This snippet from that thread is particularly enlightening if true.
When I told him months ago that his product was incredibly stupid and he didn't have enough stuff in there to be a healthy alternative to eating, he pretty much ignored me.
A couple of weeks later, he found out the underlying cause of his arrhythmia was iron deficiency (in addition to hypermagnesia and hyperkalemia), he decided to put iron in it. This was of course after I had already told him to do it, and he ignored my advice.
I also told him his weight loss was likely a large degree of lean mass when he was only taking 50g/day of protein because that's what the RDA was. He essentially ignored me, continued to shed lean mass while exercising and not getting enough calories. But a little while later he added more protein in.
The lack of boron was also something I told him about, and then he added it (fairly quickly, actually).
I also mentioned lack of semi-essential/conditionally essential nutrients (GLA). The formulation still doesn't have Carnitine or Taurine in it. Because "they're not essential", even though a decent amount of the population lacks the ability to synthesize carnitine.
What kind of folate is he using? Because about 5-10% of the population doesn't have the gene to convert the commonly used (and cheaper) form of synthetic folate to it's physiologically active form tetrahydrofolate.
I said he needed fiber, he added a tiny bit of fiber and believes "the body doesn't really need that much fiber and it might be bad for your gut" (lolno).
Edit: ...there are companies that have been doing for a lot longer than he has, with smarter people, more resources, and are better in every way. They still haven't quite figured it out yet, but this guy has been living off his formula and accidentally almost killing himself at nearly every turn.
