Supplement-IT

What is it?

Supplement-IT is a nutritional supplement formulated to specifically address the physical and mental stress challenges of Information Technology Professionals. Supplement‐IT takes a nutraceutical approach to supporting performance‐based functions such as enhanced concentration and mental clarity; sustained energy and endurance, promotion of a calm and controlled mood, and boosted immune system response.

How was Supplement-IT created?

Supplement-IT was created by two Information Technology Professionals who lived your daily grind.

“We know first-hand the effects of sleep deprivation, relentless pages, never-ending bridge calls, and the cubical life. We’ve been there, and we know your pain. We decided there HAS to be a better way to deal with the work-stress than just caffeine and energy drinks!”

Review Results

GeekHealth.org distributed bottles of Supplement-IT to a number of IT professionals: Developers, CSRs, and System/Network Administrators along with office administrative staff.

100% of the results reported back were extremely positive: Supplement-IT delivers a quality product that lives up to its claims.

In addition to the positive feedback we received, we are very happy to report that not one review

er encountered any adverse side effects. This was very good news because a number of our reviewers were also taking prescription medications and were initially concerned about interactions.

Reviewer Comment Highlights

· At first I was skeptical, but I definitely noticed a reduction in my eye strain on days I took Supplement-IT.

· Now when I feel a headache coming on, or start to feel my eyes go fuzzy, I bypass my aspirin and go for Supplement-IT.

· I’d take it just for the focus enhancement alone, having the other effects are just icing on the cake.

· I hate to admit it, but I’m taking it at home too. I take one before sitting down to play my X-Box. I can play for an hour or two at a time, and Supplement-IT actually helps me perform better.

· It has helped me get through a very stressful week.

· There wasn’t a kick or rush, which I expected. This stuff just kind of gets to work quietly but you can tell it is helping.

Where is the Caffeine?

One common initial misconception we encountered was that an IT supplement must be an energy booster filled with stimulants. Reviewers were pleased to find out that Supplement-IT contains no caffeine or other stimulants.

Who Makes it?

SMAZEN Enterprises LLC

Working with the staff at SMAZEN was a pleasure. They were quick to respond to all our questions, and we would like to point out most of the questions our reviewers asked before taking Supplement-IT were already addressed on the Supplement-IT FAQ

It is clear that the staff at SMAZEN have done their homework to develop and produce a safe and effective product.

Geekhealth.org Review : Bhut Jolokia (Ghost Pepper)

Dec 9, 2009   //   by John Fly   //   Diet, Product Reviews  //  1 Comment

When it comes to peppers and heat one stands above the rest, the Bhut Jolokia or “Ghost Pepper”. 

Ghost peppers come in at an amazing 1,000,000 Scoville Units on the Scoville scale.

Geekhealth.org contacted American Spice to test out their hottest offering : The World’s Hottest Chile Pepper!!! Bhut Jolokia (Ghost Chile)

We must say that the peppers are definitely hot, but what surprised us the most was the amount of flavor these peppers contained. Also its surprising just how long the heat stays with you.  Most testers could feel some level of “burn” up to an hour after they ate the pepper.

We tried to get as many people as possible to eat these peppers, and ended up getting five testers. All agreed that the pepper’s heat is top notch, but nothing to be afraid of (at least if your used to eating hot foods.)

Some of the more interesting comments we heard were :

  • “Oh God, when will the burning stop”
  • “Great heat, the most I’ve ever felt from a pepper!  The taste is wonderful, like a dark chili powder.”
  • “My mouth!  I think its going numb.”

Everyone that tried these peppers found them to be full of flavor and definitely full of heat.  We even tried cooking some chili with these and found that just one Bhut Jolokia was enough to spice up a four quarts of chili. 

We also found American Spice was really easy to deal with, and our chili’s arrived quickly and nicely packaged.  If your looking to try the worlds hottest pepper then this is our pick for quality service and quality spices.
