I bought a jar of Salvital - The Revitaliser yesterday

[Bretrick]

Any one here remember this product, or still use it?
Last time I had this was over 40 years ago.
Very disappointed with this product so I wrote to the company

I recently bought two containers of Salvital powder.
The last time I had this product would be more than 40 years ago.
Back then it was so effervescent that one had to be really quick to drink it least it contents overflow with the effects of extreme effervescence.
With this product I have bought, there is no effervescence, none.
Is this a faulty batch or has the effervescence been reduced to virtually nil?

What it means is that if this is how the product is now day then I will not be buying it again.
I had intended to regularly purchase it, not now.

I might have been a little revitalised

I get that it's for stomach relief. I use cimetidine (generic tagament) for my tummy.

I wrote to the company and received no response.
Obviously another product that has been tampered with buy the company to reduce costs and raise profits.

Aw, pooh. I saw this and thought Rob was back. Didn't realize it was an old thread resurrected. But now that I'm here, did you ever hear back from the company, @Bretrick ?

Never got a reply. Most likely because they do not want to acknowledge their shenanigans.
