I guess its really down to the individual if they feel they need it. Other then occasionally for recreational reasons Ive been lucky enough not to ever feel the need to take drugs not even for a headache so this really wouldnt be for me.
On a large scale I guess a parallel would be the pill but this drug doesnt seem to be quite as tested or as reliable and even the pill, from what Ive heard, has side effects that could be avoided.
Personally I think many people, perhaps due to limited time, are looking for quick fixes rather then traditional means of keeping fit like swimming, walking and other healthy living. Each to their own
