Panaxcea Benefits

Mind Lab Pro is a VERY effective nootropic for focus, concentration, short / long term memory, and more.

The Ultimate Nootropics Stack by Nootropics.com is one of the most effective stacks I’ve taken.

The combo of L-Theanine and Caffeine is a well known nootropic stack that really works.

Panaxcea (Panexitrol) Review – Should You Try It?

These kinds of supplements are popping up on my radar quite a bit lately.

Sometimes they’re vague in their claims.

Other times they’re extremely specific.

But they basically all make the claim that they rejuvenate your cells and make you feel better.

The most recent one come around is called Panaxcea, which sounds very similar to a competing product called Panexitrol.

On its website, there’s a picture of a young guy, blissful and almost flying. The caption is A Better New You!

Unleash The Power of Your Mind! I thought it was kind of a strange juxtaposition, so I read on.

Panaxcea Benefits

Much like Panexitrol, the Panaxcea homepage lists out the benefits you can expect when you take this supplement.

Within each listing, a certain word was always present, and in the end I think it’s probably the most important word on the whole website.

The word is “may.” Here’s what I mean:

Panaxcea “may” regenerate cells and your joint and muscle pain “may” disappear, and “may” be replaced with great flexibility.
Your ability to process, remember, and recall information “may” show some improvement.
You “may” be able to move without pain.
You “may” feel rejuvenated.
You “may” feel young again.
It “may” rid you of years of toxic buildup.

All these benefits sound great, I admit.

But with the word “may” in every statement, it might as well say Panaxcea “may” start your car on cold mornings.

They’re not saying it actually will do these things, just that it may do them.

Panaxcea Ingredients

A the very bottom of the website, there’s a link to the Panaxcea formula, and it’s a laundry list of mainly vitamins.

Here’s what Panaxcea is made up of:

Vitamin A
Vitamin C
Vitamin D
Vitamin E
Vitamin K
Thiamine
Riboflavin
Niacin
Vitamin B6
Folate
Vitamin B12
Biotin
Pantothenic Acid
Calcium
Iron
Phosphorous
Iodine
Magnesium
Zinc Selenium
Copper
Manganese
Chromium
Molybdenum
Chloride
Sodium
Potassium
Choline
Inositol (found in other supplements like GOLO)
Boron
Silica
Vanadium
Fluoride
Sea Cucumber Extract
Resveratrol
Lutein
Zeaxanthin

Except for a couple of ingredients at the end, it reminds me of the ingredients listed on the side of a box of fortified cereal.

When I looked again, the list reminded me of something else too.

It seemed pretty close to the list for another cell rejuvenating supplement I’ve reviewed called Regenify.
//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

So I looked it up.

It’s the exact same list, right down to each of the same ingredient amounts. Panaxceais exactly the same thing as Regenify.

So is this a case of one supplement imitating another? Or is it something else?

I was curious so I did a little digging.

What is Regenify?

Several months ago, I started getting a bunch of questions from readers about a new supplement called Regenify.

They’d received a brochure in the mail about the stuff, promising that it could cure 100s of diseases and make you look and feel decades younger.

Understandably, my readers wanted to know if this stuff was legit. If it was, it would be quite a product. Hell, I’d take it for sure.

So I started looking into it, and all I could find online was a bare-bones website with little more than an order page.

They didn’t even disclose anything about the ingredients.

I let me readers know that I was looking into it, but having trouble finding information.

This being 2015, it’s pretty odd that an exciting new supplement didn’t have much of a web presence.

That and the fact that it made these ridiculous promises led me to pretty much write this stuff off.

Eventually, they did disclose their ingredient list.

It was exactly what you see above.

But they must have done quite a mailing push because people kept asking about it, partly because once I’d put up my review, I was almost the only search result when you Googled Regenify.

Even so, after a while the hype died down.

I just figured they had their run, and once people found out it was basically a multivitamin and it couldn’t cure diseases, they withdrew their push.

What is Panexitrol?

So I’ve noticed a lot of people are now asking me about a very similar product called Panexitrol. By all accounts, it appears that it’s virtually the same product.

You’ll see tons of similarities, including the products own labels:

And if you try to go to the old Panaxcea website (www.panaxceabooster.com), it redirects you to the Panexitrol website (www.panexitrolbooster.com)

Back to Panaxcea

Like I said, a lot of the buzz has died out.

I still get the occasional question about Regenify, but it’s nothing like it was before.

When I was asked about Panaxcea, I could tell from the website’s home page that this was something similar.

It wasn’t until I read the ingredient list that I realized it was more than just similar. It’s the exact same thing. So I did a little more digging.

The Panaxcea website was first registered in early September of this year (less than 2 months ago).

When you look into who owns the website, that information if private.

But you can see what other sites are connected to it. And wouldn’t you know it?

The regenify website is owned by the same people that own the Panaxcea website.

Further investigation reveals that they have the same address and phone number as well.

This came as no surprise after having done my homework, but it immediately let me know what was going on.

Why Do We Care That They’re The Same?

So Regenify and Panaxcea are the same product made by the same company. Who cares?

Well, after the first initial round of excitement about Regenify, the complaints started rolling in.

Clearly, customers found out that it didn’t do what it promised.

But a lot of them also had horrific customer service experiences as well.

I’ve heard that the reps were rude and pushy and unable to answer any questions at all about the product.

I’ve also heard that getting them to refund your money under the money back guarantee is next to impossible.

In the supplement industry, it’s pretty common for a company to come out with a product, make a big sales push, burn a lot of bridges with their terrible product and service, then create a new brand and start all over.

It’s my opinion that that’s what’s going on with Panaxcea.

This could be avoided looking into a product before taking it, but not all potential customers are going to have as much access to information about male enhancement supplements and will not be able to know what to look for.

Where to Buy Panaxcea

If you still wish to, you can order Panaxcea through their official website.

A single bottle costs $39.95, but there are other options where if you buy multiple bottles you can pay as little as $23.33 per bottle.They claim to offer a 90 day money back guarantee, requiring that you send the product back.

Panaxcea Pros and Cons

Advantages of Panaxcea

It contains lots of vitamins and minerals.

Disadvantages of Panaxcea

It makes some pretty silly claims about what it “may” do for you, considering that it’s a multivitamin.
It’s expensive for a vitamin.
It’s basically recycled Regenify.

Conclusion

Panaxcea cannot do for you what it claims.

More than likely, neither can Panexitrol. My guess is that they’re using the word “may” to cover their asses when someone decides to sue them for not living up to its marketing claims.

That should be enough to make anyone skeptical.

Then a look at the ingredients and a little investigative work into the company should clinch it.

Panaxcea is not something you need to bother with.

Immutol Review – Should You Try It?

More and more people are turning to alternative medicine and herbal solutions to stay healthy.

Along with all the clean eating programs, there’s been a real surge in the population of people who would rather support their bodies in staying health than treat diseases after they show up.

Immutol may be one product that fits well within that lifestyle.

Immutol is an immune boosting daily supplement.

It’s been generating quite a bit of buzz, and recently I had a couple readers as me to look into it.

I did, and here’s what we came up with.

Immutol Benefits

Immutol makes a very simple promise to boost your immune system.

By taking Immutol daily, according to their marketing materials, you’ll see fewer colds this winter, you’ll avoid the flu (even without getting a flu shot) and you’ll feel better and more energetic all year long.

Immutol Ingredients

There’s only one ingredient in Immutol.

That’s Norwegian Beta-1,3/1,6-Glucan (or NBG).

You may be familiar with the idea that Beta-1,3/1,6-Glucan can support your immune system.

You may also know that it can help fight against cancer and lower bad cholesterol.

We’ll get into all of that a little later, but it’s important to know that according to Immutol, their Norwegian Beta-1,3/1,6-Glucan is the only truly effective kind of Beta-Glucan when it comes to supporting immune function.

What Are Beta Glucans?

Beta Glucans are sugars that are taken from the cell walls of bacteria, fungi, yeasts, and plants like oats an barley.

They are present in foods such as oats, barley, an mushrooms.

They can be used as medicine/nutrients in several ways:

There is some evidence to support the protocol of injecting certain types of beta glucans to prolong the lives of late stage cancer patients.
Taking certain beta glucans orally can reduce bad and total cholesterol.
Oral ingestion of specific beta glucans over 4 weeks may reduce the symptoms of an allergy to ragweed.
Certain blends of beta glucans injected intravenously may decrease the risk of post-surgery infections.
They may reduce canker sores.
Taking beta glucans from oats may improve diabetics’ insulin and cholesterol levels.
Intravenous use my boost the immune systems of patients with HIV.

Most research is at this point early and inconclusive, but it is promising.

And how effective they are depends in large part on what kinds of Beta Glucans are used, how they are extracted, and how they are administered.

Why Immutol?

The makers of Immutol insist that they use precisely the right kind of beta glucan, processed in exactly the right way, and dosed at the perfect amount to get the best results for boosting the immune system.

First off, that means Norwegian Beta-1,3/1,6-Glucan taking from the cell walls of baker’s yeast.

But the most important part to note is that the substance is extracted fully intact.

If this is not the case, you simply won’t get the benefits.

Immutol manufacturers have the patent on their extraction method, so you know you’re getting only the purest, most effective immune supporting beta glucan.

How Immutol Works

The Beta-1,3/1,6-Glucan in Immutol stimulates the activity of the macrophage, which is a white blood cell, one of the building blocks of the immune system.

The macrophage provide resistance to disease and signal to other cells to go and attack whatever intruders it sees.

Because Beta-1,3/1,6-Glucan is acid resistant, it remains unchanged as it travels through the digestive system.

It’s picked up by the macrophages with beta glucan receptors, where it gets to work bolstering your immune system.

How To Use Immutol

The recommended dose is 2 capsules taken up to 3 times a day with meals.

Since there are only 60 capsules in a bottle, that bottle could last you as little as 10 days.

Who Makes Immutal?

The company that makes Immutol is called Immunocorp, based in California., who’s goal is to provide products that support healthy immune systems.

Their parent company, SanaPharma, is based in Norway.

They’re the ones that have patents on the extraction process, so you know you’re getting the best beta glucan you can for your immune system.

Immutol Side Effects

While no supplement can claim to be completely side effect-free, here are no known side effects when taking Immutol according to the dosing instructions.

Where to Buy Immutol

Immutol is sold through the official Immunocorp website.

A single botlle costs $59.95. They offer discounts if you buy multiple bottles at once.The deal for 3 bottles is $125.88. The deal for 9 bottles is $269.73, which is only $29.97 per bottle.Let’s say you went for the 9 bottle deal.

That would last you 3 months at the max dose, leaving you with a monthly costs of $89.91.

A money back guarantee is offered for purchases made at the website.They don’t specify exactly how it works, but they say it’s with no questions asked and no time limit.

Immutol is also available at Amazon.com.

There, they charge $35.89 per bottle.

Immutol Reviews

One good thing about Immutol being available through Amazon.com is that we get to see some customer feedback.In this case, the positive outweighs the negative by quite a bit.

Here’s a sampling:

“This is my third purchase of Immutol capsules and I feel great.

My neighbor even commented on how good I looked, as opposed to how I looked prior to taking Immutol… I can really feel the difference in my energy level, and overall health, and I’ve been taking less than the suggested dose.”

and
“I never realized how good Immutol was until I stopped taking it.

I started getting sick more often and catching colds all the time.

I am totally convinced this product works. “

Immutol Pros and Cons

Advantages of Immutol

It’s a single ingredient, so you know what you’re getting.
There’s a money back guarantee.
There are clinical studies to back up the effectiveness of beta glucans to some degree.
Most Immutol reviews are positive.

Disadvantages of Immutol

It can get expensive, especially if you use the max dose.

Conclusion

If you feel as though you could use an immune system boost, and your downing of Vitamin C tabs isn’t cutting it, it may be time to give Immutola try.

There’s science backing up how it can help you, and even though it’s not conclusive or directly involving Immutol, it’s a good start.

Just keep the original packaging because if it doesn’t work for you, you’ll want to take advantage of the money back guarantee.

Check with your doctor to make sure that you are not allergic and that it does not interact with any medications you are on just to be totally sure if you have any doubts.

13 Best Diet Pills Sold In Stores (GNC, Walmart, Walgreens)

One of the most sought after types of supplement on the market, diet pills have become so common place that you’re able to find them just about anywhere.

The “strict” regulations on diet pills within the United States are anything but when compared with other countries.

In fact, the United States is one of the most accepting countries when it comes to the ingredients found in supplements.

With that said, the ease of attaining promises of quick weight loss have never been easier.

Just because these supplements are easy to get does not mean they are effective.

Many of them are inferior and watered down, possibly boasting ingredients that are only actively available in super small doses within the supplements themselves and are off-set by the fillers surrounding them.

I personally took a visit to a number of popular stores, including GNC, Vitamin Shoppe, Walmart, Wagreens, CVS, and many others, to seek out these readily available diet pills.

Here is my list of the most common diet pills that you’ll find in your local mega store and pharmacy.

As always, take these reviews with a grain of salt and remember that any diet pill needs to be used in conjunction with a proper diet and exercise program.

Jump to a store: GNC and Vitamin Shoppe
Walmart
Walgreens, Rite Aide, and CVS

GNC & Vitamin Shoppe

Everyone knows about GNC, it is the most popular supplement store in the States and across the globe.

Vitamin Shoppe has a similar product stock and price list.

I stopped in to both to see what they had to offer and these were the hot buys recommended by staff and customers alike.

#1: Cellucor Super HD Xtreme

Cellucor has had its hand in the supplement game for a long time.

You’ll find the Cellucor brand plastered across several categories of supplements in GNC including pre-workouts, post workouts, testosterone boosters, multivitamins, whey protein, and, of course, weight loss.

Super HD Xtreme by Cellucor is one of the GNC’s most popular products and with good reason: it has a next level formula that has been shown to support weight loss.

Looking To REALLY Get Ripped?

Click Here to download my FREE "How To Get Ripped Quickly" eBook!!

TeaCor Tetramethyluric Acid, or Theacrine, is a rarely used (soon to become huge) ingredient that may not have a direct impact on your body fat levels but it has been shown to boost your cognitive function, performance and mood.

A counterpart to caffeine, Theacrine will certainly be beneficial in supporting your ambitions to get up and get going to the gym, for a walk, or whatever physical activity you decide to do.

Super HD Xtreme contains caffeine, which, as demonstrated above, is a known body fat burner.

It also has Capsimax (Capsicum) and Rauwolfia vomitoria root bark extract on its list of ingredients.

Capsicum has been shown in studies to provide a high level of fat oxidation while Rauwolfia vomitoria directly enhances weight loss and cholesterol levels.

This one is a fan favorite.

Check out reviews across any platform and you’ll see a huge number of positive ones.

Users have raved about the huge energy boost, fat loss, and muscle building.

When I tested it, I lost 6 pounds.

This may not seem like much but I didn’t have a lot to lose to begin with.

The negative reviews seem to have one thing in common: the intolerance to the thermogenic formula.

If you’re sensitive to caffeine or any other thermogenic, consider a smaller dose.

Despite having a terrific line up of ingredients, considering the price point for a one-month supply, I don’t know if I would recommend Super HD Xtreme by Cellucor.

GNC and Vitamin Shoppe sell the product for $100 while Gold Card members can snag it for $80.

If you can find this product for $70 or less (or if you have the money to blow), then I’d say go for it.Otherwise, you can find other terrific weight loss supplements in store for half the price.

#2: BioGenetic Laboratories Meratrim Platinum+

Meratrim Platinum+ by BioGenetic Laboratories is one of the best weight loss pills at GNC and Vitamin Shoppe.

It is marketed towards women as a weight loss supplement (hence the cheerful woman in the advertising).

If you’re a guy and your ego will allow it, you can still take Meratrim Platinum as none of the ingredients are sex hormone specific.

In other words, you won’t have to worry about your testosterone levels if you take this supplement.

Meratrim Platinum+ has a very simple yet effective formula.

Its two primary ingredients, Sphaeranthus indicus and Garcinia mangostana, both have scientific backing as you’ll find in this article published in the Journal of Medicinal Food.

Its other two ingredients are L-Carnitine and Green Tea Extract.

The jury is still out on L-Carnitine for weight loss although it is found within many pre, intra, and post workout supplements because of its suggested muscle building benefits.

Green tea has been hailed as an all-around health aid and studies have demonstrated its effectiveness for weight management.

So what are people saying about Meratrim Platinum+?

Featured on the Dr. Oz show, Platinum+ got the thumbs up from America’s supposed health guru.

Browse through the review section of the major distributors of the product and you’ll see a very mixed set of reviews.

Previous customers seem to be split down the middle.

Some customers are claiming that they saw good results when pairing it with proper diet and exercise.

Of the reviews I have seen, the average weight loss cited has been between 5 and 15 pounds.

Others bash the pill, claiming that it did nothing but burn a whole in their pocket.

Based on the ingredient list, I would recommend Meratrim Platinum+ by BioGenetic Laboratories.

It contains ingredients that have been proven to work.

If you’re skeptical due to customer reviews, then wait until it’s on sale to pick up.

Depending on whether or not it’s on sale, you can pick up Meratrim Platinum+ at GNC and Vitamin Shoppe for $30 to $35.

I have seen it as low as $23 for Gold Card members!

#3: Hydroxycut SX-7 Black Onyx

Make no mistake about it, SX-7 Black Onyx by Hydroxycut may seem like it’s all talk with the name and flashy label but it has the ingredient list to back it up.Hydroxycut is a weight loss supplement brand that has been around for a long time.

Like many of the best supplements, it has gone through various formula changes based on the irresponsible usage of customers and FDA legislation.

Still, considering what the company has been through, they still manage to put out terrific, yet pricey, supplements for weight loss.

Let’s get started with the somewhat bad news first.

SX-7 Black Onxy contains Salvia miltiorrhiza and Theanine.

Salvia miltiorrhiza: This herb may have a long-standing history of ancient medicinal use but the studies to back it up just aren’t there.

Then there is Theanine.

This amino acid has been used in numerous cognitive research studies but there are no studies to support it as a weight loss supplement.

With that said, SX-7 Black Onyx also contains coleus forskolin, caffeine anhydrous, yohimbe bark extract, and green coffee bean extract.

