Hey SR, I am ready to submit a review on a very unique product made by USP labs. It is very interesting that there is actually natural compounds that "can" work like clen or other chemicals, etc. Perhaps not in its strenght, but definitely with the same purpose and target: The beta2-adrenoceptors.

I must give props to USP labs for creating such a unique supplement, but there is certain things I would like to discuss about this supp.

First of all, I thought the ingredients on this supp was only a whole bunch of exotic named herbs with no actual science behind them, but there is actual scientific proof of one of the ingredients in its effect as a beta2-adrenoceptor agonist: N-coumaroyldopamine and N-caffeoyldopamine.

According to PubMed "N-coumaroyldopamine and N-caffeoyldopamine were as potent as several well-known beta2-adrenoceptor agonists (salbutamol, procaterol, and fenoterol). These results indicate that N-coumaroyldopamine and N-caffeoyldopamine are potent compounds able to increase cAMP via beta2-adrenoceptors in U937 cells, and may have potential effects on human health." However, I was not able to find effective dosages for this effect.

The other herb Symplocos Racemosa Extract has anti-tumor properties and apparently is good for women's health. I was not able to find any study on this herb on its effects on weight loss, fat loss, beta-2 or anything related to fitness, body composition, etc.


Effectiveness(7/10): I started taking this at the beginning of my m-lmg/d-zine cycle- I started with 2 weeks of m-lmg by itself-.

I never felt an actual difference in body temperature or anything else that users claimed to have; however, I did notice that I was not getting any bloat or holding any water. Most of PH users know that M-lmg is a wet bulker and that one of its effects is rapid weight gain and a bloated/puffy look. I actually was not gaining any weight, but I started noticing an actual dryness all over my body. My muscles did not feel any harder, but I started looking leaner by week 3.

I am not sure I can't attribute any of the leaning effect to C20 because I was using a PH; however, I know that it helped me keep water weight off. In 3 weeks of a PH I only gained 3 lbs even though I was eating 1500-1800 calories above maintenance with a ton a of carbs. Most people claim rapid weight gain with M-lmg; I noticed nothing at all and it seems that C20 kept all the fat/bloat away from my body, specially the mid section.

Dosage(10/10): Simple you get 120 capsules, enough for a month supply. 2 caps in the morning and 2 later throughout the day. They are not big and they don't smell funny.

Sides(10/10): Ten meaning I had absolutely no sides from this. It never made me feel sick, I was not taking dumps right after taking it, no cramps, no increase in body temperature.

Value(5/10): This is where it falls short, this *** is simply way too expensive, specially because apparently you must run it for 8 weeks. The retail price is close to $60.00 and online prices around $45+. I cannot have this in my store because it is kinda hard to sell a supplement that doesn't really build muscle, effects are only noticeable if you keep track of everything that you know makes a difference in your body and you need to run for 8 weeks to see full results.

Overall(7.3/10): I think it is a good supplement. Unique in its nature because it is a natural beta2-adrenoceptor. It is a safe alternative to prevent unwanted fat and water bloat to be added to be added on a bulk.
It may help to increase BF% reduction on a cut and it does not raise your heart rate, BP or make you feel anxy or jitters like clen does.

The only problem I see with this supplement is that ridiculous price and that you need to run for 8 weeks to see full results. Think about adding this to your cutting stack? thats a good $90+ just for one supplement.

However, it is a good alternative if you don't want risk your health taking chemicals; therefore it is a considerable option.

Alright alright alriiiiight! *Kevin Hart Voice* Finally time to review me some Compound 20! First and foremost, I'd like to thank Anabolic Adam and everyone who had a part in the decision to allow me to give C20 a free test run. I really appreciate it, you have no idea how much that means, I now realize I have a higher level of respectability among the SR community than I realized. People need to trust and appreciate your reviews and input to let you try new stuff like C20. So thanks again, it also helps out a broke college student to get stuff for free ;) Lol

That being said, just because I got it for free, I'm not going to give this all 10's and call it the perfect product. Part of the reason I got this for free was because Adam thought I offered objective reviews, this will be no different.

