What Did I Notice In The Past Month?
After one month of taking Primal Queen, I wanted to reflect honestly—not on hype, but on what actually changed, what didn’t, and what I still need more time to understand.
Truthfully? I didn’t notice much.
I’ve been going through the motions of my day-to-day instead of noticing any changes in my mood, energy, and overall health because my mind was more focused on making sure I took my supplements twice a day, instead of what’s happening internally with my body.
Even though I chose to pursue this experiment for one month—AFTER my Ma told me to start taking Primal Queen because it helped her within weeks—I’m taking things one step at a time because maybe I’m the dud instead of the supplement being the dud this time.
According to their pamphlet and website, in one month I should experience a “likely reduction in iron deficiency leading to increased vitality, sex drive, and overall well-being.”
While I didn’t notice anything yet, my parents offered me lovely feedback about what they did notice:
- I’ve been less cranky
- I’ve been less irritable
I’ve been more fluent in speaking and understanding my parents, which means my resting bitch face has softened slightly—a win in itself.
Thanks, Ma and Dad.
So, I guess that means I’m getting one step closer to becoming a real-life superhero, right?
Even with their feedback, I really can’t jump to conclusions. My daily habits were still in play:
- I don’t eat often
- I stay up late and wake up throughout the night
- I feel groggy in the morning
- I still feel like I don’t want to be anywhere else, except home
- I still make time to train twice a week for my personal training goals.
By the time I started this experiment, I was skeptical. I couldn’t attribute how my cycle felt in November to either being a good month or the supplement kicking in.
Tracking my progress was tedious, and doing so while on vacation came at a slight cost. Nothing major, but it did affect my personal data collection.
We were constantly on the go—walking, standing, getting onto packed trains and buses, and navigating crowds of people. I didn’t take my Primal Queen supplement for four days because we weren’t eating throughout the day.
Honestly, missing a few days didn’t ruin the experiment at all. Life gets in the way, things don’t go according to plan, and a little adjustment and leniency go a long way to seeing whether this experiment is helpful in the long run.
However, much like the expectations I laid out in my first article,My 1-Month Primal Queen Experiment: Tracking Real Results and Supplement Effects 2 Weeks In, I’m not going to blindly listen to my parents claim this supplement is the end-all-be-all.
A little progress goes a long way, but I need to make sure the supplement is helping me with mood, energy levels, iron deficiency, and flow—and that I’m not sabotaging it with poor habits—before exclaiming, “this shit didn’t work.”
Many supplements I’ve tried in the past were failures after months of trial and error.
