Proven Ingredients, Overpriced product.

I still don’t know what made me buy Powerfull. Either I was in a mood of experimentation or I received some unexpected money, I can’t exactly remember but I bought it and used it, at least this much I remember.
Ingredients:- 9/10
One thing I like about USP Labs is that their formulas are simple. Just two ingredients in Powerfull. Velvet bean Extract and chlorophytum Borivilianum, unlike most of the companies coming up with products that have hair of Chinese monkey, bark of a secret tree from Amazon forest (so secret that it actually doesn't even exist), 1,2 4, 5, 6 di pepile popine and what not. These two ingredient are time tested (time here is 5000 years) as they are extensively used in Ayurvedic Preparations (5000 years old medical science of India). In Sanskrit and Hindi they are known as kapikachchu and Safed Musli. Both are mainly used as men’s health supplements but have wide ranging benefits. So the ingredients are solid and have proven health benefits.
Effectiveness: 8/10
The main issue with this supplement is either it will work wonders for you or it won’t work at all. While velvet bean is always associated with growth hormone release, chlorophytum Borivilianum is mainly known as an aphrodisiac. Generally in Ayurvedic formulas these ingredients are often combined with many other herbs that increase each ingredient’s efficacy multifold. For me it didn’t do much. One reason could be that I was already taking these ingredients in other formulas. (chyawanprash – A herbal paste). It did help a bit in better sleep but apart from that I didn’t notice much difference. But that doesn’t mean that it won’t produce good results for other individuals. If you respond to these ingredients they have the ability to produce results that can far exceed one’s expectations.
Value: 6/10
Being an Indian, for me the value is maybe 2/10 as I can get the same ingredients with lots of other ‘powerful’ ingredients from the most trusted of brands at a fraction of the cost of Powerfull, but even for others the price ($40-$65) is too much. Also these products work best if used for longer duration of time that makes it even pricier.
Overall: 7/10
If you are left with any money after buying Protein, pre-workout, post-workout, Intra-workout, Creatine, Multivitamin, etc etc then give it a try but make sure you use it for 2 months because these are all natural products and take time to produce desired results. And keep in mind it may or may not work for you. And if all you get from this product is better sleep then I would suggest to buy some Melatonin instead.
| Pros: |
Cons: |
- Helps With Sleep
- Improves Libido
- Good Recovery.

- A Bit Expensive
- And A Bit Expensive (about 45 Dollars A Bottle)

Answer #7: | Thing is, with this product being discontinued because the FDA considered Sci-Fit innapropriate due to legal matters involved in the making of their products I would definitely reconsider searching for any product of theirs still available.
I would just get some Glutazorb like Lava said. Maybe regular glutamine powder by Optimum or Body Fortress. |

confused about 4 whey protein isolates.
Hi. I am looking for a good whey Protein Isolate.
Please help to suggest which one should I prefer from below 4:
1. Dymatize iso 100
2. ultimate nutrition iso sensation 93
3. nature's best isopure(zero carbs)
4. ON Platinum Hydro Whey

Answer #1: | Which can you pay for? What are your goals? Factor in price I say Dymatize iso. But rember Protein is a supp. |

Answer #2: | optimum hydro whey IMHO.
then iso-100
there are other whey isolate out there muscle feast makes a real good whey isolate, RCSS(ronnie coleman sig series) seems to be a legit company so his iso line may be worth a shot. |

Answer #3: | Lets immediately kick #3 (ISOPURE) out of the running. This is a terrible ion exchanged whey isolate protein. It completely denatures the protein and is cheap. As Petey would say, YOU CAN HAVE DAT DER ION EXCHANGE WHEY.
The Iso 100 and Hydro whey are pure hydrolyzed whey isolates. The top grade and fastest absorbing. Both of these are solid but very expensive.
Iso Sensation 93 is a standard isolate but is fairly expensive as well.
Personally I use Hydro Whey, strawberry is great and it is a great hydro and bcaa blend.
But honestly, you must ask yourself why are you considering just hydro/isolate proteins? You could be into a Isolate/Hydro/Concentrate blend for much cheaper and yield similar results.
Is there some digestion issue you are having with non-isolates? |

Answer #4: | Most of these are only minorly hydrolyzed to begin with, so Blades comment is on point. You're really not going to see that great adifference. PeptoPro is really the only protein that's hydrolyzed to a significant degree. I'm currently using RCSS Isotropic and can recommend it, it just takes some getting used to the taste. |

Answer #5: | Thank you all for your suggestions. Tiger.. I know protein is just a supp.
Blade and Lava.. Price is not an issue for me. But it should worth its price. I just care about maximum results in minimum time. looking for a protein which can be absorbed fast. My daily routine is very busy so can't afford time spent in digestion or any gas etc.
in short main points am looking for are: sure results, faster absorbing, worth its cost.

Answer #7: | I used to be a fan of Dymatize but a study has just been released on ISO-100 as having WAY less protein and much more carbs than on the label.
Just be aware of this.
I like ON products, they all work as they should. 100% Whey is geat and Hydro whey should be better.
Haven't tried the others. |

Answer #8: | If price isn't an issue then take a look at PeptoPro. It mixes clear in water so its pretty versatile in what you use it with. I get mine from either Protein Factory or True Nutrition. It's $30/lb, which is steep.
Although, I have to say that I will be switching to Isatori Bio-Gro when my Pepto Pro runs out. I'm testing that right now via the ER program and loving it.
I would think that Bio-Gro in your intra and Hydro Whey or IsoTropic Max post would be an excellent option.
Hope this helps. |

Alpha-T2.. Does it cause frequent bowel movements?
I just started this a few days ago and I swear I have had about 5 or more bowel movements a day. I was on OxyElite Pro for 2 months, Now I am taking a month off and trying Alpha T2. i I just want to make sure this is normal to have this many bowel movements a day on this. I also notice i have the chills with it. Other than that I have no other side effects.
|
|
|
Answer #1: | I don't know about the increment of bowel movements with Alpha-T2.
What I can tell you is that you probably shouldn't be taking Alpha-T2 if you have just finished 2 months with OxyElite Pro. I would just take the month off everything to do with fat loss supplements. |

Answer #2: | This tends to be one of he more frequent side effects of most fat burners on today's markets aside of jitters and crashing.
Generally, fat burners like alpha t2 influence metabolism in a way that favors fat loss. Consequently, this can have alteration effects of the digestive system in some users.
I would guess you are one of these users. If this is becoming too critical problem in the long term you may want to reconsider continuation of alpha t2.