All of these ingredients have been shown in a variety of studies to trigger a higher level of fat loss and support weight management.

As a whole, the reviews for SX-7 Black Onyx are positive.

Most reviews that you’ll find on websites like Amazon or Bodybuilding.com have users exclaiming about the huge mental boost they felt along with the increased weight loss.

Many guys take the product specifically for the added mental intensity in the gym, which, in turn, has helped them gain muscle mass.

SX-7 Black Onyx by Hydroxycut has a proven formula and the reputation to go with it.

I would definitely recommend using this to support weight loss goals.

It is available at GNC and Vitamin Shoppe for around $60. If you take two capsules per day, it’s a supply for a little over a month.Gold card members can pick it up for $50.

#4: BSN Clean Fat Burner

BSN is another king of the supplement industry.

I remember its early days when NO Xplode first hit the gym scene (check out my review of that one here).Since then, BSN has come a long way and become an industry giant, offering every type of supplement for your fitness needs including Clean Fat Burner.

As far as ingredients go, BSN Clean Fat Burner has a great line-up including Green Coffee Extract, Caffeine Anhydrous, Cissus Quadrangularis Extractm, and Yerba Mate Extract.

These ingredients, in particular, have all demonstrated a number of benefits related to weight loss including increased levels of fat burning and heightened energy and focus.

Overall, Clean Fat Burner makes sure to play to every type of crowd. It has a formula that supports metabolic boosting, appetite suppression, and energy enhancement.

So what are people saying about it?

The general consensus that you’ll find scattered across the Internet is that Clean Fat Burner is an effective way to support weight loss and muscle building.

Some of the most positive comments that I came across had to do with people losing up to 20 pounds in conjunction with exercise and a healthy diet.

Other people used it as an alternative to coffee and found themselves to be extremely productive throughout the day.

The negative reviews that I found all had to do with the fact that this is a thermogenic blend.

People who tried it on an empty stomach experienced nausea.

Other customers with a caffeine intolerance found that they could not handle the thermogenic formula, of which caffeine is the main ingredient.

Case in point: It works but you may want to look elsewhereif you are sensitive to thermogenics like caffeine and green coffee extract.

Given the formula and reviews, I’d say that BSN Clean Fat Burner may be a great asset to your weight loss journey.

My only problem with the supplement is the price point that you’ll find at the GNC and Vitamin Shoppe stores.

It runs $60 before taxes for a one-month supply.Considering the other supplements on our list, I think this is a bit expensive.

If you are a Gold Card member, you can pick it up for $48, which is better.Put simply: If you can find it on sale, grab it.

If you enjoy BSN products, check out my reviews for NO Xplode, EvoTest, Amino X, and Hyper FX.

#5: Fastin

Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals is a brand that is becoming increasingly popular around the thermogenic supplement scene.

Their product Fastin is often on the store shelves at your local GNC and Vitamin Shoppe, and it is a common diet pill that has a decent line up of ingredients.

Fastin has a short and sweet ingredient list that includes:

Caffeine
Yohimbe
Phenyethylamine hcl
Methylsynephrine hcl
N-Methyl-B-Phenylethylamine HCL
Synephrine HCL
Theobromine Anhydrous

If you’re looking for the heavy hitters of weight loss research, nothing hits harder than Yohimbe and Theobromine.

Yohimbe has been shown to be extremely effective at promoting body fat reduction while improving body composition.

Theobromine has been shown in studies to trigger a high level of fat oxidation while increasing your energy levels.

It also has been said to suppress appetite and improves insulin sensitivity.

So how does Fastin stack up?

First and foremost, if you have a sensitivity to any type of thermogenic, this is not for you. I personally have a sensitivity to Yohimbe, so my first week on the product was up and down.

If you can adjust or if thermogenics are no big deal to you, then you may be very happy with what Fastin can provide.

The reviews you’ll find about the product all point to the incredibly high energy levels.

This is both a good and bad thing depending on who you ask.

As you’ll see in my full review, I ended up losing 2 pounds in one month, which isn’t bad.

I didn’t need to lose much so I was pretty happy with the result, although I’ve lost more on other products.

Even with a decent line up of ingredients, I don’t think I’d recommend this product.

The price point is a bit high for a one-month supply as you’re looking at $50 for a supplement with a very high thermogenic profile.

If you can find it on sale and you have a good history with thermogenics, then I would say buy it.Otherwise, look elsewhere.

Walmart

For better or worse, it seems like every town has a Walmart.

From groceries to televisions, this mega chain offers customers everything they could ever want.

Walmart also is home to a well-stocked supplement section.

It may be surprising to learn that the store provides more than just a box of protein bars.

Here are the most popular diet pills that you’ll find in your local Walmart.

Note: This is just a small sample of what’s available. Click Here to read our in depth article on the best weight loss supplements at Walmart.

#6: Zantrex-3 High Energy Fat Burner

This Utah-based company offers several supplement solutions to fat burning with the most popular being Zantrex-3 High Energy Fat Burner.

Zantrex-3 has some noteworthy ingredients that all have scientific research and studies to back up their effectiveness including Kola Nut Extract, Yerba mate, Green Tea extract, Caffeine, and Panax Ginseng.

Of these ingredients, there are two that I haven’t talked about.

Kola Nut Extract is rarely seen on product labels but considering the research, that may soon be changing.

Kola Nut Extract has been shown to suppress appetite and significantly reduce body fat.

Panax Gingseng, an ancient overall health remedy, has been shown in several studies to support weight loss as well as healthy gut bacteria.

It has proven ingredients but is the product worth the buy?

Bad news first: If you look at some of the reviews on our site, the most common complaints about Zantrex are:

Rapid heartbeat
Dizziness
Diarrhea
Nausea

Consider this: These reviews are mostly from peoplethat already had a known intolerance to caffeine.

In fact, in the reviews that I read on other sites, the authors all admitted they had a caffeine intolerance YET they still took the product. You know your own body.

If you can’t handle caffeine then why would you do that to yourself?

If you can handle your morning cup of coffee, then this product should be just fine.

It no longer has the ephedrine in it that it once did (which may be a good or bad thing, depending on who you’re asking), yet it still knocks a powerful punch for your weight loss.

All of the positive reviews that you’ll find on the product talk about a high amount of energy, increased productivity, decreased body fat, and enhanced muscle mass.

Like most supplement companies, Zantrex has hit some bumps in the road with their original formula.

Even after changing up their ingredients, Zantrex still offers an impressive product at a reasonable price.

If you’re looking for a way to support your weight loss journey in conjunction with a proper diet and exercise program, then I would recommend Zantrex-3.

In fact, I would even go so far as to say that it’s one of the best female fat burners we’ve ever tested.

And we’ve tested A LOT!

It’s also a VERY effective Phentermine alternative, and that’s saying a lot.

Walmart sells Zantrex 3 for around $40, depending on what region of the country you live in.

#7: Relacore

Relacore is a little different from most weight loss supplements.While the rest of them put their focus on typical strategies like boosting metabolism, burning fat, and suppressing appetite, Relacore concentrates on relieving stress and improving your mood, and claims that this is the way to win the fight against belly fat.

It may seem strange, but the claim is based on the real concept that stress causes your body to release Cortisol, the stress hormone.

According to this article in Prevention Magazine, Cortisol signals your body to replenish its energy stores by – you guessed it – eating, and because when you’re stressed you’re also craving pleasure to replace the anxiety, you’re going to crave pleasure-inducing foods like fat, salt, and sugar.

It seems that increased cortisol can lead not only to increased fat, but specifically increased belly fat, as fat cells in the belly have been shown to contain more cortisol than fat cells in the rest of the body.

But the question that remains is whether or not Relacore can lower cortisol levels and reduce the associated belly fat.

Along with Vitamin C, several B Vitamins, and essential minerals, the Relacore formula provides a proprietary blend of herbs including:

Ginseng
Magnolia
Passion Flower
Jujube
Chinese Skullcap
Phosphatidylserine

The top anxiety relievers in the list are Passion Flower, Phosphatidylserine, B Complex Vitamins, and Magnesium, but truthfully, there are plenty more stress relieving herbs that come to mind (think Ashwagandha and Rhodiola Rosea).

Customer responses to Relacore are mixed, with most of the positive feedback revolving around stress relief more than weight loss.

So if you think your belly fat could be reduced by alleviating some of the stress in your life, you can pick up a 72-count bottle (a 24 day supply) at Walmart for $21.99.

#8: eAC 1234

eAC stands for Energy Appetite Control, which pretty much explains what this product claims to do for you.It was formulated by Creative Bioscience, specifically for dieters in any phase of the hCG diet plan (the one with the drops), but with its list of benefits it really can be used by anyone using any program to try to lose weight.

Read more about the hCG diet plan here: http://europepmc.org/abstract/med/3609673

The eAC 1234 formula relies quite a bit on stimulants with its nearly 200 mg of caffeine, 30 mgs of Citrus Aurantium, 100 mg of Green Tea, and 20 mg of Guarana Extract.That’s some serious stimulant power, in fact it may be too much for some. Citrus Aurantium in conjunction with Caffeine has been known to cause uncomfortable side effects, perhaps to the point of being dangerous.

Additional ingredients include, B Vitamins, Chromium, Caralluma Fimbriata, Cascara Sagrada, and a Probiotic Blend.

Caralluma Fimbriata comes from a cactus plant, and there’s evidencethat it can help control appetite, while Cascara Sagrada acts as a laxative.

Customer feedback on eAC 1234 is mainly positive, primarily in reference to the appetite control.This is a popular choice for people who have difficulty keeping their eating under control, and for the most part, it seems to be helping.

Walmart sells the 60-count bottle (a one month supply) for under $15. At this price, it’s almost a no-brainer.

#9: Slimquick Pure

Slimquick Pure is a weight loss product designed especially for women, and it promises to help you lose 3 times the weight in just 13 weeks, recognizing the open secret we all really know – that it’s just plain harder for women to lose weight than it is for men.

The Slimquick Pure line works on 6 levels to help you smash through plateaus:

Boosts metabolism
Suppresses appetite
Sends energy soaring
Reduces bloating and excess water
Support proper hormone balance
Eases stress

The product line has yet another hook, and that’s the online support community you can join when you buy the products and sign up.Heck, I don’t think you even have to buy the products, I think you can just join.

It’s definitely the kind of perk that can engender loyalty to a brand.

There are three products in the line: Slimquick Pure Pills, Slimquick Pure Gummies, and Slimquick Pure Drink Mix.

The primary active ingredient in all three is BioPure Green Tea Extract.

In addition to being a strong antioxidant and the small amount of caffeine it provides, Green Tea Extract contain EGCGs which have been shown to studies to help improve weight loss efforts by increasing the use of fat for energy.

The formulas for each of them vary a little.

Slimquick Gummies

This ismainly a straight shot of Green Tea Extract (75 mg per gummy with a serving size recommendation of two).

They’re designed as a quick treat that can help your diet rather than hinder it.

Walmart sells a 60-count bottle of the Slimquick Gummies for $17.88.

Slimquick Pure Drink Mix

The formula for this one is a little more rounded out with a slate of B vitamins and calcium, and a few herbs in addition to the Green Tea Extract.It also adds some isolated caffeine, though we don’t know how much because it’s within a proprietary blend.

Add a packet to your water bottle on the road or at home for a boost of energy and metabolism.

The 26 pack box sells at Walmart for $17.98.

SlimQuick Pure Pills

The pills contain the most complete formula with a host of addition vitamins, herbal fat fighters, and antioxidants.It’s the core of the 3-part system, and arguably the most important to have in your arsenal.

You can buy the 60-count caplet package at Walmart for $17.98.

#10: Twinlab Ripped Fuel Extreme

The Twinlab company has been around for a long time and like larger companies such as BSN, it offers a product for every fitness goal.In the weight loss department, Twinlab has a line-up of Ripped Fuel supplements.

The most popular in the series is Ripped Fuel Extreme.

The main ingredients in Ripped Fuel Extreme are Caffeine, Green Tea leaf extract, Cayenne fruit extract and L-Carnitine.

While the first three of these ingredients all have studies supporting their ability to promote a healthy weight loss, L-Carnitine does not. (6, 2, 8)

With that said, L-Carnitine is a very popular ingredient to support muscle building and you’ll find it in many pre-workout and post-workout recovery products; however, the Ripped Fuel brand does not even come close with an efficient dosage.

To see real results from L-Carnitine, you need at least 2 grams.

Ripped Fuel Extreme only has 13 mg!

As with most caffeine heavy products, the reviews are mixed based on the user’s body type.

The positive features of Ripped Fuel Extreme include higher energy levels and water weight loss.

For those who are sensitive to caffeine, the 220 mg per serving may be a bit high.

Speaking of caffeine, it seems to be the only ingredient in this product that is dosed at its effective level.

The rest of the fat burning ingredients are all lacking.

In other words, Ripped Fuel Extreme is essentially a caffeine pill.

Considering the price point for the product, which is $14 at Walmart, I wouldn’t recommendTwinlab Ripped Fuel Extreme.You can purchase a huge supply of straight caffeine tablets for much less elsewhere.

Walgreens, Rite Aid, & CVS

If you don’t feel like trucking to your local GNC, Vitamin Shoppe, or Walmart, you can always find a wide variety of diet pills in local stores like Walgreens, Rite Aide, and CVS.

You’ll find many of the exact same products we’ve already talked about above in these stores, but here’s a few that seem to be sold almost exclusively in these chains.

#11: Lipo 6 Black Concentrate

Nutrex has made its way into many households across the nation since the company first started in 2002. With the recent opening of their newest headquarters in Florida, Nutrex is pushing more product than ever before.

The supplement company’s focus and popularity stems from its unique line of diet pills that are readily available in your local Walgreens, Rite Aid, and CVS.

Lipo 6 Black Concentrate is arguably the most popular weight loss supplement from Nutrex, but the reviews seem to be a bit mixed.

The commonly cited benefits of taking Lipo 6 as stated by users were as follows:

Intense energy and focus
High level of intensity during workouts
Noticeable body fat loss
Elevated mood
Feelings of euphoria

And the drawbacks? Here’s a few direct quotes from reviews on my site:

“I ended up in the hospital for getting a vascular disease”
“Not worth the money”

A bit scary if you ask me.

Although Nutrex keeps their scientifically proven ingredient list simple with Caffeine, Theobromine, Synephrine, Yohimbine, and Rauwolscine, they do so in the form of a proprietary blend.

One capsule provides you with 294.5 mg of this special blend.

Caffeine is at the top of the ingredient list, meaning it makes up most of that 294.5 mg blend.

This may be where the negative reviews come into play.

Many people complained of caffeine-related side effects such as diarrhea and nausea.

With that said, like many of the products on this list, if you can’t handle caffeine then you may want to look elsewhere for a diet pill.

All of this in mind, I believe that the claims made in many of the reviews may be exaggerated as the proprietary blend doesn’t allow you to see the full dosage for each ingredient.

Caffeine is clearly the dominant ingredient.

Since you can’t see how much of each ingredient is in the formula, it’s completely possible that caffeine could make up 98% of the blend, for example, with the remaining 2% being a minuscule amount of the other tried, true, and highly effective fat burners.

Without complete disclosure, the customer doesn’t know what they are getting themselves into.

From the proprietary blend to the discovered fake paid reviews (which I explain in my full review), I’m not sure if I’d recommend this.

If you can find it on sale at Walgreens, Rite Aide, or CVS, then it may be worth giving it a try.

#12: Simply Garcinia and Simply Green Coffee Bean

As far as the Simply brand goes, there isn’t much to tell because there isn’t much information.

When the supplement boom for Garcinia Cambogia and Green Coffee Bean began, thanks largely in part to the Dr. Oz show (which put him under some criticism), many new brands began to pop up to get their share of the customers.

Simply is one of those brands.

It’s important to distinguish the science behind the ingredient and the reputation of the company, which I explain in great detail in my full review of this supplement.

You can read the review and check out my video here.

As far as ingredients go, the Simply brand stands by their title.

There is only Garcinia Cambogia and Green Coffee Bean in the respective supplements.

The science behind these ingredients favors one over the other.

In animal studies involving Garcinia Cambogia, obese rats did show a high level of fat oxidation and total body fat reduction.

In human trials; however, the jury is still out.

Despite several studies, no human subject has demonstrated a marked improvement in weight loss due to the use of Garcinia Cambogia.

Green Coffee Bean, on the other hand, has the scientific studies to back up its claims for supporting a healthy weight loss. Several studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of Green Coffee Bean in reducing overall body fat and triggering a total body weight loss.

Ingredients aside, what about the reviews for the Simply brand products?

It’s a task to find legitimate reviews on the Simply brand supplements because they are more well known for their free trial scam.

I explain this in greater detail in my video review.

Of the reviews I was able to find, these two supplements were nothing to brag about.

Most users complained that they didn’t see a difference.

Due to the lack of reviews on the internet and the company’s shady reputation, I would recommend trying a different in-store brand of Garcinia Cambogia and Green Coffee Bean.

Check out my full review on Simply Garcinia and Simply Green Coffee Bean, It’ll help save you a lot of time, energy, and money!

#13: Alli Weight Loss Aid

Alli hitting the market was huge news. Why?

It was the only FDA approved, over-the-counter weight loss aid. Think about that for a second.

Every dietary supplement you pick up will inevitably have this statement somewhere on the bottle:

“These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.”

Now, for the first time, an over the counter supplement for weight loss has the FDA’s approval (which was actually later recalled due to possible tampering).

Naturally, Alli flew off the shelves as the company claimed it could block about 25% of ingested fat from being absorbing.

This wasn’t just an empty promise.

Several studies were right there to back up the company claims.

Alli is scientifically proven and FDA approved but what about the real world results?

As you may have expected, the general consensus is that Alli IS all that it’s cracked up to be.

Numerous customers, who were also repeat buyers, raved about Alli.

One thing I did notice among the positive reviews was that many people intentionally limited their fat intake as they claimed it helped them lose more weight.

More importantly, it helped them avoid the infamous side effects, which I talk about below.

Like any supplement, the negative reviews are out there too.

Of the negative reviews, the most common claim is that the Alli of today is not the same Alli of 2000. Users claim the formula has changed, preventing the weight loss they experienced years before.

Other people complained about the dreadful side effects that made national news shortly after Alli’s release.

