Redox and the product "Asea"

Has anyone else ever heard of this stuff? I notice from the video that they claim to be "very scientifically backed," according to the homeopathic Dr.. Does anyone have any Scientific Data or insight regarding this product, or or the "Redox" on which it depends?

Typical crank product IMO, it's got all the hallmarks.
  • A list of authority figures in an array of suits, shirts and lab coats
  • Some background science that is technically correct
  • A lot of background science that isn't technically incorrect but is exaggerated or taken out of context
  • Extensive CGI videos and music
  • No technical explanation for how the product works (unless you go digging)

Bear that in mind whilst we tell you about our unbelievable product..." it's pretty obvious that your product is rubbish.

Regarding the product itself it is apparently a cocktail of agents that are put in a drink. This is typical amongst crank products, the thought chain (and advertising tactic) is essentially "X is vital to health, this drink contains X..." without any evidence that consuming X will actually do anything. There is no peer-reviewed evidence I can find for this product and nothing to show for it beyond adverts which offer CGI, quotes and authority statements but no actual data.
 


Yeah, that was my first impression as well.
 
Just ONCE, I wanted to see a post titled Status Update that was not a blatant, annoying spam post by a new member. So here it is. Today was a good day here in Northern Wisconsin. Fall colors are here, no mosquitos, no deer flies, and mild temperature, so my morning run was unusually nice. Only two meetings today, and both went well. The deer that was road killed just down the road two weeks ago is now fully decomposed, so no more smell. Somebody has a spike buck skull for their...
