Sue - Hawaii

For many years I couldnt get my weight under control. I felt sooo frustrated and full of despair. With Nainoas help I made a paradigm shift in my diet and exercise.
Purisalv not only provide the extra omegas and antioxidant's that I needed, but helped me in curbing my appetite.
I have now lost OVER 60 lbs!!! and am not done yet!

Pono Fernandez - In Shape for the 2011 Pageant

I honestly believe that Purisalv helped me attain my fitness goals this past year. When I began using Purisalv as a daily nutritional supplement, I was 129lbs, a weight that I seemed to be stuck at despite my diet and exercise regiment. With my modeling and pageant aspirations, I needed to try something new to get me past that hump.
I used Purisalv after breakfast or before meals, and I found that I didn't have to eat as much to feel satisfied. At the end of my pageant training three months later, I had dropped to 120lbs, a weight I haven't been since high school!
And my entire body was much more toned. I had lost weight AND put on muscle mass...how often does THAT happen? I'm going to continue using Purisalv as a nutritional and diet supplement, and I'm sure I'll be able to maintain my fitness success!

When I began training with Nainoa Gibson, I had specific goals in mind but also heavy doubts. I had been fighting at 167lbs for years, trying to get back down to my lowest weight as an adult, 136lbs. But I also wanted to accomplish muscle tone and definition. I thought it was impossible. Nainoa and I worked ruthlessly on my body fighting fat with weight training and unique cardio workouts.
Once Nainoa introduced me to Purisalv, the diet part of this tough regiment became significantly easier. It was a carb that I could eat without the extra calories. Nainoa introduced it to me when I had hit a plateau in my weight loss and was struggling with energy. I am now addicted (in a good way) to Purisalv's guaranteed results. I now have the energy to complete workouts more effectively and was able to overcome the plateau I hit at 144lbs.
When I won second place in the Hooter's of Hawaii bikini contest, I was proudly standing at a strong, consistent 135lbs. I now continue to use Purisalv to maintain my newly discovered body. Thank you Nainoa and Purisalv Chia Nutrition.

Aloha! Purisalv natural chia seeds, pound for pound one of the healthiest seeds on the planet. Perfect for any diet regimen. We use it, and suggest our clients do too.
When I first started incorporating the chia seeds into my diet regiment I was a bit unsure what this stuff was. To be honest it looked like bird seed and I thought to myself how can this actually help me? and is it worth it? I must say from the first time I added to my smoothies I was hooked on the consistency!!! Once the seed is added to water or other hydrating solution the outside becomes gelatinous while the inside remains insoluble fiber.
I found myself crunching away and actually having fun eating it. This peaked my interest and I started researching the health benefits of this seed. Needless to say there was a plethora of information as to the benefits of adding it to a daily diet and incorporating into your fitness plan. I have since recommended it to all of my clients and have nothing but great responses from each and everyone of them.
If you would like to contact me feel free to visit my website at www.hawaiipersonaltrainer4u.com and I would be happy to speak to you personally. Nainoa Gibson.

Hello, I am Mercia Ann Hatton, will be 57 years old September 2011. I have been large large my whole life. At this point in life it has been so difficult to lose weight. I have arthritis, high blood pressure, and a tendency for low blood sugar. I am a nurse, work at night and have wierd sleeping and eating patterns which do not help with any weight loss plans. I bought a scale with tax money this year and found I was at my highest weight of 374.6 on March 14th, 2011.
I cried a lot and was too embarrassed to even tell my husband for days. I got online looking for current diet trends and found a chart that compared 10 leading products. The Purisalv chia was the one with the highest rankings in appetite control, nutritional benefits, ease of use and overall product cost. I tried it and immediately began losing weight.
When I ran out I thought I could buy chia at a health food store and get better price and convenience of driving to store when I needed it. Boy was I disappointed. I did not have consistent weight loss and was not being satisfied with hunger urges. Soooo ... went back to Purisalv and am back of track with a gradual but consistent weight loss.
On June 3, 2011 I weighed 342.0 and as of July 27, 2011 I weighed 326.6. That is 48 pounds in less than 5 months. I use two tablespoons in a drink or low carb yogurt 2-3 times a day, depending on work and sleep schedules. I pay attention to what I eat, but I am not extremely dieting and don't deprive myself of something that is tempting me a lot. I know if I don't allow a little leeway, I might binge out of desperation. I just eat it in moderation.
I am so thrilled with the Purisalv Chia and will continue to use it knowing it is the first thing that has helped me in 30+ years to actually lose weight in a consistent manner. I think I am sleeping better and my blood pressure is consistently lower. I share your information with others around me. Thank you Purisalv.