These side effects include:

Changes in your bowel function
Fatty/oily stool
Oily spotting in your undergarments
Intestinal gas with discharge
A feeling of needing to have a bowel movement right away
Increased number of bowel movements
Poor bowel control
Stomach pain
Nausea
Vomiting
Diarrhea

The looming threat of going to the bathroom in your pants while you stroll about your day is serious business and has driven many users away from the product.

The science is there and you can’t get a better backing than from the FDA. If you are feeling brave and believe you have the ability to limit fat intake so that you limit your social embarrassment, then I’d definitely recommend Alli to help with your weight loss.

You can find Alli for sale over the counter, without a prescription, at Walgreens, CVS, and Rite Aide all for the low-low price of $70.

Conclusion

While buying online can be the cheapest way to go, sometimes you want to be able to run out to your local store, hold the supplement bottle, and talk to someone about your purchase.

Because so many are available over the counter and in stores nowadays, getting them in person is a great choice, especially because it can be more trustworthy than using a credit card online.

Of all the options listed above, based on user feedback I believe the best products to pick up are SX-7 Black Onyx by Hydroxycut, Zantrex-3 High-Energy Fat Burner, and Alli Weight Loss Aid.These supplements also have the scientific backing to ensure their effectiveness.

Have you used any of these products?

Beachbody Performance Review – Supplements That Work?

The decision to get in shape means a lot of different things depending on who’s making that decision.

It could mean running on the treadmill and losing a few pounds.

It could mean diving headlong into a bodybuilding program with the hope of winning competitions.

Or it could mean anything in between.

And just like there are many different goals, there are at least as many ways to get there.

Some people make little changes and chip away at their progress.

Others change alost everything in their lives to fit around their new lifestyle goals.

It all depends on what method works best for you.

Beachbody Performance is a supplement line that caters to people going all in.

They put it out to provide every option you might need, taking the guesswork of your regimen. Just pick up one, two, three, or more of the Beachbody Performance supplements, or go with one of their ready made stacks, and you’re on your way.

Beachbody Performance Products

There are 5 different supplements in the Beachbody Performance Line.

Sometimes, you’ll find some winners and some losers within a supplement line.

Let’s them down and see what they each have to offer.

Energize

This is the Beachbody Performance Pre Workout supplement.

Its goal is the same as the goal for any pre workout – to help you power through with energy and focus, and to do so without causing negative side effects.

The primary active ingredients in Beachbody Performance Energize are:

Beta Alanine which has been proven to reduce the build up of lactic acid, allowing you to work your muscles longer before the onset of muscle fatigue.

Clearly, the longer you work, the better your results.
Quercetin which is a phytonutrient that acts as an antioxidant to help protect cells against the damages of oxidation.

This also contributes to endurance by delaying the onset of muscle fatigue.
Low Dose Caffeine from Green Tea.

Green Tea provides a couple different benefits.

It contains a reasonably low amount of caffeine for workout energy and focus without jitters.

And it’s been shown to increase fat burning independent of its caffeine content.

Beachbody Performance Energize comes in a Lemon Spark flavor using no artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners, and no preservatives.

Recommended use is to mix one scoop with water and drink about 30 minutes before your workout.

A single tub contains 40 servings and costs $49.95.

Hydrate

This is the Beachbody Performance Intra Workout formula.The idea behind it is that typical sports drinks contain too much sugar and other ingredients that can actually dehydrate you while they’re trying to do the opposite.

That, combined with the fact that water alone doesn’t provide enough of what you need, is why Beachbody Performance offers Hydrate.

It balances carbohydrates, water, and electrolytes so you can keep working out longer and harder.

The active ingredients in Hydrate are:

The Hydration Blend which is a balanced combination of minerals, including sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium that can replace lost electrolytes so you keep workout out longer.
Quercetin which can delay the onset of muscle fatigue so again, you can workout longer.
Low Dose Carbohydrates from Natural Sugars which provide the energy you need to keep pushing through, without the overload that can be caused by high sugar sports drinks.

Hydrate uses the correct ratio of carbohydrates to electrolytes to be best absorbed and used during your workout.

With more fluid absorbed into your bloodstream, circulation improves the delivery of oxygen and nutrients.

You have more energy as well as more stamina.

It’s recommended that you mix one scoop of Beachbody Performance Hydrate with water and drink it throughout your workout.

It comes in Citrus Cooler flavor and contains no artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners, and no preservatives.

A single tub contains 40 servings and sells for $34.95.

Recover

This is the Post Workout supplement in the Beachbody Performance line.It speeds muscle recovery and reduces soreness so that you can get back to the gym quicker, and when you do, you can work harder to get results faster.

According to Beachbody Performance, when it comes to muscle recovery, timing is everything.

And it’s hard to overestimate the importance of good recovery to your desired outcomes.

The effects you’ll notice when using Hydrate are quicker muscle recovery, less post workout soreness, reduced muscle breakdown, enhanced lean muscle growth, improve exercise adaptation, improved muscle strength recovery, improved glycogen recovery.

The key ingredients involved in achieving these benefits are:

Pomegranate Extract which is a natural recovery enhancer with it’s rich ellagitannin content.

Ellagitannin has been shown to reduce exercise-induced muscle soreness and return muscle condition back to normal quickly.
20 Grams of High Quality Protein split into fast, intermediate, and slow release varieties, so your muscle are constantly getting the muscle regrowth support they need to achieve a full, fast recovery.

The formula include whey and pea protein.
Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) which are an important component to nearly every post workout recovery supplement on the market.

These are present in the industry standard 2:1:1 ration of Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine to promote muscle repair and synthesis.

Recover comes in a Chocolate Chill flavor and contains no artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners, no preservatives, and the recommended dose is one scoop mixed with water and drunk within half an hour of finishing your workout.

A single tub contains 20 servings and costs $69.95.

Recharge

This is the nighttime recovery formula.It’s fomulated to help you make the most of your overnight recovery.

This is important because while you’re sleeping is when muscle repair and growth really take place.

You’ll get the best results if your body is in the right state for this to occur.

Recharge does this with slow release proteins, amino acids, and nutrients that include:

Tart Cherry which has been shown to help reduce muscle soreness that occurs due to exercise.

It contains anthocyanins which are phytonutrients that may have anti-inflammatory effects, which will improve recovery after athletic endeavors.
20 Grams of Slow Release Micellar Casein Protein which maintains sufficient protein levels to achieve effective muscle recovery throughout the night.
Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) at the most effective 2:1:1 ratio of Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine to promote muscle synthesis and repair.

Beachbody Performance Recharge comes in a Vanilla Dream flavor suited for drinking before bedtime to soothe while it wards off potential cravings for less healthful options.

Instructions are to mix one scoop with water and drink within an hour of going to bed.

A single tub contains 20 servings and costs $69.95.

Creatine

This is the most clinically studied workout supplement we have.Creatine Monohydrate in particular is the standard bearer for all other types.

What creatine does is increase the cellular energy in your muscles.

You can push more weight for more reps, which is the fastest way to bigger muscles.

There’s only one ingredient in Beachbody Performance Creaine, and that’s 10 grams of creatine monohydrate.

Beach Body went with the easy choice here.

Monohydrate is the most tested, most commonly used form of creatine there is, and the 10 gram dose is a decent amount for a maintenance protocol.

Beachbody Performance Creatine is flavorless.

Instructions are to add Creatine to your Recover drink, or to mix it with juice and take it within 30 minutes after exercising.

A single tub contains 20 servings and costs $19.95.

Beachbody Performance Stacks

In addition to single products, Beachbody pushes stacks in their Performance line.Their website offers a feature where you tell them what goals you’re trying to achieve, and they recommend the best stack to help you get there.

The choices include:

The Performance Stack which covers the basics and includes Energize for Pre Workout and Recover.

It sells for $109.95.
The Advanced Performance Stack which includes Energize, Hydrate, Recover, and Recharge.That’s basically everything but the Creatine.

It’s designed for someone looking for fast loss and lean muscle gain.

It sells for $199.95
The Utimate Performance Stack which is all 5 supplements, designed for someone who’s looking to increase muscle mass.It sells for $214.95.

Who Is Beachbody?

You’re probably more familiar with Beachbody from their numerous workout programs.The founders, Carl Daikeler and Jon Congdon, have been around since 1998, and they’re responsible for P90X, Insanity, Turbo Jam, and Hip Hop Abs.

They do business out of Santa Monica, Ca, and they’ve built several entire fitness systems for anyone at starting at any level, trying to make it to the next.

They started with the workouts, but quickly branched out by providing meal plans and Shakeology, a popular meal replacement shake, supplements, and an online support community.

They have clearly decided to take over the online fitness world!

Recently, they’ve also entered into the anti-aging beauty product arena with a brand called Derm Exclusive, marketed as an alternative to office anti-aging procedures.

Why Choose Beachbody Performance

According to the marketing materials, there are several reasons why you’d go with the Beachbody Performance Line.

The line has been meticulously researched by exercise physiologists, nutrition experts, athletes, and others in the field.

It contains only ingredients that promote the end goal, with no fillers or extras just to look or sound good.

Every supplement idea is run past their Scientific Advisory Board for feasibility.

The board includes professionals in fitness, nutrition, botanical science, herbal integrated medicine, and product safety.

Beachbody Performance Reviews

The Beachbody Performance line is relatively new, and as such, there’s not a lot of customer feedbackout there to get an idea of how the products are working in the real world.

There are a few, however, and they’re pretty positive.

Most of what we found relates to Energize, and here’s a good representative example:

“Most pre workout supplements are way too strong for me, and even after a tough workout I can feel the effects. This one is just perfect.

Gets you going for the workout, gets you through it, then it’s gone.”

On the other hand, there are plenty of complaints about Beachbody customer service, mainly regarding their free trial offers and subsequent monthly billings.

If you don’t participate in a free trial, this shouldn’t be an issue.

Just always make sure you read all the terms of any agreement you enter into.

Where to Buy Beachbody Performance

You can purchase the entire Beachbody Performance line through the Beachbody website.

They offer single product purchases as well as several different stacks.

You can also purchase some of the products at Amazon.com.

The prices seem to be a little cheaper, so this my be a viable option for someone on a tight budget.

Beachbody Performance Guarantee

Any product in the Beachbody Performance Line that you buy through the Beachbody website is covered by a 30 day money back guarantee.

If you’re not 100% satisfied, return your product for a full refund, minus shipping charges.

Beachbody Performance Pros and Cons

Advantages of the Beachbody Performance Line

It’s a comprehensive line that covers all the basics.
It’s made by a fully integrated company, involved in as many aspects of your fitness regimen as you want.
They stay away from unnecessary fillers.
There’s a money back guarantee.

Disadvantages of Beachbody Performance

Looking at the formulas, they seem pretty weak compared to what else is out there.
There aren’t very many Beachbody Performance reviews from customers yet.

This makes it hard to judge how well we can expect the products to work.

This is especially problematic with formulas that don’t look strong.
The prices are pretty high.

Conclusion

Beachbody programs and products are very popular, especially their exercise programs which are their bread and butter.

It makes sense they would get involved in the supplement market as well.

They’ve got a very captive audience.

With that said, I’m not convinced the Beachbody Performanceis worth getting involved with.

They talk about big panels deciding what should go into the formulas, but in the end, the formulas they came up with are surprisingly mediocre.

Pomegranate juice and Quercetin are good supporting ingredients, but they shouldn’t be the backbones of the formulas.

I would wait to get more customer feedback before I would advise anyone to go ahead with the Beachbody Performance Line of supplements.

Alpha Rax Xtreme Review – Does It Work?

Ever since a few high profile sports figures (think Ray Lewis of the Baltimore Ravens) got caught for using (or being suspected of using) deer antler velvet supplements, more and more readers are asking me to look into them.

These growth hormone increasing, athletic performance improving products are becoming all the rage.

One that recently caught my attention is called Alpha Rax Xtreme.

It’s made by a company called INSTA_LABS, and it’s exclusively available online. Its claim to fame is that it’s the only deer antler velvet supplement that gets its primary ingredient from the Alpha Deer of the pack.

Let’s break Alpha Rax Xtreme down and see if it warrants the attention it’s been getting.

Alpha Rax Xtreme Benefits

The benefits promised by deer antler supplements are many, and Alpha Rax Xtreme is no exception.

With 5 sprays twice a day, you’ll see:

Increased lean muscle mass.
Loss of body fat.
Notable energy increase.
Quicker workout recovery.
Boosted immune system.
Increased overall vitality.

Alpha Rax Xtreme Ingredients

The Alpha Rax Xtreme formula starts with their unique Alpha Male Deer Antler Velvet extract.They are the only supplement that used the velvet from the oldest, most mature deer.

They claim this deer’s velvet is where you’ll find the most IGF-1, which is the active component in deer antler velvet.

IGF-1 is found in the body already, but by increasing levels of the growth factor so closely related to insulin, you get a better regulation of sugar, leading to fewer cravings and a more balanced response to stressors.

Increased IGF-1 is also related to anti-aging benefits like more energy and fewer wrinkles in your skin.

And we haven’t even touched on the benefits to athletic performance and endurance.

Increased IGF-1 is connected to all of this, which is why it, and deer antler velvet have been banned by most sports anti-doping agencies.

Supporting ingredients in the Alpha Rax Xtreme formula are:

L-Arginine which is a precursor to nitric oxide.

When nitric oxide is increased, blood vessels open up to allow for improved blood flow.

Better blood flow provides increased oxygen and nutrient to cells and tissue throughout the body.

This leads to better athletic and sexual performance and often leads to improved cardiovascular functioning.
Epimedium which acts similarly to L-Arginine in that it improves blood flow, and also has an aphrodisiac effect.
Eurycoma Longifolia is thought to increase the amount of free testosterone by acting on Sex Hormone Binding Globulin.

SHBG attaches itself to testosterone molecules, making them essentially ineffective.

By decreasing SHBG, Eurycoma Longifolia increases free testosterone.
Tribulus Terrestris is thought to increase natural testosterone production by increasing the release of luteinizing hormone.

LH signals the testes to produce an increased amount of testosterone.

What’s Different About Alpha Rax Xtreme?

There are lots of deer antler velvet supplements flooding the market lately, so if one hopes to be successful, they should probably have a hook.

In the case of Alpha Rax Xtreme, its that they’re the only ones using velvet from the ears of the alpha deer of the pack.

They harvest only from the most mature adult deer of the herd.

Each summer, male deer shed their antlers and grow a completely new set.

After the new set is fully developed, it sheds the velvet that covered them as they grew.

Alpha Rax Xtreme harvests this velvet only of the most mature deer.

This velvet contains the sought after IGF-1

How To Use Alpha Rax Xtreme

The recommended dose is 5 sprays of Alpha Rax Xtreme taken twice a day, once before your workout and once before bed.

Hormone production is most active while we sleep, which is why most testosterone and HGH boosting supplements recommend you use them at night.

Alpha Rax Xtreme Side Effects

While there are no guarantees, Alpha Rax Xtreme claims that they have had no reported side effects.

With that said, I wouldn’t be surprised to find that Alpha Rax Xtreme causes the occasional headache or bout with nausea.

Where to Buy

At this time, the only place you can purchase Alpha Rax Xtreme is online through their official website.

A single bottle is a 30 day supply and costs $47.97. You’ll save if you buy more than one at a time.Buying 6 bottles costs $199.97, working out to a cost of $33.33 per bottle.

The order page mentions a 30 day money back guarantee, but it’s a bit misleading.If you read carefully, you’ll see that you can only return unopened bottles in their original packaging for a refund.

If you’ve opened a bottle and used it, the guarantee doesn’t apply.

This doesn’t strike me as much of a money back guarantee.

Alpha Rax Xtreme Pros and Cons

Advantages of Alpha Rax Xtreme

It comes in liquid form which is convenient for those who can’t or would rather not take pills.
It uses velvet from mature deer.
The formula includes some additional herbal and natural ingredients that may help with your hormone and performance profile.

Disadvantages of Alpha Rax Xtreme

We couldn’t find any Alpha Rax Xtreme reviews from customers who’ve used it.

This is never a good sign.
There’s no real money back guarantee.

Once you’ve opened the bottle, there’s no going back.
There’s no real scientific evidence to support the claims that deer antler velvet does what they say it does or that mature antler velvet is any better than younger antler velvet.

Conclusion

Anecdotally, there seems to be evidence that deer antler velvet may have some benefit.

But the claims at this point are a little far fetched.

And Alpha Rax Xtreme hasn’t convinced me that if you were to try deer antler velvet, this would be the one to choose.

Beastdrol v3 Review – Should You Use It?

The world of bodybuilding supplements is always changing, and that has as much to do with FDA regulations and bannings as it does with advancing scientific research and technology.

Take Beastdrol form Muscle Research for example…

First there was Superdrol, but it turned out to be very toxic to the liver, so it was banned and replaced by Beastdrol v2. Not long after that, Beastdrol v2 got banned.

But apparently, you can’t keep a good beast down, because Muscle Reasearch is back with Beastdrol v3.

They want you to believe Beastdrol v3 is every bit as effective as the original, but is that even possible?

There are lots of skeptics out there, so we’ll be breaking it down to find out.

Benefits of Beastdrol v3

By using Beastdrol v3, in a few weeks, you should see moderate, dry, lean muscle gains.

How much depends, of course, on your diet and workout regimen. But Beastdrol v3 helps with:

Increased muscle hardness.
Faster, more complete recovery between workouts.
More intense, hard-pushing workouts.
Increased vascularity and pumps.
Decreased body fat.
Minimal water retention.

Beastdrol v3 doesn’t convert to estrogen, and there are anti-estrogen components included in the formula as well.

That means you’re not dealing with gyno or with gains that disappear post cycle because they’re primarily water.

Beastdrol v3 Ingredients

The main component in Beastdrol v3 is 1-DHEA (aka 1-Androsterone) which converts to 1-Androstenediol, 1-Androstenidione and/or 1-testosterone.

Basically, what you’re looking at is an androgenic potency of about the same as testosterone with a somewhat higher anabolic potency.

It will not convert to estrogen, so you’re assured of getting 1-testosterone or 1-androstenediol.

Supporting ingredients include:

Fenugreek which can help support kidney function during your cycle as well as potentially improve athletic performance.

