_glances at their formulation_
... well yeah no shit what the heck
My very quick summary is "it's the same as $300 headphones that are just $10 headphones with good marketing"
like, yeah, the effect is real. That doesn't mean the product is a good value :P
FWIW, the best commercial option I've seen so far is actually walmart's.
What started me on this was the realization that I'd had a box of em on me for a month and didn't touch them until I biked like fifteen miles and then compulsively downed 3 of em in a day
I've noticed for years that I get _intense_ cravings for sodium whenever I'm super active. Wellness manager at work recommended liquidIV, I tried it, I was surprised how well it worked but convinced myself it was a placebo until like three months of personal data convinced me I was wrong and it _had_ to be actually working.
