I called to order and try the product

I called to order and try the product. The guy insisted that I buy $200 of the product that will last two months. He cited the money back guarantee. I have been scammed online so much, I didn’t order anything. Seems like all they want is your money. $100 a month is expensive.

SCAM

They sent me a duplicate order by mistake. I had to pay extra shipping for the duplicate order.
The pills didn't work so I wanted to send back. I asked them to pay the extra shipping to ship back ther duplicate plus the return shipping total of $30. I paid my share of return shipping. They wont reimbimburse me. I sent back a shipment worth $379. Plus what was left that didn't work. Stuff is a scam and they aren't reputable. Stay away from them. I gave the 3 chances to reimburse me. Said we dont think we owe. SCAM

Muscle Defense fights back against age related muscle loss.

I have been taking Muscle Defense for at least six months and have found that it really helps me recover from strenuous activity (mostly tennis and hiking for me) and maintains muscle mass. My weight problem is keeping it on. Muscle Defense has helped me maintain my muscle mass. I'm now 67 years old and had been feeling incrementally weaker prior to incorporating Muscle Defense into my diet. I'm now able to maintain and slightly build my muscle mass. I don't expect miracles; I just want to play tennis, hike, bike, and stay as active as possible for as long as possible.
By the way, I like the Vanilla flavor and simply mix it in a 16 ounce glass with water and add a few ice cubes. No need for a shaker or anything fancy. No excuses, no mess, just part of my daily routine.

Easy to use and great tasting

Easy to use and great tasting. I had to back off after a few days as I got so loose I needed to be very close to a bathroom. I definitely notice less need for larger servings and I'm staying satisfied. Cravings HAVE gone down!

Great results

Always great customer service. I have had great results with both GLP+ and Muscle Defense. I have lost 35 - 40 lbs since March. Of course I have made some life style changes like going back to the gym. I have great energy and I have lost the weight while gaining muscle and not getting saggy skin. I call it kicking 60 in the ass!

Upper body as I never had

I've been taking muscle defense for more than a year now and I'm fully satisfied (mostly twice a day dose) and I can see how my upper body got to a point where I've never experienced in my life, without heavy weight lifting - nice shape and strength for a 50yr old guy that has little time for exercise.

Muscle Defense -- Game Changer

My name is Gino, I live in Albuquerque, NM, USA and am 76 years old. I have been using Muscle Defense for about a year an a half after reading about Dr. Gapin and studying his products as I was looking for a protein supplement that would complement my workouts. I am stronger and more energetic today than I have been in 25 years and most people I meet think I am 15-20 years younger. I enjoy all the flavors of MD and drink it daily. After I "retired", I started a small HVAC engineering firm and I feel the MD and my workouts give me the stamina to visit jobsites, do detailed computer work, play golf, and spend time with family and friends. Muscle Defense has truly been a game changer in my life.

Almost to my 2020 weight

I started using the product Aug 1 by having 1 daily portion in morning. In one month I have lost almost 8 lbs and I haven't really changed my routine. I do eat more fruit at lunch but to lose 8 lbs and weigh what I did in 2022 is amazing as I've been trying for years to lose my COVID weight gain. Needless to say, I am impressed and surprised at the results.

fighting old age is important

I try to take muscle defense every day. When I skip a day I feel less wholesome. It makes a difference to apply nutrition with my exercise routines so I less fatigued and recover better. At 78.75 years old I am battling an uphill journey, but getting help makes it more fun.

An absolute blessing

I started using Muscle Defense February 2025. I am 66 years old and loving life since starting Muscle Defense. It has given me the energy to start working out for the first time in my life. For the first time in 66 years, I am actually seeing muscles everywhere. Of course, I am also using the Primal Drive. The Apex Labs group have been awesome to work with. I am so thankful Dr. Tracy Gapin and his entire crew for doing what they do. I am now working out almost an hour every day of the week. Even after a 10-to-12-hour day at work. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

What I value

What has made my experience with Apex Labs great is; Time, quality, and performance.
The ease of ordering - the website is very easy to use and very fast with delivery (Time)
The products - I use Muscle Defense and I love the flavors and most importantly the results are amazing. It is a high quality product that delivers. No hype. Period. (Quality)
Results - I have lost over 20 lbs of body fat while increasing strength at the gym. I started at 63 years old, 5’ 9” over 200lbs and am now in the 175-180 lbs range. I have more energy and have increased workout weights and/or repetitions consistently since using Muscle Defense. Lat pull downs over 210lbs and tricep push downs at 110lbs both for 8-10 repetitions for two specific examples. My time in the gym has decreased to 30-40 minutes with the performance of increased strength due to Muscle Defense and a couple other supplements from Apex Labs. It took approximately two months for the initial fitness goals to be met. (Time, quality, and performance)
I will continue working with you to improve my fitness levels and fitness goals. Thank you for your support and encouragement!

The Results Speak for Themselves

Upon seeing the ads multiple times on social media, I was intrigued by the claims. I wanted to increase my lean muscle mass as it is important in helping with healthy longevity and after researching the science I made the commitment. Now, after several months I've been able to put on muscle without any weight gain, but more importantly, my strength is returning. I can not only move more weights in the gym, but those events in life requiring physical strength are also becoming easier. Thanks to Apex and Dr Gapin.
