SuppVersity - Nutrition and Exercise Science for Everyone

Figure 1: Driven Sports new aromatase inhibitor Triazole This is no typical SuppVersity stuff, because it is an N=1 sponsored "investigation" (meaning: take it with a grain of skepticism) into the effect of a dietary supplement. Nevertheless, I find it interesting enough to post the results a tester of Driven Sports new aromatase inhibitor Triazole posted on a thread of mine on the BB.COM board : Total Test went from 625 to 1032. Free Test went from 74.9 to 148.1. I'm posting from my phone, so I will have to post a copy of the results when I can scan them tonight. __________________ Driven Sports Rep www.getds.com www.drivensports.co.uk If these values aren't fake ( update: scans have been posted here ) this equals an impressive rise of about 65% in total testosterone (less significant in view of muscle gains) and an even more important rise of 98% in free testosterone . Although you certainly won't see similar gains as on an AAS-cycle, the l...

USP Labs refutes the rumors of Oxy Elite Pro being spiked After yesterday scare about USP Labs' newest fat burner Oxy Elite Pro being "contaminated" with alpha-methyl-synephrine, USP Labs has posted counter-evidence (thanks to Alex from the PN-Pinwall for letting me know) in form of a lab reported from 07/23/2010. According to the new data the sample that's been tested contained no methyl-synephrine at all. This, however, neither tells us whether the original lab report (cf. yesterday's news ) was real or just a mischievous attack on the companies good name ;o) As far as the "underdosed" herbs are concerned the USP Labs official puts forward exactly the same arguments, I've used in yesterday's blog , i.e. 'weight of extract is not supposed to be weight of active ingredient'. So, what? In spite of the counterstatement, USP Labs' credibility suffered and their competitors who keep tricking consumers into buying useless ...

Normally this would not be a topic for SuppVersity, but with my personal OxyElite Pro -experience being surprisingly productive (i.e. far more than one would expect from a combination of the ingredients on the label), I considered this LabReport worth posting: If you compare the lab-analysis with the ingredient list on the label of OxyElite Pro there is one compound which should not be in there, which is alpha-methylsynephrine; I will comment on the low does of Cirsium, Bacosides & Bauhinia in the body of this blogpost Originally, it appeared on the BB.COM forum where both poster, as well as image have been removed within hours. With about 17,000 visitors and more than 600 contributions the thread literally exploded within the first 24h. In spite of that, I could not find any of the otherwise (over-)active USP-Labs-Reps comment or at least refute the results of this lab analysis. If you have a closer look at the label of OxyElite Pro and compare what you read to the lab ...
