I am one of those that really likes the product but as I say about every supp, drug, food etc, everyone responds differently
Completely agree...and as you know, I've said it many times myself...and I have NEVER responded to anyone like this, even if the review wasn't good (there have been a few). What pissed me off is that his comments (he made two very similar comments) implied that it was under-dosed.
In one post (the one above) he actually said
"I know and have taken all of the ingredients and the effect was not the same". What is he saying here? To me it sounds exactly like he is saying that he has used all of these ingredients at the same dosages, and at the same time....and that my product did not provide the same effect. First of all, in order for someone to make that sort of comparison they would have had to use this exact same formula, but he never did, so how can he say
"the effect was not the same" if he never actually tried it until now? He can't...unless he is dumb and thinks you can use 6 different things at 6 different times, in 6 different dosages and achieve the same effect. Obviously, that is NOT what he was implying. His implication was clear.
In a previous comment he said my product's ingredient profile did not match up with the effects he had experienced when using these compounds previously. Once again, it sounds very much like he is saying that has tried this exact combination in the same or at least similar dosages. Otherwise, why even make the comparison? There would be no reason to do because he wouldn't be comparing the same thing.
But notice how he changes his wording in his defense response above. Now he claims that he said "the effects are not what I would expect knowing the ingredient profile". Look carefully...because that does not have the same meaning/implication as his previous two comments. Subtle changes in wording can make a BIG difference in how a comment is perceived by others and completely change it meaning. His latest comment comment implies that he is simply guessing how Vicaine should work based on "knowing the ingredient profile", which is very different than saying the effects did not match up with his previous experiences ...or that he has taken all of these ingredients before and the effect was not the same.
I think it is clear what he is getting at in his first two comments and THAT is why it pissed me off. There have been a LOT of people that have a ton of experience with these compounds and NO ONE has ever said anything like this.
He also said that my product was overpriced--he said it was only a $45 product. I let that one go for days, but after his last comment I decided to address it. As you can see by reading my previous response to him, he is VERY wrong. I didn't like that he made a comment like that when he clearly has ZERO clue about what goes in in the supplement industry, what my product costs to make in comparison to other products, or what my profit margin is. I was basically forced to lay out the details of my operation just to prove him wrong and undo the potential damage. You see, when a company is selling their product for $59.99 with a discount and then someone comes along and says that it is only worth $45, they are basically saying that the company is either ripping people off...or that people can buy the same thing elsewhere for less money (neither of which is true).
The truth is that my product has one of the lowest profit margins in the industry (probably the bottom 5%), so to see someone make that comment with such an authoritative tone, when they really have no clue what they are talking about...well, it irked me, especially in light of his other two comments..