I have been working out and dieting for the past year and have lost a significant amount of weight. But, I hit that weight loss plateau that you hit at my age and could not get rid of the last stubborn 14lbs to hit my weight loss goal. I was frustrated to say the least.
Then before I lost all hope my trainer suggested that I add Purisalv to my diet to help me push pass this plateau. And WOW! A little over a month and some hard work later, I reached my goal and the last 14lbs went bye bye.
My best monthly weight loss before using Purisalv was maybe 8lbs, so this was very exciting! I was so excited that I started training for my first 13 mile mini marathon this upcoming May. I am probably not going to run the whole way, but since Purisalv has really increased my endurance and energy levels after my long cardio/power walks, I think I can successfully complete the mini marathon.
I would definitely recommend Purisalv to anyone of any age who is looking for an extra boost in endurance or to get them over that last hill in there weight loss battle.
Stephanie - NYC

I noticed I was gaining weight in college, but it wasn't too bad, 5 to 10 lbs isn't anything to worry about. But, after graduating and going into the workforce the weight gain started to get serious. I was technically obese and over 25lbs heavier than I was just 4 years ago. And it seemed I needed to buy new clothes for business and formal functions almost every other month. Those are not cheap, so I decided that the weight gain had to stop.
I started taking Purisalv after my friend recommended it. At first it just seemed to maintain my weight. But, during the end of the 2nd week I started to see some weight loss results, 3lbs. yeah! After 5 weeks now I have dropped 3 sizes (almost 4!) and 16 lbs! Pretty dramatic considering I am only 5 feet 2 inches tall! And best of all I am a little under 10lbs to my target pre-college weight goal!
I feel healthy and definitely more active. I even joined a gym and go bike riding around the city, which is the best way to get around this city. I never would have done any of these things 6 or even 3 months ago.
Thanks so much. Purisalv is really making it easy for me to get to my weight loss goals!
Ben - Hawaii

Purisalv is a great asset to any training regimen.
I used Purisalv in combination with weight training to help lower my body fat and get my body more toned. I’m not done yet. I love the results and I’m certain that Purisalv has played a big part in the results.
I felt that I was getting more vitamins with Purisalv and it went very well with my Oatmeal. I had multiple knee surgeries and the 18lbs I lost makes a huge difference in how I feel and move. Look better, feel better, live better!
Thanks Purisalv!
Jon - Indiana

All of my life I have continually battled with my weight. While I was in Hawaii I was embarrassed to go to the beach because I was didn't want anyone to see me without my shirt and after looking at my vacation pictures I knew that I had to do something.
I tried going back to my workouts and diet that I normally used when I needed to drop a few pounds, but this time it wasn't working and my body was not responding like it used to. I needed some help so I tried Purisalv.
Purisalv quickly got me to lose 11 pounds in my first month. Purisalv helped me curb my unhealthy snack cravings and gave me the energy to get a better workout at the gym. It's been three months and I dropped 38 pounds and I am still losing weight.
Since losing all this weight, I had the courage to complete my first 10k run and it felt just incredible to do something I didn't think I could do just a year before. Now, I have a new goal, to train for a marathon. I am also planning another trip to Hawaii and I will be at the beach.
With Purisalv I lost 38 pounds quickly and I feel like a new person. This is truly the best weight loss product I have ever used and I would definitely recommend Purisalv to anyone that is serious about weight loss.

I am a 28 year old new mother and Purisalv chia has helped me tremendously during my pregnancy! When I found out I was pregnant, my OB had me start taking daily vitamins instead of jumping into prenatal vitamins. He's said that he'd monitor me throughout my pregnancy in order to make necessary adjustments to ensure that my baby and I had the proper nutrition. Even over-the-counter prenatal vitamins are huge pills (aside from the other pills that are suggested for use, such as fish oil pills) and they also tend to make women feel very sick, so I was very happy to start on regular daily vitamins. I found some great chewable vitamins that worked for me, but with the demands of pregnancy, I knew that they eventually wouldn't be enough if I wanted to stay off of the prenatal pills.
I started doing my research to see what I could add to my meals that would help sustain my nutritional needs, and that's when I found Purisalv. It's the only thing that I found to provide me all of the elements I need, without having to incorporate 2 or 3 other items into my meals. I started adding it to my daily snack of yogurt, fruit and honey, and on some lazy days I just put a spoonful in my water. I've found that I continued to feel great, and I had numerous comments from people about how active and energetic I seemed, even in the later stages of my pregnancy. I even added some prenatal yoga to my weekly routines, while keeping up the healthy eating with my daily dose of chia. Not only did it help with my nutritional needs, but it helped keep me hydrated (a big deal for expectant mothers) and it has helped me feel full and avoid some of the temptations to eat more sweets.
The birth went better than expected, and my doctor says that baby and I are going great! Plus, my pregnancy weight has been shedding tremendously. I was at 154 lbs at the peak of my pregnancy, but now six weeks after giving birth I am at an amazing 119 lbs. Only 5 lbs heavier than I was before pregnancy. I definitely would recommend Purisalv to expectant mothers to provide their bodies and baby with excellent nutrition and to help them keep the unwanted pounds off!
Jason - Terre Haute IN


