when at a sprint tri a few weeks back and there were a few tents promoting their products, as they do.
I had been considering my nutrition for a while so I decided to have a look, one of the tents was Herbal Life where they had a various products on show. They kindly took my BMI which was 14 and then mentioned about a supplement which was carb and protein loaded.
At this point I'm considering th options but then they made some extraordinary claims. I was carrying asthma inhaler and they told me they could help with my asthma. Those who know me on this forum will know I would love help with it. They mentioned about going to a chiropractitioner (which they had one on the books) and that it would help....as this point I'm losing faith now.
However, I thought I would share this story to see if
a) Can anyone shed light on this
b) Has anyone used their products and if so were they any good?

Just be aware that to gain a license for a drug companies have to do studies which often include many thousands of patients and have adjudicated endpoints - to my knowledge there are no big GCP standard studies from any "supplement" company that show this quality of data - the exception to this is nutrition products (e.g. SIS and High5 amongst others who do actually have some good quality data around their products)
