I'm almost where I want to be so I bought another bottle. The thing that I got is pills not capsules and the formulation is different. They're both based on calcium plus magnesium. I think the magnesium makes the calcium available. It's supposed to affect metabolism, and if so, it worked on me so well because my metabolism slowed down ridiculously low. I think lower than normal. And that would explain its poor reviewers saying it had no effect on them. Nothing. Apparently their metabolisms are already high.
I don't know. All that I know is that it worked on me.
I also tried MyoHealth essential amino acid supplement. I like it a lot. It has a noticeable effect on my energy. But it's 3x as expensive as it needs to be. So I'm looking for something more reasonably priced.
I haven't found a replacement for this yet. I'm still reading, narrowing it down.
I also tried 8greens and I like that a lot too. Vitamins and minerals directly from plants. These are the effervescent tablets. It too is overpriced. We're paying for marketing. It's great, and I'd like to continue so I found an alternative that's much less expensive. We'll see how it tastes. I bought a lot of it so it better taste good.
And if it doesn't I'll add sugar.
Or maybe turn it into a fruit smoothie.
Here's the thing that I noticed on Amazon: the reviewers of these products are in their own worlds. Most are working out fairly heavily and buy these things to overcome soreness. The photographs they show are not helpful at all. They just show the jar with other jars of similar products, or they show their hand holding the jar. There is no point to posting them. Others have an engaging childlike sense of humor like my youngest brother.
This stuff is my crack. I'm the least athletic person in the whole world so I can't comment on its effectiveness in the muscle recovery department, or whatever it's supposed to do, but the fruit punch version tastes like Hawaiian Punch trickled down to earth from the dewy pastures of heaven. And the watermelon one tastes like an actual real-life Jolly Rancher, like a fat happy farmer, grew the most beautiful watermelon in the cosmos and gave it all to you with a fruity kiss.Ha ha ha.
I use it to help me get more water on a daily basis, because drinking plain water is like drinking homework.
Unrelated to my search, a product of interest is one of a line plant-based products. Another product in the line is detox for the liver. It has a lot of reviews and although I'm not interested in anything liver-related I wondered why so many people regarded the product so highly.
I'm as skeptical as it comes regarding "all natural miracle supplements", but this stuff has been fantastic in fending off post-drinking fogginess and/or hangover symptoms. I take 1 every morning, then 1 extra any evening where I enjoy an adult beverage (or 3).A lot of people mentioned drinking.
Others mentioned their skin cleared.
Other people said it got rid of dark circles under their eyes.
One guy said he's totally health conscious during the week, exercise, good diet and sleep, the whole bit, but on weekends he really cuts loose, parties, drinks all weekend, doesn't sleep like he should, dances all weekend, eats whatever he wants in amounts that are unreasonable and careless, then drinks even more. He swears by these liver pills helping him clean up his act for Monday and start the whole cycle over again.
I related to that.
Then you go, what the heck, start my weekends on Thursdays.
The products are formulated around a main plant, usually with smaller amounts of other plants that have similar effects. Like hippies made them. This one is based on milk thistle seed. And the purchasers know that.
So why not just buy milk thistle seed?
