Ugh.
A red blood cell's lifespan has nothing to do with whether or not a supplement is working in your body. Red blood cells carry oxygen to other cells, organs and tissues in the body. They do NOT carry creatine to your muscles or St. John's Wort to your brain. The only things a red blood cell can carry are things like serotonin and oxygen - things that are not ingested, but part of the cell. Red blood cells have no nuclei and cannot carry supplments.
Recent research has shown the only other thing a red blood cell can do is attack bacteria that attaches to the outside of the red blood cell in the body.
Someone would use a statement like you have above to get a client to continue to buy more supplments even though they are not seeing any changes after a 4 month period.
I like to ask that you stop posting about selling supplements and such. I can understand that you are trying to run a business, but as a dancer and dietitian with a masters degree in nutritional science (my disseration was on nutritional supplments) I am not going to allow my sister/brother dancers to be duped with phony science.
Maybe you don't know these things and you are only posting what you find from other supplement sellers but I do not agree with posting incorrect information made to mislead people.
