If the study is done in the appropriate manner it wont matter who funded it. We just did an 18 month study on our Build & Recover at Heriot Watt Uni in Edinburgh and I could not have influenced the results no matter how hard I tried as I never knew who any of the test subjects were or when the tests were taking place. We weren't even allowed to supply the products in unlabelled tubs (the subjects could have gone into a supp shop and thought they were Reflex!) so the test cases could not work out what they were getting.

I don't think anyone in the medical or scientific world will be overly keen to test yet another creatine derivative or possibly not able to get funding unless from someone who could benefit if the study goes well, so we're left with the patent holder.

I'm a cynic and tested this on our own athletes and select sportspeople I know and whose opinions I value and EVERYONE was very impressed with the results they had so we added it to our range.
