Interesting that an earlier post of mine referenced the food and food combining in certain indigenous cultures as showing increased benefit... like there is more benefit in the "mix" than in each individual component. In this case, you could take one thing out of the mix like the CH and what have you?
People who have taken the drink, with and without it have noticed a difference... does this mean the CH has a positive affect on the whole, where it may not have an affect by itself OR if one of the other ingredients is missing?
