Additional FAQs
Answer: Good question about the perforation. We didn't specify any special need for a perforated safety seal when the supplement was being manufactured, so I am guessing we got the "default" safety seal. That could be something we change on future bottles perhaps. Although, honestly, this is the first time someone has asked us about it.
------------------------------
Observation from 1 user: He felt like his body temp went up almost immediately after taking Supplement-IT. It was not a complaint at all but he was curious if this has happened to others and what might be causing it.
Answer: Nobody has previously mentioned noticing any change in body temperature,
however one of our ingredients Citicoline's side effects include elevated body temperature - according to Dr. Ray Sahelian, but also our ingredients Rhodiola Rosea and Vitamin E are said to help regulate body temperature. Also, there is approximately 15 mg of Citicoline in 1 capsule of Supplement-IT so I am surprised that such a low dosage would have a noticeable effect on one's body temperature.

Vitamin E questions and answers
Is our Vitamin E naturally made or not, and is it healthy to have it dosed so high?
Vitamin E can be derived naturally (from wheat, etc) or made synthetically. The Vitamin E in Supplement-IT is synthetically made.
Our ingredient is "Vitamin E (dl-alpha tocopheryl acetate)" This means our supplement is GLUTEN FREE, which is a selling point. yay!

Why do we have 100 IU or 333% Daily Value of Vitamin E in our supplement? or rather, is this a safe amount to consume?
Yes, this is fine. There is 100 IU of "Vitamin E (dl-alpha tocopheryl acetate)" in 2 capsules of Supplement-IT.
even if someone were to take 200 IU of "Vitamin E (dl-alpha tocopheryl acetate)" or 4 capsules of Supplement-IT per day, it would not harm them according to :
http://dietary-supplements.info.nih.gov/factsheets/vitamine.asp
"The FNB has established ULs for vitamin E based on the potential for hemorrhagic effects (see Table 3). The ULs apply to all forms of supplemental alpha-tocopherol, including the eight stereoisomers present in synthetic vitamin E. Doses of up to 1,000 mg/day (1,500 IU/day of the natural form or 1,100 IU/day of the synthetic form) in adults appear to be safe, although the data are limited and based on small groups of people taking at least 2,000 IU for a few weeks or months. Long-term intakes above the UL increase the risk of adverse health effects [6]. Vitamin E ULs for infants have not been established."

Feedback for Supplement-IT
However, there are some folks who haven't tried it yet, and these are the questions we seem to receive:
Is this really your supplement? or are you reselling it?
No folks, this is the REAL deal. The creators of Supplement-IT are two IT Professionals. We created it. Nobody else created Supplement-IT. It's ours. We made it for YOU! You can only buy Supplement-IT from our company (SMAZEN Enterprises LLC) or our website.
You guys aren't doctors, chemists, or scientists - why should I trust this product?
True we aren't doctors/chemists/scientists. We came up with the formula for this product by ourselves through a ton of research and brainstorming. However, we did work with industry chemists, nutritionists, and scientists to perfect the formula to ensure it was safe, had little, to no interactions, and was as natural/green-friendly as possible. We interviewed many, but selected a GMP certified neutraceutical manufacturer (Nutricap Labs) to make our formula into reality. THEN, once those bottles came in the mail, we tested on ourselves, individually, before releasing it to the public. We stand behind our product with a 30-day risk-free guarantee. You try it, you don't like it? Send it back. We'll refund you the cost of your 30 day supply PLUS shipping/handling.
How the heck did you come up with this idea?
It's simple really. We work in Information Technology. We live the cubical life. We carry the pager/blackberry on our hip 24/7. We know what it's like to work an 8 hr day, come home, sit down to dinner, and "Beep-beep-beep" dial into work for another potential 4-6 hours. We HAD to stay focused, to concentrate, to stay awake and alert. Before now, there was only the option of Caffeinated drinks/pills/beverages. There weren't other options. It's not healthy to live that way. We wanted a healthier alternative for ourselves, and for others. We started with a list of wants - what effects should a supplement of this nature produce? Then we looked at ingredients. What ingredients could possibly give the effects that we wanted? We trimmed our ingredient list by cross-indexing for interactions, safety, known issues, and looked for natural ingredients whenever possible. Then we went to our scientist/chemist friends, and refined the formula further, and so on - until our manufacturers made it a reality for us. It's VEGAN too. We even went so far as to ensure that our ingredients will work WITH Caffeine - as most of you are already caffeinated by the time you get our product. If you want an alternative to the caffeine. If you want ingredients which may give you non-caffeinated energy, focus, concentration, boost to your immune system, nutrients you're missing from sunlight deprivation, support or your eyesight, then look no further, SUPPLEMENT-IT has those ingredients!
We'll write more later, but noodle on this for a bit. Until then, Thanks for listening.
