So I only truly saw the benefits of this supplement after I ran out of it. This product is sort of marketed to unnatural athletes who take steroids, in order to keep their cardiovascular and metabolism healthy. I consider myself a natural athlete, but I do take recreational drugs. One of those drugs has caused me to become a prediabetic. And when I first started taking this product, I could immediately feel the berberine. However it wasn't quite as good as my other actual berberine supplement which I've been taking for my prediabetes. I could feel that there was some other stuff in there, but I couldn't really say if it was helpful or not. Ellagic acid was one of the ingredients that's in BloodWork which peaked my interest because for those who have the correct or proper microbiome, those bacteria in your stomach can ferment the ellagic acid into Urolithin A which supposedly can cause mitophagy (aka the recycling of inefficient or "old" mitochondria). In theory, the idea is that hopefully, your body will contain only healthy mitochondria - the energy producing machines of cells since all your poor functiong mitochondria will have been recycled out. Hopefully then, supplementing with ellagic acid should have similar effects as NMN - the main ingredient in G02max. In practise though, I've read that only 50% of the population has the correct bacteria in their gut to ferment ellagic acid in Urolithin A. This scared me and so I started supplementing with another product that is rich in probiotics, just in case my own microbiome was lacking. I'm not sure if it worked or not, but it might've because I did manage to pull off 8.06 miles on the recumbent bicycle in 20 minutes at the gym. Averaging 24+ mph in 20 minutes was only something I could've ever pulled off while taking G02max, however at the time when I pulled off this particular feat, I had been out of G02max for about 5 days, however I still hadn't run out of Blood Work yet (fyi - though I was also taking Turk Builder+. That could've played a factor, despite it being a product that's marketed to those who lift weights). In anycase, as I said at the beginning, the benefits of this product only really hit me after I ran out of it, because I immediately gained 6 lbs and found that my prediabetic body could no longer stand taking 3 large 250-ml bottles of DXM dry cough syrup per week lol. Anyways, I'll buy this product again when I can afford it, but at the moment I'll have to just fall back on my usual berberine supplement and dial back some of my other recreational habits.
