Quick question about PA, in general, is there a point of diminishing returns with higher dosages? I am only asking because I was going to order Mikes new EAA products, and I am already using SNS PA products. Wondering if it would be a waste to order the
'build" version which contains PA, i.e. taking to much is just wasting it?
Phosphatidic Acid needs to be taken daily for best results.
Some people like to front load on it and take double the dosage of Phosphatidic Acid XT for the first two weeks to a month and feel that that helps them get results faster and get it built up in their system but after that most people drop back to normal dosing.
I don't think that taking any additional PA from anything else is going to hurt anything but I also don't think its necessarily going to help anything either, especially if it's not something that is being used on a daily basis.
Humm - I'm trying to think of a polite and tactful way to be able to answer your question while still being respectful of Mike. So, instead of me replying based on anything about his, let me reply based on how I've answered people in the past that have asked me if we were going to use PA in an EAA product.
I've had people ask me if we were going to or would use PA in an EAA product long before he did his product bc there was another EAA that had it in there, and my answer was always - no, it didn't make sense to do that because the clinical studies on Mediator Phosphatidic Acid were done on daily use and most people don't use EAA's daily, they only use them on training days; and also, according to the patent holder, Mediator should be taken at one to two doses per day and that sipping on it over a prolonged period isn't an ideal way of using it - and most people that use EAA's don't chug them, they will drink some prior to training and sip on them during training.
I don't think that using an EAA with Phosphatidic Acid in it is going to hurt anything, but I don't know that it would help anything either and especially not to justify the cost increase of it being included in an EAA.
We have EAA's upcoming under both SNS and CEL later this year. The one under SNS is going to be a more basic type EAA with a few cool additions to it and the CEL one is going to be a super comprehensive formula that is unlike anything else that's been on the market and has been in the planning stages for some time.
So probably the best answer to your question is to tell you that for a time, there was consideration of using Phosphatidic Acid in the upcoming CEL EAA one and after discussions with the company that has the patent on Mediator we decided against it because even they didn't think it was necessarily a good idea and preferred that if we did a product that had Mediator in it under CEL, that we used it in one that was for daily use. So in context, when the company that would be making money off of it encourages us to go a different direction with it and use it in a different product rather than an EAA, that was a pretty definitive answer for me.
Sorry for kind of dancing around my answer there - trying to answer your question honestly but be respectful at the same time.
