Shredz Testosterone Review – Does It Work?

Shredz Testosterone Overview

Some of us use testosterone boosters to help increase lean muscle mass and decrease fat deposits. Others of us use testosterone boosters to improve erections and overall sexual performance. That’s the great thing about increasing testosterone – multiple benefits in one product. This doesn’t stop most testosterone boosting supplements from focusing just on one aspect or the other. It helps with marketing, making them able to target one specific audience. But Shredz thinks differently about their product,Shredz Testosterone. They market it to people who want to build muscle as much as those who want the sexual benefits. And since it’s part of a broader line of supplements, this might be a good choice.

Shredz Testosterone promises to work with your body to enhance your lifestyle with an increase in your natural testosterone. One of their selling points is that they don’t use the same old tired testosterone boosting ingredients you’re used to. They use a newer, more progressive formula that beats the competition hands down.

Shredz Testosterone Ingredients and How They Work

We’ve seen what Shredz Testosterone says about their formula, Now let’s have a look ourselves to see if it can truly deliver like they say. The ingredient list is very brief. There’s:

Zinc which is used to facilitate the body’s natural testosterone production process. Studies have shown a positive correlation between zinc and testosterone levels.
Anacyclus Pyrethrum which I have to admit I wasn’t familiar with before checking out Shredz Testosterone. It’s an herb used as an aphrodisiac in Ayurvedic medicine. It’s currently being studied for its potential to increase testosterone. It’s truly cutting edge. The science isn’t in yet, but it may turn out to be an important testosterone booster.
Eurycoma Longifolia which is used in lots of testosterone boosters. It helps to free up testosterone that would otherwise be bound with Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG).
Fenugreek which has long been believed to increase testosterone naturally.
Maca Root which is primarily an aphrodisiac, but is also believed to play a role in increasing testosterone.
Velvet Bean Extract (aka Mucuna Pruriens) which is also an aphrodisiac that may work by increasing testosterone.

The recommended dose is 1 Shredz Testosterone capsule taken 3 times daily.

Shredz Testosterone Pros and Cons

Advantages of Shredz Testosterone

The ingredients are all natural.
There are lots of favorable Shredz Testosterone reviews from customers. In fact, the majority of reviews on Amazon.com are positive.
It’s easily available.

Disadvantages of Shredz Testosterone

It’s expensive.
The formula may focus more on sexual performance components than actually boosting testosterone.

Where to Buy

You can purchase Shredz Testosterone through the Shredz website or other retailers like Amazon.com. If you prefer, you can also pick it up at your local GNC. The one month supply of 90 capsules sells for $75 at GNC, but Amazon will sell you 2 months for $118.

Conclusion

The Shredz Testosterone reviews from customers make me think you might get some good results on both the bodybuilding and sexual side of things. But even so, I’m not sure the cost is fully justified.

Natural Max Garcinia Review

Natural Max Garcinia Overview

I’ve been hearing a lot lately about Garcinia Cambogia for weight loss. It first came to prominence a few years back when Dr. Oz touted it as the greatest thing to happen to weight loss since the treadmill. Back then, it seemed clear that it would be a passing trend for a while before everyone moved on. But I have to admit, this stuff has some staying power. New garcinia supplements are still coming out all the time, so maybe there’s something to it after all. One that I came across recently is called Natural Max Garcinia.

Natural Max Garcinia promises to help you lose weight in all the ways garcinia cambogia is believed to help:
It helps block the conversion of food to fat.
It suppresses appetite.
It help lower cortisol, the stress hormone, that can cause your body to hold onto fat.

It encourages the release of increased serotonin. With more of this feel-good brain chemical flowing through your body, you’re less prone to emotional eating.

That’s a pretty impressive list, and it’s why garcinia supplements have remained as popular as they have. But what’s in Natural Max Garcinia that makes it work so well.

Natural Max Garcinia Ingredients and How They Work

The primary active ingredient in Natural Max Garcinia is the HCA extracted from the garcinia cambogia fruit. HCA stands for Hydroxycitric Acid, and it’s the powerhouse of the formula. What HCA does is inhibit the enzyme (Citrate Lyase) that causes the conversion of carbohydrates to fat. Without that conversion process, instead of being stored as fat, calories are used for energy. The multifaceted result of that is increased energy, decreased appetite, and a decrease in stored fat on your body. Natural Max Garcinia uses the recommended 60% concentration of HCA at 800 mg in each dose.

The rest of the ingredients in the Natural Max Garcinia formula are said to be all natural, but unfortunately what they are exactly isn’t revealed online.

Natural Max Garcinia Pros and Cons

Advantages of Natural Max Garcinia

The ingredients are all natural
It uses the recommended 60% HCA concentration.

Disadvantages of Natural Max Garcinia

Like a lot of garcinia supplements, Natural Max Garcinia is only available online through a “free trial” offer, which is anything but free.
It may not even be available that way currently.
It promises that you can lose weight without changing your diet or exercise routine, but that’s basically impossible, and certainly unsustainable.

Where to Buy

As we mentioned earlier, Natural Max Garcinia is sold as a “free trial” offer online. You start off at what appears to be an unbiased review. But after reading about the amazing benefits, a banner appears that supposedly takes you to a website that offers Natural Max Garcinia for free. How it really works is that you sign up by paying a small shipping fee. In the fine print, it states that by signing up, you’re also signing up for their automatic monthly shipping plan. If you don’t call and cancel withing 14 days from the day you placed your order, you’ll be charged full price for the “free” trial bottle, and you’ll receive a new bottle each month for that same price. All this is spelled out in the terms and conditions, but you’ve usually got to look pretty hard to find them, and most people miss them.

At this time, however, when you try to click through to buy Natural Max Garcinia, it takes you to the free trial page of a different garcinia supplement, making it pretty clear that these supplements are pretty much interchangeable with each other.

Conclusion

Garcinia is popular, but the research doesn’t support its benefits, at least not the kind of benefits they advertise. Even if you do want to try it, I wouldn’t advise you to put to much faith into Natural Max Garcinia, when even the manufacturer doesn’t distinguish between it and its competition.

Slimera Review – Should You Use It?

Slimera Overview

We’ve all heard about Garcinia Cambogia. It’s that magic weight loss fruit Dr. Oz talked so much about a few years back. Since then, even though Dr. Oz recommendations have fallen out of favor for the most part, garcinia cambogia continues to be a very popular product. Maybe that means this stuff works. The clinical evidence isn’t in at this point, but the fact that it remains popular after most fads would have dried up makes you wonder if maybe there’s something to it. I bring it up because we’re going to talk about Slimera today. It’s one of a handful of garcinia supplements that’s been popping up on my radar a lot lately.

Slimera makes all the common claims of garcinia supplements. It:

Blocks carbohydrates from turning into fats, converting them to energy used by the body instead.
Increases the secretion of Serotonin, the feel good brain chemical. More serotonin can help curb emotional eating.
Inhibits the formation of new fat cells around the belly.
Reduces cortisol levels. Cortisol is the stress hormone that causes your body to react to stress in unhealthy ways. Increased cortisol decreases metabolism and encourages your body to hold on to its fat.

