So far, I am quite unhappy. After purchasing, there appeared a disclaimer on my receipt saying shipment could take 1-2 weeks. That was not stated while ordering. If I had known that, I would not have ordered from this company. I was due to see my physician in a week. He sells the same supplements at the same price. Second, Clinical gives the option of tracking or receiving text updates. I have been unable to track because I was supposedly sent a verification code, which I never received, and I have not received any updates. I decided to call and follow up within the designated hours 2-4 weekday. No answer and the vm mailbox is full. The vm message asks for understanding as "patient care is our priority". There may be nice people behind this, however, they do not know how to run a business. At the risk of seeming heartless, I do not have an investment in the company. If I order supplements, I expect the service to run smoothly and it is not my problem to give the company space for their patient care. I am a patient too after all, just not theirs. Many companies sell supplements. I recommend you go elsewhere. They are quick to take your money and slow or inexistent on service.

Defective product, spotty customer service
I first purchased Biotoxin Binder from another company and was very happy with the results. It was especially helpful in negating the effects of living in a city where they spray weeds with Roundup and/or Spectracide, which for me causes cold-like symptoms (which these days might be mistaken for Covid symptoms!) and digestive distress. I'd taken as many as 8 capsules in a day when I'd had a really bad exposure. I was looking for another supplier because I'd ordered it through a nutritionist I was no longer seeing, having reached my goals with him. I was glad to find Clinical Nutrition Centers carried it. I ordered it and started taking it. I took it for a week. All week I had strange digestive distress. No appetite, and when I did eat I felt awful. I chalked it up to other things-maybe I'd eaten something my body didn't like, etc. Then came Saturday morning. I was about to leave for rehearsal and saw the neighbor across the street spraying for weeds. I figured I'd nip my reaction in the bud and take Biotoxin Binder. I took it with food but no other supplements. Within 20 minutes the symptoms started, and continued all day: gas, burping, no appetite/stomach couldn't handle food. It was awful. So I emailed to see if I could get a refund. I clearly can't use this product; can't go through another week of not eating much! I explained the situation. First, they replied and asked about dosage, and suggested my practitioner might need to adjust the dosage. I explained I wasn't seeing them anymore, and that I'd had great results with the first bottle from the other company even with a high dose. From there the emails got shorter and terser, implying I was taking it incorrectly. I finally emailed back and said "this is not a case of me using the product incorrectly [8 doses with a bottle from the previous company, and no side effects!] This is a case of having great results with the product previously, and experiencing negative side effects with the bottle I purchased from this company. I am requesting a refund based solely on that and would appreciate a decision at your earliest convenience."
Then they ghosted me. It's been a month, with no response. No "sorry, we don't offer refunds", nothing.
I would not purchase the product or anything else from this company.
Edit on 5/23/22: The company messaged here (see below) and also via email/their website messaging center. I replied on their messaging center on April 4th. I also tried calling them twice, on April 19th and May 5th (and sent a followup email on each of those dates as well). There was no answer either time, the voicemail was full, and to date (May 23rd), I have received no further communication from them. I also have not received the padded envelope mentioned below so I can return the defective product. I added a star to the review for their initial efforts, but remain disappointed with the product I was sent and the lack of resolution.

Ms. Teplik, we are sorry for your recent product experience. We have received a few other similar complaints and experiences with this Cellcore Biotoxin Binder. Although most people who have purchased it do not complain about unwanted symptoms but are able to successfully utilize it. We had contacted Cellcore about these few complaints in late 2020 and Cellcore informed us that they made a product reformulation in about August 2021. This is the reason for your unwanted symptoms as others complained about the same issues with it. Although we do not make the item and did not make the final reformulation recipe, we are happy to send to you a prepaid postage and labeled padded envelope for you to return the bottle to us. Once we receive the returned product, we will provide to you a full refund. Simply put, unless the product is yet reformulated again, you will most assuredly always feel these undesired symptoms. There are other similar products we can advise you to try from other Brands who may not have sourced their materials from the same sources as Cellcore. Let us know what else we can do to assist you. Thank you for shopping with us. We are happy to have served you and completed the fulfillment process. We would appreciate a modified review, thank you.

I have not received my order yet. I expected to have it by now. It is hard to give a good review before I have my order. What could be taking this long?

Anne, we are sorry about this order not being able to be fulfilled at the time it was placed. The product was on an extended Brand manufacturing backorder status at the time. We did not charge your credit card and your payment data had expired during the wait for the product to be produced by the Brand. Thank you for your shopping with us.

Your online information need. Poor and Disceptive Advertizing
Your online information needs improvement as I was suppose to receive a 10% discount on my first order using the code First and discount was not offered at checkout. Tried to receive the discount through corporate after sales with no positive results,
They indicate I could use the code FIRST on my subsequent orders. I said sure ok, wink wink, that would be my second order with them not the first order as the coupon discount code represent.

My package arrived later than I it would. It took 3 business days to ship out and 3 days to ship. If I knew it was going to take a week to receive, I would have selected another shipping option or purchased the item somewhere else.

Amanda, thank you for your order. We are sorry for your frustration regarding the speed with which you received your order. We always strive to provide fast shipping pursuant to our shipping policies. It is likely you did not review our shipping policies before you ordered products. The product company Ortho Molecular has had some product inventory issues with their Core Restore Detox Kits regarding their raw material ingredient supplies. The Core Restore Chocolate is on backorder until January 2018 and their Vanilla flavor has off and on problems with the raw materials and inventory supply.
If we do not ship within 24 hours, it is likely due to the product being temporarily out of stock. We receive shipments daily from many manufacturers in order to keep up with order demands. However, most people do not wait until the last few capsules of supplements are remaining in their bottles to order products they rely upon, as they know products may need to be ordered by a doctor's office to restore stock levels.
You are always welcome to send an email message along with your order expressing the urgency to have products shipped ASAp, in that way we can address your concerns by reaching out to you with inventory information.
We are sorry you experienced one of the few times that we were low on one or more products' inventory levels, which required us to procure new and fresh products for you in order to fulfill your purchase. We understand your frustration but we believe you stretched the facts a little in recapping the timeline and timeframe on speed of shipping when taking in consideration that you likely did not read our shipping policies.
You made your order on October 4, 2017 and we shipped on October 9, 2017, which is only 5 days from the order date. This order-to-shipping timeline of 5 days for your order included the weekend, whereby we are not open on weekends nor do we ship on weekends. We think you may not have read our shipping policies.
One of the other ways we try to keep customers satisfied is also by keeping products fresh and not warehousing old products that are close to meeting a "Best Buy date". Otherwise, products can go out of date and we know other companies build into their prices the losses incurred by exopired products. At least you can rely on our products always being fresh. They are always kept in our clinic's temperature controlled store, not in an extremely hot or cold warehouse.
We always recommend not to wait until the last 1-3 days before your supplement bottles are empty, please consider re-ordering at least 7-10 days before needing products. This way you are always safe with inventory levels and shipping times. Otherwise call us in advance.
Again, thank you for your order and we look forwards to fulfilling future orders for you.