It’s thought that it can increase testosterone, but the clinical evidence doesn’t support that line of thinking.
Armistane which is an Aromatase and Cortisol Inhibitor which means even less worry about bloat and gyno as well as less cortisol to put your body into stress management mode.
Acacetin which is yet another anti-aromatase/anti-estrogen compound.
Medium Chain Triglycerides which may increase natural testosterone and reduce inflammation.

It also helps increase the assimilation and use of 1-DHEA and the rest of the ingredients.

How To Use Beastdrol v3

Each Beastdrol v3capsules contains 100mg of 1-DHEA. You’ll need at least 300mg to be effective.

Each bottle contains 90 capsules, so at a dose of 3 per day, a bottle will last through a 30 day cycle.

Depending on your experience, size, and fitness level, you can take up to 600mg (6 capsules) a day.

You’ll want to divide your dose into 2 or 3 smaller doses throughout the day, reserving your largest dose for about 45 minutes prior to your workout.

Beastdrol v3 Side Effects

One of the most dreaded side effects with prohormones is gyno.

With the fact that 1-DHEA doesn’t convert to estrogen along with the fact that there are several anti-aromatase ingredients, you shouldn’t have to worry about that.

If you’re prone to male pattern baldness, Beastdrol v3 may hasten that effect.

There’s also the potential for acne, headaches, aggression, and lowered good cholesterol levels.

The most commonly reported side effect is a general lethargy.

Most of these side effects are considered to be mild, but if you are sensitive to them or take it and begin to experience them, pay attention to your body and think about stopping if need be.

Beastdrol v3 Cycle Support

While it’s less important than with previous versions, it’s recommended that you support your Beastdrol v3 cycle with liver support supplements.

You may also want to add an extra estrogen blocker if you are prone to gyno.

You’ll also need to do PCT after your Beastdrol v3 cycle to maintain gains and make sure natural testosterone levels are back to where they need to be.

Stacking Beastdrol v3

You can use Beastdrol v3 alone or as part of a stack.

Muscle Research recommends stacking Beastdrol v3 with something more estrogenic like 4-DHEA for bigger gains.

Stacking with something like 19Nor-DHEA that converts to Deca would also increase gains and make them come quicker.

Whether you use it alone or with a stack, you won’t want to run Beastdrol v3 for longer than 6 weeks without taking a break.

Beastdrol v3 Reviews

Up till now, we’ve focused on what’s in Beastdrol v3 and what Muscle Research has to say about it.

But in order to get a clear picture, it helps to what people who’ve used it have to say.

And unfortunately for Beastdrol v3, this is where things start to fall apart.

I did find a few positive reviews scattered around, but most of what’s out there on the bodybuilding forums is that this version just doesn’t compare.

Granted, it’s not surprising, just disappointing.

As the FDA continues to ban ingredients that work (for good reason or not) it gets harder and harder to find supplements that do the job you’ve come to expect.

I look at it like this.

Muscle Research’s hands are basically tied.

I give them credit for trying, but actually, some of their customers wish they would just own up to the fact that Beastdrol can be no more, instead of trying to pass off this v3 as something just as good as the previous versions.

This guy sums up that feeling with his statement:

“I don’t see any anabolic ingredients in there.

It seems to be missing the good stuff this time around. Dhea is worthless. Especially at 100mg per serving.

Need to take at least 600mg ed would be 6 pills leaving you 15 days worth from tjis bottle.

From someone who has been a mr supps pH customer for years, i am disappointed and insulted by beast3LEAN--0. There jas to be a better way to beat this pH ban.”

Others say they believe it’s helping, but results are slow in coming.

Where to Buy

You can pick Beastdrol v3 up online through StrongSupplementShop or the Muscle Research website.

Prices are basically the same through both at $69.99. That’s for a 30 day cycle taken at the recommended dose.

Beastdrol v3 Pros and Cons

Advantages of Beastdrol v3

Muscle Research hasn’t given up on its popular prohormone line.
It contains several anti-aromatase ingredients and the 1-DHEA doesn’t convert to estrogen so gains are hard and dry.
There are some positive reviews from guys getting decent, yet slow results.

Disadvantages of Beastdrol v3

By most accounts, it doesn’t live up to its predecessors.
You still have to do in cycle and post cycle support, even though you’re not getting as effective results.
It’s banned by doping agencies.

Conclusion

If you’re a die-hard Beastdrol fan, you’re probably going to want to try Beastdrol v3 no matter what.You may get some results if you support your cycle with a solid diet and exercise routine.

But if you are looking for something reminiscent of the old Superdrol days, you will most probably be disappointed.

At $69.99 for 30 days worth of supplements is an awful lot to ask for unless it is truly a miracle supplement, so to speak.

Lumonol Review – Should You Use It?

Note:This is just a review. Click Here to visit the official Lumonol website.

Cognitive enhancement is taking the supplement world by storm.

Ever since Bradley Cooper killed it in the stock market and wrote an entire book in a night, millions are on a quest for that illusive “Limitless” pill.

Who wouldn’t want something that could increase productivity and seemingly turn you from a man of normal intelligence to a titan of industry and perfect specimen of intellect overnight?

The truth is that movie is fiction.

But it’s also true that there are substances that can help you think more clearly, focus more intently, and remember more vividly.

They’re called nootropics, and you’ll find them in supplements and stacks designed to help you achieve higher brain function.

Lumonol is a ready made nootropic stack supplement made by a company called Avanse Nutraceuticals.

First we’ll talk a bit about nootropics in general.

Then we’ll look specifically at Lumonol to see if it lives up to everyone’s very high expectations.

Click Here
to jump to my personal results with Lumonol.

What Are Nootropics?

You’re probably familiar with Adderall, the drug prescribed by doctors to their ADD/ADHD patients.

In the simplest terms, it’s a stimulant with additional benefits of calming your mind and increasing your focus so you can pay more attention, think more clearly, and remember things better and longer.

For years now, people without ADHD have been using Adderall off-label to get those same benefits so they can be more productive at school or work.

Nootropics are natural substances, available over-the-counter, that can mimic the effects of Adderall and other ADHD drugs.

So instead of buying and using Adderall illegally, you can go with over-the-counter nootropics and get similar results without the hassle and entanglements that come with trying to get your hands on prescription drugs.

You can buy nootropic powders and experiment to find a stack that works best for you.

Lots of folks have great success with this method.

But it does take a lot of time and attention to research all the potential benefits and drawback of each ingredient.

Another way to go is by purchasing a ready made formula in pill form.

That’s what Lumonolis.

Lumonol Benefits

The promise of Lumonol is that your brain will be firing on all cylinders.

You’ll see:

Enhanced focus and concentration.
Boosted memory.
Optimized overall mental performance.
Increased creativity.
Decreased anxiety and mental fatigue.

Lumonol Ingredients and How They Work

The backbone of any supplement is of course its formula.

In order to be effective, it has to put all the right pieces together to achieve that goal.

In the case of Lumonol, those pieces are divided up into the 3 separate functions they perform:

The Memory Blend totals 285mg and contains:

Noopept which is really the backbone of the whole formula.

It was first used to improve the memory of Altzheimer’s patients but has also been found to help those without degenerative disease.

It works through improvements in the AMPA and NMDA brain receptors responsible for learning and increasing the neurotransmitter acetylcholine for learning and memory.
Ginkgo Biloba which clears toxins and waste through increased blood flow.

It also enhances dopamine production for increased mood.

It does this by blocking MAO production which itself blocks dopamine release.
Panax Ginseng which improves memory and recall through increasing the function of 20 different glands throughout the body.
CDP Choline (aka Citicholine) which is necessary for the proper and full functioning of the brain’s neurotransmitters.

You can get it from food, but it is not generally abundant in the average American diet. (Some of the best sources are liver and dark green veggies so it’s no wonder.)

The Focus blend totals 500mg and contains:

Acetyl L-Carnitine which crosses the blood brain barrier and joins forces with choline to form acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter essential for all kinds of mental activity.
L-Tyrosine which complements all the other nootropic ingredients centered on focus by increasing neurotransmitter production.

It also reduces stress chemicals in the brain, allowing a more relaxed focus on the task at hand.
Phosphatidylserine which is a popular nootropic substance for its ability to directly increase focus through an increased rate of glucose metabolism.

Since glucose provides cognitive energy, the brain has an increased capacity for focus and concentration.

The Energy Blend totals 375mg and contains:

Guarana which is an all natural source of caffeine and other energizing compounds that produce alertness, confidence, and even an increase in metabolism.
Hordenine which increases dopamine by blocking Monoamine Oxidase (MAO) which otherwise breaks it down.

That dopamine increase keeps mood and motivation up.
Picamilon which creates a sense of calm alertness.

By facilitating the crossing of the blood brain barrier, it improves the functionality of each of the other ingredients.

In Europe, Picamilon is only available with a prescription.
Vitamin B12 which provides lasting energy and fights general fatigue.

The particular type of B12 used in Lumonol (Methyl B12) provides protection against neurotoxicity and reduces brain fog.

How To Use Lumonol

It’s recommended that you start out with a reduced dose of one capsule in the morning to assess your tolerance and mitigate any potential side effects.

You would follow this protocol for one to a few days, leading up to the regular dose of 2 capsules.

You can take it with a meal if you choose, but it’s best not to take Lumonol too close to bedtime as you may have difficulty falling asleep.

Lumonolshould be cycled using a 90 days on, 15-30 days off schedule to maintain effectiveness by managing tolerance.

The Lumonol Website

The official Lumonol website is extremely dense with information.

There are pages devoted to nootropics in general, to the specific ingredients in Lumonol itself, to FAQs, to testimonials, to ordering, and to other Lumonol products.

Lumonol Nova is devoted more to energy, mood and motivation and is based on a caffeine/theanine stack.
Lumonol Luna is about getting a good night’s sleep and all the benefits to cognition, weight loss, and overall health that come along with it.

Lumonol Side Effects

According to Lumonol themselves, you get all the cognitive benefits without any of the side effects.

But there are a few things we think you should be aware of.

Certainly, no supplement can claim to be side effect-free for everyone.

You may react negatively to the caffeine content for instance.

That’s why they recommend you start with a half dose.

With that said, Lumonol is generally safe for most users and I didn’t notice any side effects whatsoever from taking it. (more below)

My Personal Results

At the request of one of my visitors, I ordered a bottle of Lumonol to try out personally.

The visitor who asked that I try it had previously been taking Adderall for a couple of years, but decided to come off of it and go the “all natural” route.

She sounded pretty optimistic that I would like it, saying that “these pills gave me back my motivation, enthusiasm, energy, focus, and confidence”.

As soon as I heard that, I knew I had to try it.

I tried 2 pills for the first time on Thursday, and I have to say I was VERY impressed. It started to work really quick, and I could feel it’s initial effects kick in within about 20 min.

The best way I can describe it is…you know the feeling of “the fog being lifted” from your head after you’ve had that first cup of coffee / tea / latte / whatever it is you drink first thing in the morning??

Well, it was just like that, but MUCH more pronounced. It wasn’t like a sudden moment of clarity or anything, but it felt more like as the minutes ticked by I was getting more amped to get things done.

I’m not saying it got me amped like a Adderall or Vyvanse pill would, but I could feel the motivation surging much more then if I was just drinking a cup of coffee.

One thing I could tell that it has a good amount of Guarana Extract in it, because I could literally taste it on my tongue. It’s a weird aftertaste-like effect that almost has a coffee flavor to it. Sometimes that leaves me with a feeling of dry-mouth, but that wasn’t the case this time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I drink alcohol when taking this?

Not recommended. While there probably wouldn’t be any particular interactions with the ingredients in Lumonol, alcohol CAN and WILL affect your focus and concentration on it’s own.

Do they have a free trial available?

Not that I’m aware of. They do have a “rewards” membership program which entitles you to earn money when you place an order, get exclusive coupons and discounts, and even earn money by referring your friends.

How do I take it?

The directions on the label state that you should take 2 capsules of Lumonol on an empty stomach to get the best results.

Lumonol Pros and Cons

Advantages of Lumonol

Works GREAT for helping you get stuff done.
Doesn’t come on too strong.
No side effects for me. (insomnia, anxiety, etc.)
There’s a money back guarantee.
The formula covers a lot of the bases you’re looking for in nootropics.
There are lots of positive testimonials on the Lumonol website.

Disadvantages of Lumonol

It’s a bit on the expensive side.
It’s not available in stores.

Where to Buy

Lumonol is only available through their official website, www.Lumonol.com.

A single bottle contains a thirty day supply of 60 capsules and costs $59.97. Like most online supplements, you’ll save money if you buy in bulk.For instance, you can buy three bottles for $119.97, which means you’re only paying $40 per bottle.

Lumonol offers a 90 day money back guarantee that applies to one used bottle and all unopened bottles that you return.

As far as I can tell it’s not available in stores like GNC, Vitamin Shoppe, Walmart, Walgreens / CVS, or even Amazon.

Conclusion

All in all, I have to say Lumonol works quite well. Is it better than Optimind? I’m a bit torn on that one. The first time I used Optimind my experience was MUCH more dramaticthan it was with Lumonol.

Personally speaking, I think if you’re looking for something more “short-term” then Lumonol is the way to go. If you’re looking for something to work in the long-run, then I would recommend either Optimind or Mind Lab Pro.

At the very least, you can get some great short term effects from Lumonol that will instill confidence, increase focus and hopefully help you create a better work output and boost productivity.

The only downside I would say is the price. At $60 a bottle, it’s not cheap, at least compared to most other nootropic supplements.

Performix SST Suspension Super Thermogenic Review

https://www.supplementcritique.com/wp content/uploads/2015/10/139454_1 — Image cred: Lucky Vitamin

Losing fat can be an uphill battle.

Whether it’s for your upcoming competition, a day at the beach, or simply because you wanna drop those extra pounds that always seem to latch on over the holidays. Fat burners like Performix SST might do the trick (as you’ll soon find out), but it’s best not to put 100% of your trust in a pill to zap those pounds.

After all, we have a general idea of what else it takes to lose weight: a good diet and workout plan that achieves the right calories-in v. calories-out ratio.

But knowing and doing are two very different beasts.

That’s why the weight-loss industry rakes in billions of dollars every year offering help, advice, support, tricks and tips, and anything else they can manage to convince you might find success.

Some products focus on the general dieting population.

That’s where you’ll find most of your Dr. Oz fad supplements, like Garcinia Cambogia and Raspberry Ketones.

Others focus on the bodybuilding community for guys and gals who want energy and fat burning to help cut that stubborn layer of chub covering up their hard-earned muscles.

Performix SST Suspension Super Thermogenic falls in this second category.

Using their Terra Intelligent Dosing technology, Performix SST Suspension Super Thermogenic promises to provide energy, focus, and the fat burning you need to fine-tune your body, making it gym and competition ready.

Performix SST dosing technology.

Image cred: Performixdriven.com

What are the Performix SST Ingredients?

Just as important to the performance profile as the active ingredients are the phases of ingredient release, which we’ll get into after we list the ingredients, which is a proprietary blend that includes:

Citrus Aurantium (Synephrine) which is often thought of as a replacement for Ephedrine once it was banned.

It helps control appetite while improving focus and mood.

It even provides thermogenesis by increasing your core temperature and metabolism.
Yohimbineis another stimulant that carries additional benefits of fat release.

You should be aware, though, that the FDA recommends against the use of Yohimbine because it often causes jitters and heart racing, and sometimes causes more serious issues like a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
Ashwagandhafights against overall fatigue by acting on the adrenal glands.
Cholinehelps boost focus and sharpness of mind.
Niacinhelps keep you calm and focused.
Caffeinestimulates you in terms of both energy and metabolism.

It also suppresses your appetite and improves physical performance.
Mucuna Pruriensboosts mood by increasing the release of dopamine.
Huperzine Aalso improves mood and increases focus.
Vitamin B12is great for increasing cellular energy for a significant boost without the crash.

How Does Performix SST Work?

Most discussions of the Performix SST Suspension Super Thermogenic formula put a lot of focus on their Terra extended release technology.

It’s at the core of all Performix products.

Basically what it does is use special coatings encasing the active ingredients so they can be released over time and at the proper pH levels, working for hours longer than the competition.

This works in 4 phases:

Terra 1 is the Introduction Phase where thermogenesis is first stimulated.

Heat is increased and your BMR is raised.

This is when the Ashwaghanda, Caffeine, and Huperzine A are first released.
Terra 2 is the Chill Phase where your heightened BMR is sustained by the release of Yohimbe and Citrus Aurantium, and the breakdown of fat occurs.
Terra 3 is the Sustain and Block Phase where the body is manipulated to keep the fat burning BMR at that higher rate.
Terra 4 is the Transition Phase where the large dose of B12 is released, supporting sustained energy that lasts throughout the day with no crash.

Performix SST FAQ’s

How should I take Performix SST?

Performix SST Suspension Super Thermogenic comes in both liquid capsule and powder form.

For the capsules, it’s recommended that you take 2 in the morning on an empty stomach, and not to exceed 6 in a day.

For the powder, you’ll take 3 scoops mixed with water in the morning.

For both formulations, it’s not advised that you take them within 6 hours of bedtime, as the stimulants will make it tough to fall asleep.

Taking Performix SST at night is like chugging 2 cups of coffee before bed.

Image cred: Men’s Health

Can I drink alcohol while taking Performix SST?

You probably shouldn’t. . . and it just sounds like a shitty time anyway.

But seriously, the caffeine content alone is 200mg, which is like downing two cups of coffee.

Thermogenics, like Performix SST, are based on caffeine and other stimulants that are proven to increase heart rate.

Then you’ve got alcohol coming in as a depressant to slow it down.

So when you mix the two, bad things can happen. You might experience heart palpitations, nausea, headaches, etc.

https://www.supplementcritique.com/wp content/uploads/2015/10/xanax for nausea — Image: Xanax-wiki

Think of it like mixing energy drinks with alcohol (fat burners, like energy drinks, are stimulant rich). We all know how this ends.

You want to go full speed, but your heart and body won’t let you.

It’s like trying to drive 80 mph in first gear.

Stuff’s probably gonna hit the fan.

So remember, next time you’re at the club, maybe hold off on that Red Bull Vodka.

In fact, think twice about having drinks at all when you’ve got loads of stimulants coursing through your veins.