Some precursor facts you should know before I review the specs of this product: ran this for a fun 30 days over winter break. While on break, I was home working out in my basement, so I was very limited in terms of how creative I could make my workouts. Some barbells and a broken set of adjustable dumbbells isn't the greatest lol. But I made it work, kept it simple and mostly did 13-15 sets/day, specialized bodyparts each day, and threw in abs and cardio regularly. Check my log for some more in depth views on my workouts. I was trying to semi-cut coming off of a successful lean bulk, where I gained 17 lbs and ended up at 179. My goal was to get to around 170, leaner with the same strength, this is where I thought C20 would come in handy. I ate about 2500 calories a day, had a whey isolate/dextrose shake postworkout, and ate every 3 hours or so. Kept protein intake to about 200-250g/day, fat to about 70g, and the rest from carbs, about 200g a day as well. The supplements I stacked with this was OxyECA by LeCheek, GPLC by Primaforce, and NOW Beta Alanine as well as the protein and dextrose I spoke about. Quick note, I got really sick right before the new year and kept that sinus infection/virus for a good 2-3 weeks, so that threw things for a loop but I tried my best to be consistent. Again, check the log for specs.

Value/Usage: Recommended usage is 2 capsules twice a day, 1 serving with breakfast and 1 servings 6-8 hours later also with food (with one being 1 hr preworkout). How I dosed it was similar, but from what I gathered by reading some of Petey's, Manimal's, and Adam's comments was that it would work fine by taking them upon waking and 1 hr preworkout on an empty stomach, so I dosed it as such. 4 caps a day will last you the full 30 days, and even though I got this for free the market price for C20 seems to be about $40-$50. This seems to be pretty fair, most specialty products hit this price range, and USP has a good track record with pricing things at market value.

Effects: Alright, now to the good stuff. As I mentioned, I took this with OxyECA, which is a thermo. There was a possibility of them having similar effects, but I saw some distinct effects from both separate products, and from previous use I know how thermos react with my body and could tell there were some distinctly different effects vs. just a thermo alone. So here goes: C20 made me really thirsty all the time. I read some literature online about C20 and this apparently is normal. But I was bordering on dehydration sometimes while still drinking a lot of water. I don't mean to be crude, but I judged this by how dark yellow my *** looked lol. I would get confused because I thought I was drinking enough but I eventually just drank more and that went away. The increased hunger others saw, non existent for me. The increased sweat though, big time. Noticed it mostly during cardio and after supersets, I'd be soaked halfway through my workout instead of at the end.

Some weird things I noticed, the first week to week and half, after I took my dose of C20 I would get a very sick feeling. I don't know how to explain it other than having tunnel vision and feeling light headed at the same time. This happened with each dose without fail until about the end of week 2, when ironically I ACTUALLY got sick lol. Also felt a slight increase in energy off these pills but nothing drastic, didn't expect it either because this is a stim free Beta-2 Agonist, not a thermo or anything like that.

As far as tangible effects, I didn't really feel any "muscle hardening" or crazy vascularity like the bottle said. I felt my muscles looked "fuller" occasionally, as well as some slight vascularity every now and then. But what I did notice (and this was probably the effect this had in conjunction with OxyECA) was a noticeable increase in metabolism. I didn't lose a crazy amount of weight (-3 lbs when all said and done, from 179 to 176), but I did notice that this was effective at keeping unwanted fat off during the dreaded holiday season lol. When my refeeds went into the super deep end and "Refeed" just became a name for a semi-binge, I was still able to lose weight. All things considered, I wasn't trying to lose THAT MUCH weight and since Christmas AND New Years served as hurdles, I still managed to lose some lbs.

All in all, I would recommend this if you want something to add to a good cutting stack like I did. I think it worked as good as it did because it was working in conjunction with the OxyECA. I would venture to say OxyElite and C20 would do just as well because to me both Oxy's are very similar. Seeing how this was a stim free fat burner and it worked well with me, I'm interested in trying Lean Xtreme, stim free with a completely different set of ingredients behind it.

