Beline Capsules (Page 3) (Top voted first)

I have ankylosing spondylitis and have been taking Beline capsules for nine months with remarkable results. I am largely pain free with an all round feel good benefit. Even a very long standing skin rash has disappeared. When I stop taking them the pain returns quite noticeably. Nonetheless I have strong reservations about herbal medications and intend to consult with my Rheumatologist shortly. Pity!!!

I'd like to see better evidence here - both for and against the various claims. Can you guys cite references? I have read both the MHRA and Danish articles which state certain questionable ingredients, but I'm also reading positive reviews of this product. I'd like to see any other information stating that the MHRA has closed their previous case against the product because I can't find that info on their web site. Just wanting to be safe, and would hate to miss out on a good product ... but both sides need to provide better proof for me. Anyone?

I am glad I wrote to them because now they have to provide evidence. Think I opened a can of worms. I am disappointed because I have stopped taking them and my pain has returned. I am going to ask for a batch number because as someone says "where is it on the box" I did have the most violent cramps in my feet and legs and it continued all night. Since stopping the capsules have not had these cramps. What ingredient could cause this. Any thoughts??

I haven't seen anything that says MHRA have closed their case. It's now a legal requirement from the end of April that herbals must be registered if sold in the UK. Beline don't have a registration number so therefore unlicenced and illegal as far as I am aware. So close collaboration with MHRA sounds rubbish. I've sent a note to MHRA to confirm

I had the exact same reply as Morris, word for word. I also asked for some evidence and got nothing

Maybe they are just Sellers and have no idea of what is in the capsules only what they have been told. it is exactly like cosmetic sales people they give out the blurb they are told to. If we keep this going maybe we will get to the truth.

Graham will not get a response from a doctor as they do not commit and do not know anything about herbs. I asked the same thing of my Doctor and had no comment. It must be tested by an independent and impartial body. I do not know this network. Maybe someone else does

I contaced beline off-line as they requested and asked to see the emails they said would prove that the mhra case is closed, they replied to me that they would not be forwarding confidential mails and the comment that they made was an error. I then asked for a contact name at MHRA that I could follow up with... no reply...so no evidence from beline

May - is this the warning you are referring to?

Warning over unlicensed herbal arthritis remedy

Calixir Labs appears to be the manufacturer of this product.

Ok, so I am trying to understand this - the belinecapsules web site which sells the product - are they the manufacturer, or just a distributor? If they only distribute Beline then why would they need to do testings with the MHRA? I thought only manufacturers have to undergo product testing. Guess I am not that familiar with rules in the UK. Is it still okay for me to order to the USA?

Hi Roy, that's the article. From what I can tell Focus hr have exclusive eu distribution rights from calixer labs in singapore. According to eu/mhra law Focus HR is accountable for ensuring the product is safe and registered so in the event of a investigation/prosecution it will be focus hr who the authorities will be dealing with

Hi everyone,

It has been over a month since we had locked this discussion thread. To make a long story short, the company that distributes Beline Capsules from belinecapsules.com contacted us on the 20th of June [2011] and stated that their lawyer found a number of statements on here to be libelous. We decided that it would be best to take down portions of content and lock this forum until a proper review could be conducted. Even though that decision completely went against our policy of free speech in this community, there are situations where we need to be sure that the rights of others are not being violated, and that is why a number of posts were cleaned up and/or taken down.

On the 27th of June [2011], we placed two calls into the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) office in London and spoke with two separate individuals about the status of Beline Capsules. Both of them stated that the most current information concerning this product is available on their web site (and as of writing this post the only content which appears about Beline Capsules on the MHRA web site is the original product warning [A]). They also stated that Beline Capsules are "not licensed at all" in the UK, and that "people should be very careful when taking this".

The MHRA also responded to us via email, in which they stated "The MHRA has been investigating this issue and can confirm there is a quality issue with undeclared pharmaceuticals being identified in some samples in some countries ... Focus HR have agreed to remove Beline from the UK market, though they will still export. Exports are out with the jurisdiction of the MHRA and Focus HR will need to ensure they are complying with the regulations of the import countries. As Focus HR only sold Beline online, the website is being adapted to prevent sale or supply in the UK in the future, a deadline of the end August has been agreed between the MHRA and Focus HR to complete this work. Therefore, after this deadline date you will not be able to purchase Beline in the UK."

We are now re-opening this discussion thread for comments.

1. Please feel free to share your personal experiences with this product. Please refrain from insults, accusations, or attacks, and stick with FACTS.

2. Any references to other sources of information or repetition of information from other sources should be properly quoted and referenced. For example, instead of saying "I've heard that product X contains Y", you should provide a credible reference and quote text exactly as it appears on the other source. If we cannot verify the credibility of a statement or source then we shall have the right to exclude it from our site.

We hope that all of the above makes sense. We recommend that you conduct your own research and come to appropriate conclusions on your own about any products as well as your health!

I am really concerned and very unhappy about not being able to purchase any more Beline capsules. My husband has had almost 3 years without being able to do anything due to wrongly given statins and having an extremly bad effect. He ended up having to take chemo drugs to cope with the infamatory arthritis which resulted. These drugs and others mixed in had massive side effects. We eventually stopped everything and started Beline - they saved his life!
He is now active again and beginning to enjoy life after only 4 months of Beline. Please do not stop these. Prescribed drugs which have been 'tested and passed' had very bad effects Beline effects are only positive.

Hi, my mother took Beline for 6 months and had great results. But after seeing the Danish warning she stopped, and now 4 days later is experiencing severe withdrawal effects. Bad headaches, low energy, swollen ankles, and her pain returning. I'm trying to get her to see her doctor now.