Slimera Ingredients and How They Work

The active ingredient in Slimera is the HCA that’s extracted from the garcinia cambogia rind. HCA is Hydroxycitric Acid, and it’s responsible for all the benefits listed above. There has been some clinical testing, but the truth is they haven’t been conclusive. There is no hard evidence that HCA leads to fat loss or weight loss.

Despite the lack of evidence that HCA works, there is a protocol for its use. The recommended concentration is 60%, but the concentration used in Slimera is only 50%. They also usually recommend a dose of 800-1000 mg per day, but we were unable to determine the dosage in Slimera.

Where to Buy Slimera

The only way to purchase Slimera is through their online free trial offer. It’s a very common way for supplements to be sold online, but if you go with one, you need to make sure you understand the terms. Basically, you sign up for a free trial by paying $4.97 for shipping. They send you a full one month supply of Slimera. You have 14 days from the day you order to decide if you want to keep using it. If you do nothing, they charge you the full price of $84.97 and sign you up to receive a new bottle at that same price every month. If you don’t want to sign up, you need to make sure to call them, before the 14 day trial period is up. Believe it or not, it’s legal. But it’s sneaky for sure, and a lot of people get caught in these scams.

Slimera Pros and Cons

Advantages of Slimera

The ingredients are said to be all natural.

Disadvantages of Slimera

The ingredients are not fully disclosed.
The concentration of HCA may be too low.
It’s only available through the free trial scam, and it’s very expensive in the end.

Conclusion

Garcinia Cambogia may be a helpful component to your weight loss efforts. The science hasn’t determined that yet. But if you’re interested in trying it, there are far cheaper and potentially more effective products to use. Don’t bother with Slimera.

Brainfinity Review – Should You Try It?

Brainfinity Overview

If you take a quick visit to the Brainfinity website, you’ll be met with some pretty enticing copy about how much smarter, quicker, energetic, and motivated you can be. They make it sound pretty amazing actually. This stuff will have you:

Tapping into your inner genius with fits of crystal clear clarity.
Speaking intelligently about everything you’ve read or heard.
Sparking intuitive conclusions right and left.
Feeling and sensing everything more deeply and connectedly.

It definitely sounds too good to be true, but is it? Probably. At least to that extent. But there are supplements, called nootropics, that can enhance your brain function, make you more alert and aware, and allow you to concentrate on and remember things better. Let’s take a look at the Brainfinity formula to see if its ingredients make this at all possible.

Brainfinity Ingredients and How They Work

The easiest way to understand the Brainfinity formula is to break it down by function. For the sake of optimal clarity, we’ll use 4 major categories:

To Enhance Alertness, there’s Caffeine, Green Tea Extract, Niacin, and Vinpocetine. Caffeine is a stimulant, Green Tea is an anitoxidant, Niacin improves blood flow and circulation, and Vinpocetine increases the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.
To Stimulate Nerve Cells, there’s Nettle Leaf and Glucoronolactone which both increase the flow of blood to the brain and stimulate nerve cells and synapses.
To Improve Focus and Cognitive Function, Synephrine Caprylate reduces free radical damage to the neurotransmitters of the brain which helps them work at a higher level.
To Enhance Mood, Phenethylamine HCL, Yohimbine, and Microencapsulated Caffeine stimulate and calm at the same time, while keeping you from feeling jittery or on edge.

Brainfinity, unlike a lot of its counterparts, lists all of the ingredients and their amounts on their website. This is important for several reasons. It gives you an idea of whether or not the ingredients are present in sufficient amounts. It also allows you to take a look at ingredients and adjust your dose if you’re experiencing side effects or not enough benefit.

Brainfinity Pros and Cons

Advantages of Brainfinity

The ingredients are all natural and all listed on the website.
It’s cheaper than a lot of other nootropic supplements.
There’s a 90 day money back guarantee.

Disadvantages of Brainfinity

It’s very new and so is the manufacturer (Execucore LLC) so little is known about either.
Because it’s new, there are pretty much no customer reviews to help us know how it’s working in the real world.
The promises are over-the-top which could damage their credibility.

Where to Buy

The only way to buy Brainfinity is through their official website. A one month supply costs $37.95 at this time, but they state the list price is $67.95, so the low price may just be a special promotion. You’ll also save a little if you buy more than one bottle at a time. 2 go for $62.95, and you’ll pay $83.95 for three. The website mentions a 90 day money back guarantee, but it doesn’t specify the terms.

Conclusion

Brainfinity is new on the market so it’s tough to get a solid read on it, but I do have a few initial impressions. They set up a complete and informative website, along with a very active social media presence, so as far as the business end of things go, they know what they’re doing. They also put a comparatively very low price on it, to entice people in. The formula looks pretty good, but I wouldn’t say they’ve knocked it out of the park. But given the price and the guarantee, I’d say Brainfinity is worth a shot.

Addiction / Withdrawal / and Possible Dependency
Recommendation

I’m not someone who typically suffers from anxiety or insomnia, but like most folks I have my good and bad days. Up until recently, if I had a hard time falling asleep or felt anxious, I would simply write it off and deal with it.

However, in the interest of helping my readers find something that can help in this area, I decided to do a bit of research. During my research, I came across a supplement called Kavinace, which is the focus of this review.

Watch Our Video Review Or Scroll Down To Read More

What is Kavinace?

Kavinace is an all natural supplement designed to help promote relief from anxiety / irritability, as well as help people suffering from insomnia and sleep issues. It’s marketed by a company called Neuroscience, and is sold almost exclusively online.

Its primary ingredient is 4-amino-3-phenylbutyric acid (also known as Phenibut), which is a GABA derivative that acts to inhibit excitatory transmitters in the brain. The theory is that it allows GABA to cross the blood brain barrier by adding a phenyl ring around it. (Source)

Typically GABA cannot do this on it’s own, at least in sufficient quantities.

Other ingredients in Kavinace include taurine, which is a potent antioxidant that products against toxicity from various substances, and Vitamin B6.

Frequently Asked Questions About Kavinace

How Should I Take Kavinace

According to the label, you should take 1-2 capsules two times daily, and you should not exceed 6 capsules per day. While the manufacturer recommends daily dosing, this it not a good idea.

You will learn exactly why below.

How Long Does Kavinace Take To Work?

I also don’t think you should take more then 1 or 2 capsules TOTAL throughout the day. Phenibut has a way of creeping up on you when you least expect it.

You could be feeling practically nothing and then 1/2 hr. later feel all the effects at once.

One thing I also noticed is the effects are MUCH more pronounced when you take it on a completely empty stomach.

I’m not sure as to why this is the case, but my theory is that the ingredients are simply absorbed faster / more efficiently when there’s nothing else your stomach has to work on.

