As you can see from my response, I wasn't particularly pleased with what I saw. You can probably tell that I am a fan of science and research, so when I saw a list of references for all of their products, I was impressed. However, that was where it ended. The list of references they have listed for each product has little or nothing to do with the products or their claims. It looks like someone did a key word search for a particular ingredient such as 'Creatine' and the just listed whatever they found. In the case of their buffered creatine, which as far as I can tell is simply the addition of Magnesium to creatine monohydrate, they make some interesting claims:
The interesting thing about this one was that they had research about creatine, but I didn't not see any on Magnesium Moreover, they had no research about the combination of Magnesium to creatine and its effects on strength, muscle fiber size, endurance, gains is muscle mass or performance period. When I read this for the first time, two things happened.
I understand that they didn't come right out and say this, but this is the impression you get. By leading someone to believe or allowing someone to believe something that is not necessarily true, is slander, which in the right context can be illegal. I'm sure we all understand how marketing functions to promote a product to entice a customer to purchase it.
However, there has got to be a line drawn in the sand. Qproducts would have us believe that their products are in some way different and better than all other products out there today. However, their products are average at best. They have nothing new, and nothing different. Now I would like to give you a look inside the research so you can see how well the claim attached to 'Buffered Creatine' Hold up.
