ADMIN – Hi Sheila,

I have purchased several of these products. but I do not retain their reciepts. do i qualify?
ADMIN – Hi Claude,
Yes
I purchased this product for my Mom several times but, she still ended up having a knee replacement
Im so confused, my dad has been taking these for years, but in the summary it says that the settlement doesnt think that they’re unsafe… are they or not??
ADMIN – Hi Medinat,
There is a world of difference between a product that does not work and a product that is unsafe.
…not to mention that they [usually] settle without admitting any wrongdoing
I have purchased I did not feel better and quite them. Tossed them out.
my email is mvella43@yahoo.comi was recommended them by friend and threw them out after 3 weeks span.
ADMIN – Hi Mike,
Leaving your email here does not constitute filing a claim.
This site is off I picked the amount I qualify for but claiming only (4) and it wouldn’t go thru
ADMIN – Hi Margaret,
Contact the class action administrator.
I have purchase several of Nature Made products, i’m not sure which one made me sick so I stop taking them all.
How to I file a claim?
ADMIN – Hi Shirley,
Click on the link that reads: “click here to file a claim”
Is it weird that I only come to the comments section to read the snarky replies from the admin?
ADMIN – Hi Abe,
Snarky is a bit harsh. You love the admin and you know it.
Love the admin fo sho
ADMIN – Hi T,
The ADMIN loves you too
😉
I’ve always enjoyed reading the admin’s comments. Hardest laugh of the day. I do a similar job and it is so refreshing to see distilled, absolute logic laid out in response to these inquiries. You have a fan club. <3
ADMIN – Hi Ghislaine,
I am seriously thinking about making stickers that simply read “THE ADMIN” 😉
I have purchased many of these products.
I do not have any documentation of proof.
ADMIN – Hi Brenda,
No proof of purchase needed for this one.
I have purchased and used many of these products in the past. Never found any benfit.
I have purchase many products from Nature Made. I broke out in a rash using both B complex . The omega oil gave me a upset stomach. The prenatal vitamins made me throw up. I am not pregnant, but have continued to use prenatal vitamins.
ADMIN – Hi Brenda,
Why in the world would you continue taking something that makes you vomit?
She likes vomiting!
how long does it take to get the cash award?
ADMIN – Hi Tommy,
Months, sometimes years. That depends on wether there are appeals or not.
HOW DO I USE A COMPUTER I AM STUPID I TAKE PILLS AND NOTHING MAGIC HAPPENS. PLEASE PUT MY NAME IN THE CLASS ACTION RAFFLE HERES MY PHONE NUMBER….
Just kidding. But seriously, have ANY of these people commenting ever used a computer before? And do people think vitamins and supplements magically “heal” you or keep you from having to undergo surgery for a chronic, serious condition? “THESE PILLS DIDN’T HEAL MY KNEE INJURY!”
smh
ADMIN – Hi Garrison,
At Class Action Rebates we choose the path of patience…
LOL! Thanks for the laugh. I was thinking the same thing after reading through some of these comments. How some of these people remember how to tie their shoes is beyond me. Also glad to see the admin has a sense of humor.
I HAVE TRIED TO FILE A CLAIM ONLINE BUT IT WANTS PROOF OF PURCHASE

I think so too.
Hi, I am trying to file a electronic claim but can’t. It says you don’t need receipt but without uploading document it won’t allow me to continue. How can I file a claim?
ADMIN – Hi Umaya,
Did you try asking for free product instead of monies?
What if I accidentally submitted a claim twice? I realized after the second one I had already submitted one.
ADMIN – Hi Allen,
You need to inform the class action admin otherwise they are likely to invalidate both claims.