What kind of feeling should I expect from taking Kavinace?

While everyone’s body chemistry / makeup is different, the general consensus among most is that it provides a feeling of relief from anxiety, makes you less irritable, and can help you sleep better.

One thing I want to note is that it seems to take a VERY long time to feel the effects, in some cases close to 5 or 6 hours.

I have no idea why it takes that long but that’s the effect I got from it.

Can I Take Kavinace With Alcohol?

This is NOT recommended.

The primary ingredient in Kavinace (Phenibut), increases the effects of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA in the brain.

This is exactly the same way that alcohol works, and drinking any alcohol whatsoever will simply intensify the effect.

There are all sorts of adverse reactions that can occur if you combine kavinace and alcohol, including:

Nausea / Vomiting
Extreme drowsiness / sedation
Loss of consciousness
Potential respiratory depression

If you don’t believe me, read this.

It’s also not recommended that you drive while taking this supplement until you can assess your individual tolerance.

Can I buy it in stores?

The answer is yes and no.

You can’t find Kavinace in large brick and mortar stores like GNC, Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid, or Vitamin Shoppe. Amazon doesn’t seem to sell it either, and the primary ingredient (phenibut) has been placed on their known prohibited products list.

However, there are many smaller, locally-owned vitamin stores that sell it. I would run a quick search for something like “supplements store near me” and call around to a few local shops.

My Personal Results

I had a chance to try out Kavinace, and I have to say that I think it is a VERY potent supplement. Because I’ve taken products containing phenibut in the past, including Phenibut XT, Somatomax, and Tranquilene, I had an idea of what to expect as far as results.

The first time I took it was in the morning on a particularly stressful day at work. It took awhile to kick in, but the effect was there. I felt an increase in mood and just generally had a positive outlook on the day ahead. Things that would normally stress me out didn’t.

Later that day I took 1 more capsule about 2 hours before bed, and felt very relaxed while I watched TV. It’s a bit hard to describe, but it’s almost like feeling the buzz you get from drinking a couple of beers or glasses of wine, but without the mind-slowing effects.

That night I had a GREAT nights sleep. Usually I’ll wake up once or twice throughout the night to use the bathroom, but not this night. I slept straight through and woke up feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the day.

What’s interesting about Kavinace (and supplements containing Phenibut in general) is that the effects seem to linger for most of the following day, even without re dosing.

This is sometimes referred to as an “afterglow” effect.

Kavinace Warnings

So a quick story is in order to let you know how I originally learned about Kavinace. I had been experimenting with a substance called Phenibut over the course of a few months, and everything was working great. The substance gave me a calm, relaxed feeling, but didn’t leave me drowsy during the day.

Combined with a stimulant like Optimind, Phenibut gave me intense concentration and focus, but kept me level-headed and cool. It essentially eliminated any of the anxiety inducing effects of the stimulant, allowing me to work for hours on end.

It even actually worked as a fairly potent pre-workout supplement. Often I would take it about 2 – 3 hours before my workouts, and found that I not only was working out harder, but I seemed to be more focused.

Potential Addiction Issues

Then, I started reading stories on forums and addiction treatment centers about the potential for addiction and withdrawal symptoms from prolonged use of Phenibut.

If you’ve been taking Kavinace for a prolonged period of time, some signs of an addiction may include:

Increased Anxiety
Depression
Paranoia
Aggression / Irritability
Insomnia
Cognitive deficit
Dizziness
Fatigue

Uh ohhh…Anyway, after ceasing use of Phenibut and going through a short (but unpleasant) withdrawal period, I started to miss the effects that Phenibut was producing.

In my quest to find something that would work similar to Phenibut, but without the withdrawal dependency aspect, I visited a local mom and pop vitamin store.

When I entered the store I was greeted by the owner, and I asked her if she ever heard of Phenibut.

Her reply??

Oh no, I don’t mess with that stuff. Too many issues, I’ve read too many horror stories about withdrawal / dependency, etc.

I then told her I was looking for something to help relieve anxiety, help me sleep, etc., and she recommended Kavinace. She said she takes it twice a day, 1 capsule in the morning and 1 in the evening, and has been for years.

I asked her if she ever experienced any side effects or withdrawal symptoms from abstaining from it. She told me that she’s only taken a few days off from it ever since she started taking it, and only noticed minimal withdrawal symptoms like being pissed off in traffic.

I bought a bottle and when I got home researched the ingredients (at the time I didn’t know Phenibut was called 4-amino-3-phenybutric acid), and wouldn’t you know it….4-amino-3-phenybutric acid is Phenibut.

I thought about calling her up and telling her that what she was taking is essentially Phenibut, but she seemed “out there” to begin with so I didn’t bother.

The dangers of taking Phenibut long term are there. I talk about this in detail in my official review of Phenibut, so I won’t touch on it here.

Pros

Works well to help relieve stress / anxiety
Can be conveniently bought online and in stores
Excellent for sleep
Can also provide nootropic clarity and concentration in small doses

Cons

Shouldn’t take it everyday, despite them telling you otherwise
Unknown exactly how much Phenibut it contains
Only available in small, local mom and pop vitamin stores

Recommendation

Does Kavinace work? I can say with a resounding YES. HOWEVER, taking Phenibut (or Kavinace) daily is a REALLY bad idea.

Not only does it have the potential to create REALLY bad withdrawal symptoms when you stop taking it, but Phenibut seems to build a tolerance very quickly.

Long term use should be avoided, but if you are looking to use it for just a short period of time then there is no reason that taking Kavinace should produce any negative effects unless you are particularly sensitive to it.

You’ll find you need more and more of the stuff to get the same intended effect, which is never a good thing for a supplement. If you do decide to use it, I would suggest you use it either sparingly (1 – 2 times per week), or not at all.

MaxGXL Sport Review – Should You Try It?

MaxGXL Sport Overview

MaxGXL Sport is an anti-aging supplement based on the notion that your body needs to make up for the lessening production of glutathione as you age. Glutathione is an extremely important antioxidant produced in the body that fights against cell damage, keeps your immune system functioning at high levels, and has various anti-aging benefits as well. MaxGXL Sport is a supplement made by Max International that increases your body’s natural production of Glutathione, with the expected result of making you feel years, even decades, younger.

MaxGXL Sport is an offshoot of the original product, MaxGXL. They are virtually identical except that MaxGXL Sport comes in Vegetarian capsules and is packaged in a bottle. The reason for this is that MaxGXL Sport has been tested and approved b the NSF with a “Sport Certification”. The NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) test products in accordance with strict guidelines for health and safety. The fact that MaxGXL Sport has received its Sports Certification means that it has been approved and is certified not to contain banned substances.

