First of all, let me say that what I am about to say is not intended to reflect a belief that ALRI are any worse than any other supplement company. I have used their products because I find them one of the more convincing companies around, but there are still many aspects that cause me concern, it's all relative.
Why is the composition of a product being changed? If this happens, it should be called Jungle Warfare II or something to make it clear it's a new recipe. If this isn't done, then people aren't going to realise that all the logs published with a different recipe are not valid for the product that is currently being sold.
The ALRI write up for JW suggests that the AI it contains is intended to be LESS effective than ATD, to modulate rather than obliterate estrogen levels. This is consistent with PA's theory on the nature of the substance, but it would have been nice if ALRI had simply come clean about what exactly the substance is and why it will achieve the desired physiological effect.
Here is an example of the type of study I would like to see more of:

A safety and effectiveness study for cordyceps. Didn't find it did anything positive, but also found no safety concerns. Wouldn't it be nice to have a study like this presented with the launch of every new supplement?
To Patrick's credit, there is some good information along these lines ....
If I had one criticism to make of the data shown there, it is that I would like to see it continue longer, to see if levels stabilise at the pre-supplementation levels, or if they continue the downward trend that the graph suggests from weeks 8 to 11.
Patrick, thank you for your analysis of this ingredient of Jungle Warfare. I don't know how much of your time it takes up to do such analysis, but I would personally welcome a similar analysis of the other ingredients in JW as well as BAM and Pro Anabol. I get the impression that these ALRI products are immensely popular, and I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one who would be very interested to hear your thoughts about them. We badly need more objective input like yours, and I do believe it is objective, when you see a spade you can't help but call it a spade, and there is nothing wrong with that.
