DMAA / OxyElitePro - The Good, the Bad and the Downright Ugly - More Powerful (+180% Perf.) Than You'd Think, but ...

Written by | published on
Image
Back in the day, when the original Oxy-ELITE Pro was pulled from the market, people paid crazy amounts of money for the bottles that were left on Ebay - a big mistake! Not because it would fry your liver, but rather because it's ' stim ' effects will - just as those of other DMAA products - turn against you, w/ chronic use.  You may (rightly) be asking yourselves, why I am addressing an (albeit famous) supplement that is no longer on the market in 2016 blog post. Well, the answer is simple. I still see people whining about how "awesome" this product was all over the web. People who wish that DMAA and OxyElitePro would come back and people who would be willing to spend at least 5x the original price for the few (long expired) bottles that appear to be traded on the black market. It's those people I want to advice: Even if you ascribe the liver damage as the result of stupid overdosing and acknowledge that other products appear to be far worse (García-Cort...

Science Round-Up Seconds: Follow-Up on Gum Arabic for Fat Loss. DMAA or Schizandra, Which Caused a Stroke in a Young Soldier? Low Doses of Resveratrol Better Than High Ones? Vitamin E Keeps Diabetic Brains Intact.

When it's served like this, Gum Arabic looks more like a healthy snack than a weight loss adjuvant. I guess everyone who has already listened to the podcast of yesterday's show or was even able to listen live, will have noticed that the audio quality - yet not my German accent - have improved significantly, now that Carl and I did eventually switch to Skype instead of the landline. I know, you have been telling me that all along... be that as it may, unless my Internet connection hangs up for whatever reasons we will continue to do the SuppVersity Science Round-Ups via Skype from now on. Apropos, there will definitely be another show next Thursday (assuming that the world did not collapse by then ;-) Follow up on Gum Arabic : Dosing & mechanism In addition to that, I was actually presently surprised how much ground we were able to cover. Allegedly, we have gone way over the scheduled 60min, and I guess I could have said a couple of additional words on the Gum Ar...

OxyElite, Jack3D and PowerFULL - USPLabs' "Own" Studies Find: The Products Are Safe and OxyElite Does Even Work!

Written by | published on

Image 1: When the sales of the "crown jewels" in their line-up is at stake, even the average supp company CEO becomes interested in "science" You know that I am a huge fan of supplement companies spending some of your (the customers) hard earned money on actual research. The latest "science offensive" from USPLabs, however, has a negative connotation. I mean, you should expect that you establish that your product is safe  before you throw it onto the market, right? Be that as it may, the way USP is currently under attack by the FDA and Johnny Pacheco, whose motifs for filing a class action suit against USPLabs are somewhat nebulous (cf. armytimes.com ), is still overblown and the petty controversy about whether DMAA aka "geranium" is or is not a natural constituent of geranium oil puts me off big time... so let's stop gossiping and take a look at the latest data from the USPLabs at the University of Memphis ;-) "We have got three...

VPX Clenbutrx Hardcore - Brief Overview

Written by | published on
Image
Being asked by a member of a Facebook page I visit regularly (hi Paul!) I thought I could publicly go into some detail on this purported " hardcore fat destroying formula ". So what do we have? Obviously, a proprietary blend , i.e. except from the person who mixes the product, nobody knows the exact dosage of the ingredients. The only thing they tell you is that the whole blend weighs 449mg and of these 165mg are caffeine (that stuff that has its name from coffee, you know!?). This is about the amount some of the milder pre-workouts carry as well and equals 2 smaller cups of coffee. The standard for thermogenics is about 200mg caffeine per serving and the fact that VPX cuts back on that is promising, because they must be convinced people will see results even without high amounts of caffeine (a very cheap ingredient) that might give some people the shivers. Overall, the formula is very similar to other VPX products. As far as scientifically proven thermogenic or adipolytic...
