Dumb question? Leviathan Reloaded, Why Only 90 Tabs per Bottle

Just purchased Leviathan Reloaded. Just a dumb question for the reps.

Incidentally, I like your product just started a cycle with it, and the DCP stack. I am extremely caffeine sensitive, and the product does not effect me like any or all the other stims I have tried.

But why only 90 caps per bottle? (4 caps per day{normal dose} X 30 days = 120 caps). Wouldn't it be more economical, for your customers if it was packaged in counts of 120 caps vs. 90 caps?

That is the only issue I have with the product. Otherwise we will see how effective it is.

Had to buy another bottle just to finish the cycle. (I could say ahhhhh now I get it)

Unfortunately for our sake all supp companies do this. At the end of the day a business is a business and they all have one aim in mind and that is to make money so you cant really blame them. I just choose not to buy them anymore.

The RPN DCP product is bundled for 6 caps a day X 30 days = 180 caps. 1 Bottle = 180 tabs. I like their strategy, and will buy from them again.

Most if not all supplements are bottled for 1 month use, and this is not exclusive to Palo Alto Labs. Thanks for the support with Leviathan Reloaded ; it has a nice non stim effect for sensitive people.

Yup... if they gave you enough pills per bottle, you wouldn't have a reason to buy ANOTHER bottle to continue the cycle, huh?

Just the way it is... businesses are here to make money. You just have to decide what is acceptable and/or unacceptable and choose your products wisely.

Personally, I think the 90ct. is fine. I would take 4 pills per day M-F, and take Sat and Sun off. This gives you 4.5 weeks out of the 90ct. bottle.

Who says you need to cut for 30 days?

Honestly.. the main reason that there are only 90 caps in a bottle is cost. We could put 120 in the bottle... but it would cost you more NOW. So we are actually looking out for the customer, have we ever told anyone that they need to run Lev for 30 days? nope.

Business has to decide... will the average person pay for the increased cost of the product?

If anyone needs another 30 caps... let me know. I think PAL has been more than generous in the past...something that I hope to continue into the future.

Personally, I think 30 days is excessive with massive doses of stimulants. Your adrenal glands will thank you for finishing earlier. But to each their own.

If we were ONLY looking out for our bank account.. reset ad would be much more expensive. Our margins on reset ad flat out suck since its sold at $17... but we do it because we believe in the product.

I agree with you here. I ran a bottle of Levi Reloaded and I am perfectly happy with the 3 weeks or so that I got out of it. It gave me a full week to let myself settle in to not having any thermo or caffeine supps before starting my power cleanse.

By the way folks,

I was not trying to get the hair standing up on anyones back.

That is why I prefaced that I like the product so far ( we will see what the results are {hoping that they are as I expect with all the good reviews}). I just wanted to bring up the point that a lot of the other supps are packaged based on a 30 day supply.

Also do not want to get picky here but this is a quote under the facts section for Leviathan Reloaded (Palo Alto Labs website), which you may find interesting Dave, re: your comment " have we ever told anyone that they need to run Lev for 30 days? Nope.

Quote:
"Do Not take Leviathan Reloaded after 5pm to avoid sleeplessness. For optimal results you should maintain use of Leviathan Reloaded for at least eight weeks".

This statement is the advice that I was using to base the length of my cycle on the product in order to lose the 20lbs that I am aiming to cut. It made sense to me, figuring that I would lose 2-5 lbs a week.

I suppose we must take into consideration the definitions or implications of the words "need" and "optimal". lol

So do you expect them to get 2 months worth in a bottle? haha. If they say run for 8 weeks and people listen, then they just sold 3 bottles by only having about a 3 week supply in each one.

PAL doesn't run nearly as many ad's as some of the *4 page special report* companies. I think they give a quality product which is why they are spending their money on research and giving you 3 real weeks instead of a month and a half's worth of bottled placebo.

Not to mention that, looking at one of my MANY bottles of LR, and it says:

"Start off with only 2 caps on your first 3 days, then increase by 1 cap every 2 days until maximum dosage is reached."

This means 2 caps times 3 days = 6 caps
3 caps for days 4 and 5= 6 caps
4 caps/day for rest of the bottle = around 19.5 days...

so you would get around 24.5 days per bottle at recommended dosage.

Should update the FAQ if it does say 8 weeks if you're saying you shouldn't cycle for even 4 though, imho. (didn't look at the faw just going off what was posted in this thread)
