Prob too late, but what the hell, right? I can try and help people.
Taste, as others have mentioned here, is a horrible indicator. Different pharmacies have different formulas, different fillers, etc. Keep in mind that everyone's body is different and EVERYONE reacts different ways to different products. Here are a few things you can try before you question sources (knowing that sure, you have no idea of anything you buy on the black market is legit):
- You mentioned the nose side effect when you took Cialis previously.
- Did that happen every single time you took the Cialis?
- Did you always take the same dose?
- Did you always take the same product from the same supplier?
- Were you taking the same supplements of every type at that time and this time?
- Are you in the same environment (in other words, could there have been different allergens in the previous environment)?
- Have you tried different doses with the new supplier? Perhaps the dosage is different (greater or lesser) from the previous supplier?
- Have you tried a third supplier?
The nose issues could be allergies related to the fillers used in the pill! In that case, NOT having the issue would actually be a great thing, right?
There are tons of issues that can be at play here. Keep that in mind any time you change anything related to your diet, supplements, and environment. My biggest suggestion is to try a few different things before you try to blame one. Your body is very complex and changes continuously. The only way to try and really nail down one item for issues is to really find a way to duplicate and isolate the issue and the supplement. And that's really, really hard to do. In general, from what I've seen, read, and experienced, if you order from a sponsor here, you're going to get something that's legit. The dosage might not be perfect (and many times might be higher than listed), but I really don't see any fake stuff from sponsors here at all. I'm not saying I've ordered from everyone personally and tested everything, but I have ordered from more than a few and from everything I've been able to test (mainly via personal blood tests), it's all great stuff.
P.S. Nothing against other sponsors at all, but I'll second the SB labs high octane, that's just a cool mix that I personally like.
