Has anyone else noticed these practices by supp companies...
I’ve always liked Man Sports products so when they came out with Brain Bridge, I quickly purchased two tubs based on its ingredients profile.
In their first run, Man Sports advertised using trademarked AlphaSize (Alpha-Glyceryl Phosphoryl Choline). After using two tubs and loving it, I decided to purchase two more tubs. When I received my second two tubs I noticed a different batch/lot number on the bottles as well as a very different consistency powder inside.
I wondered why the power had a different consistency so I looked at the facts panel of the second batch only to notice they switched to regular Alpha-GPC (a generic brand I’m assuming)
Does anyone else think this is shady business/marketing practice? I love MAN Sports and their products but I hate that they did this. It doesn’t sit well with me as it makes me lose respect for the company. They clearly make a big deal to market its initial run with trademarked Alphasize Alpha-GPC only to switch to a generic Alpha-GPC once they’re done marketing their first run with the better quality ingredient.
ANS Performance did the same with their preworkout Ritual a few years back. They advertised patented ingredients in their initial run and then switched to regular generic ingredients a few runs later.
I’m a person that prefers to pay a little extra when I know I’m getting better quality trademarked/patented ingredients in a product. When a company tries to pull a quick one like that on its customers, it has me seriously contemplating their ethics.
