Hi Jake,I didn't mean to suggest something like all of the claims are definately false-just that products that do claim to cure just about everything often have a history of being overrated- and that mild skepticism and investigation might be a good idea before accepting all claims of a new miracle product as fact. Maybe some claims turn out to be 100% valid, while others a little exaggerated. Something like that. In any case, the research you mention definately sounds interesting and exciting.
Respectfully,
Laima
> Good point, I agree. But there are several studies out there that back up some of the claims. It's been described as an adaptagen, with similarities to ginseng and rhodiola.
