Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Most people who buy supplements are aware of the rampant use of "Proprietary Blends" to mask inadequate doses and filler ingredients, generally to make consumers think they're getting more for their money. In my attempt to end up with a stim-free pre-workout containing effective doses of proven ingredients, this ended up in my cart. The obvious question here is at what ratio are the ingredients blended (L-Citrulline and Malic Acid). Pull up any of the other CM products and you will usually find the ratio, no problem. So, I emailed support and asked. This was the response I was given (after a generally unacceptable waiting period), "...The ratio that you are asking about is a part of the proprietary blend of the product, which is information that we are unable to distribute...." -Malic Acid is cheaper than L-Citrulline, so this product is probably pumped up with that to cut costs. -A 2:1 ratio is generally accepted to be the most effective. I can only imagine deviation from that is cost-related. -How can you properly dose your L-Citrulline if you don't know how much is in the product? The point is that this product is not clear in it's ingredient disclosure and I will be purchasing a different product (as should you) until this company revises its approach. There's no reason a bulk supplement like this should contain proprietary blends. Don't settle for mystery concoctions.