But anyways, I enjoyed this product and appreciate the opportunity AnabolicAdam gave me to run it. Not your run of the mill product by any means, but I give it the A-Okay for those trying to cut.

After all, summer isn't that far away ;)

Hello SR community. Its time to give you my review on Compound 20.

I ran compound 20 during a cut stack that included Oxy Elite Pro, Raspberry Ketones, and my rat took Ostarine at the same time.
Over the course of 30 days I lost about 18 lbs total, a lot of which I attribute to heavy cardio and OEP, but I was using the Compound 20 in hopes of keeping strength gains and muscle mass.

As mentioned in previous reviews, C20 is supposed to mimic Clen as it is a Beta receptor antagonist.
This product claims to be good for keeping strength gains on a cut, and keeping fat off on a bulk. As you can tell, I tried this product with the first one as you can tell, and while I did have some results from this product, I feel like you need to run it for 8 weeks to get the full effect.

Dosing/Taste (9/10): Easy to dose at 2 caps upon waking and 2 approximately 8 hours later. It is supposed to be taken with food, and I tried to take my second dose about an hour before my workout whenever possible.
The reason Im not giving this a straight 10 is I had some very mild heartburt while taking this product that I can't attribute to anything else.

Effectiveness (7/10): The only reason I am giving this a 7 is because I didnt really feel the effects I could attribute to the C20 didn't start occuring for me until about the third week, and wasnt going strong until near the end. I did feel a slight thermo effect that I can contribute to this product because about halfway through I quit the OEP.
I believe that this could be a very good product if ran for 8 weeks and in a natty test booster stack, or in PCT to lean up and keep gains.
I also did experience above average libido while on this, but I did not get the vascularity that others have gotten and I dont really think this hardened me more than I was normally. I also did cut a bit of fat noticably from my stomach area, but I don't know if I can completely attribute this to the C20.

Value (4/10): This is where this product really struggles in my opinion. The Inner Circle offering was for 35 dollars shipped, but the going price for this product is approximately 45 dollars a bottle. This makes the EFFECTIVE cycle of 8 weeks cost around 90 bucks.
This is an extremely poor value, and if you run it for only 4 weeks for 45 dollars the value, based on results is even worse.

Overall (6/10): Hats off to USP labs for having one of the first products of this typle out on the market. I do feel like it is an effective recomping agent if run appropriately, but in all honesty unless you have money to burn this is a very expensive addition to a stack.
I would be very interested to see how this product goes in a natty test stack or in a PCT, but for everyday use I personally wouldn't get this again.

Hello, fellow supplement reviewers. Time to give you my verdict on USP's latest product: Compound 20. First and foremost, a huge thanks to the boys at USP- Casey (VP), AnabolicAdam (Regional DIrector), and of course Mr. Geissler (Top dog) for giving me the opportunity to beta test for them.

USP is out to change the game again with a completely new category to the natural supplement world. If you are familiar with Clenbuterol (an extremely powerful pharmaceutical Beta2-Agonist) then you will get the idea of what they tried to do with this supplement...Because they set out to make a natural, legal version of it. They call it "A Revolutionary leaning and hardening ***tail." Did they succeed? Well here is what I have to say after being selected to BETA test it for a month.

Ingredients: I honestly couldn't tell you a thing about what's in here because i've never heard of it. It was exciting to go through the beta without knowing what to expect. I felt it left little room for Placebo effect too.

Taste/dosing N/A: 120 count bottle. They are pills and you dose 2 caps twice daily with food, while recommending one dose to be a couple hours pre workout. I actually got the idea from Petey to dose on empty stomach a few times an hour pre workout. The first time I did this I had stomach issues and the second time the same but not so bad. After that I was fine but I noticed little difference in dosing with or without food.