Stimulants and alcohol are a bad mix.<br><br> — Stimulants and alcohol are a bad mix.

A final thought on this. . . if you’re trying to lose weight, alcohol probably isn’t the best option anyway.

Sacrifice a few drinks and be better for it. Would a little bit of alcohol hurt? Maybe not.

But why chance it?

Can I take it if I have high blood pressure?

Here’s why I wouldn’t. . .

Many users of Performix SST have experienced increased heart rate and a spike in blood pressure.

If you already happen to run high, the stimulants in this supplement are definitely not going to do you any favors.

High blood pressure + more high blood pressure = a potential visit to the ER. Is it worth it?

Probably not.

You can read all about how high blood pressure is the “silent killer” here on heart.org

What are the side effects of Performix SST?

It’s no secret that fat-burners come with certain risks. “Unfortunately, even over-the-counter thermogenic supplements are associated with significant side effects, many of which can be life-threatening.” Source

Because of the high stimulant content of Performix SST, there are a slew of side effects that come with the territory. The side effects can range from heart problems, to insomnia, and even diarrhea and vomiting.

First off, there’s the caffeine, and we know the negative effects of too much of this stimulant.

Maybe you’ve even been in this user’s shoes once before:

Oh yes, and one of the main ingredients is Ashwagandha, which has been known to cause multiple trips to the porcelain throne.

Ashwagandha, a main ingredient in Performix SST, is known to cause upset stomach.

If the Ashwagandha doesn’t have you squeezing your butt cheeks together tighter than a trumpet, then leave it up to its old pal Huperzine A to do the trick.

As WebMD explains. . .

I looked through the Amazon reviews, and many complained of racing-heart syndrome and nauseousness after taking Performix SST.

As you’ll see below in the ‘User Reviews’ section, one user wrote “I felt like I was going to puke up my organs…” Ew, right?

Another user said “it intensified migraines. . . not what I was looking for!

Only took 4 pills and it’s on the shelf. Don’t know what to do with it.

If you experience migraines beware!”

Another guy experienced the classic “Oh SH#% I’m gonna die” symptoms:

One user of Performix SST feared for his life.<br><br> — At least one user of Performix SST feared for his life.

Let’s put that heart rate of 177 in perspective now. It’s fast. Really, really fast. Like Go Speed Racer fast.

You’ll see that 177 bpm falls in the danger zone for most adults.

Typical heart rates by age. 177 is nearly off the charts.<br><br> — Typical heart rates in BPM by age. 177 is nearly off the charts.

Which brings me to my next point. . .

Is Performix SST safe?

Define “safe.”

Kidding. . . well, we’ve covered the major side effects and talked about what you might expect while taking Performix SST. But is it safe?

That’s a difficult question to answer. It’s likely safe for most people.

But then again, you’ve read some of the horror stories experienced by others.

The makers of the supplement thought it necessary to include this on the label: “Do not use this product continuously for more than 8 weeks.” That should shed some light on the potency and power of the ingredients.

While people have actually died from taking similar fat-burner supplements, I haven’t heard of any deaths caused by Performix SST.

So there’s that.

At the end of the day, this supplement is definitely not safe for some people, but everyone’s system reacts differently to heavy stimulants.

So I really can’t say for sure that it’s safe or unsafe. It depends.

Maybe it’s not worth the risk though. . . that’s something that you have to use your best judgement on.

Or, better yet, seek expert medical advice before taking this or any other fat-burners.

Will it show up on a drug test?

No, Performix SST will not show up on a drug test, as it does not contain any illegal drugs.

Should I take Performix Pre Workout with SST?

You certainly can.

This lady below did, and she seemed to have favorable results.

Have a look at the video:

Performix Ion is the name of the pre-workout she talks about.

It get’s pretty decent reviews on Amazon, where it’s sold for $19.99.

Performix Ion pre-workout gets 4-stars on Amazon.

The woman in the video has been taking both products for a week and has already lost an inch around her waist.She’s also noticing “slightly bigger” biceps.

Overall her strength is increasing and the supplements together are helping her to maintain her energy levels throughout the day and get better performance in the gym.

She admits she’s not been on a strict diet, and knows her results would be better if she did.

She recommends taking both products, while simultaneously keeping to a healthy diet.

Also, if you’re of the lady persuasion and want to know the best female fat-burners, read all about ’emhere.

Who Makes Performix SST?

Performix, LLC are the makers of the product. They’re based out of Denver, CO.

I like that on their website they show pictures and have short bios of their team members, as many supplement companies choose to go under the radar and not share this info.

Performix SST vs. Hydroxycut

First, let’s get this outta the way.

There are several types of Hydroxycut, all made by MuscleTech.

These includeHydroxycut SX7, HD, and Pro Clinical.

But Hydroxycut SX7 seems to be the most popular in the group, so for a clean comparison, let’s compare Performix SST with Hydroxycut SX7.

Hydroxycut SX7 bottle.

Image cred: Amazon.com

What is the Price Difference?

Hydroxycut is the less expensive of the two, coming in at about $0.35 per capsule, while Performix SST typically costs no less than $0.49 per capsule even in their bulk size (120 capsules).

What is the Difference in Ingredients?

Both products contain caffeine and other stimulants, but the two truly stand apart.

Performix SST uses a special treebark extract called Yohimbine to boost calorie burning, as well as a Chinese herbal blend called TeaCrine to boost mood and performance.Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT) are also used, helping the body to burn fat.

Performix SST also contains Ashwagandha, a powerful herb (as we’ve established), while Huperzine A, an extract made from a Chinese moss, works to lower stress and help the brain communicate effectively with the muscles.

Here is the full list of Performix SST Ingredients:

Ingredients of Performix SST. — Ingredients in Performix SST.

Image cred: Testosterone Pills Australia.

On the other hand, Hydroxycut’s main ingredient is caffeine from green coffee bean extract (400mg!).

However, the makers of the supplement place a lot of emphasis on delivering “the strongest sensory experience” with a patent pending combo of Myristica, Salvia, and Ecklonia (a mix of nut, herb, and algae).

Here is the full list of Hydroxycut SX7 ingredients:

Amazon Reviews of Hydroxycut SX7:

People seem to like the stuff.

One reviewer was happy that he got all the energy without those pesky jitters:

And another user adds a little wisdom, saying you need to maintain a healthy diet if you’re looking for optimal results:

The negative reviews mostly complain of the supplement having no effect at all.

Call me crazy, but I would take “no effect” any day over the near-death experiences some of the Performix SST users complain about.

Money Back Guarantee

If you’re unhappy with either of these products and want to cash in on their money back guarantee, you’ll need to pay for return postage yourself.

See more details on the two brand’s return policies here: Hydroxycut Return Policy and Performix Return Policy.

Performix SST Vs. Performix SST V2X

https://www.supplementcritique.com/wp content/uploads/2015/10/screenshot 2018 06 16 at 11.22.29 — Image cred: Amazon.com

OK, by this point we should have a good idea of what to expect with Performix SST. But what about Performix V2X.

What is it and how does it compare?

The folks at performixdriven.com tout this V2X supplement as the bees knees when it comes to “unrelenting energy,” “advanced fat metabolism,” and “heightened mental focus.”

It’s a thermogenic, just like SST, but on steroids (proverbially speaking). . .

Performix V2X according to performixdriven.com

Below is the ingredient list for Performix V2X.

You’ll notice that this formula has 33% more caffeine than the SST formula.

How’s that for a kick in the pants?

It also contains their trademarked KINETIQ ingredient for faster metabolism.

Similar to the SST formula, the V2X works in 4 phases.

You can read all about it in this in-depth review of Performix SST V2X.

BUT. . . the price is out of this world. 120 capsules will set you back $130 if you buy from their website.

Performix V2X is an investment of epic proportions.

Or almost $80 if you go the Amazon.com route.

Overall the reviews of the V2X formula are positive, and in fact it gets better reviews than any supplement mentioned in this entire review.Most reviewers were pleasantly surprised with the incredible boost in energy the supplement gave them.

Have a look and see that 64% of users gave the product 5-stars on Amazon.com:

And users who reviewed the V2X formula on GNC.com echoed these sentiments:

Caffeine is strong but the burn goes all day because of the capsules.

Fantastic results after one month of use.

Worked great started with 1 a day for 1st week then went to 2 a day after gave me good energy without the shakes no crash later on in the day using for almost a month now lost about 10 – 12 lbs so far.

As you can see, most of the positive feedback comes from people who like the energy.

Negative Reviews

As for negative reviews, they fall into 2 major categories.

People either find it doesn’t work for them at all:

I tried the next day both pills with an empty stomach and nothing again!

No more energy and it didn’t suppress my appetite either.

Or they got terrible side effects:

Didn’t really do anything except get my heart and body racing.

Today I woke up took the two pills and about a half hour later went outside to run.

Couldn’t finish 3 miles and I kept having to stop and sit down from nausea and feeling like I was going to puke up my organs.

Another pretty common complaint is that Performix SST Suspension Super Thermogenic costs too much.

Where to Buy

You can find Performix SST Suspension Super Thermogenic at GNC which is a big plus for a lot of people. 60 capsules will last you a month when taken as directed, and the bottle costs $99.99. If you have a GNC memberhip, you’ll save a whopping $35.00 with a price of $64.99. At Amazon, it gets even better.They charge $53.29 for those 60 capsules, and that’s pretty comparable to what you’ll pay at Bodybuilding.com.

Performix SST Pros and Cons

Advantages of Performix SST

The formula is strong on energy and focus.
There’s plenty of positive feedback about the energy Performix SST Suspension Super Thermogenic provides.

Disadvantages of Performix SST

Yup, it can be very expensive.
The fact that all the stimulants are in a proprietary blend means we just don’t know how stimulant-heavy the formula is.
It contains Yohimbe which is known to cause negative side effects in some people.
Customer feedback shows that some people respond with jitters and nausea.

Conclusion

For some people, Performix SST Suspension Super Thermogenicprovides a nice energy level that lasts through workouts and all d For others, it does nothing.

For still others, it makes them feel sick with a host of other symptoms.

At the $99.99 price point, I’d advise anyone to stay away.If you can pick it up for less and you’re looking for sustained energy, give it a try with just one pill at first.

If you’re one of the lucky ones, you’ll be fine at one capsule, and at 2 you’ll feel great all day.

If not, you’ll get no results or worse.

If you’ve got disposable cash, give Performix SST Suspension Super Thermogenic a try.

If not, go with something with a more consistent tract record of success.

I highly recommend reading this super in-depth review I did of over-the-counter phentermine weight loss alternatives.

Some of these worked quite well, and others, not so much…

Many of them have claimed to be essentially legal otc adderall, which if true would be a real game changer.

X4 Labs Extender Review – Does It Work?

Probably the question I get most from guys visiting SupplementCritique.com is “What pill can I take to make my penis bigger?” It’s true.

Every guy wants a bigger dick, and they’re all hoping to get it by simply taking a pill.

They even hope that they can take the pill for just a few weeks or months and keep the growth forever.

I’ll tell you what I always tell them. Unfortunately, there is no such pill.

Supplements can be great for helping you get a solid erection that lasts and for lifting your libido to new heights.

But if penis enlargement is what you’re looking for, you’re not going to get it from a pill.

But that doesn’t mean you’re out of options and stuck with the size you were born with.

There are manual exercises that can help. There are pumps you can use.

But the overall best and most permanent results will come from using an extender device.

What Is The X4 Labs Extender?

X4 Labs Extender is a very popular penile extender device.

Basically how it works is by applying a constant, gentle tension to your member that over time can cause significant lengthening.

You wear the device each day for hours at a time, and you’ll see the incremental increases.

How Extender Devices Work

By consistently applying tension to stretch your penis ever so slightly, your cells begin to divide, creating more mass in the process.

For a clearer picture of how it works, think of the Long Neck women of the Karen Tribe in Thailand.

By applying consistent tension for years and years, the women’s necks become elongated, which to them is a sign of beauty and tradition.

By applying ring after ring year after year, some women attain a great deal of length to their necks.

The X4 Labs Extenderworks on the same principle.

You put the head of your penis through the hole in the base, you secure it using whichever method (the silicone harness or comfort straps) you find more comfortable and effective.

Then it’s the mechanism of the rods, springs, and tension screws that provide the tension that’s going to give you the growth.

You add or remove rods based on the size you are currently at, and the springs and screws adjust to provide the correct tension.

As growth occurs, you add longer rods.

The stretching breaks down body tissue, which then puts you into growth and repair mode, a lot like how weight lifting breaks down muscle tissue so it can be rebuilt bigger and stronger.

Benefits of X4 Labs Extender

If you’ve read any of my penis extender device reviews or discussions, you know that the most important feature for success is comfort.

X4 Labs Extender will only work if you wear it consistently.

And you’ll only wear consistently it if it’s comfortable.

For a lot of devices, that’s a big problem.

Finding an extender you can comfortably wear for hours at a time isn’t easy, which is why X4 Labs Extender is so customizable, with comfort velcro straps, memory foam padding, and no slippage silicone tubing.

In addition to all the comfort options, X4 Labs Extender offers a range of sizes and support systems which allows you to choose which combinations of options work best for you.

They’re got size options, comfort options, add-on options, all to make your fully customizable experience work for you in the end.

X4 Labs Extender Packages

The X4 Labs Extender offers several different packages ranging in price from $90 to $280. The $90 package (X4 Labs Deluxe Edition) is the base model, and has everything you need to achieve success.The pricier versions come with more bells and whistles as well as more add on bonuses, like DVDs, a a fancy case, and cleaning solution.

On the X4 Labs Extender website, there’s a comparison function that lets you choose 3 packages and compare them side by side.

This is a great feature as it allows you to really see what features are available so you can make the most informed choice regarding what you need and which one delivers the most value for you.

Money Back Guarantee

The X4 Labs Extender offers a unique satisfaction guarantee.

If you use it for 6 months and don’t achieve any growth, they’ll give you double your money back.

There are a few specific stipulations you need to adhere to… you have to register your device and keep track of your usages and progress. But I’d say it’s worth it.

For one thing, it helps you keep a record of your progress, which you’re probably going to want to do anyway.

And if it doesn’t work, hey, double your money back is a pretty good deal

Clinical Trial

The X4 Labs Extender offers another unique way to get their product risk-free.

If you sign up to participate in their clinical trial, they’ll foot the bill for your device.

Again, you’ll have to adhere to their stipulations, but it’s another option to make penis enlargement affordable, and you get to contribute to scientific study at the same time.

What About Peyronies and Add Ons?

A lot of guys who use extenders do so because they suffer from Peyronies Disease, which is basically an excessive curvature.

X4 Labs Extender has a few special Peyronies packages designed specifically for this issue.

They also offer an impressive list of add-ons to make sure your device works exactly as it should for you.

The Hybrid Support Base that comes standard is good enough for most guys, but X4 Labs Extender knows that no two penises are alike, so they offer the Quad Support Base and the Wide Girth Base add-ons if your size or shape makes them necessary.

X4 Labs Extender Customer Service

Between the Double Your Money Back Guarantee, the informative website, the live chat function, and the customer service call center, X4 Labs is very responsive to customer needs.

I haven’t seen a single complaint about how they handle issues when they inevitably arise.

X4 Labs Extender Pros and Cons

Advantages of X4 Labs Extender

It’s got several package options to suit the needs and budget of every guy.
You can purchase add-ons and replacement parts if you need them.
There are multiple comfort options.
There’s a double your money back guarantee.
You can get it free for participating in their clinical trial.

Disadvantages ofX4 Labs Extender

The X4 Labs Extender, like other devices, is expensive.

Conclusion

When it comes to extenders, comfort is king.

If it’s not comfortable, you won’t wear it.

And if you don’t wear it, it won’t work. X4 Labs Extender knows that, and offers all kinds of customization options so each guy can find the most comfortable situation for him.

An extender device can represent quite a financial investment, but in the case of the X4 Labs Extender, it’s a pretty safe bet.

Accelerin Review

Americans are constantly pushed to perform at the highest levels. Whether it be in the classroom, the playing field, or the bedroom, we all want to be the best.

We want to be, Limitless…

And when a pill comes along promising that it can help get you there, you listen.

One such supplement I came across that claims just that is called Accelerin, which is the focal point of this review.

But what is this supplement, and what makes it work so much better than the others? Well, it turns out that it’s likely NOT the wonder pill that it’s been claiming to be, and you’re about to find out why.

Click Here
to jump to the SHOCKING news we found out about this supplement…

What is Accelerin?

Accelerin is an all natural nootropic supplement designed to help boost stimulation for the brain, labeling itself as the “#1 rated all natural smart pill”.

This supplement promises a lot of things. Increased performance and energy, improved memory and cognition, and the ability to learn things at an astonishing rate.

The marketing makes it sound a bit like prescription ADHD medications like Adderal and Vyvanse, but that it’s completely all natural and 100% effective.

“So how does it do all of this?”, you may be asking.

Well, the ingredients list doesn’t look very revolutionary to me.

The Accelerin ingredientscontain all the usual suspects, including caffeine, GABA, Bacopa Monnier, Alpha GPC, L-Theanine, Phosphatidylserine, L-Tyrosine, Vinpocetine, and Huperzine A, as well as Vitamins B3 (Niacin) and B6.

What’s interesting to note is that this ingredients list is virtually IDENTICALto that of numerous other supplements, including Cogniflex, Adderin, and many others.

The fact that it contains L-Theanine and Caffeine is a positive sign, as this combo has been researched and proven to increase cognitive performance and mood.

Many of the other ingredients have been shown to help improve memory, but like I mentioned earlier, this is nothing “revolutionary”.

Accelerin reviewsare practically non existent. I searched around on various forums, looked on Amazon and reddit, and ran a search but came up completely empty.

The only reviews I found were actually for a completely different supplement with an identical name.

You can buy this on their official website, with the average price for a one month supply costing around $59. Discounts are provided for bu;k orders, with a “buy 3 bottles, get 2 free” promotion that knocks the price per bottle down to $32 each.

They do not sell Accelerin in stores like GNC, Walmart, Walgreens, or CVS, which is really no surprise since you more or less can’t find any nootropics supplements for sale with these vendors.

The Most Powerful Brain Enhancer in The World?

Like so many others I’ve written about in the past, I originally came across Accelerin while browsing through my Facebook news feed.

