Take a really big pill on an empty stomach after a night of drinking and woah, sick all over again...

Listen to the side effects of every FDA approved drug on TV and ask yourself if that is any better than anything you take.

Then you are in deep ****.

Everything will say This product has not been approved by the FDA to treat or prevent any disease or something like that, but as far as supplements go they are not really regulated. If you want to search on a product go to fda.gov and look up the product/company to find out what's going on. If a company is dinged by the FDA a few times for false claims and such, be wary. If it's on the shelves it's approved for human consumption for the most part... but that doesn't mean it's safe. Ephedra and Superdol and some other stuff were pulled because they weren't safe. FWIW, I knew a guy that died from ephedra abuse- so yes, you can really hurt yourself with supplements.

The PP Daily 3s have no ill effects other than that when you first start taking them you will piss flourescent because of the riboflavin, and when you have to piss you will have to RIGHT NOW. But that goes away.

As far as supplements go I'd make sure to only buy from quality brands for the more "edgey" supplements like NOx or Creatine. For vitamins and protien it's not that big a deal if you go cheap, but the more expensive stuff is certainly better quaility.

LTb1ow · 12-04-2008, 07:32 PM

Ok cool, I assume superpump is included in a quality brand grouping?

WildBillyT · 12-04-2008, 07:34 PM

Yes.

Sounds stupid but I know a guy who works/is connected with Rich Gaspari and it's on the up and up.

Granted, if I were you I'd take protien, a regular creatine powder, and a good multi before using that stuff.

LTb1ow · 12-04-2008, 07:36 PM

Like before each workout, or just before moving onto using it ?

pill of what? I always take my vitamins on an empty stomach when I wake up.

LTb1ow · 12-04-2008, 07:38 PM

It was a multi vitamin, maybe its just me then, cause man did it make me feel crappy.

You should take vitamins, have a good diet, and take protein on regular basis, not just before the workout.

LTb1ow · 12-04-2008, 07:38 PM

I really mean the creatine powder part, sorry.

got it; the only thing that makes my stomach upset is when someone cooks and uses entirely too much butter or oil. I guess its pretty good otherwise.

As do I. One vitamin, one joint pill, 30-40g protein right when I wake up.

I take it (I started again) 1/2 hour before I hit the gym. On my day off I stay away from it, some people take it. I guess it's a personal choice.

LTb1ow · 12-04-2008, 07:42 PM

Cool cool, any suggestions on the brand and or amount to take?

Again, same. Depends on your weight, too. If you are heavy supposedly you should not miss it on off days. I use Met-Rx's Creatine RTC. Mixes well, tastes good, and doesn't really have too many side effects on me. I used Cell-Tech (insert groan here) and that ****ed with my head a little more than I'd like, and wasn't any more beneficial. Plus it has that wacky diabetes warning on it.

of creatine?

Ehh, I take NOxlod... I know I blasted the product for its advertisement before, but that is not what I bought it for. It makes me perform better, mental or not, that is what counts for me. I do however think its over priced, and would not necessary recommend it. Although try it if you get a sample or something.

LTb1ow · 12-04-2008, 07:56 PM

NOxplod is bad news for me. Did it for about two cycles and just was not happy with it. Superpump is working much better.

LOL. Same with Met-Rx's stuff. I know I'm paying Big Kaz's car payment with my supp buys, but whatever. I'll pay for quality.

What was bad? What's different about Superpump, never tried that.

LTb1ow · 12-04-2008, 07:59 PM

I think, although not 100% on it, Xplod was liking pounding 10red bulls for me. Lots of energy, but more of a jittery effect. I got short tempered etc from it. Super pump isn;t that extreme but it still gives me a boost and focus to lift. Xplod = caffeine.

Tsar · 12-04-2008, 08:04 PM

Got it, well I get none of the wired effects from it, so there's no need to switch to superpump because it sounds "weaker". Damn it, I liked it when I felt wired!!!

P.S. coffee doesn't work on me either, is there something wrong with me?

LTb1ow · 12-04-2008, 08:06 PM

Redline. Try it. Pounded one of them(your supposed to drink 1/2 and evaluate) and then ran up a down escalator. But thats just me, I react real weird to caffeine.

Maybe one day, I have kinda given up on energy drinks. I just buy gum or some bread and chew/eat to stay awake, when I have to.

LTb1ow · 12-04-2008, 08:12 PM

I think its a fat loss product actually. It makes your body convulse to shed weight or something,....

It is. I just bought a case of their RTD's. Works great for me. Not really an "Energy Drink" like Monsters and such- you have to be older than 18 to buy it.

You don't convulse, it's just a stimulant.
