    Eh???? Uh oh.

    Anyone want to buy a Chinese hologram band? I've got several boxes of them to sell before they all go off.

    I find it humorous when any long term MyProtein consumer comes back to argue with the company. MyProtein is to some extent arguing with it's own products ;-)

    "Trion:Z wristbands use 1,000 Gauss axially magnetized magnets, arranged in a unique Alternating North-South Polarity Orientation (ANSPO™) that increases the penetration of the magnetic field."

    I'm actually a bit disgusted at MP for selling this nonsense. I have to say, it's a bit difficult to recommend a company that I know sells snake oil, what next, Zero calorie diet water? Very sad that MP has resorted to this to make a few extra quid. It may be nice for profit but it's hardly putting the customer first or acting in a moral way.

    Regardless of whether these things do anything, or its 'morally correct' to sell them (??), MP, like any other successful supplement company, is demand driven. The Trion-Z has been promoted by a number of top sports-persons, and subsequently there is a reasonable demand for them.

    So supply and demand is the argument? Well steroids are in demand, 'promoted' by many a top sportsman. Should MP get into that too?

    In fact if we want to stay totally legal why not start selling Chest eez? Totally legal and many sportsmen use that too, see Kolo Toure and Paddy Kenny.

    But in all seriousness, MP, as long as I can remember have stood out from the competition because they focused on products that worked, they stood by quality, why would we buy from MP? Well it's better product, superior quality from the high street competition and a company you can trust with your health.

    Are we now accepting that this isn't the case? That MP's mission statement should now be:

    "We sell products, not necessarily because they are good, offer quality but because you want them. We like your money and therefore don't care much if you aste it on nonsense, but we are profit driven".

    I expect more form MP. No doubt so do many others. I would hope that a company who prides itself on health benefits, product quality and customer care would take that into account before stocking items like this.

    Its not for everyone guys, but its something some customers have requested and we aim to offer the largest range of products in the worlds of sports. We offer a choice, certainly don't force any purchases! It is part of our MP Max range which is more focused to the "lifestyle" customer than our essentials range which is more the advanced user.

    When players the caliber of Rory wears them demand does increase (no idea if sponsorship or not)!

    LOL, so you're justifying the selling because a sportsman wears it? If you sold everything sportsmen wore or promoted you'd be into some very dodgy stuff. Then again i guess you already are with this thing.

    But just to be clear, would you say that this product is a good representation of the quality of the MP product range?

    Would the effectiveness of this product be indicative of the other products you sell?

    Of course we both know the answers to that So that means you're knowingly selling something that doesn't work.

    I'm not sure why I care so much really, I suppose if someone's stupid enough to buy them then it's their fault, it just feels as if MP has always been a company based on quality, whenever I recommend MP I always talk about quality etc, I'd feel a bit silly if someone came back and asked what the heck
    MP are doing selling a product that uses:

    Bilateral Teflon nuance adventure carpal fusion to digest the inversion hempty flouron thus bypassing any sabre bristol to shimmer the kryolampost.

    :

    Aren't you a little embarrassed? Be honest.

    Will you be selling 'go faster stripes' for runner, next?

    The bands are BS - you know it, I know it, my gran and aunties know it (I mean that literally, by the way - not just emphasis).

    Its a shame, when I have suggested you to gym goers, I have described you as, "a no BS company, who have a genuine interest in quality, unlike those bell-end (mostly) American brands". If I carry on saying things like that, I'll be lying. I don't like lying, shame you can't say the same, hey?
