You must be posting this for others to read cause I know you wouldn’t think Im so uninformed on supplements to require such an explanation. It’s a little insulting.
I'm sorry if you found it insulting.
I post on here all the time that my posts are almost always written in a way of explaining things to people that may be reading and following along and not posting &/or reading threads months or years down the road.
Many people that read AM regularly never have a single post here and we all have to start somewhere with our knowledge of ingredients, supplements, etc. And in today's market, more than ever, there are many marketing based brands that include ingredients in supplements at less than the efficacious dosages &/or include ingredients in pre-workouts and tout the benefits of those ingredients, when really the studies on those ingredients were done on daily use, and often at much higher dosing than is included in the particular products.
I like to help people and I try to explain things very thoroughly most of the time. It's never meant to be insulting; to me, insulting people is not taking the time to help them and making the assumption that everyone knows as much about supplements as I do, which wouldn't be a fair assumption being that I truly enjoy researching and learning about them and its my job; whereas other people may love them, but have to focus most of their time on their own lives, jobs, etc.
In this case, you said you were trying to choose between two things - so I was simply trying to make sure that you knew the studies on PEAK02 were at 2 to 4 grams per day and on daily use. I don't take for granted that everyone knows things like that - because many, many brands that use PEAK02 in pre-workouts present it as being beneficial when it really isn't; so it would be easy for anyone to make the assumption that it would be because that's what they're led to believe.
Again, I'm sorry if you found it insulting. But no one, not even me, knows everything about every ingredient - for example, I learned something new about an ingredient earlier today from someone that sent me a study that I've never seen before on injury healing and I thought it was super cool. It has to do with improving injury healing in damaged tissue and its a 10 year old study on an ingredient I have researched before and I never knew that. I didn't find it insulting that they sent it to me - they did so with good intentions because they know I'm dealing with a lot of tissue damage and repair issues from my leg being shattered and coming out thru my calf muscle. It never once made me think that they were trying to downplay my knowledge on supplements or come off like they knew more than me - I genuinely like to learn and genuinely appreciated them sending it to me and it led to me already reaching out to the patent holder to see if I could get a sample of it to try for myself at a high dosing, as there honestly isn't a brand that offers that particular ingredient at a reasonable price that I trust.
I hope that makes sense.
I try to help everyone here in any way that I can - but I always try to keep in mind that there are many, many people that read here looking for knowledge that never post.