I have always been big, like pro-wrestler big. And I go to the gym often and eat lean protein and keep my carb intake low. But I have never been really able to drop my extra weight and get really defined muscles.
I have taken Creatine, Ripped Fuel, IsoPure, etc. And I have been able to perform better in the gym and get more powerful but the extra layer of fat has always been haunting me.
So, I decided to go all natural and see where that takes me. I asked one of my gym buddies how he does it, be strong and have defined muscles. He told me chia seeds were the way to go. And he gave me a bottle of Purisalv chia seeds because he said they were the best out of the bunch.
Well it’s now three bottles later and I have dropped an amazing 23 pounds without losing any strength. Plus, I am really happy about my muscle definition. I think it is really coming along now. Thanks Purisalv, couldn’t have done it with out you.
Dr. Rand Pellegrino, M.D. - Kailua Hawaii
Purisalv chia seeds are full of protein, Omega-3s, fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins. On the average, they consist of 20% protein, 34% oil / fatty acids, and 25% fiber. Purisalv chia seeds are also packed with vitamin B, vitamin C, Vitamin E, and Calcium. In fact, out of all natural dietary supplements, chia seeds are said to be the one of the richest sources of Omega-3 fatty acids and water soluble dietary fiber that we can add to our daily diets.
Purisalv chia seeds have a natural gel forming property that slows digestion and help keep blood sugar levels stable, which aids in the prevention and/or control of diabetes. The felling of fullness after eating Purisalv aids in weight control and weight loss. And, because chia seeds soak up to nine times their weight in water and toxins, they are a very good fiber source to regulate and detoxify your colon.
Scientific research has shown chia seeds supports heart health, stabilize blood sugar, have anti-inflammatory properties, help with weight loss, help with detoxification and elimination, full of antioxidants. Plus, more research shows that chia seeds provide energy while lessen the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Purisalv chia seeds can easily be integrated into your every day diet. They can be sprinkled on your cereal, salads, or yogurt. The seeds can be sprouted, like Alfalfa sprouts, and used in salads or sandwiches.
2 tablespoons of Purisalv chia seeds per day is all you need to get 7 grams of fiber, 2 grams of protein, 205 milligrams of calcium and 5 grams omega-3s.
I highly recommend Purisalv Chia Seeds.
Matt - Youngstown, Ohio
After continuously getting injured running I was referred to the "Born to Run" book that helped me with my injuries. In the book they talked about the great qualities of chia seeds. I started taking Purisalv for the inflammation of my knee and the nutrients that it provided, but I found that I was losing weight with it. After eating a spoonful in my beverage, I am full for hours with no desire to snack in between meals. Since my knee is back to normal I am back to running daily and Purisalv chia has even helped me to increase from a half marathon to a full marathon. I feel like I am getting back into the shape I was in when I was in college. I would recommend Purisalv Chia Seeds to anyone looking to get in shape.
Rachael - Las Vegas
After giving birth I really struggled to lose the baby weight. I didn’t think the weight was ever going to come off. I wanted to take a weight loss pill, but I knew I couldn’t because I was breast feeding. After doing some searching I found out that Purisalv chia was in the the book called ‘the 100 healthiest foods to eat during pregnancy’. With purisalv I lost 6 lb in 2 weeks and 16 lbs in just six weeks. I finally was able to control my appetite, my energy level was like I was 18 again,and I just felt better. I am almost back to my old self. I owe it all to purisalv.
Gerald - Holiday FL
Being overweight and having major health issues is a dangerous combination. I have two kids and I wanted to be around to walk my daughter down the isle when she grows up. I knew I had to change for their sake. I tried to eat right and excercise, but it was hard. My friend recommended that I try purisalv because he was successful with it. I was surprised to find out that my doctor said that it was safe to take with my health issues. He said that it would actually help control my diabetes and good for my heart. The first thing I noticed was that the seeds kept me really full. I mixed them with crystal light and it tasted great. Purisalv really helped give me energy and even my mood. I increased my workout time by 30 minutes. I am finally losing weight. Purisalv has been a huge contributor for me changing my life. After I reach my target weight I will continue to take purisalv for the nutrional benefits. Thanks.