MaxGXL Sport Benefits

The benefits of MaxGXL Sport are equal to the benefits of glutathione which include:

Prevention of damage in the brain caused by free radicals. Free radical damage in the brain is associated with neurodegenerative diseases.
Improved heart health though the enzyme Glutathione Peroxidatse preventing the oxidation of lipids.
Fight against hearing loss by preventing oxidative injury to the inner ear.
Defense against oxidative stress of the lens of the eye.
Defense against toxins in the lungs.
Support for the elimination of harmful byproducts of liver metabolism.
Support for the liver’s work of detoxifying the blood.

MaxGXL Sport Ingredients

The MaxGXL Sport formula is made up of components that encourage and stimulate the production of increased Glutathione within the body. These include L-Glutamine, N-Acetyl Cysteine, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Cordyceps, Quercetin, and Milk Thistle.

The recommended dose is 3 capsules taken twice per day.

Clinical Study

Max International conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled cross-over study using 27 subjects, male and female, from 31 to 72 years old. At the conclusion of the study, it was determined that subjects using MaxGXL Sport had a progressive increase in intracellular glutathione levels and increased levels of IGF-1 and DHEA.

MaxGXL Sport Pros and Cons

Advantages of MaxGXL Sport

The ingredients are all natural.
There are lots of MaxGXL Sport reviews from customers who found it to help in lots of ways, like energy and joint pain relief.
It’s been clinically tested.

Disadvantages of MaxGXL Sport

Although it has additional availability, it is primarily sold through a multilevel marketing program where they encourage customers to become reps and recruit other customers to be in their stable of reps as well.
It’s expensive.
Most of the information we found on MaxGXL Sport is about how to become a rep for the company, as opposed to how the product actually works.

Where to Buy

As I mentioned, MaxGXL Sport is available through this program of reps and reps or reps. But you can also pick it up at Amazon.com these days. It looks like the least you can buy from the Max International website is 2 bottles for $130. They call it the starter kit. On Amazon.com, you can pick up one bottle for $64.99.

Conclusion

I wouldn’t be surprised if taking MaxGXL Sport makes you feel good. But $64.99 is a lot of money, and if you go directly through the company, you’ll no doubt have to sit through the hard sell about why you should be selling MaxGXL Sport yourself.

The Real Limitless Pill? – Fat Chance!!

“The Real Limitless Pill!”…

“Controversial ‘Limitless Pill’ Used By The 1%”

“Celebrities Using Secret “Smart Pills” To Get Ahead”

I see these headlines screaming at me day after day on social media and random news sites, and they just keep on coming. If you’ve seen the movie “Limitless” starring Bradley Cooper, then you probably know what I’m talking about. The pill is called NZT 48, and in the movie Bradley Cooper uses it to achieve fame and fortune, and also screw over Robert Deniro in the process.

If you don’t remember the movie I’m talking about, maybe this “fake ad” will explain a little bit more of what the Limitless Movie was all about.

Basically, the main character in the movie was played by Bradley Cooper, who stumbles upon a drug that makes him.

Well, limitless.

He writes a book in like 3 days, conquers Wall Street, learns 6 languages, and masters the art of kung fu.

All from one little clear pill.

I mean really, how cool would that be?

There’s a few prescription medications out there that have attempted to define themselves as smart pills, including Adderall, Vyvanse, Ritalin, and Modafinil.

They do work wonderfully, but not without a wide range of side effects and potential for addiction that keep a lot of people from crossing that bridge.

But, let’s imagine for a second that there was a real “Limitless Pill” that was an all natural supplement. One that could help you achieve mind blowing focus / concentration, motivation, and drastically increase your short and long term memory.

A REAL over the counter adderall equivalent.

Would you take it?

You probably would, and there’s certainly no shortage of companies hawking supplements to us claiming that they are the “real deal” limitless drug. However, these headlines cover up a dark and sinister underground world of deceit, those of which involve fake celebrity endorsements, fake articles (farticles), and a very deliberate and methodical attempt of separating thousands of hard working Americans from their money.

Over the course of the last 6 months or so we’ve seen literally DOZENS of this ads, and each one has a different pill they are slinging. The purpose of this article is to EXPOSE these fake products for what they REALLY are, and to help you save you time, money, and a lot of hassle.

Products Claiming They Are The Real “Limitless Pill”…

Addium

We posted a review of Addium back in January of this year, and the reviews (mostly negative) started to pour in. Addium has to be, by far, the most heavily marketed / promoted supplements I have ever seen, and has resulted in hundreds of people commenting on it and reviewing it on my site.

Throughout that marketing, you’ll see lots of intriguing evidence that this just “might” be the real limitless pill. There’s references on Twitter to the movie “Limitless”, starring Bradley Cooper, and how Addium was quite literally the inspiration behind the movie.

Another thing you’ll see if a Forbes magazine article called Addium “Viagra for the brain”, and said it was given an honorary mention as the pill that can turn you into the quickest thinker on the planet.

Finally, you’ll see dozens (if not HUNDREDS by now) reviews on Amazon talking up the supplement, saying things like “I found my thinking to be clearer” and “I can express myself better”, among other claims.

However, as you’ll see in my official review, this is simply deliberate and FALSE marketing designed to make you think this is some “miracle” brain enhancer. Read more in my official review of Addium here.

MZT 48

One of my visitors actually pointed this one out. Remember the movie Limitless I was talking about earlier? Well, in that movie the name of the drug Bradley Cooper uses a pill called NZT-48, which is clearly what the makers intended to align when they were designing the product.

The first thing I noted about MZT 48 was the label was nearly IDENTICAL to that of Addium and Adderin.

Like many of the others you’ll read about on this page, MZT 48 uses the same clever (yet deceptive) marketing to promote their product.

There’s mentions of plenty of celebs that are apparently taking it, and they even say that genius Stephen Hawking used it to “triple his memory”

In fact, they even claim that CNN’s Anderson Cooper used it for a period of 2 weeks with extraordinary results.

Click Here to read more in my MZT 48 review.

Alpha ZXT

The first time I heard about this product, I actually thought it was a car. “Test Drive the all new Acura Alpha ZXT at your local dealer today” sprung to mind.

Well, it turns out that it wasn’t a car, but rather a secret pill that celebrities were secretly using to help give them an edge. Those celebrities?? None other than Bill Gates, James Cameron, Tiger Woods, Will Smith, and even renowned theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking are using it.

They even quoted Mr. Hawking as calling it the “The Biggest Event In Human History”.

Then, as I did my research, all of the chips started to fall. I researched the article where Stephen Hawking was cited, and he wasn’t talking about Alpha ZXT…he was talking about AI or Artificial Intelligence as being the next biggest event in human history.

And that Time Magazine Cover featuring Tiger Woods, exclaiming “Tiger’s Tale: Credits Brain Boosting ‘Clear Pill’ As Biggest Trick for Success”?? Totally Fake…Here’s a picture of the real cover.

You can see more in my review of Alpha ZXT here.

Synagen IQ

Yet another nootropic based supplement that uses deceptive marketing is a product called Synagen IQ. I first learned about this supplement when I stumbled upon an article that appeared to be on the CNN official site.

