CMI Nutrition

CMI Nutrition Web Presence

It's typical for nutritional supplement makers to have a heavy web presence as their main stream of marketing. In fact, the most reputable among them maintain sites loaded with valuable information about their products and nutritional supplements in general. Many even contain copies of scientific studies which back up their claims. Unfortunately, such is not the case with CMI.

At one time the company had a web site at the address www.cminutrition.com, but the domain name has since expired and is now for sale. Furthermore, a search for a company website hosted as a sub-domain of another site turned up empty. Lastly, a search among various business profiling sites turns up no results about CMI company history, location, board members, etc.

CMI Nutrition Supplements

The CMI supplements still available on a limited basis include Fire Caps, a weight-loss product geared to those whose goals specifically include a regular workout routine. There are also the BIG and 24/7 supplements aimed at helping bodybuilders increase size and gain the maximum amount of benefit from their workouts. All three supplements are very similar to many competing brands.

Some of the ingredients in CMI products are a matter of concern from a safety standpoint. Similar to the well publicized issues of the previously mentioned ephedra supplements, CMI's Fire Caps contains Synephrine, a substance once believed to be a safe alternative to Ephedrine. Yet some studies suggest Synephrine significantly increases the risk of stroke. Creatine is another ingredient that is the subject of some debate.

One the positive side, CMI supplements are reasonably priced as compared to similar products from their competitors. Each Fire Caps bottle contains 120 capsules which, if taken according to the instructions, should last about a month. It doesn't appear that CMI offers free samples or any kind of money back guarantee. There also appears to be no way to purchase products directly from the company.

CMI Nutrition Concerns

Beyond the obvious lack of information about CMI Nutrition, and the use of some questionable ingredients, there are some other concerns to be considered. Among them is a company description found on the website of one particular supplement retailer. Keeping in mind that such descriptions are generally provided by the supplement maker themselves, this particular entry raises a red flag.

The text is rife with vocabulary and grammar errors, suggesting the writer is not a native English speaker. But more alarmingly, the text is incoherent and void of any real information. This reviewer had no idea what the text was saying, even after several readings.

Likewise, the product description for BIG found on that same website is equally incoherent. In fact, it almost sounds as though the writer is suggesting that BIG is a bad product that shouldn't be purchased. It appears that whoever is writing copy for CMI either doesn't know English very well, or doesn't think too highly of the company.

CMI Nutrition Final Assessment

Consumers should always be careful when buying and taking nutritional supplements, because manufacturers are not held to the same high standards that makers of pharmaceuticals are. They also don't typically have to funds to conduct research studies as well funded pharmaceutical companies. With this in mind, there are enough red flags surrounding CMI Nutrition to warrant using caution.

In fairness to the company, there are a few positive reviews found online by what appear to be satisfied customers. Many of these reviews claim satisfaction after using one of CMI's supplements for a matter of months. It must be noted however, that the latest of these reviews seems to be from early 2010. Many of them are dated even earlier. To find and compare CMI and other products, use the free supplement finder now!
