Tex-OE (Opuntia ficus indica extract)

[ctAL]

I just picked some up, anybody on here use it? Ive read up on it an it seems like its worth a shot. MRI uses this in HSP Active but I obtained a much cheaper version to try this out.

wat is it

Its a pill that induces synthesis or elevates the body's heat shock protiens for protection against fatigue, exhaustion, hangovers....essentially any type of stress. It is essntially a pre-emptive strike against induced stress. Studies seem promising as well. I would certainly use it.

I've been searching on Tex-OE. It's supposedly trademarked and is created by a patented process which MRI claims to dominate (like they claim with every other product they have). However, I cannot find much information on Tex-OE. I'm still searching for the patent for the process they speak of. I've found that a company called "Perfect Equation" (also called "HPF" or "Hangover Prevention Formula") and another called "Source Naturals" uses Tex-OE in one or more of their products.

I contacted Source Naturals to find out more, but they won't give me any info that I ask for regarding where they get their Tex-OE or who owns it (of course). I did find Tex-OE on the Trademark Electronic Search System. Notice the trademark abandonment (defined as "Abandonment of trademark is understood to happen when a trademark is not used for three or more years, or when it is deliberately discontinued; trademark law protects only trademarks being actively used and defended."

I'm contemplating preparing a Freedom of Information Act request to send to HPF/Perfect Equation as well as MRI and Source Naturals to see if I can get any more information about Tex-OE.
