Michael Abernathy–u need to chill. I never said I performed the lab assays, Dr. Eric Serrano did. I consult with Charles Staley and he told me the lab assays performed by Dr. Serrano showed 6 grams of carbs per serving. If you dont belive these two men, who happen to be 2 of the most respected names in the industry, then you are simply hard headed. I use Glutacene and have also gotten stronger but you cant rip someone apart without knowing how licorice root effects then personally. Maybe licorice root just happens to cause a high level of estrogen in some individuals. You are not a doctor and probably do not have any credentials so please do us all a favor and only post when you can be helpful.