According to the suggested post I’m reading, the makers of Adderall (Shire Pharmaceuticals) recently came out with a “brain drug” that is literally the ‘most wanted mind enhancer in the world’.

As you can see from the ad, apparently this new “Limitless Pill” is now a reality after FDA approval, even though the FDA doesn’t “approve” supplements.

That pill is none other than Accelerin…

When you click the ad you’re taken to what appears to be the CNN official website, which at first glance looks REALLY freakin’ legit.

Why This is All B.S.

First off, Shire Pharmaceuticals did NOT make Accelerin as an Adderall alternative. I know this because I searched their site and found no mention of it. If this was really some breakthrough revolutionary product, you’d be hearing about it from them.

Trust me…

Second, everything about this CNN news article is completely fictitious. Let’s pick it apart to show you what I’m talking about.

1.) The real url for CNN is CNN.com, not boostingmentalhealth.com

This is further proven by the fact that if you try and click on any of the navigation links on this page, every single time it takes you to the Accelerin official website.

2.) It was NOT the inspiration behind the movie “Limitless”

I sound like a broken record when I point this out, but there are literally DOZENS of nootropic supplements that make this claim.

The simple fact is that NONE of them, including Accelerin, were the inspiration behind the movie Limitless.

Here’s the REAL tweet from the Limitless movie page. As you can see, no mention at all regarding Accelerin.

3.) It was NOT approved by the FDA.

First off, as we’ve already noted, Accelerin is a supplement. The FDA does NOT approve supplements, they approve drugs.

But let’s just imagine for a minute that they were responsible for approving supplements…Then how come there is no mention of Accelerin on their website?

Additionally, if you look at the very bottom of their website, it says it clear as day…”The product is not approved by the FDA”.

4.) There are ZERO news stories about it.

If this was widely regarded, as suggested in the fake CNN article, as being the most powerful brain enhancer in the world, then how come noone is talking about it?

Is it some big conspiracy that the government doesn’t want you to know about it?

Are the billionaires of the world, politicians, actors, and athletes hiding something from us? VERY UNLIKELY.

Recommendation

Companies like Accelerin use professional internet marketers to craft these fictitious stories and post them as sponsored posts on social media websites.

They look VERY realto the untrained eye, and there’s certainly no shortage of supplements that are doing this. It’s definitely intriguing to think that there might be some supplement out there that can give you Limitless possibilities, but I can say with 100% certainty that Accelerin is NOT the one.

Stick with proven products that CAN and WILL help you improve all of the claims this one is making.

Natural Home Cures Nopal Powder Capsules Review

It seems more and more people are looking for a supplement to work as a “cure-all” for all the aches, pains, and minor and major ailments they start to get as they get older.

It kind of reminds of of the ointments and tinctures you hear about from the days when the snake oil salesmen would come riding into town every couple of months to sell their wares.

But with technological advancements combining with natural remedies, you never know when you might stumble onto something truly beneficial.

That’s what Natural Home Cures Nopal Powder Capsules claims to be.

You might be familiar with the Nopal’s alternative name, the Prickly Pear.

It’s a very common plant in Mexico.

Let’s take a closer look.

Benefits of Natural Home Cures Nopal Powder Capsules

The ancient Aztecs used the entire Nopal plant for everything from firewood to religious rituals and making glue.

Today, we’re mainly interested in the fruit (aka tuna) of the plant and what it can do to improve your health. And according to the makers of Natural Home Cures Nopal Powder Capsules, it’s a lot.

According to their website, the benefits of Natural Home Cures Nopal Powder Capsules include:

Relief from pain and inflammation.
Help with the management of diabetes.
Increased energy.
Greater focus and mental clarity.
Relief from depression
Cardiovascular system support.
Cholesterol management.
Prostate support.
Weight control.
Vision support.
Hangover cure.

Natural Home Cures Nopal Powder Capsules Ingredients

The only ingredient in Natural Home Cures Nopal Powder Capsules is Nopal, but the Nopal plant contains betalaines.

Betalains found within the Prickly Pear plant were originally thought to just contain yellowish-orange pigment.

But it’s now believed that they carry anti-inflammatory properties, which along with antioxidant properties, are thought to be at the root of most of the benefits..

Aside from Beets, Natural Home Cures Nopal Powder Capsules may be your best source of these helpful betalaines.

Along with Betalaines, Natural Home Cures Nopal Powder Capsules contain several amino acids and minerals to provide healthy support for energy and your immune system.

The fiber in Natural Home Cures Nopal Powder Capsules is also helpful when it comes to controlling both weight and cholesterol, as well as managing blood sugar spikes.

How Natural Home Cures Nopal Powder Capsules Work

The anti-inflammatory nature of the betalaines in Natural Home Cures Nopal Powder Capsules is at the core of its effectiveness.

The natural cures movement is based in large part on the idea that chronic, low-level inflammation is a major cause of many ailments, and controlling that inflammation helps relieve them.

The amino acids provide healthful support in a number of ways.

As the building blocks of protein, they help synthesize lean muscle.

They also contribute to the body’s natural production of nitric oxide for better blood flow and HGH (Human Growth Hormone) for better overall health and rejuvenation.

Why Use Natural Home Cures Nopal Powder Capsules

Not all Nopal is created equal.

It’s primarily grown in Mexico, both in the desert lowlands and in the mountainous regions.

The ones you want are grown in the high altitude of the mountains.

The combination of nutrient-rich volcanic soil and mild, semi-tropical climate is ideal for cultivating the most nutrient-dense Nopal.

Most Nopal supplement manufacturers use Nopal grown in the desert, and they just don’t contain the phytonutrients you want in a quality product.

Both the cactus pads and the prickly pear fruit are smaller, drier, and less nutrient-dense than the mountain Nopal used in Natural Home Cures Nopal Powder Capsules.

In fact, they have very specific guidelines about which plants are good enough to be harvested.

They must:

Be at least 1 kg in weight

and

Have at least 6 tuna (the red fruit that grows on the plant.

Natural Home Cures Nopal Powder Capsules Side Effects

Though no supplement can guarantee you won’t experience any side effects at all, none have been reported with Natural Home Cures Nopal Powder Capsules.

If anything, you may get a mild headache or slight nausea from taking the pills.

Where to Buy

You can purchase Natural Home Cures Nopal Powder Capsulesthrough the company website.

A single bottle contains 120 capsules and costs $30.00. They often have special promotional offers where you can buy one and get one free.All orders come with a money back guarantee.

If you buy fewer than 3 bottles, you have 60 days to return your bottles and request a refund.

If you buy more 3 or more, your guarantee extends to 120 days.

Your bottles can be empty or unopened, but you must return them with their original packaging.

About the Company

Natural Home Cures prides itself on its unique customer service.

If you need to get in touch, your call is answered by an in-house customer service team.

You can even speak with the company CEO if you wish.

They guarantee that if he’s not available at the time you place your call, you will receive a call back from him within 24 hours.

I have to admit, I’ve never heard of that one before.

Natural Home Cures Nopal Powder Capsules Pros and Cons

Advantages of Natural Home Cures Nopal Powder Capsules

With one all natural ingredient, Natural Home Cures Nopal Powder Capsules is very safe.
It’s grown in the mountains where it can become as nutrient dense as possible.
There’s a money back guarantee.
It’s not very expensive.
It may help control blood sugar.

Disadvantages of Natural Home Cures Nopal Powder Capsules

There aren’t very many customer reviews to let us know how it’s working for people in the real world.
Natural Home Cures Nopal Powder Capsules and Nopal in general are being promoted as a potential cure-all.

There may indeed be benefits, but it’s tough to live up to cure-all expectations.

Conclusion

Natural Home Cures Nopal Powder Capsules fall into that category of being worth a try.

Natural cures used for centuries by primitive cultures do hold a certain appeal.

When you think about it, it’s pretty amazing what nature has provided.

I wouldn’t expect it to make you feel like a million bucks, but I wouldn’t be surprised if you felt a little more energy and a little less aches and pains.

NutraBio Arginine Pyroglutamate Lysine Review – Does It Work?

With all the scientific advancements of the last century, is it time to start believing that we can live significantly longer, significantly healthier lives?

In a lot of ways, we already do, but we’re talking about fountain of youth type stuff here.

These days, if you have enough money, you can get injections of synthetic Human Growth Hormone (HGH) prescribed by a doctor.

While these injections are primarily used for children and others with growth and development disorders, some doctors who specialize in anti-aging treatments use them to help their patients look and feel decades younger.

But as we mentioned above, if you’ve got enough expendable cash and access to an anti-aging specialist, you can benefit from this particular scientific advancement.

If not, there still may be hope.

What is NutraBio Arginine Pyroglutamate Lysine?

You’re probably familiar with L-Arginine as a popular ingredient in workout supplements.

That’s because as a pre cursor to nitric oxide, it helps improve blood flow to your muscles for better nutrient and oxygen delivery.

With more oxygen and nutrients in your muscles, they can work harder, recover faster, and get bigger than with less.

When you add Pyroglutamate to your L-Arginine, you allow it to cross the blood-brain barrier, which means that now your brain gets the same benefits of increased oxygen and nutrients that your muscles get.

For this reason, you sometimes find L-Arginine Pyroglutamate in cognitive enhancement supplements.

But there’s an even bigger potential benefit to a product calledNutraBio Arginine Pyroglutamate Lysine, and that’s its effect on HGH.

NutraBio Arginine Pyroglutamate Lysine and HGH

L-Arginine has long been considered to have an effect on the body’s natural release of HGH.

But there’s really very little evidence, most of it anecdotal.

That changes to a degree when you introduce Pyrogluatamate and Lysine.

There is some spotty evidence that using Arginine Pyrogluatamate with Lysine may increase HGH levels.

But there’s also evidence that it doesn’t.

At this point, without definitive evidence either way, it kind of depends on which studies you choose to believe.

How NutraBio Arginine Pyroglutamate Lysine Works

If you accept that you can increase serum levels of HGH using supplementation, here’s how it works.

L-Arginine, taken in large doses (10-30 grams) on an empty stomach stimulates the release of HGH.

Since HGH release occurs mainly while sleeping, it’s recommended you take it close to bedtime, about 3 hours after your last meal.

Partly because of the ability to cross the blood brain barrier, dosing needs with NutraBio Arginine Pyroglutamate Lysine are much smaller.

You only need 1200 mg of Arginine Pyroglutamate and 1200 mg of Lysine for the same effect.

Another reason for this drastic difference is the way all three molecules interact with receptors.

L-Arginine and L-Lysine compete for the same receptors.

Add the Pyroglutamate molecule, and that’s no longer the case.

Clinical Studies

The most important favorable study was done back in 1981 by Italian scientist A. Isadori, M.D. It was a small study of only 15 males ages 15 to 20, and showed that with L-Arginine Pyroglutamate and L-Lysine at these doses, subjects gained 10 times more HGH in their blood than with L-Arginine alone.

This translated to a 700% increase in serum HGH.

Unfortunately, this study has not been wholly replicated since then. So while there’s hope that this combination works, there’s not conclusive proof.

Perhaps even more importantly, no studies exist to demonstrate the positive effects of these increases in HGH levels.

Most of the big increases occur in young males, who already have an abundance of HGH.

With no deficit to reverse, it’s tough to see what benefits it might have.

We know theoretically what should occur, and with injections, it can be seen anecdotally.

But there’s no real evidence of the benefits you would hope for when using NutraBio Arginine Pyroglutamate Lysine supplementation.

NutraBio Arginine Pyroglutamate Lysine Ingredients

The supplement profile is very simple and uses only what it deems necessary to get the supposed benefits.

There’s:

1200mg of L-Arginine Pyroglutamate, and
1200mg of L-Lysine.

NutraBio Arginine Pyroglutamate Lysine comes in both pill and powder form so you can choose which one to use based solely on personal preference.

If you’re using capsules, take 4 on an empty stomach before bed.

If you’re using the powder, mix one scoop with water on an empty stomach before bed.

NutraBio Arginine Pyroglutamate Lysine Pros and Cons

Advantages of NutraBio Arginine Pyroglutamate Lysine

The formula is based on scientific belief and only uses the relevant ingredients with no fillers.
There is some scientific basis to the claims.
The ingredient profile and dosage levels are openly disclosed.
It’s inexpensive to try.

Disadvantages of NutraBio Arginine Pyroglutamate Lysine

The evidence just isn’t conclusive.
According to NutraBio Arginine Pyroglutamate Lysine reviews, the powder tastes awful and may need to be mixed with juice.

Where to Buy

You can purchase NutraBio Arginine Pyroglutamate Lysine through the NutraBio website.

A 150 gram tub contains 62 servings and costs only 16.99. The capsules are a little more expensive.

A 37-serving bottle costs $15.99. It’s also available on Amazon if you prefer.

Conclusion

This is a tricky one.I don’t believe there’s a simple way to significantly boost HGH in your body.

HGH secretagogues can help you with energy, fat loss, lean muscle retention, etc, but the evidence doesn’t support the elevation of actually serum levels.

With NutraBio Arginine Pyroglutamate Lysine, there is some hopeful evidence.

But it’s from 35 years ago, and it hasn’t been successfully repeated since then. (Not to mention the test was done on teenagers, who arguably don’t need to increase their HGH.)

With all of that said, NutraBio Arginine Pyroglutamate Lysine is inexpensive and shows some potential benefits in addition to HGH.

It may improve cognitive function, and you may get the simple L-Arginine benefits of better workouts and recovery.

All in all, if you have an interest in what might increase HGH, give NutraBio Arginine Pyroglutamate Lysine a try.

CogniFlex Review

A new wave of “brain drugs” has taken the supplement market by storm in the last year or so. These smart drugs, affectionately known as nootropics, use all natural ingredients to help mimic the effects of prescription medications.

One recent one I came across is called CogniFlex, a once a day all natural supplement designed to boost your productivity, enhance mental clarity and concentration, and achieve laser like focus.

The vast majority of supplements that we come across that make these claims usually end up being terrible. So, will this one be any different?

They are in high demand right now and because of that dozens and dozens of similar supplements are being produced, so choosing the right one that is actually going to have any effect at all can be a little trickier than just checking out the store shelf or going online.

What is CogniFlex?

Made by a company called Sure Science, this supplement is a patented “brain boosting supplement”, designed to help skyrocket your concentration, improve your creativity, and enhance memory recall.

Basically, they market it as an over the counter equivalent to ADHD medications like Adderall, Vyvanse, and Ritalin.

Among other claims, they promise to help you unlock 100% of your brains potential, help you to maintain your focus, and increase your energy.

So what’s in it that apparently makes it work so well? The ingredients in CogniFlex include the following: L-Carnitine, Rhodiola Rosea, L-Theanine, Bacopa Monnieri, Caffeine, and Vitamin B6.

Here’s a picture of the label:

There’s nothing really “revolutionary” about this formula. These exact same ingredients can be found in hundreds of other cognitive enhancers, pre workout supplements, and even weight loss pills.

I can say, however, that some of these ingredients when combined can produce some pretty solid nootropic effects.

For example, taking Caffeine with L-Theanine is a great stack to help you focus on boring tasks.

If you look at this Wikipedia article, you’ll see that in a 2014 systematic review, using caffeine along with L-theanine showed enhanced performance, including increased alertness, attention, and task switching.

One interesting thing to note is that they don’t list the amounts of each ingredient, but rather that they are part of a proprietary blend. That’s good and all, but if you are someone who is sensitive to caffeine you’ll have no idea how much it contains.

It could have as little as 50 mg, or upwards of 300 mg, there’s just no way to tell.

There is another company that sells a very similar supplement called Cogni-Flex (made by Douglas Labs), but they have nothing to do with the supplement in this review.

Deceptive Marketing and Fake Facebook Ads

The way I found out about this particular supplement was I came across an ad on Facebook that proclaimed “First approved Brain Super Drug, Online only”

Another ad I’ve seen to come across features Wolf Blitzer from NBC and some really hot chick with big boobs with a title screaming “We can now access 100% of the brain”.

The first time I clicked both of these, it took me to a page that appeared to be the CNN website, complete with links to their news, video, and opinions section.

A big feature ran across the top, with an image of what looks like a brain literally cut in half, followed by a headline that said this supplement appeared recently on the TV show The Doctors, and scientists were calling it “Viagra for the brain”.

However, I bookmarked the page and when I returned a few days later, now all of a sudden Cogni Lift was being featured on the NBC News website.

The layout was essentially the same, but they did change up a few things.

However, the simple fact is that this entire page is one BIG lie. Let’s pick it apart so you can see the REAL truth behind it.

1.) This is not an NBC news article, but what’s referred to as a “Farticle” (Fake Article).

How do I know this?

Well, because if you look closely at the URL, it doesn’t say nbcnews.com (the real site address), but rather it says locallytrustednews.com/brain/

Check it out:

I’ve seen literally DOZENS of other supplements that do the exact same thing, including Geniux and CogniQ.

2.) CogniFlex was NOT featured in a Forbes magazine article titled “Viagra For The Brain”.

As you’ll see here, the real Forbes article makes no mention of CogniFlex (or any other supplement for that matter), There’s ton’s of other nootropic supplements that make this claim, and they reference this very same Forbes article every time.

Except what they do is find a clever way to crop in the name of their supplement.

3.) It was NOT the inspiration for the movie ‘Limitless’ starring Bradley Cooper

When you were reading this article, you might have come across a screenshot that showed the Limitless Movie official Twitter page proclaiming Cogniflex as the “inspiration” for the movie.

Well, here’s the REAL tweet that was released by the Limitless twitter page.

I’ve seen literally DOZENS of other products doing this exact same thing, all claiming they were the inspiration behind Limitless.

4.) It was not studied by the Nottingham Clinical Trials Unit (NCTU)

One often cited claim about Cogni Flex (and various other nootropics) was that it was clinically studied by the Nottingham Clinical Trials Unit, located in Nottingham, UK.

This prestigious research facility conducts high quality trials of products used to treat everything from cancer to pregnancy, but one thing is for sure…It did NOT conduct a clinical trial of Cogniflex.

I searched their entire website and could not find one mention of the supplement.

5.) All the comments are fake.

If you still have the page open, scroll to the bottom and try leaving a comment. You’ll find that it’s virtually impossible.

