An AI that doubles as a fantastic sleep aid.

Recommended I want to thank SSGdimsmash and LeCheek Nutrition for giving me the opportunity to try this product for free as part of my first ever log! I really enjoyed using this, and was glad to have it in my stack during my cut. Although I received this product for free to log, please know that the below is my honest opinions based on what I experienced while using this.

==================================================

Ingredient Profile:9/10

==================================================

Simple yet effective profile of only three ingredients, and it's not a proprietary blend which is a big plus. Check out Joeflah's and hulkish1's reviews for more in-depth information on each ingredient. Here is the profile:

(Testosterone support/anti-aromatase)
Androsta-3,5-diene-7,17-dione - 75mg

(Sleep/GH Support)
Velvet Bean (standarized L-Dopa 99%) - 800mg

(Liver Support)
Milk Thistle - 360mg

==================================================

How I used this:

==================================================

I used this as a standalone AI/natty test booster during my recent cut. I was also taking the basic staples such as a multi, pre-workout, Vitamin C, fish oil, whey protein, and creatine as well as BCAA's throughout the duration of the log.

Dosing was incredibly simple and easy with AD3: I took 2 caps on an empty stomach everyday before I went to bed.

==================================================

Effectiveness: 9/10

==================================================

Prior to using AD3 PCT, the only other AI I had used before was DS Triazole (whose profile is very different), so I wasn't completely sure what to expect from this. I was very pleasantly surprised. During the 30 days I was taking this, I lost 3 lbs and somewhere between 1-3% bodyfat (according to electrical impedance tests) while increasing strength in all lifts. While I certainly can't contribute all the progress I made to this supplement, I do believe it played its part in helping me along the way. Please see my log in the Supplement Journals section of the forum for more details and a daily account of my diet and workout routine while taking this. The below is a general outline of my experience.

--------------------------------------------------

Increased Sleep Quality: 10/10

--------------------------------------------------

The increased sleep quality, which was noticed from day one, was by far the most tangible and consistent effect I got from this product. I feel like this is the best sleep I’ve ever gotten, and I woke up feeling well-rested everyday with no sleep hangover. For this, I think it fully deserves a 10 in this subcategory. It didn't knock me out (I could stay awake if I wanted to), but sleep was very deep and restful while taking this. I feel it was especially beneficial to me due to my work schedule; I normally have a hard time adjusting from dayshift to nightshift without melatonin, but I never really felt the need for it while taking this. The sleep from this was better than taking melatonin, and I woke up feeling energized and ready to go roughly 90% of the time. There were a couple of days that I had some minor drowsiness upon waking, but it never took more than 10-15 minutes to get over it with a minimal amount of caffeine (usually a scoop of Focus XT).

--------------------------------------------------

Physical Effects: 8/10

--------------------------------------------------

I was taking this during a cut, so my hope with this was that it would help me retain muscle mass and strength while in a calorie deficit. I feel that it did its job in this respect. My strength went up in all areas, and I lost 3 lbs overall during the 30 days I took this. I also felt slightly more driven, which could have just been due to a placebo effect, but I had an undeniable confidence boost and just felt great overall most days while taking this. My recovery seemed improved as well. It is hard to say for certain how much of an effect AD3 had specifically, as I taking other supplements as well, but I definitely feel that it played a useful role in my stack.

--------------------------------------------------

Side Effects: Minor aggression/irritability

--------------------------------------------------

This was a minor issue, but I feel it is worth mentioning. There were several instances, especially after around week 2, I found myself having less patience and was quicker to lose my temper even at small things. This combined with the increased confidence and assertiveness I was feeling could easily let me make a jackass of myself if not kept in check. Luckily, my wife was there to keep me in line lol...

One positive thing concerning sides is that I never experienced any of the joint pain typical of AI's while taking this. I was also taking lots of fish oil throughout, as well as USPLabs Super Cissus for a while, but I feel like AD3 was easier on my joints than the previous AI I had tried. I should note that day 2 after finishing this cycle, I began experiencing some ulnar nerve pain originating from my right elbow, but it was due to overtraining when I should have proceeded to a deload. I don't blame it on the AD3 because none of my other joints had any soreness at all. In fact, other than my right elbow, my joints feel better than ever.

==================================================

Value: 9.5/10

==================================================

It is hard for me to directly compare this product to other AI's due to my relative inexperience with these types of products, but at ~$25 for a 30-day supply this presents a great value. You get a good dose of aromatase inhibitor, plus the nice extras of liver support and FANTASTIC sleep for less than a dollar a day.

==================================================

Overall: 9/10

==================================================

I enjoyed my run of this, and recommend this to anyone in the market for this type of supplement based on my personal experience. I will use this again periodically to help ensure my hormone levels are optimal and also to enjoy the great sleep benefits. Although I had good effects at 4 weeks, I will run two bottles next time to get the full benefits, and will probably pair it with a natty test booster such as DAA.
Pros:
Cons:
  • Vivid Dreams (increased Rem Sleep?)
  • Good Value
  • Increased Strength
  • Improved Sleep
  • Minor Aggression At Times

Could I use this at the beginning of my pct as opposed to near the end?

First off, I feel kind of dumb even asking this question because it's a question that I myself have answered before when others asked regarding prohormones. However, concerning something as mild as Epi-1-test, I've actually heard some mixed opinions about an AI's use during PCT when accompanied by a SERM.

For those of you who don't know, I have clomid on hand for pct after epi-1-test starting Sunday. I am aware that for more harsh methylated compounds like halodrol and superdrol, the use of an AI with a SERM is not a wise idea due to the estrogen necessity for homeostasis recovery. However, being that epi-1-test is very mild and essentially a dual combo of dhea metabolites, I was steered to believing that because shutdown has only been minimal at best, could I simply throw in AD-3 pct into my pct along with my SERM and everything else?

Once again, this question may sound somewhat deluded, but any advice is welcome guys.

Thanks big time!!
Answer #1:
We're in the same boat.
I was planning on starting mine on week 4 of pct.

I don't think this is absolutely necessary after epi. But I love this supplement.

My last run I felt horrible throughout pct but after it was over and I was just on the ad3pct and d-pol I started to come back around and feel like myself again. I'm dreading my upcoming pct but looking forward to the ad3/ d-pol.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
