Glad I read this thread. That feeling of "well being" I noticed after the very first tablespoon and didn't know quite what it was, the carao, my last meal, or just some mood change (rough divoce right now), I have continued to notice it 30-45 minutes after I take it. Interesting theory about effects and how much is/isn't bound in your system. I have reason to believe that most of the gas I'm on is getting bound. Have had no water retention, zits or much of anything for several months lately and I've been on for a very long time. Today (8th) is my third day so I'm excited about the next couple weeks, the first zit I see I'll post, kind of looking for something like that as a clue that it's releasing some useable test into the system. Take care Bro's!!!