Effectiveness 7/10: I'm in full force off-season bulk mode so the calories are at their peak and the training is balls to the wall. The first few times dosing, I had some hot flashes here and there but it was hard to tell where that was coming from since I still do my cardio in the off-season. They decreased shortly.
At about the end of the 2nd week I was finally starting to feel some good effects from the product. I was looking dryer with the occasional increase in hardness/vascularity throughout the day. Hardness and vascularity came and went but was more significant towards the end of the bottle. It felt as though the more I took it the better it was getting.
The biggest thing I noticed was my libido was through the roof. I was getting random erections throughout the day (even in class) and I felt like it gave me a little bit of a natural boost in my energy. This could have been an increase in testosterone. Along with that came the strength gains. Multiple PRs were broken during the month on this including all my compound lifts and a few iso movements (see log for further detail).

Checked my BF% at the start and the beginning and it looked as though it had barely gone up if at all, maybe 0.5% (hard to tell with calipers). My weight was up 5 pounds and fluctuated back and forth just under 200lbs, most of it being water. I was eating upwards of 300 grams of carbs daily while taking this with the exception of a few extra busy days on campus.

Value 8/10: Got this for free of course with the BETA test so I have to sort of go off a combination of the pre-order sales out right now and my results. I've never seen USP go unacceptably high on products so value is typically respectable from these guys.

Overall: I was happy with C20. The only thing was how long it took to fully kick in. Effectiveness was good but not of the likes of some previous supplements I've taken. I've heard of some guys slipping an extra cap in their dose so maybe that is something I can look into to make it get to work faster. I will take this again because It helped me make gains while staying lean. Should be exciting to have on a cut cycle.

C20 gets my blessing. Hope everyone has a great holiday season!

~LH~

Taste:10/10 its two pils a serving and only 2 sets of pills a day which is convenient.

Effectiveness 8/10 - I'm new to reviewing so bare with me and my spelling, but from what everyone knows by now is that the research for the ingredients are legit; some say this is a natural copy of Clenn, which is totally wrong because of use with my rat , but while taking this i could eat what i wanted to but i really had clean nutrition throughout, and it kept my metabolism of fats and an ultimate high so this is another reason i give this product an 8, now on to the weightloss/strength gains... weightloss will occur if you're on a straight cutting cycle but other reasons in that cycle make you lose weight to but from what i experienced with is just that super metabolism effect making me able to bulk more and not retain mat is what i would say is my favorite thing that this supplement to me so these 4 weeks I've taken it i was on c20/animal stak/ and Creatine HCL and mono i went from 216 to 223 in one month and only bloated once and didn't last long i will put that into what c20 helped with also. now onto strength gains.. i saw no strength gains, but i did feel incredibly swole everyday i took this i mean i could flex so hard i could've popped lol.
vascularity i couldn't tell because i was also taking NO3 CHROME so i don't have any definite data in that sense and lastly the only side effects that was prevalent was the immense heat literally it could be 68 degrees F in a room and i would be burning up but fortunately every time the heat only lasted a few minutes after one hour of ingestion of a serving. so the effectiveness can be felt which is always a plus when dealing with natty supplementation.


Value 6/10 complete *** value; however, when people start getting into supplements they should know that there getting into a pricey industry that is 300million strong. so i have not taken the 2nd cycle (8wk cycle) not because of money just because i didn't feel like it but many so its very effective but more me the c20 kicked in almost immediately after the first ingestion of c20.

Overall 7: its perfect in the keeping your fat metabolism in check (in healthy men over age of 18) and its incredible at keeping you swole(muscles feeling full and saturated) and the leaning process is indefinite if you're on a cutting cycle. but the price is high and the 8wk cycle plan is useless to the human body . so this brings down my overall but i totally recommend this product because out off all the natty supplements i have ever taken you actually feel a change which is rare in natty supplements usually.

regards, this is my first review and i hope its what your looking for and btw my credentials are that I'm a student at MSU and in Sports medicine and food science as my major and have been into the business for half my life so i would never lie to you guys but hope you take what I've told you and see what you do about compound 20!

Compound 20. A mixed bag right here. I used two bottles of this for my bulk/minor recomp for my offseason. I gave my review based off of 2 bottles of C20 because prior reviews proved that 2 would potentially be more beneficial and will give my review describing the dif between 1 bottle vs 2.

