Unfortunately, yes. Not only attack based on them but further the misconceptions to promote sales of their own products.
There is one company that I can just about guarantee that their sales pitch against the product is going to be - google it, you'll see that it decreases testosterone - and they'll leave out the point that that was in women; and as you correctly and brilliantly said, Clomid does the same.
But that's the thing (and was my worry), they won't say it works like Clomid. They'll just say it decreases testosterone and then conveniently leave out the part that that's in women, not men. And then many customers that believe them or read it at a glance will believe it without doing their own research. I do agree that in theory, if the person reads through and researches it on their own, it does show negatively on a company that would use that as an attack point - but so many people just read something and believe it without doing their own research. It's unfortunate that its like that and its unfortunate that companies are like that.
I do agree that the knowledgeable people and the people more into this lifestyle should be very excited that it has the potential to work like Clomid. I'm super excited about that aspect myself.
In the past, this is an area where I've really let get to me because I am such a nice person. I don't like to argue and I hate drama. And some companies in particular have used that against me to attack products. Hell, I'll admit there have been ideas I wanted to do that I didn't even do because I didn't want to spend the time getting nit picked and arguing over it. I was just talking to someone about this a few moments ago - I'm working on finding that line where I continue to be myself in the sense of being nice but start standing up for myself more. In the past, I've hesitated to ever say anything negative about other companies because I didn't want to be that person; even when they were attacking me. I'm at the point now where as long as companies leave me alone, I'll never say a bad word about them. But if companies with basically zero quality controls that don't follow any GMP guidelines and processes wants to nit pick or attack me or our products, I'd encourage them to really reconsider and think it through bc I'm just going to say screw it and write a detailed PBP explaining just how full of it they are on a lot of different levels. (Here's the mandatory - this post isn't related to any specific company, but if the shoe fits...... )
