Hey everyone, it's been a while since I have made a post in this sub. However, I saw a new research study today that I wanted to bring up. It highlights why my main mission over the past 10 years has been to not only advance the lab testing and quality control standards of the industry, but also to educate consumers on what to look out for, and how things work in the background. We are all ingesting these products! We are putting them into our bodies, so it's crucial that companies selling them do everything necessary to ensure they are what they claim to be, and are pure and free from contaminants. That is unfortunately the vast exception to the rule. Many of you may remember my post about turkesterone results from last year.
That whole situation blew way up, and every jabroni on YouTube was making videos about it. Some were saying I was a liar and fraud, and just trying to sell products. Some were saying I was in for massive lawsuits. Most were just doing it to get their 5 m…
What they were answering

So doing some theory crafting here. If most things aren't what they are but seem to bring about the ridiculous results that are thrown around here, we could go so far as saying it doesn't matter cos placebo is a more powerful player than most of the stuff people take

Well look at the results. The methylliberine ones mostly contain the active they claim, other than the three that don't contain it at all. They just don't meet label claims. The turkesterone and octopamine ones are the really bad ones. Plus, you can see some of the other ones that contain undisclosed adulterants. If there is hidden DMAA in there, you are going to feel effects. Also, you can't discount shilling, affiliates, or compensated reviews. That's rampant in the market, too. Sure, placebo is part of it, but it's more complex than yelling "placebo!" at every experience report.
