Sure, I'll send PM was at lunch in my car.. typo about the NAC, will edit post above to say *not NAC* which I do take separately when on a cycle.. Rest of my feedback from use is still valid about prior experience with it, it's effective but hella hard to choke down. Just sayin'.
Didn't realize SNS and CEL were one and the same so didn't see mention as competing, etc.. figured you would focus on SNS things I was wanting to buy less on my choice of the cycle assist?
However, appreciate the help, I realize you are being genuine about CEL assist effectiveness here and remember some of the other threads you noted on this in the past. Tabled will send PM.
A lot of standardized herbs are going to have a strong taste and smell to them. On the other hand, the basic herb powders may not have a strong taste or smell, but they also don't provide much, if any benefits.
I'm not debating feedback, I was speaking factually about standardized herbs versions herb powder - a lot of companies use consumers misunderstanding on that subject to trick people into thinking they are getting things that they are not. I try to help people make informed decisions when buying supplements and know things to look for and/or avoid so that they don't get taken advantage of by companies.
I'll give you an example, our Liver Assist XT product contains:
1,000 mg. NAC
600 mg. Milk Thistle (std. to 80% Silymarin)
250 mg. Turmeric/Curcumin (95% Curcuminoids)
100 mg. Artichoke (std. to contain 13% - 18% Caffeolquinoic acids)
If I were change out each of the 3 standardized extracts and use just herb powder, the product would literally cost me less than half of what it does to make - so that would be great for profits but it would be bad for you as a consumer because you would then get little to no benefit from the product.
So, I do understand why companies do that in order to improve their profits, but we don't do it because our emphasis is on providing absolute top quality products, and also as a person, I like to help people and most people here like that I try to educate people on subjects like this to help them learn what to look for and to avoid.
You can check my post history - and you'll see that I mention a lot - that when I post, my posts aren't normally directed at specific people, they are written in a way as to help the person I'm replying to but also anyone else that may be following a long or reading, whether it be now or in the future.
That's a big part of why people here seem to really like my posts is that I genuinely try to help people understand supplements and have respect and appreciation for their health.
You are perfectly entitled to buy whatever you want to, it's your money and your health. But when a product like that is posted about in one of my threads, it puts me in a position where if I don't explain the things to look out for to people that may be reading and following a long, it may lead others to buy it and get taken advantage of by companies that do things like that.
I don't like to ever speak negatively of other companies or products, but when it comes to threads about our products, when products like that are posted about, it puts me in a spot because I feel that its my job to help protect our consumers from misunderstandings and things like that.
I hope that makes sense.
On the subject of Amazon companies not meeting label claims, that has been huge industry news and there's a whole thread on TUDCA where that's been being discussed recently.
