People often ask the question, “How does drinking this supplement make you feel?” or “What health benefits have you noticed from taking it?”

Well… if you ate a piece of fruit, which is undeniably highly nutritious, and then we asked you what health benefits you felt from eating it, wouldn’t you think we were a little crazy?

If you took a Vitamin C pill and a Vitamin E pill daily, and we asked how it was affecting your health, would you be able to give a definitive objective answer?

If you were to say something like, “Well, last winter I had two colds and this year I haven’t had any,” could we specifically attribute that to the Vitamin C (or perhaps it might be because your mindset and beliefs have also changed, or because you’ve eaten healthier foods than last year)?

Can we ever say one thing consumed specifically affects us in a certain, undeniable way?

Treating our bodies well, and consuming supplements, vitamins and minerals that promote health and ongoing maintenance of our systems, doesn’t usually come with specific “feelings” or “noticing” what’s different… does it?

Heather has been taking prenatal vitamins for 6 months, and hasn’t noticed a difference in her health at all.  Doctors highly recommend prenatal vitamins to all pregnant women, and the brand she’s taking promises to be “the most comprehensive prenatal liquid supplement ever developed, scientifically designed to provide optimal nutritional support during pregnancy…. fast-acting and easily digested, [it's] fortified with all essential vitamins and 8 essential minerals, plus the vital energy of nature’s premier whole foods, including apple, broccoli, spinach, tomato, brown rice, apricot and banana - so every daily serving supplies natural energy and nutritional strength.”

Sounds great, doesn’t it?

But would we expect her to get a surge of energy after downing an ounce?

Maybe some people actually do feel that effect, because every body is different.  But for Heather, it’s just about the satisfaction that she’s supplying herself and the baby with the nutritional benefits they both need, whether she can actually feel or notice it working or not.

And if she wasn’t taking them… who knows how she would feel at this point, six months pregnant, or how healthy she and the baby would be?

It’s about preventive maintenance, and optimization, NOT corrective measures.

How can we ever validate what specifically we put in our bodies has what specific effect - since every day we consume any number of things?

So looking for results that others have subjectively “noticed” is probably not the best measuring stick to use.

Of course for any health-related supplement, food, beverage, botanical, vitamin or mineral, there are people who say it increased their energy, fixed up aches and pains, helped them sleep better, etc… but, in all honesty, how do we REALLY know it was from that one thing alone?

In a scientific study, we need to have a “control”… that means we need to compare something that never changes to whatever we have changed.

To really check the effects of one thing ingested, we would need someone to eat the exact same foods at the exact same times every day for a month (or however long our study is), and record measurable, objective things about their health (like heart rate, blood pressure, sleep patterns, etc.) rather than relying on them to describe subjectively how they feel.

Then they would have to eat the exact same things at the exact same times for another month, but this time add the supplement, vitamin, mineral, etc. that we wanted to test, and record the same measurable, objective things to see if there was a change.

Obviously not too many people would do this… so it’s next to impossible to get a scientific study of what kind of impact one thing is going to have on our health.

You can say, “Well, I didn’t change anything about my diet except taking this thing.”  But really, how do you know that picking up a different type of egg, or a different brand of cereal or orange juice, or some steaks that were on sale, didn’t have an effect on you, too?

Now, obviously, people that are in good health and good shape to begin with probably never notice results as dramatic as those who are “broken” or “sick”, even in our hypothetical highly-controlled experiment.

So the best guinea pigs are going to be those that have a specific complaint, and want to see if one change will affect that one issue.

Does that mean the rest of us should stay away from nutritionally beneficial products, just because we won’t “notice” or “feel” results in the same way?

Absolutely not!

If you feel results from taking something, great!  If not, you’re probably giving yourself a great maintenance (rather than necessarily corrective) formulation anyhow that, over time, likely brings better health (whether specifically noticeable or not).

A product like Zrii does have the potential to make people feel healthier with noticeable results.  We know people who claim that their long-standing aches and pains have disappeared since drinking Zrii, or that they sleep much better now.

Also, their FAQ page says:

“One may notice that drinking Zrii before food allows them to feel the unique effects of the botanicals more quickly. This is because the drink enters the bloodstream more rapidly when consumed on an empty stomach.

When consuming Zrii with food, the active components will be digested along with it, driving them deeper into the tissues through the digestive process. In either scenario, the body will receive the nutritional benefits of the active ingredients. For individuals experiencing more deeply rooted or longstanding imbalances of the body, taking Zrii with food may assist the delivery process more effectively.”

So yes, some people may actually feel effects from drinking it.  Others may not, but “the body will receive the nutritional benefits of the active ingredients” anyhow.

Does it really matter either way?