It showed screenshots of an interview of physicist Stephen Hawking being interviewed by Wolf Blitzer, with the headline screaming “We can now access 100% of the brain”.

Throughout this “interview”, they mention a number of other celebrities who are apparently taking this miracle brain booster, including Denzel Washington and Ashton Kutcher.

However, just like with Alpha ZXT above, I quickly realized this was COMPLETELY FAKE.

There was no interview with Stephen Hawking, and I even watched through the entire Denzel Washington speech he gave and he makes no mention of Synagen IQ.

I even got a chance to personally test out Synagen IQ, you can read all about my results in my official review here.

Neuro 3X

Another one that uses the likes of celebrity’s to promote their product is none other then Neuro3X, which Will Smith reveals it as the one key to a limitless mind. This time instead of using a fake CNN or MSNBC article, it’s a fake version of the Discover Magazine website, and they claim that Smith said that Neuro 3X literally “doubled his IQ in minutes”.

Just like Addium and Alpha ZXT, they also use the fake “Limitless” movie tweet that insinuates that Neuro 3X was the inspiration for the movie, as well as the Fake Forbes article.

They even sunk as low as stating that motivational speaker Tony Robbins is using it, citing that it’s his ‘ultimate secret’ to unlocking his mind and achieving laser-like focus.

You can read all about this one in my official review here.

Intellux

Intellux uses a slightly more deceptive approach to marketing their product. This time around, they are saying that Jim Carrey revealed on “The Jimmy Kimmel Show” that he’s been taking Intellux to quick increase his wealth, IQ, and bank account.

The stage for the Fake Article (or FARTICLE) is a Discovery News Mag website, which looks like the real thing. It’s rife with claims about other celebs using it, including Tom Cruise, Daniel Craig, and even tennis legend Roger Federer.

They also point out that when Intellux is used in conjunction with another supplement called Geniux, the results are enhanced 10 fold. You can even find reviews of Geniux on Youtube talking about how great the supplement works and claiming that they’re not paid sponsers.

Like Alpha ZXT and Addium, however, it’s all a load of B.S. Read more in my official Intellux review here.

Brainstorm Elite

“Nothing expands your mind and gets you in the zone like Brainstorm Elite”. That was a direct quote from none other than Leonardo Dicaprio, award winning actor and producer, and humper of some of the hottest chicks in the world.

In this Discovery Mag article, he supposedly talks about how Brainstorm Elite has given him unbeatable work ethic and creativity, as well as giving him more energy and mental clarity.

Just like the others, there are plenty of other celebrities being referenced as using it as well, and the editor of this so called magazine editorial did his own short experiment with the pills to see if they really worked.

But just like all the others, we did the research and proved that it was all smoke and mirrors. Read more in my review here.

Adderin

This one just popped up on my radar a couple of weeks ago when a visitor to my site pointed it out. Then, a couple of ads started popping up in my facebook news feed calling Adderin “11X stronger than Adderall and 100% safe…”

The link took me to a mock “NBC” website, saying that this supplement was featured on the TV show “The Doctors” and doctors were calling it “viagra for the brain”. As usual, the BS was complete with mentions of the movie Limitless, and all the usual celebrity suspects.

They even go on to say that the FDA had originally banned the use of Adderin, but that 3 years of litigation and clinical studies proved it was safe and brought it back to the market.

Check out my review on this one here.

CogniFlex

I found out about this one, again, via my Facebook news feed. Cogniflex claims people are “rushing” to buy it before it’s out of stock, yet unsurprisingly, can only be bought on it’s official website.

They use all of the same deceptive marketing as the others…

It’s the “real” limitless pill.
Was recently approved by the FDA (even though herbal supplements don’t need FDA approval)
Celebrities and professional athletes are using it.
It was featured in Forbes.

And as usual, each claim was debunked.

What’s worse is that Cogniflex invites people to try out their supplement via a free trial. This sounds great and all, until your credit card gets charged $140 10 days after ordering.

Read more in my official Cogniflex review here.

So the one thing you’re probably asking yourself is…

How Do They Get Away With This?!?!

Are the editors over at CNN, Discover Magazine, and Yahoo all on crack? I mean, don’t these celebrities want to protect their image and likeness from being associated with these so called brain pills?

Well, there’s a lot of sneaky tricks these companies use to keep scamming people out of their hard earned money, and stay off the Feds radar.

1.) They Use Affiliates To Market These Products

Many of these fake ads / Farticles that you come across are not ACTUALLY being paid for by the companies that make the supplements. Rather, they are typically run by professional affiliates who use cloak and dagger techniques to game the system.

One of those techniques involves setting up a “legitimate” advertising campaign, which when it runs through the Yahoo advertising approval board, looks credible. Once the ad has been approved, the marketers simply use what is called a “redirect” to send people to a completely different page (the FAKE one), one that has NOT been approved by Yahoo.

These affiliates are paid a certain percentage of the total cost of the product when you purchase it through one of their links, and many of them will do WHATEVER it takes to get you to buy the supplement in question.

This generally results in them posting these fake articles, using big names like CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, and Discover Magazine to make it appear as though you’re reading a REAL article on one of those sites.

2.) They Use Fake Websites To Clutter The Search Engines With “False Positive” Reviews

Another thing I’ve noticed recently is many of the companies have been paying other sites to post “reviews” of their products, which are really nothing more then big sales pages.

They make up a bunch of content that in most cases doesn’t even make sense to help them rank better in the search engines. They also will link to these pages from a wide array of other websites, all with the intention of boosting up their ranking and giving YOU false information.

Meanwhile, sites like SupplementCritique.com that have ACTUALLY USED and tested these products are buried in the results. They do this because they don’t want you to see the truth about their supplement, and will do everything in their power to try and keep you from learning it.

3.) They Rebrand New Products Over and Over

Once these techniques start to fail and the real truth starts to show up, typically what you will see if a “rebranding” of a new product, which is essentially the same as the old one. What do I mean by this?

Well, take Addium for example…the truth is beginning to rear its ugly head, and you’ll see dozens of very negative reviews on Amazon, Ebay, and other sites. Word is starting to get around…So, instead of trying to beat a dead horse, the makers of Addium are re branding their product and calling it Adderin.

If you search for Adderin on Google, there isn’t any bad publicity yet. That’s because the product has just been recently introduced to the market. But, if you give it a few months, I can almost guarantee that youll start to see the truth come pouring out.

How Can I Protect Myself From These Scams??

Well, the first thing you should do is bookmark my site. I spend THOUSANDS of $$ testing a wide array of products every year, and chances are if you are reading about it, I likely have a review of it somewhere on my site.

The second thing is just use common sense. Remember the adage ‘if it’s too good to be true, it probably is?”

Lastly, if you’re unsure whether the product you’re looking at is the real deal, send me an email. I’ll take a look at the marketing, the claims, and do the research and let you know if it’s a legit supplement, or complete bunk.

Brain Peak Review – Should You Use It?

