I was on the fence

I was on the fence. Then I read the most bogus "review" I ever read. How stupid can you get. I guess when you're willing to rip the older population off with fake products and take their dwindling savings for your gain, you lose your judgements about how best to lie to people! Stay away from Muscle Defense

It seems anyone can now make a "clip"…

It seems anyone can now make a "clip" to proclaim wondrous results and not pay a penalty when it is proven it doesn't work. Why are there no barriers for false advertising, especially on health issues? It's bad enough us "old guys" have to deal with aging, but also to deal with scams that take your money when it's tough enough living on SS . It's pretty sad that there are people out there willing to gyp anyone, especially the elderly.

Don’t waste your money or time

Don’t waste your money or time. I’ve used this product for three months and worked out as I did my last 28 years of military service and didn’t see any results, zero results. I’ve achieved better results using other top brands at your typical vitamin and supplement stores. I even changed my diet plan and ate cleaner worked out 4-5 times a week, not anything crazy like heavy Weights, at 54 years old I work out with light weights and lots of reps. This junk didn’t do anything for me. No results and no shredding. Going back to my old and trusty protein powder Naked Whey and Pea protein.

Amazing Product!

I don't write reviews, ever. I just don't have time. But I feel that I must write a review for Apex Labs' Muscle Defense, which I have been taking for over two months now.

I've been working out since I was 12 years old but now at age 62, I had been working hard just to maintain muscle mass and spending a fortune on supplements that no longer did much for me. And if I took a week or two off, I lost whatever muscle firmness I had gained.

I had considered quitting lifting (what's the point?) but I didn't because I knew that rapid muscle atrophy would be imminent as soon as I stopped lifting. As a last resort, then, I tried Muscle Defense and I was astounded that the results, for me, were almost immediate. Not only has my strength increased significantly, I have been building muscle again, and other than my core (still working on that), I'm actually getting kind of ripped again. Truly amazing to me.

Interesting, too, is that before starting Muscle Defense, I experienced severe shoulder pain from a previous lifting injury, for which I refused surgery. The pain was so bad that I either could no longer peform certain excercises, such as lateral raises or incline bench presses, or I was stuck on super light weights. Frustrating, for sure, but virtually from day 1 of taking Muscle Defense, my shoulder pain has been reduced about 90-95%, allowing me to work out normally again.

It's worth noting too that I have continued to take my regular supplements, so its impossible to say that all of my recent gains are 100% due to Muscle Defense, but what I can surmise is that Muscle Defense has enabled those supplements to be effective again.

I have read some bad reviews of this product. I accepted the financial risk, expecting zero results like everything else I had tried, because I was at wit's end. Yet for my age and genetics, it has been a godsend. I love it and if you're experiencing the same challenges as I was, I highly recommend giving it a try.

Total garbage

Two months in I realized this was crap. Google mapped the address of Apex Labs and it was a garage door warehouse in a desert setting. It is a SCAM.

Contrary to apparent popular belief....

I'm 68 years old and I've been weight training since I was 23 years old. I've been using Muscle Defense for the last six months and rather than simply maintaining my physique after about two months I started making gains that people my age are not supposed to be able to make. And I did it without altering my workout routine other than I find myself lifting heavier weights than before. I've gained muscle mass & lost fat while increasing my bone density. It's working for me!

Absolutely do not give them your information, don't even fill it in. I used autofill and went through checkout just to see the shipping cost but then decided not to buy. My phone has been spam called and texted 4 times in the 30 minutes since then.
Absolutely ridiculous.

Against my better judgment

Against my better judgment, I wasted 5 minutes of time I'll never get back 'watching' this piece of crud (I didn't watch the whole thing, thank goodness - just let the interminable video run and did other things, only watching the end). Searched for 'scam alert' and came to this place. Love how he said "no pills" at the beginning; what a joke. Well at least it appears they do honor the 60-day refund; it's on you if you can't be organized enough to put it on your calendar!

I used the Apex Labs Muscle Defense and have nothing to show for it whatsoever. No positive results, no changes in my muscle mass. Didn't look at the return policy till 3 packs in and you have to save the packaging to get a refund and you have to send it all back on your dime if you want a refund. If they really believed in their product, they would offer a return, no questions asked. Don't waste your time with this product.

SCAM (IMHO) I listened to the video to the end SCAM

I listened to the video to the end. It was very well presented, and in an easily understandable manner. I attempted to purchase one of the "Special deals' but a pop up stated that something went astray (me playing nice). Immediately ANOTHER DEAL popped up. I was placed on guard for a possible scam. No matter what I did, I couldn't advance the, seemingly stopped, purchase, or go back. Then ANOTHER DEAL popped up as my bank sent a "Scam Alert" via text. I lost control of the whole thing, as well as my composure and called and cancelled the order. I'll just have to wait the 7 days, or so, to see if I am refunded. They took the $ in seconds, WHY does it take a week to return it?

Tried it for 2 months

Tried it for 2 months. Tastes terrible but forced it down everyday. Gained 4-5 pounds.
Just past the refund time. They have figured this timing out.
Just another sales pitch in this wacked out world.
Can't trust anything anymore.

Apex muscle defense provided no gain

Apex muscle defense provided no noticeable difference, even with increased work outs. In fact there may be negative impacts. The company will not honor any refund after 60 days. This product was a mistake and not worth buying
