Don’t rip people because they do not buy supplements only from Biotest.
If he had said he buys other brands because they work well for him, I wouldn’t have given it a second thought. Please notice that I “ripped” him (and “rip” is a pretty strong word to describe my comment) because he claims that he purchases inferior products.
If he truly believes that a product is superior, I would think it would be worth applying funds–especially limited funds–to the “best bang for the buck” by buying the superior product.
I remember trying to tell a friend once that I would rather purchase 2 cheap pairs of sneakers from Payless than spend the same money on a decent pair from some other brand, even assuming mine would break down and wear out sooner than the decent pair.
Even assuming each cheap pair cost half the price of the better pair and total outlay of cash would be the same, my “rationale” was that quantity was somehow smarter than quality. That was then.
Is the OP happy if he does a half-assed workout instead of maximizing his time in the gym? I’m not. I don’t purchase important products like cars or computers or a college education or appliances or clothes based on the cheapest brand I can find. Why would I not apply that same logic to what I put into my body?
Let me also state clearly that I do NOT consider the OP (or anyone who agrees with him) an ignoramus. I’m not trying to insult anyone. I’m not saying that I am somehow superior because of my choices. I’m not trying to suck up to Biotest. (They don’t need me to champion them on their own site.) I’m just saying, in response to the OP and others, that I have developed different priorities when it comes to purchasing supplements when I have a clear opinion about their quality.
…and no, I’m not “wealthy.” I plan carefully to be able to hit the $150 mark and get free shipping. I don’t often exceed $150, and I never am able to get and try everything I want. For economic reasons especially I want to stick with the most I can afford of the best I can get.