Brain Peak Overview

Nootropics, otherwise known as brain boosters and ADHD alternative supplements, are all the rage in the supplement world. There’s a whole huge community of people experimenting with combining all sorts of ingredients to make their own stacks, and there are new fully formed supplement options popping up every day. The benefits to making your own are that you know exactly what’s in it and you might possible find the perfect combination. The main benefit of a complete supplement are that you get the benefit of someone else’s research, without having to do it all on your own. Of course we recommend that you become familiar with the ingredients, since it’s always a good idea to know what you’re putting in your body.

I think it was the movie “Limitless” where Bradley Cooper took that pill and could all of a sudden write a book and make millions of dollars in the stock market overnight that brought the idea of brain boosting supplement to the mainstream. Since then, more and more formulations pop up practically every day. Brain Peak is one we recently became aware of. The benefits it claims are:

Achieving never before dreamed of performance.
Revitalizing your entire mind (I think that’s a reference to the quote from the movie where they say we only use a very small portion of our brains.
Smashing targets with ease.
Thinking faster and more clearly.
Accessing your power.

With these claims, Brain Peak is definitely indicating that it can make you achieve like the character in the movie. Of course, most supplements make big claims. It’s our job to break it down and figure out what’s fact and what’s fantasy.

Brain Peak Ingredients and How They Work

The primary mechanism of action used by Brain Peak is boosting acetylcholine, a crucial neurotransmitter in your brain. The formula uses 9 natural ingredients to achieve that boost and further enhance your brains optimal functioning, but their website only discusses the 2 main components:

Huperzia Serrata (aka Huperzine A) which is being studied as a potential cure for Altzheimer’s Disease because of its ability to improve age-related memory impairment. It works by increasing Acetylcholine levels. It comes from the Chinese plant, Club Moss

Vinpocetine which is derived from the periwinkle plant improves blood flow to the brain. Some preliminary studies have shown that it may improve memory in healthy adults.

Brain Peak Pros and Cons

Advantages of Brain Peak

The ingredients are all natural.
The focus is on acetylcholine, which if it works, could potentially boost your brain power.

Disadvantages of Brain Peak

We found no Brain Peak reviews from customers, other than testimonials on the website, which we always take with a grain of salt.
Full ingredient information is not available.
You can only purchase Brain Peak by signing up for a free trial offer, which turns out to be anything but free. It’s actually very expensive.

Where to Buy

At this time, Brain Peak is only available through their online free trial offer. You pay only $4.97 for shipping and handling, and they send you a full 30 day supply. They also automatically sign you up for their monthly autoshipping program. Unless you call within 10 days of ordering your trial, they’ll charge your credit card $139.97 for the “free” trial bottle. On top of that, they’ll send you a new bottle at that same price every month until you cancel.

Lots of supplements use this scheme to sell product. And I can’t tell you the number of guys who write to me that they got scammed. Most people who order have no idea what they’re signing up for. And that’s because that’s how the company wants it. They post it in teeny tiny font as vaguely as possible, so they can catch more unsuspecting customers.

The free trial offer would be one thing if there were another option. That way, things are much more above board. With more options, people tend to investigate each option more thoroughly because in the end they want to choose the best for them. With only one option, Brain Peak customer tend to simply click through.

Conclusion

I haven’t tried Brain Peak myself. It may be a decent nootropic supplement. But when a company deliberate sets out to trap customers into repeat business, it’s got to put up a red flag. Their cause is also not helped by the fact that they are calling themselves the “real NZT drug” from the film Limitless. There are better options. I recommend you go with something else.

Adderin Review – Limitless Pill or Scam?

For anyone who has every taken Adderall, you know it’s a powerful drug that works great for focus and concentration.

In an attempt to mimic the effects of prescription drugs like Adderall, there’s been a surge of all natural supplements coming to the market.

Many of them claim that they work just as effectively as ADHD medications, but one recent one I came across says it’s actually 11X more potent then Adderall.

On top of this, they also claim that it produces NO side effects, and is completely legal, and you can now buy it relatively cheap online.

Of course, it should be noted that there are no medications or supplements that are entirely without side effects as that is just not possible, but hey, maybe Adderin is the first supplement to achieve such a feat.

The name of this supposed miracle supplement is none other then Adderin, which sounds remarkably similar to a product we’ve tested called Addium.

So is it really all it’s cracked up to be? Likely not, and you’ll find out why in this review.

What is Adderin

(watch my vid or scroll below it for more info)
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_rt0KzDYS8]

Adderin is apparently an all natural supplement designed to promote mental alertness, reduce stress, increase focus and productivity, and significantly reduce physical and mental fatigue.

Instead of just accessing 10% of your brain, Adderin is literally supposed to allow you to access the other 90%, making you nearly superhuman.

If that is true as they claim, that would make Adderin the very first supplement of its kind to ever produce such effects.

So what’s in it that makes Adderin so effective?

As is usual with many of these supplements, the list of ingredients is not given on the sales page I am looking at.

However, I did get a chance to look at the official Adderin site and they list the ingredients as Alpha GPC, Tyrosine, Bacopa Monnier, GABA, Vinpocetine, and Huperzine A.

Unsurprisingly, all of these same ingredients are found in a totally different product with a very similar name called Addium.

We’ll talk more about this below, but now that we know what the ingredients are, can they really make a difference?

Well, yes and no…

For example, Alpha GPC is a natural choline chemical found in the brain that has shown evidence of helping men and women suffering from Alzheimer’s disease.

However, there is no evidence suggesting it may help increase cognitive ability in healthy, normal folks.

Gamma-Aminobutyric-Acid (GABA) has been anecdotally shown to help relieve anxiety, improve mood, and is actually a chemical that is produced in the brain. However, as far as helping to treat symptoms associated with ADHD, there is insufficient evidence showing it can really make a difference.

False and Deceptive Marketing

The first time I learned about Adderin I was flipping through my Facebook page while waiting to get a root canal done at my dentists office.

The suggested news post featured a photo of an attractive news anchor from MSNBC, and the headline screamed:

“FDA Approved: Breakthrough new “Limitless Pill” that men 26 – 50 are using to get ahead of the competition finally hits the US market.” and then a subheading that read: “11X stronger than Adderall and 100% safe”…

See a screenshot below:

Knowing it was likely bulls%$t, I immediately thought to dismiss it.

But, in the interest of helping out the readers on my blog, I decided to check it out anyway.

Well, when I clicked on the ad it took me to a page that looked like the NBC news website, complete with “breaking news” sections and links to other pages.

According to the article, a Dr. Raqif spilled the beans on Adderin on the TV show “The Doctors”, calling it ‘viagra for the brain’ and a revolutionary breakthrough in science.

Never mind the fact that Dr. Raqif has NEVER appeared on the Dr. Oz Show, much less stated the above.

However, the thing that struck me immediately was their reference to the movie “Limitless”, starring Bradley Cooper.

