to age.

I've only used the product for a month or so, but so far I have seen improvement in reducing muscle stiffness, aces, and soreness. Getting up out of bed in the morning has been harder the older I get and taking a statin has made it worse. I feel a noticable improvement since taking the product. I hope the improvement continues to get better the longer I use it. The only recommendations I have to improve my experience are to reduce the growling on an empty stomach in the morning when I drink it and to make the cost cheaper.

"So far"

So far, I have not yet seen any results in relation to leaning out . I take the ammino acid muscle defense and the probiotic capsules as directed, but as I said to one of your associates at the time of my last order: What should I be looking for as far as my physique? I believe the product is excellent and I trust you. I was placed on the automatic renewal delivery system without my knowledge or consent. I believe I resolved the issue with Roxanne. I will continue to support the product but only if I control the reordering. Am I expecting too much from the products? Best, John .

Hey John, while results can vary, 85% of our customers start noticing improvements like increased strength and faster recovery within two months. While Muscle Defense supports long-term body weight goals, thanks to ingredients like ursolic acid, for faster, more effective leaning out, we recommend our newest formula: GLP+.

This stuff actually works

This stuff actually works. I have lost 8lbs and gained muscle mass in my arms and legs. My back dose not hurt near as much as it use to. I feel stronger and have more energy. I walk 5 to 7 miles 4 to 6 days a week. I really appreciate a product that does what it is advertised to do. Thanks for making this. Jack

Okay here it is

Okay here it is. I I'm not one to leave a review. But I always do love to give a supplement time and found that consistency in anything you do is vital I'll be 59 in a few sure months and always have believed in supplements being electrician and working out on the road good nutrition was always something hard to find just like a good supplement protein/ Amino, Omega-3 the people who know me best say it more and more it appears I'm aging backwards. Don't change a thing and be sure to tell everyone consistency is the key most people don't get out of shape in a month or even six

I have been using Muscle Defense for 6 months. 1 scoop pre-workout in the morning. It provides me added energy and focus to increase the volume of my strength training every session ( reps x weight). I see a noticeable increase in muscle mass and decrease in body fat.

The product is top notch

The product is top notch! My go to every day is the chocolate muscle defense! I’ve been using it religiously for about 3 months. During this time I’ve gone from 240 lbs to 213 lbs, while building muscle. I’m currently at about 9% body fat! Needless to say, I’m elated with Apex Labs!

We're stoked to hear you're feeling more mobile! To maximize results from here, it really comes down to consistency and how often you're hitting strength-focused movements each week. Whilst results will vary, if you stick with Muscle Defense, stay consistent, and start gradually building up your training volume, you can hopefully start seeing those changes in gains. Hope you get the results you're looking for!

Be consistent and deticated

I just turned 62 years old. Have been a gym guy most of my life. People need to understand that consistency and patients wins in the long run. Today's society of instant gratification will leave you frustrated and disappointed. You need several months of consistency and dedication to realize changes within yourself. Just had this conversation with a young guy at the gym.How much effort you are willing to put into something will dictate your results.I be believe in muscle defense to help achieve your goals.

Absolutely terrible

Absolutely terrible. I never signed up for the stuff. From what I’ve been told and employee wanted to buy it one time to try it out. We cannot get your people to cancel the subscription. You guys have charged me tons of money. I’m looking into ways to either sue you or completely come after you for the damages That you have caused on my checking account and the product is absolute garbage. I never signed up for your scam and you guys are terrible the way that you handle business. I want my money back. I want a full refund for all the charges and you guys need to make this right or I’m to slam you on social media and all my platforms for being a scam!

I bought this expensive stuff

I bought this expensive stuff - ridiculous. It is FULL of sugars or sugar-like compounds, the worst things you can eat for your health. So sweet it's overpowering. Waited a few months and tried again - no more, it's $100 in the trash.
