Lol, with all due respect mate, I have good literacy skills and I am aware of what he said, I believe the guy above you said something similar... I asked if he could elaborate, as I believe he is a consumer rather than a rep and wanted to hear further details of his experience(s) as it would appear to be unbiased view...
Edit: tongue in cheek above, txt doesn’t always show. But thanks for the review I’ll have a look as I believe said member isn’t a rep. Thanks for that
When I reply to a thread, I go to the post where the notifications takes me and then I reply post by post. Therefore, there may be times where I reply to someone with something that someone else may have said without knowing someone else in the thread already said it. That's my way of trying to reply to everyone and make sure I don't miss replying to anyone or their points.
I also, and I apologize if you didn't know this bc I frequently state it, my posts are 99% of the time not written to a specific person; they are written in a way to recap things so that if a person reading sees it they know the context of my reply. In this case, your question asked what someone saw out of it - I realize that you may have saw that - but a person that sees your post a year from now on a google search and clicks a link and goes directly to it may not realize the context - therefore, it makes it easy for them to read when I recap things and put posts in context. At least that's the intention.
Last point on this - I know you aren't from the US and I know you're in Europe but I don't know what country. So I had no way of knowing if English was your first language - and you can find a thread in the last year of me very adamantly defending someone on here that I knew was foreign and people were giving him a hard time about comprehension on some things - I knew English wasn't his first language. And in his case, what got people messing with him as that he missed some things in posts bc of the language barrier. So I never make the assumption that it is for any foreign members that don't live in the US.
It's in no way to take away from him answering you for himself. But a quick check on his activity shows he hadn't been on for over a week so I wanted to answer you since I saw it and he can still answer for himself when/if he sees it.
And correct, the link I provided you is to someone who isn't a rep and has ran products by many companies. That's why I provided it for you.
As far as the bias comment, I do my best on here to help everyone in every way that I can. I post in great detail a lot of times to help people with things and issues that have nothing to do with supplements. I also frequently recommend quite a few different brands if they are brands that I know the quality is correct on that can be trusted.
You can find a very public example of me publicly congratulating another brand owner on here in the last couple of weeks about how as a brand they have taken the proper steps to legitimize their brand in terms of quality control and compliance. Which doesn't really add up with your accusation of bias - publicly praising another brand owner who is a direct competitor.
If you don't trust my opinions or posts, I can stop replying to your posts. You ask some good and valid questions and a lot of times I try to reply to them - not to discourage anyone else from replying to them, but because my industry knowledge and insight is more than most so some of them I'm able to provide more details on.
As far as your rep comment - I guess you could call me a rep if you want. But actually, I work for the company itself and in addition to that, I help with the formulation, quality control, and raw material sourcing for over a dozen brands in different segments of the supplement industry and consult for many more (many of which are direct competitors); and have been doing so since 2004. My only bias is that I'm very openly an industry advocate for GMP compliance and proper quality controls within the industry.
I post here bc I'm a long time member and I enjoy helping people. And truthfully, I probably spend a lot more time here than I should because I should be putting a lot more time into social media and marketing; but I care about a lot of the members here as a community and AM itself and try to be a positive contributing member and post things that will keep people interested and coming back to the forum. Maybe it is time that I take a step back and stop posting as much and trying to help out as much on here.