If you haven’t seen it yet, basically Bradley Cooper is given a pill that gives him “Limitless” capabilities with his brain.

Instead of just using 10% of his brain, he is able to access 100% of it, and as a result he becomes super smart and rich in the process. Within the news article, they say that the inspiration behind the movie was actually due in part to the creators of Addium.

Here’s a snapshot of the tweet they referenced:

The problem with this is…it’s complete and utter bullshit. How do I know this? Well, I just so happened to visit the REAL twitter page for the Limitless movie and here’s what it REALLY says.

This isn’t the first time I’ve seen this…the makers of Addium did the same thing, as well as a couple of others.

They go on to say that the FDA banned the use of Adderin, but after 3 years of litigation and clinical studies proving it is safe, the FDA decided to lift the ban. This…is also bullshit.

First off, it’s an herbal supplement, which doesn’t require any approval / disapproval by the FDA.

I can make a pill, call it something like Adderiumum, inject the pills with a couple of vitamins, slap a fancy label on it, and sell it.

All without any approval from the FDA.

The third piece of bullshit from all of this was the ad where you saw all of this. What actually looks like the MSBNC website is indeed, not the REAL NBC website.

It’s a fake article, or Farticle for short. It’s designed to give you the impression that you’re on the real website, when indeed it’s a complete fake.

How do I know this? Well, I just so happen to have the website featuring Adderin open, let’s take a quick look and see what we can find out.

1.) Look at the address in the url bar, it says balletjewelworld dot com. If you were on the real MSNBC website, don’t you think it would say something like msnbc.com or nbc.com?

2.) When I try to click on anything else on the page, it doesn’t do anything. I doubt this is a problem with my computer, so what’s the issue? Well, my guess is they don’t want you leaving the page, so essentially force you to stay on it.

Here’s a quick video screen cast I made up below:

[vimeo 137195390 w=500 h=375]

Other Products That Use The Same FALSE Marketing…

There’s literally dozens of other supplements out there that use this “fake” marketing strategy, including Addium (which I mentioned above), Alpha ZXT, Brainfire, Intellux and Geniux, and many more.

I am in the process of writing a big post about it which will include all of the supplements that employ this type of false marketing, so check back again soon.

Adderin Vs. Addium

So I touched on this earlier in the review, but I wanted to expand on it here to clue you into to potentially another scam going on. To me, it appears that the makers of Addium have marketed and developed Adderin as a replacement to their original formula.

I suspect this for a few reasons…

Reason #1: The labels for each are practically identical. As you’ll see in the photo below, apart from a few small changes to the text, they essentially look the same.

Instead of Addiums tagline “For Increased Brain Power”, you have Adderins tagline “For a More Powerful Brain”.

Instead of the Title “Cerebral Enhancement Complex” found at the top of Addium, it says “Brain Enhancement Complex” at the top of Adderin.

Reason #2: The ingredients for each are essentially the same. As you’ll see in the photo below, they appear to both have nearly the same identical formula, with only 2 small changes.

It looks like they reduced the amount of Niacin by about 10 mg, and reduced their proprietary blend by 45 mg, although we don’t know exactly which one(s) were reduced.

Now this could simply be just a blatant copycat, someone who is deliberately piggybacking off the Addium brand. I did a little bit of research on the companies behind these supplements, and found that the makers of Adderin share the same address with a completely different supplement called Ketone Thin.

After a quick glance of the property on Google earth, it looks like it’s simply a distribution center that distributes a wide variety of supplements. However, this same address is not shared by the same one as Addium.

My Results With Adderin

I finally got a bottle of Adderin and the first thing I noticed was my suspicions were confirmed…

The ingredients on the label were nearly IDENTICAL to those of Addium, with the only change being a 10 mg reduction in the Niacin content (I mentioned this above if you haven’t seen it already). So, unsurprisingly, my results with Adderin were essentially IDENTICAL to those of my experiment with Addium.

I took one capsule first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, and to be honest, I felt no effects whatsoever. At first I thought I felt a bit of an increase in motivation / focus, but I attribute it to a placebo effect.

I didn’t have any mind blowing sense of clarity or creativity, nor did it help to calm me down or reduce anxiety.

The only thing I noticed was a bit of facial flushing and a sense of feeling “hot”. The likely reason behind this is the fact that it contains Niacin, as this is a very common side effect from using the extract.

I tried it out for a few more days, hoping to eventually see some sort of positive effects from Adderin, but was left disappointed.

I called them up to cancel my free trial, and after them trying to get me to keep it for a reduced price, was able to fully cancel. This was in August of 2015.

Plot Twist! (5/2/2017)

So I go to pick up my mail about 2 months ago and I look in the box and there’s this envelope with some supplements in it. I get supplements sent to me all the time, and in some cases I won’t open the package until like a week or two later.

I finally opened it up, and wouldn’t you know it?

It was a bottle of Adderin.

Strange.

I did a quick search through my bank account and didn’t see any charges, so I just dismissed it and figured it was just as mistake on their end.

Fast forward one month later, and all of a sudden another bottle shows up in my mailbox.

Ok, now I’m going to get to the bottom of this.

I logged into my bank account and started searching through my transactions when I came across this:

That’s right, they magically restarted my auto rebill.

What’s even weirder is I KNOW for for a fact that I cancelled my trial about 14 months ago.

So why all of a sudden are they sending more Adderin bottles to me and charging me?

I called their customer service number at 727-498-4811 and spoke with “Mario”.

He said the reason i was being charged was that I was on a rebill arrangement with them!

I told him more than once that I cancelled it well over a year ago, but that’s not what his records apparently say.

In either case, he agreed to cancel my auto shipments and said I wouldn’t be getting any further bottles sent to me.

I even got an email confirming this:

Since I don’t plan on taking any more of this stuff, I’ve decided I’m going to give away 2 bottles to 2 different visitors to this page.

Update (10/1/2015) Frequently Asked Questions

Is it approved by the FDA

There’s a lot of rumors circulating that Adderin was recently approved by the FDA, but that is completely and utterly FALSE. The fact is, no supplement has to be approved by the FDA.

They only regulate the approval of pharmaceutical drugs, NOT supplements.

How do I take it

The directions on the label state that you should take 1 capsule daily.

How long does it take to work

They say the effects should be felt after just one dose, but as I noted in my personal review, I didn’t feel anything. Others have noted that they have felt the effects kick in after about 30 – 45 minutes.

Is this the real “limitless pill”

Based on my particular results, I can say with a resounding NO that this supplement does not work like some limitless pill. As a matter of fact, most of the supplements I’ve tested that have called themselves a “limitless pill” turned out to be complete duds.

Was it really seen on CNN, MSNBC, The Doctors, and Forbes magazine

No. They just try to make you think it was by making fake pages that mimic the layout and look of those websites. You can see for yourself by simply typing the name of the supplement in to google and then whatever media publication you like (i.e. adderin cnn).

