Popular Post Sheryl Posted January 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 1, 2021 It is basically just chicken and chicken meat cooked a long time. It is rich in certain amino acids which seem to be helpful in counteracting fatigue. There is no evidence it would be useful in kidney disease. It is comparatrively high in protein and high protein foods can be contraindicated in people with advanced kidney disease. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonlover Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 My Thai wife swears by it. She makes sure I have one every morning. Brand's have a very informative website that you might like to visit. Did you know that it was originally made for King George IV of England? Great question for a pub quiz night.

tonray Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I would be a lot cheaper to boil a chicken and drink the broth.

Whey is recommend because it is easy to reach a minimum quantity (around 40 grams) in one serving and is quickly absorbed by the body. This product is claimed to be "rich in certain amino acids", so in no way you can extract from that that is has similar benefits as whey or would be good after a workout. Imagine how many bottles you need to drink to reach 40 grams of protein from that... compare that to the cost of 2 scoops of whey protein. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ask a Thai it's good for almost everything, that Tiger Balm cannot handle... It's also supposed to give you extra power, and might be recommended to get power when one is weak from sickness, or just need extra power for other purposes, like a night in the town...???? I've tried it a couple of times on my girlfriend's recommendation, mixed with a small Krating Daeng-bottle (original Red Bull) so it more easy to digest for a farang; it works...????, but I however don't know if it's the squeeze chicken liquid or the Krating Daeng that gives the power, probably the chicken as I didn't grew any Red Bull-wings from that cure... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natway09 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Pretty sure they would take delivery of all the chicken bones from the abbitoir & make a stock, then double boil etc, certainly can see no harm in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronaldo0 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Basically concentrated chicken stock without the lumps and fat . Thais will buy anything if told how amazing it is . Just look at the amount of celebrities that sell whitening face cream that makes you look like a model . Thai women buy loads of it believing it’s going to turn them into a model and superstar . They kind of skip the fact the celeb is from a upper class rich family and has genetics and a surgeon on their side !! Oh and millions of pounds to waste on beauty treatments. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sikishrory Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) I remember I had a gf that was into it years ago. She seemed to think it gave her a boost. I tried it and liked it. If I feel like a need a bit of a boost I drink it and for a few moments afterwards feel some energy. Pretty much like a chicken stock I think. When you open make sure to smash the lid into your palm a bit for absolutely no reason like the Thais do. Then you will look like you really know your stuff Edited January 4, 2021 by sikishrory 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
