It's flavored sugar water. Not enough good carbs to do anything. Not enough vitamins to do anything.

Vitamins don't do *hit unless you have a vitamin deficiency (which most American don't usually face). If your body already has enough, extra doesn't mean better. The majority of nutritional products are complete marketing hype and worthless. If you ever see one with some "scientific study" quoted as supporting them check who funded it, was it a placebo controlled double blind randomized, cross over design study, confirmed by other studies, and published in a peer reviewed journal. Alot of studies fail in a variety of these aspects and are utter bull*hit.

A big factor is mental. 30-40% of people respond to placebo (you gave them no drugs/no vitamins etc and they still improved).

I always find it funny how all these products are coming out aimed at middle aged women with extra calcium, when people cannot absorb it at that age. Your body reaches peak Ca levels in your mid twenties and goes down from then on (rate depends on sex). So far they haven't conclusive found any treatment to boost the Ca levels.

Right on, that was my impression as well.