Dosing: I dosed this 2 with breakfast and 2 with dinner. But around week 3 I dosed an extra pill with PWO

Effectiveness 1bottle 7.3/10
This is a popular product and there isnt a reason to go into the ingredient profile, but C20 is a natural product thats supposed to work like clen and/or be a a beta2-adrenoceptor agonist, if you will. I did notice an increased body temperature on this almost immediate. Granted I picked up my workout intensity but I was sweating like a pig on this. Around week 3 my calorie count was way up, but I stayed at the same weight. Thats good because I wasn't putting on any fat. But also bad, because I was trying to put on pounds. But I can never complain about eating like hog and not puttin on fat. Week 4, I finally started to notice a little leaning effect. Perhaps this would have happend sooner if I started dosing and extra cap PWO prior to wk3 but who knows.

Value 1bottle: I got that bottle for $35. Not bad and I would rate my overall value higher than a 6 (and my 1st bottle Effectivenss rating higher) if that was the real price. But its not. And the effects weren't bad after one bottle either. I wish the leaning would have happend sooner but I cant argue with what I got.

Effectiveness 2bottles 8.9/10
I started noticing slight leaning around week 4 and that continued til week 6 then hit a snag. I dosed 1pill PWO on a consistent basis and noticed my midsection getting slimmer and more defined. My pants were looser and my custom made superman belt (buckle) had room to spare after I hit the last loop. My biceps and thighs looked better but my shoulders were the real winners on this product. Thats great considering I had a major shoulder problem in the middle of 2011.

Overall Value: 6.5/10
This product costs around 45-50 on average and it is recommended by the reviewers you take 2 bottles so that equals 90-100 bucks. I got my second bottle from Lockout for 45 after the 5% discount but still paid around 80 bucks for both bottles. Not the worst, but not the best so I gave it a 6.5. Some say the price is fair, others say its too much. I just think its slightly overpriced

Overall 8/10
This isn't a bad product at all and did what it claimed to do. The only problems were the price and the effective seemed to have stagnated a little after wk6. Looking back I should have just saved those weeks worth of pills for another time/cycle but now I know. Based off that, if the full effects of the 1st bottle kicked in faster perhaps I wouldn't have needed a second bottle as only 6/8wks (really wks 2-6)were effective for me

This product leaned me up quite a bit helped me become more defined leading up to Spring Break which I loved. Good for a bulk or a cut, I also wish this product was $10 cheaper (which would be around the average price of most other supps I got for my bulk) then the value and overall would be higher.

I purchased a bottle of Compound 20 after reading the reviews here and elsewhere, just wanted to give my 0.02. I just finished my first bottle and overall I rate it a 9/10 (would have rated it a 10/10 if it wasn't for the price).

The ingredients and science behind it seem legit. I'm not gonna cite PubMed in my review but other reviewers have commented on this already. I agree with them.

After finishing my first bottle without changing anything in my diet or routine, I noticed an overall muscle mass gain while at the same time getting leaner in certain areas such as my abdominals. My energy levels were up as well.

I always get GI issues, crashes, and nausea from supplements and stimulants but I did not get any of those with Compound 20.

I noticed gains after about 10 days. Slow at the start, but the gains kept coming with consistent use.

Overall, 9/10.