Tim S. - Stockton CA
I was really frustrated with trying to lose weight. I lost 17 lbs but I hit a plateau and couldn’t lose anymore. I knew I needed help. I was scared to take a diet pill because of the dangerous side effects that came with them. I had already had a bad reaction to a popular product in the past. After doing some research online I found purisalv. People were saying that it worked for weight loss and it was healthy. I had never heard of such a thing. I skeptically gave it a try. After taking purisalv, I was so full that I didn’t want to eat lunch. The first month of using the seeds the I got over my plateau and now am on my way of beating my goal of 50 lbs
Sandy Wilson - Pensacola, FL
I am a 65 year old woman that has diabetes. I have had type 2 for 15 years and have taken myriad of medications to help control my blood sugar. I do exercise daily and eat healthy. I exercise daily on the treadmill, lifting weights and bicycling. I could only do 30 - 45 minutes before getting tired. I was introduced to Purisalv 30 days ago, sprinkling this on my cereal, in yogurt and on fresh salads. Purisalv has a great nutty flavor. Since I have been eating this regularly while continuing my exercise and healthy eating I have lost 5 pounds and stay full longer, but the best news of all, I have been able to reduce the number of medications I am on for diabetes. I continue to exercise and have added an extra 30 minutes to my daily workouts and have added 250 crunches. I have several of my "senior" friends eating Pursilav now and they are loving it too. This is great stuff!
Lara P - New York
After having my baby boy, I really struggled with losing the extra weight. No matter what I did the weight would not come off. I knew that taking a supplement was out of the question because I was breastfeeding plus most supplements scare me because of the side effects.
I was told that Purisalv might be a good option for me since it is very healthy for me and the baby. Even though the site says that it is healthy, I double checked with my doctor. After getting her thumbs up, I purchased four bottles.
I am happy to announce the baby weight is finally coming off. I have now gone from 142 lbs to 124 lbs with the help of Purisalv. Thanks.
Letty Zita - Hawaii
I'm a 55 year old med tech who has suffered from nerve and joint pain for years. About 5 years ago I had surgery on both wrists for carpal tunnel, and it seemed as though I was getting similar pains in my elbows from constant work on the computer in the lab. The operation the first time around involved significant recovery time, so I wanted to find out what I could do before resorting to surgery again. My co-worker mentioned chia seeds to me and offered me what he called the "miracle seed". I started taking it, and within a few days, I noticed that some of my pain had almost magically been alleviated. My problem came to getting more of it. Local resources made it costly or difficult to get my hands on it, so I had to go to the internet. I'm not a big fan of internet shopping with all of the scams out there nowadays, but after calling to ask some questions about Purisalv, I placed an order. The customer service representative was very polite and able to answer all of my questions (including quality and origin of their seeds - which I've very happy with), so I felt comfortable moving forward. Within a couple of days, I had my chia and my friends and I have been reordering from them since. It's been about 3 months now, and I don't have any pain in my arms anymore. I haven't done anything differently but take the Purisalv chia, so I'm convinced that's what did it. Thank you so much for helping me get my miracle seed!
Sarah - Chino Hills, CA
At the beginning of the year I told myself that it was time to get in shape. A friend recommended that I use a weight loss supplement. After some research I realized that I did not want to use a supplement, but instead I found Purisalv Chia Seeds. I liked that Purisalv chia seeds are made in a FDA certified facility and most supplements are not. I felt safe trying them. The nutrition in these little seeds are amazing. How can so much be packed into one small seed. I started adding them to everything that I consumed my water, yogurt, salads. Before each meal I would drink a vitamin water zero with a scoop of Purisalv chia. I noticed that I would eat much less at meal time. I was keeping a food journal and watched my calorie intake dip by almost 700 calories per day. Within a few days I noticed that my energy level had increased greatly with no crash. My workouts were much more intense. Instead of a half hour workout I was going at it for over an hour. I even cut down on my caffeine intake and I don't feel groggy in the middle of the day. After six weeks I lost a total of 16 pounds naturally and have been adding on muscle too.