“Why is this?”, you might ask…

Well, that’s because they are all completely fake. They post these fake comments, which are made to look like Facebook comments but are clearly not, in an effort to make you think “hey, look at all these people using it and getting such great results”.

But What About Their Free Trial??

One other thing I noticed is that the makers of CogniFlex are offering people a free sample of their product.

All you need to do is pay a small shipping fee of $4.97, and you’ll receive your free bottle in just a couple of days.

However, what you probably COMPLETELY missed was the part where they tell you (in VERY fine printI might add), that you have 10 days to try it out.

If you don’t call and cancel, Cogni Lift will bill you $139.97 for that bottle that was supposedly “free”.

What’s even WORSE is that if you don’t cancel, they will keep sending you another bottle every 30 days, AND bill you every month.

If you’re someone who doesn’t check their bank statements very regularly, you could be in for a bit of a shock.

You’re probably reading this right now and freaking out, but you should be fine…

How do I cancel this?

If you don’t want to be billed close to $140, you can either call them at 1-800-767-4440, or email them at contact@cogniflex.com.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it work better than Adderall or Provigil?

Very unlikely. Although they say it’s a healthy, all natural, and more effective alternative formula, I have a VERY hard time believing it can work better than synthetic amphetamines.

I also wouldn’t recommend you take Cogniflex and Adderall at the same time. If you do decide to try this, I would recommend that you take the Cogniflex on a day you don’t take your Adderall, and see what kind of effect it has on you.

Taking Adderall with ANY other stimulants (including caffeine) can have the tendency to create some really nasty side effects.

Was it approved by the FDA?

Nope, because it doesn’t have to be. The FDA only approves drugs. Since Cogniflex is an herbal supplement, it does not fall under FDA regulations.

Is it sold in stores?

I visited my local GNC, Walmart, Walgreens / CVS, and Vitamin Shoppe, and none of them seemed to carry it. I also looked on Amazon and eBay, and it doesn’t appear to be for sale on those sites as well.

As far as I can tell it’s only sold on their official website, http://cogniflex.com/

How can I get a refund?

They do offer a 30 day money back guarantee, but there are NUMEROUS terms and conditions that apply. For example, if you purchased it via the free “sample”, you’re out of luck.

They will NOT refund your money if you ordered a sample.

Additionally, if you opened the bottle you will also NOT get your money back.

Lastly, assuming you didn’t get a sample bottle and haven’t opened it yet, you have to send back the unopened bottle at your own cost, PLUS they charge you a 35% restocking fee.

So essentially what that means is you’ll pay close to $55, JUST TO RETURN IT!

Cogniflex Reviews – Where are they??

The one thing I noticed right off the bat in my research was the sheer lack of user reviews of this supplement. If it is as good as they say it is, wouldn’t people be sharing their experiences in forums, message boards, and tons of other places?

Well, luckily some people are leaving reviews on this site, just click here to see them.

It’s not a pretty picture.

I searched through all of the unbiased sites like Erowid, Reddit, and Snopes, and could not find one SINGLE person talking about it.

I don’t know about you, but that puts up a HUGE red flag for me. Searching through youtube, much of the videos I see here are nothing but promotions for the supplement, and lack any substance as to the effects you might receive.

Are There Any Side Effects?

Of course they tell there isn’t, but as with any supplement, including Cogniflex, side effects are possible. To give you an example, one of their primary ingredients L-Carnitine, can cause a wide range of side effects.

Although rare, instances of nausea, vomiting, upset stomach, heartburn, diarrhea, and seizures have been known to occur from high levels of L-Carnitine. (Source: 1)

Another ingredient, Bacopa Monnieri, has similar side effects which include stomach cramps, nausea, dry mouth, and fatigue. (Source: 2)

As far as mixing Cogniflex with alcohol, all the research I’ve done on alcohols potential interactions with the ingredients tells me that you LIKELY would be safe.

Of course, it’s always a good idea to check with your doctor regarding the safety of taking herbal supplements like Cogniflex, as it may also have the potential to interfere with any medications you may be taking.

Does It Work?

It didn’t for me. I ordered a one month supply of the stuff, took the suggested dose, and experienced practically no results. The only effects I seemed to get from it was a mild increase in energy and concentration, but no more than if I just drank a simple cup of coffee.

While I only took it for about a week, there was certainly no mind blowing sense of concentration or improved memory, no increased productivity, and certainly no improved creativity.

All of these seem to be their key selling points, but it just wasn’t happening for me. Compared to the 30 or so nootropic supplements I’ve tested thus far, I would easily rank this in the bottom 1/3.

Recommendation

Cogniflex “might” actually work for some people. However, by resorting to deceptive advertisements like this, I personally feel that this is just another fly by night company looking to bilk unsuspecting customers out of their money.

There’s no revolutionary formula, no glowing reviews (apart from their website), and certainly no reason that leads me to believe this is some secret brain pill that will give you mind blowing clarity and concentration.

My own personal testing has solidified my opinion of it.

I can’t tell you how many scams like this I see practically every day. You can do YOUR part by helping me (and your friends and family) spread the word on this…

Share / Like this page on Facebook, Tweet it, or email it to your friends…do whatever you can to save people like yourself from the hassle…

Testo Extreme Anabolic Review – Does It Work?

The marketing for Testo Extreme Anabolic comes off as very aggressive.

Right at the top of the product website: “Our Strongest Ever Testosterone and Muscle Enhancer!” says Dr. P.

Samson PhD in pink lettering against a space-age glowing dark blue mysterious background.

They say testing shows that this is the most potent formula available, scientifically researched, and backed by doctors.

They go so far as to say that the “clinical results even shocked the researchers.”Well, took a closer look at Testo Extreme Anabolic, and are ready to reveal what we found.

Testo Extreme Anabolic Benefits

The Testo Extreme Anabolic website lists a number of benefits you’ll get with this product.

Some are what you’d expect from any testosterone booster:

Increased lean muscle mass.
Targeted muscle strength.
Peak athletic performance.
Quicker muscle recovery.
Boosted libido.
No Post Cycle Therapy required.

And some are a little different than what we usually see:

Suitable for anyone 18 or over. They make a prety bi deal about this.

Most testosterone supplements, while safe for 18 year olds, don’t really benefit young guys.

Young adults are usually already loaded with testosterone, so natural boosters don’t do much for them.

Testo Extreme Anabolic claims to benfit even this group of guys.
Faster absorbing because of the sublingual serum delivery system. (We’ll talk more about that a little later.)
Extensive clinical trials with a very high rate of success.

The funny thing about that last one is that they mention these clinical tests over and over, but they never cite them directly or talk about what was actually found.

Who Makes Testo Extreme Anabolic?

The company behind Testo Extreme Anabolic is called Nutracell Labs.

They’re based in the UK, and they only make 2 products that I can confirm, Testo Extreme Anabolic and Decabolic Creatine.

It looks like they’ve been in business since 2012, yet they claim to have researched these products extensively over many years.

Surprisingly, they do provide contact information, including phone number, email address, and physical address.

Testo Extreme Anabolic Ingredients

The Testo Extreme Anabolic website promotes two products: Testo Extreme Anabolic and Decabolic Creatine.

Oddly enough, they list out all the ingredients in their creatine product, but don’t make any mention of what’s in Testo Extreme Anabolic.

We did, however, track that information down so we could provide it here for you.

It’s a proprietary blend, meaning amounts are not known, but following are the components of the formula:

Damiana which is a powerful herbal aphrodisiac.
Tribulus Terrestris which is thought to increase natural testosterone levels.
Glucosamine Sulfate which is typically found in joint supplements.
Inositol which is actually known to decrease testosterone in both men and women.
N-Acetyl L-Carnitine which helps transport fat for use as energy.
Saw Palmetto which supports prostate health.
Phenylethylamine which may help regulate serotonin and dopamine.
L-Arginine which, as a precursor to nitric oxide, will help improve blood flow through vasodilation.

Better blood flow helps with lean muscle gain as well as erection quality.
Avena Sativa which may increase free testosterone levels.
Methylsulfonylmethane which helps detoxify the liver.
Ginseng Root Extract which helps with stamina as well as libido.
Caffeine for its stimulant effect.
Green Tea Extract which is both an antioxidant and fat burning ingredient.

How to Use Testo Extreme Anabolic

Testo Extreme Anabolicis unique in that instead of pill or capsule form, it comes as a liquid.

Along with your bottle comes a syringe that you fill and use to squirt the serum under your tongue.

The idea here is that when you take a liquid sublingually like that, it absorbs into the bloodstream quickly and doesn’t need to travel through the digestive system before it can work.

Instructions are to use 5 ml once per day.

Who Does Testo Extreme Anabolic Work For

This product claims to work for anyone 18 years or older.

This is an odd claim for a testosterone booster because it’s usually understood that an 18 year old has plenty of natural testosterone and natural T boosters usually aren’t as effective until your levels are a little lower.

They offer no evidence or explanation as to why it would be so.

The only reason we can find is that they’re trying to carve out a niche where they can grab most of the market.

Since these products generally work best for guys whose levels have started to drop off, it looks like just a false claim made by Testo Extreme Anabolic.

Testo Extreme Anabolic Reviews

Testo Extreme Anabolic is available on Amazon in the UK, so as with most products sold on Amazon.com, there are customer reviews available. For this product, they are very mixed.

There are several 5 star raving reviews, and there are just as many 1 star disappointments sayingthis stuff does absolutely nothing.

As you know, Amazon reviews can be faked, and the raves are more likely to be the fake ones, so I would advise you to look at them with caution.

Testo Extreme Anabolic Pros and Cons

Advantages of Testo Extreme Anabolic

There are a few positive Testo Extreme Anabolic reviews on Amazon in the UK, but there is some suspicion that they’re fake.

Disadvantages of Testo Extreme Anabolic

The website is given to a lot of hype.
They continually talk about clinical testing, but there’s no actual information on any of these tests.
There’s no information on Dr. P.

Samson PhD, the doctor that endorses Testo Extreme Anabolic.
There’s no money back guarantee.

The website makes a “promise” of 100% satisfaction, but no mention is made of a return policy.
The ingredient profile is questionable at best.

There are a few helpful ingredients, but far more are missing (think D-Aspartic Acid in particular).
There are lots of negative customer reviews.

Where to Buy

The main avenue for purchasing Testo Extreme Anabolic is through the official website.

They push the stack with their Decabolic Creatine product, but you can buy a single bottle if that’s what you’re interested in.

A one month supply costs about $33, and it ships from the UK.You can also purchase it through Amazon in the UK as well.

Conclusion

You hear this a lot from me, and you’re going to hear it again this time.

With so many good natural testosterone boosting choices out there, there’s no need to buy something like Testo Extreme Anabolic.

It’s nothing more than hyped up advertising.

The promises of clinical studies are just not backed up, and neither are its claims of great success.

Unfortunately, it is much like so many other similar products out there in that they are all bark and no bite when it comes to actually acting as advertised.

Witht that being said, don’t let that discourage you from going out and trying others though because there are some great ones out there that don’t dupe you and use misleading marketing language to make you think you are walking into something entirely different than you really are.

Phallosan Forte Review – Does It Really Work?

Note: This is just a review. Click Here to visit the official Phallosan Forte website.

Over the years, I’ve tested close to a hundred different male enhancement products. Everything from pills, creams, and ointments, to pumps, weights, and extenders.

Some, like extenders, work VERY well, but requires a bit of a learning curve when you try to figure out how to use them.

Others, like water based pumps like the Bathmate, also work well but can only be used for a short period of time. They too can be difficult for the inexperienced user to figure out…

For the past few years, I’ve been recommending the Size Genetics device to guys that have been looking to gain length. The reason why?? Because it REALLY does work.

size genetics extender — **^ The Size Genetics Device**

However, I had a lot of guys coming to me complaining that they didn’t know how to use it, or it was creating pain, bruising, and discomfort when they were using it.

In my research to try and find a suitable alternative, I came across the Phallosan Forte device. Normally when I come across a product that starts claiming BIG gains in length and girth, I’m skeptical.

They’ll make a lot of claims, with basically nothing to back them up.

This wasn’t the case with Phallosan Forte…

This is the REAL DEALwhen it comes to penis enlargement, and also a VERY good substitute for the Size Genetics device.

What is the Phallosan Forte Device?

Phallosan Forte is a medically certified device that has been prescribed by doctors worldwide to help treat men with a wide range of sexual performance issues. It works almost like a cross between the Bathmate, which uses vacuum pump technology, and the Size Genetics device, which gradually “pulls” or “Stretches” the penis to a longer state.

I am going to talk a bit about how exactly it works below, but for your convenience I have embedded a video which details exactly how it’s used.

The following video contains content that is only suitable for a mature audience, so VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED:

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it do?

Basically, what the Phallosan Forte is designed to do is offer men the ability to increase both length and girth, help alleviate penile curvature (peyronies disease), and in the case of men with diabetes, can help with erectile dysfunction.

It’s been clinically tested and shown to give as much as a 2 INCH gain in penis size.

How does it work?

Essentially what it does is “pulls” the penis away from the pelvic bone via the glans (head of the penis), causing it to straighten and gain size.

How do I get bigger using this?

The size gains come from continuous tension on the body’s tissue which form micro-fiber fissures (don’t worry, completely pain free, it just sounds painful), similar to what happens when you lift weights.

New cell material is embedded in these fibres, allowing for both length AND girth increases.

The process kind of looks like this:

How would this help me if I have erectile dysfunction?

Through the use of the Phallosan Forte, the entire penis tissue has a stronger blood circulation and receives more nutrients. As we all know, erection quality is determined almost SOLELY by blood flow.

The more blood flow you have, the larger / more efficient your erection quality will be.

This can be heightened DRAMATICALLY by combining it with an all natural male enhancement pill called Vigrx Plus.

How long do I need to wear it for?

Typically you can expect to wear it for 6 – 8 hours a day, 5 or 6 days a week. As mentioned earlier, you CAN wear it while you’re sleeping, with many choosing that route.

It looks painful. Is it comfortable??

I can say with a resounding YES. In fact, when compared to the majority of other extenders I’ve tested in the past, I personally think the Phallosan Forte is the most comfortable one I’ve tested to date.

I talk about this a bit more in my comparison of Phallosan Vs. Size Genetics below.

How big can I REALLY get?

That answer depends on the individual.

You can’t just wear it for like 2 or 3 weeks and expect miracles.

It takes consistent use, and most users seem to gain an average of 1 inch in just a few months.

The longer you wear it, the longer your gains will be.

On a side note, the makers of Phallosan Forte had a clinical study conducted by a German Urology clinic. After 6 months, the highest result achieved was an almost 2 inch increase in a non-erect state, and a 1.47 inch increase in erect state.

Click Here to learn more about the results of this study.

Is it permanent?

The answer to this relates to the above. Generally speaking, permanent results with the Phallosan Forte are seen after about 6 months.

If you stop wearing it sooner then that, you will most likely experience a reduction in any gains you made.

Can it help if I have a curved penis / Peyronies Disease?

Yes. In fact, the use of the Phallosan is HIGHLY preferred to that of corrective penile surgery, which can be costly and can actually make you LOSE size.

Because of the nature of how the Phallosan works, over time you should gradually see a straightening of your penis.

Phallosan Forte Vs. Bathmate and Size Genetics

How is it different from the Bathmate?

The Bathmate uses vacuum technology to create a difference in pressure between the inside and outside of the tube. When it does this, blood is drawn into the penis (similar to an erection), cause the penis to be engorged / enhanced.

Over time, this engorgement increases and gives your penis a meatier / larger appearance. To be clear, the Bathmate works primarily to help GIRTH gains, while the Phallosan Forte works primarily for LENGTH gains.

The Phallosan Forte device works completely different from the Bathmate in that instead of vacuum therapy, it instead “pulls” the penis outward away from the body, causing it to grow LENGTH over the course of several months.

How is it different from the Size Genetics Device?

Size Genetics uses a very similar process to the Phallosan Forte, but it’s not NEARLY as comfortable. Essentially what the Size Genetics device does is it uses a plastic piece that wraps around the base of the glans (the head) of your penis.

Just like the Phallosan Forte, it pulls the penis outward away from the body, causing the same gains.

HOWEVER, as I mentioned above, the Size Genetics device can be VERY uncomfortable for a number of reasons:

1.) If the plastic noose is too tight around the base of the glans, it can cut off circulation. This can leave the head of your penis feeling very cold / numb because of the restricted blood flow.

2.) If the plastic noose is too loose, it can slip off very easily. This is not so great if you’re out and about running errands, and can cause parts to go flying around everywhere.

3.) Sometimes the comfort strap can cause chaffing, which can be very painful and cause you to stop wearing the device, eliminating any gains you’ve made.

This is what REALLY separates the Phallosan Forte device from Size Genetics. Because it uses a plastic condom to literally wrap the entire penis head, it virtually ELIMINATES any discomfort.

Chris from the website GoodLookingLoser.com actually has a very detailed comparison of the Phallosan Forte Vs. Size Genetics on YouTube, check it out below:

My Results With Phallosan Forte

I’ve already used TONS of male enhancement extenders, pumps, and pills, so I think I’m pretty much tapped out in the size department. With that said, I wanted to at the VERY LEAST wear this for a week or two so I could get an idea of its potential.

The first thing I want to note is the shipping was completely discreet. It came in a large USPS priority mail package, but there was nothing on the outside (or even on the shipping label) indicating that I ordered this.

Not only that, but I LITERALLY received it one day after ordering. Talk about fast shipping…

The makers of Phallosan provide very detailed written (as well as video) instructions on how to choose the right size, and how to put the thing on.

Unlike the Size Genetics device, which took me close to 2 hours to figure out how to put on, I had this thing up and running within 20 minutes of opening the package.

The first thing I noticed was it’s sheer comfort. I knew I had something strapped to my penis, but there wasn’t any strange “cold” and “numbing” sensation that I got with extenders.

I could also feel the gentle pulling sensation that I read about, and knew that this thing definitely had potential.

I tried wearing it under clothing and there was absolutely NO WAY anyone could tell I was wearing the Phallosan Forte. The strap does a very good job of seamlessly blending in with your pants, something that is not so obvious when your wearing an extender.

The only downside I noticed was when I had to take a piss, I had to take it off.

I wore it for about 2 weeks and could definitely see a difference. My penis was looking a bit longer and wider, and I felt as though blood was flowing more freely when I got an erection.