Im 32 and have been lifting on and off since I was 15 or so, seriously for the past 10 years. About 6-8 months ago I got tired of being big but fat and started to watch what I ate and really get back into shape (pre-marriage style.) I started to take OxyElite and dropped from 210 to 185 between October and January, nothing spectacular, but people noticed. I stopped taking all stimulants and fat burners for a break in Decemebr through February and decided that I wanted to gain a little bit of size but not get fat again. I read about Compound 20 and thought it was worth a try. I have tried a lot of supplements, and most of USP labs. I would give them mixed reviews as I dont think ALL of their products are stellar, but the ones that are, beat everything else. I read reviews that said buy 2 bottles and run for 8 weeks to see max results. I will say outright, if you can only afford one bottle, this stuff may not be for you because it does take time to start working.
Exercise and Diet: I normally lift about 5 times a week, 3 if I am in trial and too busy, but never less than three solid sessions. Cardio is not consistent. I hate that sh*t. Ill run once in a while, take the dog for a walk or bike ride, but nothing really as a fat burning workout worth mentioning. I do lift at a fast pace and get my heart rate high doing olympic lifts, drop sets, super sets and circuits.My diet is clean most of the time. Eggs whites, shakes, chicken, turkey, tilapia, some beef, brown rice and fruit here and there. I am not strict about my diet. I have a burger about once a week and sometimes Ill splurge on lunch. I am not on a diet, just try to eat clean most of the time.
Taste: There is no taste to the pills. They arent small, but they arent a problem to take either. No after taste or nasty burps or anything either.
Side Effects: This is the hard part. You wont feel anything, or at least I didnt. You wont feel hot, you wont feel all energizedd, you wont feel the stimulant jitters, nothing. But one day, 2 weeks in for me, you will notice that you are more pumped ALL the time. Youll notice that you can work out longer, not due to some cracked out feeling, but a very clean feeling like you body is able to put out or create more energy. You will be stronger and have more stamina. This is the time you can push yourself and really break some personal stats, I know I did on everything. You will also notice that you are fuller and more vascular, depending on if youre lean enough for that to show. Be honest with yourself about that too, dont take it out on the product. It did not impact my sleep if I took it later in the day. The one thing I do recall is that the first few days it caused some stomach discomfort which went away a few days later. I think taking it with food could help that.
Other Supplements taken: protien, vitamins, and amino acids.
Effectiveness: If youre on a diet, this product will blow your mind. You will be doing everything to drop weight and the numbers on the scale will not move! Youll be paranoid, but the mirror will help. I actually went from 185 up to 190, eating the same stuff and working out the same amount. Think about that. I was eating the same amount of food that helped me drop 25 pounds, working out the same, the only change was this supplement and I gained 5 pounds in a month! Solid gains. Hard to grow areas grew really well, vascularity and no side effects.
People have discussed that the product is pricey, but I think thats all relative. If someone came up to you and said "hey give me $100 and ill give you 5-7 pounds of muscle!" You would look through the couch to scrounge up enough change to get to $100. So to me something is only pricey if the results dont match up with the price. I think the results that this supplement produces are well worth the price. Just dont waste your money on other products, this one works.

First off let me say C20 exceeded my expectations while on C20 I noticed that after week three i9 woke up harder than the day befor my veins would be popping like crazy like many others i was skeptical about this product but it has worked for me if its the palcebo effect i dont care cuz each day i feel and look better im on my 7th week almost done with a second bottle i also been staking erase pro with this. my only complaint is it puts a pounding on the wallet

A few stats on myself to start out with:
5`9
175 pounds
15ish% BF
Lifting experience 5yrs+
6day lift schedule doing weakest body part 2x week

Lets get into it

Effectiveness:

I have to say it did take about 2 weeks to kick in and it did make a difference in overall appearance as it did pop my veins and harden my muscles up. It gave a leaning up look after about the fourth week. My diet has been pretty tight going in lower carb fashion with high protein. I am working on a second bottle as I wanted to see maximum effect and it is making a nice difference. I would say that you should use 2 bottles for full effect but it is costly to do so but buyer beware. I also liked that there where no side effects to speak of besides the cost and you don’t really feel anything just see it .

Overall:

I am a big fan of USP as I have used Oxy numerous times and had great results. I have lost over 100 pounds with its help. I tried compound 20 for this reason as I am know trying to tighten everything up. The product is a clen spinoff per USP claims and thought this would be perfect for my current goals. I have to say after running 2 bottles it gave me a tight look which I liked but I think a stack with something is in order with this supp to bring it to its full potential. I was thinking to even stack it with H-drol possibly for a good recomp stack. I think this would be perfect for a beginning of spring cut supplement stack of somekind. The only downfall of this stuff is price as it is very pricy to run 2 bottles about $100-120 depending on where you buy it. Just to add to this I don’t think this is good for someone who is on the higher side of the bodyfat as you wont be able to see its full potential.

Good luck
