Metatone

[Patsy33]

Anyone taken Metatone tonic? I've been taking it for a good month now after feeling run down after having shingles, stomach bug and cold. Its definitely helped. I have so much more energy now! I would highly recommend it.

It must be the alcohol in it ;-)

(OK, I know that it's only got the same alcohol content as a white wine, and that you don't drink much of it, but it all counts!)

Yes, Patsy. I have endorsed Metatone on here previously. I think it's good stuff and it really helps.

hmm well even professors can be taken in by an attractive label !

It does make you feel much better though.

The words 'placebo effect' come to mind when I read this thread (and, indeed, this web page https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-45721670 )

Thanks Chris.

I get what you say but sometimes its about the ratio of one ingredient to another, rather than simply the list of components. This is especially pertinent in the case of Omega fatty acids (3, 6 & 9).

I mean yeah god - if you like taking it
all power to your elbow

Thanks for all your replies. Give it a go kval! You need to get it in your system for at least a week I'd say.