3 Reasons I Think It’s The Best

It’s SUPER comfortable, especially when compared to other extenders.
It’s REALLY easy to put on. After you get the hang of it, it takes less then 2 minutes to strap on.
You can wear it at night, which is a BIG bonus in my opinion.

Visit the Official Phallosan Forte site here: www.Phallosan.com

Pro’s

It’s VERY comfortable / pain-free.
Can effectively increase both length and girth, although you’ll likely see more length then girth gains.
Can be worn at night.
Can be worn discreetly under clothing.
Shipped discreetly, there’s nothing indicating on the box that you ordered a penis enlargement device 🙂

Con’s

You have to take it off to take a piss.
You can’t buy it in stores.
There is no money back guarantee, HOWEVER, you can return the device within 14 days after ordering it for a full refund.
It’s expensive.

Where Can I Buy It and How Much Does It Cost?

The only place that I know of is on the official Phallosan Forte website. There’s 3 different types of the Phallosan that you can order, they include:

Phallosan Forte: $379
Phallosan Plus+ (accessory to the Phallosan Forte): $120
Phallosan Forte & Phallosan Plus+ Combo: $499

It should be noted that all of the above come with completely free shipping worldwide.

Click Here to visit their website.

They also sell a wide variety of spare parts and accessories, such as spare tension clips, spare foam rings, protector caps, and several different sizes of sleeves.

Recommendation

For the longest time I was recommending Size Genetics for length gains, but I now think that Phallosan Forte is the way to go. It’s super comfortable, easy to use, fits nicely (and discreetly) under clothing, and you can even wear it to sleep.

Really all that you can ask for out of a product that is going to help you get gains besides that it works of course is that it is not going to cause you discomfort, and that is something that Phallosan Forte delivers on in spades.

Unlike other similar products that fall short, Phallosan Forte really does give hope and perceivable effects that make taking it not feel like a waste of time, hope and ultimately cash.

Couple that with the fact that it’s had a clinical study conducted PROVING it’s effectiveness, and I don’t see any reason why you shouldn’t give it a shot.

Cerastim Review – Should You Use It?

Cerastim Overview

Most nootropic supplements position themselves as the “Limitless Pill” capable of turning your brainpower on full-force and making you capable of superhuman feats of intelligence, focus, and motivation.

They conjure images of Bradley Cooper making millions in the stock market and writing entire books overnight. Cerastim is a bit different.

It’s made by Live Cell Research, and on their official website, they forego the dramatics in favor of getting right down to the business of telling you what Cerastim does and how it works.

Benefits of Cerastim

Cerastim promises to promote the overall health of your brain while improving memory, focus, and mood mainly by boosting the levels of neurotransmitters in your brain.

Decreasing neurotransmitters as we get older are one of the main reasons for age-related cognitive decline.

By supporting neurotransmitters, you can stave off that decline.

Cerastim Ingredients and How They Work

The Cerastim formula is a proprietary blend of 5 ingredients.

They say the Live Cell Research scientists worked for 5 years to put this list together.

If you look around at other Cerastim reviews, you’ll see a few different versions of the formula.

We took ours straight from the Live Cell Research website, so we know it’s current.

My guess is that the formula has gone through a few revisions in their attempt to get it just right.

What they have now is a 367mg blend that puts together:

Sulbutiamine which is basically Thiamine that can cross the blood brain barrier.

Sulbutiamine can prevent and fight fatigue.
N-Acetyl L-Carnitine which improves alertness and relieves stress.
Huperzine A which can increase levels of the neurotransmitter Acetylcholine.

It’s been used to treat symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease and improve age-related memory impairment.
Rhodiola Root which increases energy, stamina, and mental capacity.

It also helps the body adapt in times of stress.
L-Theanine which causes relaxation without sleepiness.

It counteracts the effects of stress.

Cerastimcapsules are vegetarian, gluten-free, synthetic additive-free, dairy-free, caffeine-free, and magnesium stearate-free.

The recommended dose is 1-2 Cerastim capsules taken with a full glass of water and a meal, preferably your morning meal.

Cerastim Side Effects

Cerastim is unlikely to cause allergic reactions due to the fact that it’s gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, and contains no synthetic fillers.

The website does mention nausea or stomach discomfort as a possible side effect when Cerastim is taken on an empty stomach.

It’s also been reported that taking Cerastim in the afternoon could possibly keep you up at night, so your better off taking it in the morning, with breakfast.

The Cerastim website doesn’t list them, but some of the ingredients are thought to cause certain side effects.

For instance, Huperzine A alone has the potential to worsen several conditions due to its effect of increasing mucus secretion.

These include: Epilepsy, Gastrointestinal blockage, Peptic Ulcers, slow heart rate or other heart diseases, lung conditions, or urinary tract or reproductive blockages. L-Theanine is generally well tolerated but may cause headaches, dizziness, or gastrointestinal symptoms.

Who is Live Cell Research?

Live Cell Research is the company that makes Cerastim.

They are a US company based in California.

Their URL was only registered in May of 2014, so they’re probably newly incorporated.

The fact that they only offer 2 products supports that claim as well.

Their website indicates that their primary mission is to create innovative dietary supplements that focus on health at the cellular level.

Their Cerastim product has been reformulated at least twice from what we can tell, yet there’s no explanation from Live Cell Research as to why this has occurred.

In fact, they don’t mention anywhere that the formula has changed at all.

We’d feel better if there were an explanation of their thinking and their reasons for making the changes.

One big plus about Live Cell Research is their focus on customer service.

They make a point of posting their customer service number and department hours, so customers can actually use their services.

So many supplement makers make it very difficult to get in touch when you need to. Live Cell Research makes it easy.

There’s also a 90 day money back guarantee on all your purchases.

Cerastim Pros and Cons

Advantages of Cerastim

The ingredients are all listed.
There’s a 90-day no hassles no questions money back guarantee.
The formula doesn’t contain caffeine.
Cerastim is very hypoallergenic.

Disadvantages of Cerastim

The formula keeps changing, which indicates that either the company or the customers (or both) are not happy with it.

If it worked, they would probably leave it alone.
None of the current ingredients are explained on the company website.

It appears that the old formula was described in detail, but this is not currently the case.

Perhaps that information will be coming later.
The lack of caffeine may turn some customers off.

We’ve found that nootropic users usually want that boost in alertness that comes with caffeine.

Where to Buy

You can only purchase Cerastim through the Live Cell Research website.

One 60-count bottle is a one month supply and costs $49.95. A 90-day supply sells for $119.98. If you want to go with a six month supply, that’ll cost $179.98. You’ll get free shipping on all orders over $50, so that means you’ll need to go with at least 2 months to get that deal.There’s a 90-day money back guarantee on all purchases.

Conclusion

Live Cell Research goes to pretty great lengths to make Cerastim appear to be a serious product.

We mention this because so many of its competitors use more flashy marketing techniques to get potential customers all excited about the exaggerated claims they make.

The approach they take with Cerastim is much more subdued, appealing to the customers’ more rational side.

It’s a good long term approach, and it makes us confident that Live Cell Research is not going to pull the plug any time soon.

But we’re a little worried about the continually changing formula, and the lack explanation going along with the changes.

If they’ve got the right formula, they shouldn’t have to change it.

On the other hand, with the 90 day money back guarantee, and the full disclosure of contact information, customers can try Cerastim with little to no financial risk.

That being the case, we feel fairly comfortable recommending that you give Cerastim a try.

Zynapse Review – Does It Work?

Zynapse Overview

Everyone is looking for the real “Limitless” pill.

It all traces back to a film starring Bradley Cooper where he takes a pill that unlocks previously unused portions of his brain and allows him to accomplish things no one ever dreamed of.

And while the extent of the benefits is still extremely far-fetched, the idea of improving your brain power is real.

The pills are called nootropics, and they really can help you focus, concentration, pay attention, and remember better.

There are some do-it-yourselfers out there putting together combinations of ingredients to their best effect. But there also ready-made choices too.

Zynapse is a ready-made nootropic supplement that promises to best them all.

Made by a company called Aeonetics in 2015, their goal was to make the strongest and most economical nootropic supplement available.

Let’s take a closer look to see if they accomplished that.

Zynapse Benefits

Nootropics got their start because people were looking for an alternative to prescription ADD/ADHD medications.

College students and others discovered that these medicine would help them focus in class, study for exams, and stay on task when writing research papers.

But taking Adderall off label is illegal and could potential be harmful or addictive.

Now you don’t need Adderall to achieve the same benefits.

According to the official website, with regular use of Zynapse, you’ll start seeing:

Increased energy.
Laser-like focus.
Elevated creativity.
Improved motivation.
Quicker mental processing.
Zynapse Ingredients

And it’s not just for students.

Anyone who needs that extra cognitive boost can find help with nootropics.

But not all nootropics are created equal.

A look at the formula can help us to know how successful Zynapseis likely to be.

Zynapse Ingredients and How They Work

The Zynapse formula is pretty comprehensive for a ready-made supplement.

The primary ingredient in focus is:

Noopept which belongs to the Racetam family of nootropics, which is known as the grandfather of all nootropics.

It can act as a stimulant that also provides a cognitive boost.

It’s preferred over its popular relative Piracetam because the effective dose is much less.

The large supporting cast includes:

Alpha-GPC which is a very bioavailable form of choline which increases acetylcholine in the brain which has been linked to improved cognitive skills, memory, and learning abilities.

In Europe, Alpha-GPC is used to treat Altzheimer’s disease. You can find Alpha GPC in plenty of other competing supplements, including Adderin and Geniux.
Centrophenoxine which is a form of DMAE that is better able to enter the brain.

It has been shown to be effective for reversing some of the negative effects of aging on the cognitive process.
Picamilon which is a combination of GABA and Niacin that can cross the blood-brain barrier.

The GABA causes an anxiolytic response while the Niacin opens up blood vessels, allowing better blood flow to the brain.
Vinpocetine which can enhance blood flow to the brain and is commonly used throughout the world to improve memory and possible ease the symptoms of or prevent the effects of Alzheimer’s disease.
Huperzine A which prevents the breakdown of choline which will improve memory and boost alertness and energy levels.
Bacopa Monnieri which protects the brain against age related deterioration.

It’s also used around the world to treat the symptoms of ADHD, anxiety and stress.

It works by increasing the growth of nerve endings, enhancing communication in the brain.
L-Theanine which helps decrease anxiety and stress without causing drowsiness.
Caffeine which acts as a central nervous system stimulant, making you feel more alert and focused.

The recommended dose is 1 Zynapse capsule taken once or twice daily.

Take one in the morning, and another in the afternoon if necessary.

They say the best results are seen over time.

Zynapse Side Effects

The Zynapse website does not list any common side effects, but some of the ingredients are known to cause certain side effects in some people.

For instance, Alpha-GPC can cause heartburn, headache, insomnia, and confusion.

Vinpocetine can cause stomach pain, nausea, sleep disturbances, nervousness, or flushing of the face.

Huperzine A has the longest and most serious list of potential issues:

It can slow your heart rate.
It can increase the severity of epilepsy.
It can make a gastrointestinal block worse by increasing mucus secretions in the intestines.
It can cause worsening of sores in the stomach or small intestine (peptic ulcers).
It can make asthma or emphysema worse due to increased mucus secretions.
It can worsen any urinary tract blockages, again due to increased mucus secretions.

The chances of these side effects are low, but they do exist and you should be aware of the potential.

Who Makes Zynapse?

The company that makes Zynapse is called Aeonetics.

They make one other product called Heligyn which supports and strengthens and lengthens telomeres with a potential anti-aging benefit.

There is very little company information available.

Given the fact that one of their two products was first put out in 2015, it’s probably a very new company

Zynapse Pros and Cons

Advantages of Zynapse

The ingredients are all listed and briefly explained.
The formula uses some of the better nootropic ingredients available.
It’s reasonably priced.

Disadvantages of Zynapse

There are no independent Zynapse reviews from customers who’ve used it.

This may be partly because it’s a fairly new product, but it’s also related to the fact that it’s only available through the official company website.
The ingredient dosages may be too small to be effective.

This is where reviews would be helpful, since clinical studies of proper dosages have not been performed.
I found no indication that there’s a money back guarantee.

A new supplement like this from a new and unknown company should offer a guarantee to make customer feel more assured while placing their order.
Each bottle contains 30 capsules.

If you go with t he 2 capsules a day dose, a bottle will only last 15 days.

Where to Buy

You can only purchase Zynapse through the official Aeonetics website.

A single bottle contains 30 capsules and costs $32.99. Buying quantities will save you money.Two bottles costs $58.99, while 3 bottles cost $78.99. There doesn’t seem to be a money back guarantee or any contact information provided for Aeonetics.

Conclusion

The Zynapse formula has some good components so it could be a pretty effective nootropic at a decent price.But at this point, we’re still left with some questions.

With only 30 pills in the bottle, and one of the recommended doses being 2 pills a day, Zynapse could end up costing twice as much as you initially planned on.

Also, without clinical tests, reviews, or a money back guarantee, we’re pretty much left with no real assurances.

Customers could be much more comfortable buying Zynapse, and we would be much more comfortable recommending it if some of these gaps were filled in.

Legion Forge Review – Should You Use It?

Legion Forge Overview

With the workout supplement world so overcrowded with choices, some manufacturers have decided to enter into little micro-niches where they can corner a small-ish market and become the standout leader in that arena. Take Legion Forge for example.

It’s designed specifically to support fasted training, where you work out while in a fasted state.

Made by Legion Athletics, it promises to give your body the exact support it needs to lose fat and get ripped using the technique of fasted training.

What is Fasted Training

First a short explanation of what fasted training is and what it’s specifically used for. The broad concept is very simple.

If you work out on an empty stomach, you’ll burn more fat than if you work out in a fed state.

The details are slightly more complicated, but not much.

After you eat, your insulin levels rise while your body digests your meal.

Once digestion is complete, insulin levels drop back down.

Fed training is when you work out while your insulin levels are still elevated.

Fasted training is when you work out after your insulin has dropped back off to baseline levels.

The primary benefit to fasted training is increased the mobilization of fat and its conversion to energy. In other words, you burn more fat. Secondarily, it’s been shown that blood flow in the abdominal region increases, which can lead to increased burning of belly fat.

There is a problem, however, with fasted training, and it’s that muscle breakdown rates are increased as well, leading to muscle loss over time.

A secondary problem is that fasted workouts tend to be less rigorous.

You just don’t have the energy, stamina, and drive you have with fed workouts.

Benefits if Legion Forge

Legion Forge counteracts the muscle breakdown that occurs during fasted training while supporting the fat burning goals that have you training in a fasted state in the first place.

Next, we’ll take a look at the formula to see if it supports these promises.

Legion Forge Ingredients and How They Work

The Legion Forge formula is short and sweet, containing only 4 ingredients:

Calcium which has been shown in recent studies support weight loss efforts.
Yohimbine which blocks the activity of alpha receptors in favor of beta receptors. Beta receptors mobilize fat for burning. Alpha receptors do not.

By blocking alpha receptors, yohimbine increases the fat burning activity of beta receptors.

Yohimbine is only effective however with baseline insulin levels so it only works in a fasted state.

As it happens, Yohimbine also improves exercise performance by fighting off fatigue, so you will experience more endurance, which is important in your fasted state.

Yohimbine is not well tolerated by everyone.

In too high doses it can cause unwanted side effects like elevated blood pressure and rapid heartbeat.

Legion Forge uses a dose of 2.5 mg per capsule, having decided that this is the best dosage to maximize performance and minimize side effects.
Hydroxy Methylbutyrate (HMB) which is a byproduct when your body metabolizes L-Leucine, theBCAA most responsible for protein syntheses.

HMB prevents muscle breakdown, which means faster recovery from workouts.

This is the ingredient that works to prevent the loss of muscle you may otherwise experience with fasted training.

Actually, HMB is more anti-catabolic than L-Leucine so it’s more effective at preventing muscle breakdown.
CDP-Choline (Citicholine) which increases levels of phosphatidylcholine, which improves focus and attention.

Legion Forge used this to counteract the potential negative effect on motivation that fasted training can have.

How To Use Legion Forge

The label instructs that you should start out taking 1 Legion Forge capsule per 50 pounds of body weight about 15 minutes before your fasted workout.

If you tolerate it well, you can increase your dose up to 1 capsule per 25 pounds of body weight.

That means that at max dose, a 200 pound guy would be taking 8 capsules before working out.

Because of the Yohimbe, I strongly recommend that you follow these guidelines, or start off even slower to assess your tolerance to the stuff.

Legion Forge Side Effects

The potential for side effects while using Legion Forge comes from the Yohimbine.

Each capsule contains 2.5 mg so you can start real low and find your sweet spot as you go along.

You’ll know when you’ve taken too much.

You’re heart will race, and you may feel anxious and irritable.

People with high blood pressure or anxiety issues shouldn’t take Legion Forge (or any yohimbing supplement) at all.

Who Makes Legion Forge?

Legion Athletics is the supplement company created by Mike Matthews, the fitness and bodybuilding guru turned author and blogger.

He created Legion as a way to provide an alternative to the slick marketing, proprietary blend using companies that dominate the market.

His philosophy is that clinically dosed supplements promoted with honest evaluations and reasonable expectations are what the community needs.

Where to Buy

At this time, you can only purchase Legion Forgeonline, but you do have several options.

You can go straight to the Legion Athletics website and pick up a 120-count bottle for $29.95. You’ll also find it at Amazon.com and a few other retailers for the same price.

Legion Forge Pros and Cons

Advantages of Legion Forge

The ingredients are all listed with their doses and benefits.
It’s specifically designed to capitalize on the advantages of fasted training.
The manufacturer provides diet and workout advice as well as supplements.
Most of the Legion Forge reviews I’ve come across are very positive.
It’s reasonably priced.

Disadvantages of Legion Forge

The full dose of 8 or more capsules is a lot to take.
It can get expensive if you take the full dose.

Conclusion

In the end, it’s the training that gets you the body you want, not the supplements.Legion Forge takes a training method – fasted training – and gives it the support it needs to be its most effective.

And according to the reviews we’ve seen, it’s working.

If you use fasted training and you want to get the most of its fat burning advantages without losing muscle, give Legion Forge a try.
