Force Factor VolcaNO Review – The Bottom Line

We were encouraged by the inclusion of beneficial energy boosting ingredients in this supplement, and the presence of a 30 day guarantee, and the option to try the product for 2 weeks risk free. We were disappointed by many other things though. In terms of ingredients we were not pleased to see that it contains artificial colorings (FD&C Red #40, and FD&C Blue #1), gelatin, fillers and binders. Pricewise at $69.99 for a one month supply, and with no discounts or incentives, this is a very expensive product to use. There is a guarantee but it is short at 30 days, does not seem to allow opened bottles to be returned, and does not include return shipping and handling costs. We were concerned about the possible side effects when using this supplement at the recommended dose of four capsules per day. These include serious side effects to kidneys, liver, and heart, and less serious side effects like stomach pain, diarrhea, nausea and muscle cramps. We recommend that you look to purchase a supplement with a better and longer guarantee, that is priced better, and has bulk buying discounts.