ADMIN – Hi Courtney,
Thanks for sharing. If you are a member of the class and the deadline has not passed seriously consider filing a claim.
I have purchased Nature Made products. Thank you.
ADMIN – Hi Debra,
That makes you a class member! Consider filing a claim if the deadline has not passed.
ADMIN,
I just want to say that you do a great job answering the questions visitors have regardless of whether it is already clearly written on the claim description. Keep up the good work.
ADMIN – Hi Kevin,
Thank you for the encouragement. I hope you get a nice check soon.
I purchase these products.
ADMIN – Hi Ernest,
You have until November to file a claim. We encourage you to do so.
I have 3 off these products and I am wanting to file a claim ,where do I file?
ADMIN – Hi Mark,
Scroll up and find the link that reads: Click here to file a claim.
I submitted a claim months ago. It doesn’t take this long for a refund.
ADMIN – Hello Lynda,
This is not a refund. It is a settlement. Settlements need to be finalized by a judge before payments are released. Judges don’t finalize settlements after the deadline to submit claims. The deadline in this case is in November.
Waiting after months for my refund.
ADMIN – Hi Lynda,
This is not a refund. It is a settlement. Most settlements are not paid until the class action deadline has passed and all appeals have been resolved. The deadline for this case is not until November of this year.
Waiting for refund
ADMIN – Hi Janice,
Settlement checks are generally issued after the deadline has passed and all appeals have been resolved.
I purchases couples those products didn’t work.
ADMIN – Hi Deloris,
It appears you are a class member.
I have been purchasing Nature made products for a few years now. I didn’t know it contained those ingredients and I read the hole bottle.
ADMIN – Hi Kaila,
What ingredients? This settlement has to do with the efficacy of the product and not the ingredients.
i have purchased these products
ADMIN – Hi Karlene,
If you have purchased the products you need to file a claim before the deadline.
Bought Triple Flex Bone & Joint and Glucosamine 500 mg
Used Triple Flex Bone & Joint and Glucosamine 5 mg
I have relied on a multitude of these products from after my Gymnastics career topped with late stage Lyme Disease. I have spent countless dollars in hopes of relief and I am beyond disappointed. I feel like a goofball for giving my disability $$$ to their products!
ITS JANUARY WHEN WILL SETTLEMENT CHECKS GO OUT
ADMIN – Hi Debra,
The final hearing was in December, after the final hearing the judge allows time for appeals. If no appeals take place the class action administrator will move forward with check distribution.

ADMIN – Hi Darryl,
Have you checked with the class action administrator or with class counsel?

Reach out to the class action administrator.
I know checks have gone out to settle this claim; however, I did not receive one. I had my mail forwarded during the summer, does this affect the check?
ADMIN – Hi Meredith,
Yes. I would contact the class action administrator.
I submitted my claim form on time but still have not received a check. My mom got hers last month. I was just trying to check on the status or see if all of the checks had been mailed.
ADMIN Hi Kerra,
Reach out to the class action administrator ASAP
I received 2 bottles os supplements yesterday
LOL did the Attorneys get paid with bottles of useless pills too?
ADMIN – Hi Sue,
I think they selected the cash option.
Hi my husband filed a claim and never recieved his refund or supplements as part of the settlement. My mom said she also filed a claim and hasn’t received hers either as of today nothing. My husband used my moms address because we were moving they are two different households different last names so im not sure whats going on can you please look into this my husband is Nicholas deane and my mom is judy mehard. My husband and I always use my moms address as a mailing address when we are inbetween moving but neither of them have recieved anything. Thank you
ADMIN – Hi Kassandra,
Both submissions were probably disqualified due to duplicate addresses.
I filed a timely 100% legitimate claim and have received NOTHING. No check or what I preferred which was replacement products. WHAT A SCAM! I guess that’s what scammers are good at and they never quit. I am very unhappy and going to contact the attorney general’s office as well as the FTC!
ADMIN – Hi Chris,
Keep us updated as you escalate this issue.
I received a notice from the Post Office..they sent me something…COD WANT 7.15 TO PICKUP PACKAGE…THE SUIT SETTLEMENT WAS TO INCLUDE SHIPPING COSTS…NOT GOING TO GO GET IT
ADMIN – Hi Kitty,