Does it work like Adderall

Not even close. Because Adderall is basically legal speed, there is practically no herbal extract that can completely mimic its effects. The upside is that drugs like Adderall tend to produce a wide range of negative side effects, while the makers of Adderin say their supplement is completely side effect free.

But is this statement really true?

Are there any side effects

Yes. The most common side effect that seems to be reported is hot flashes, rashes, and a feeling of burning / itching skin. This is no doubt attributed to the niacin content, which is about 20 mg per serving.

Additionally, one of its other primary ingredients called Huperzine A has been known to cause blurred vision, slurred speech, restlessness, twitching, and high blood pressure.

The simple fact is that it’s possible to get side effects from almost ANYTHING you’re ingesting, including Adderin.

Where can I buy it

If you’re that hell bent on giving it a shot, you can pick up a bottle on their official website www.buyadderin.com. One bottle retails for $49.85 each, plus shipping.

You can buy larger quantities and get discounts, with a buy 3 bottles get 2 free deal that lowers the per bottle cost to $29.99 a piece.

As far as I can tell, it’s not available in stores like GNC, Walmart, CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid, and others. Amazon used to carry it, but it is no longer available for sale.

It’s also not available for sale in the UK, Canada, and Australia.

Pro’s

We know the formula is all natural, so they have that going for them.
You can buy it conveniently online.
It probably won’t kill you if you take it.

Con’s

Personally speaking, I saw practically no results from it.
Most of the reviews I’ve read are terrible.
Many users have reported dreadful side effects.
They use false and deceptive marketing to sell their product.
It’s suspiciously similar in ingredients profile and pricing to a supplement called Addium.
Not available in stores.

Recommendation

All in all, I would say that the people responsible for this new supplement called Adderin are directly related to another supplement called Addium.

What happens is, when thousands of people start ordering a supplement like this one, try it, and find out that it doesn’t work at all, it starts to get a bunch of negative publicity online.

So, in an effort to keep scamming people out of their hard earned money, they simply slap a new label on the product, keep the same ingredients, change up the marketing a little bit, and rinse and repeat the process.

I gave it a fair shot, and from my own personal point of view, I would say take a pass on this one.

Garcinia Life Plus Review – Does It Work?

Garcinia Life Plus Overview

Ever since Dr. Oz talked about it on his show, Garcinia Cambogia has been the hottest weight loss ingredient out there. Even the criticism Dr. Oz has since taken for being a shill for certain products hasn’t dampened the enthusiasm. Clinical evidence is pretty sparse and inconclusive, but anecdotally, people are loving this stuff. We came across a garcinia supplement recently called Garcinia Life Plus, and checked it out to see if it lives up to the hype.

Garcinia Life Plus is available online, which is where you’ll find most of the information you need to decide if it’s something you want to take. It promises to:

Burn fat constantly, even while you’re at rest or sleeping.
Boost energy.
Suppress your appetite.
Prevent carbohydrates from being converted to fat, instead making sure they’re used for energy.

So how exactly does Garcinia Life Plus work?

Garcinia Life Plus Ingredients and How They Work

The primary active ingredient in Garcinia Life Plus is the HCA, or Hydroxycitric Acid, Extract found in the Garcinia Cambogia fruit. This is the “miracle” substance that everyone is talking about. It’s list of benefits includes:

Preventing food calories from being stored as fat in existing fat cells.
Preventing the formation of new fat cells.
Decreasing your appetite.
Reducing belly fat.
Boosting your metabolism
Elevating your mood.

The HCA in Garcinia Life Plus is in the recommended 60% concentration and at the recommended dose of 1000mg.

Garcinia Life Plus Pros and Cons

Advantages of Garcinia Life Plus

The ingredients are all natural.
The HCA in Garcinia Life Plus shows promise as potentially beneficial to weight loss.

Disadvantages of Garcinia Life Plus

It’s only available through a free trial offer.
Full ingredient information is not disclosed.

Where to Buy

At this time, Garcinia Life Plus is only available on the internet and only by engaging in their “free trial” offer. What that means is that on their website, you sign up to pay only a small shipping fee, and they send you a full one-month supply bottle. In the fine print, it states that by signing up for the trial, you are also signing up for their monthly automatic shipping program. If you don’t call and cancel your “trial” within 14 days of your original order date, you’ll be billed $79.95 for the original bottle, and you’ll be signed up to receive a new one at that same price every month going forward until you cancel.

While it is actually stated on the order page, it’s written in very small print, and that’s no accident. Lots of online supplement companies do this. But if you ask me, any company selling a quality product wouldn’t need to engage in this kind of practice to make repeat sales.

Conclusion

Garcinia Cambogia may be the next great thing in weight loss. Time and science will tell. But in the meantime, don’t bother with free trial scammy supplements like Garcinia Life Plus.

A lot of these fat burners actually try to tell you you can sit around, eat whatever you want, and still lose weight. I can’t imagine people believing it, but I guess when you’ve tried everything and you’re frustrated, you’ll try anything. And these supplement companies know that.

Phentaslim is a weight loss supplement being pretty heavily promoted online. While they don’t recommend sitting on your ass as a weight loss plan, they do play up the power this supplement has to help you in your weight loss efforts. Phentaslim:

Reduces your excess body fat.
Decreases hunger and cravings.
Gives you more energy and motivation
Boosts your metabolism.
Supports focus and drive to succeed.

Phentaslim Ingredients and How They Work

The Phentaslim formula consists of 15 natural ingredients including:

Green Tea Catechins which increase fat burning without increasing your heart rate.
Caffeine for energy, appetite suppression, and focus.
L-Theanine which works well with caffeine to reduce stress and anxiety.
L-Carnitine to boost your metabolism and improve the process of converting fat to energy.
L-Tyrosine which increases fat burning at rest.
And several essential vitamins and minerals to support both weight loss and overall health and wellness.

The recommended dose is 2 Phentaslim capsules per day, one about 20 minutes before breakfast, the other about 20 minutes before lunch.

Phentaslim Pros and Cons

Advantages of Phentaslim

The ingredients are all natural, and some are widely believed to he helpful for losing weight.
All the ingredients are listed, which is a big plus since as you know a lot of supplements don’t want you to know what’s actually in them.
Plenty of great Phentaslim reviews from customers who’ve lost a good amount of weight. A lot of them specifically mention the appetite suppression and energy.

Disadvantages of Phentaslim

There are no clinical studies proving it’s effective.

Where to Buy

Phentaslim is only available through their official website, though they have a US website and a UK website. A single bottle is a one month supply and costs $59.95 with no autoshipping deals (thank goodness!). You can save on the per bottle cost by buying several at a time. For instance, if you buy 3 bottles for $129.95, you’ll get one free bottle. There’s a 30 day money back guarantee. It applies to one opened bottle and all the unopened bottles you return.

Conclusion

Weight loss takes time and effort more than anything else. But supplements can be a great way to help with progress and motivation. Given the ingredients, the reviews, and the money back guarantee, Phentaslim is a good choice.

Nootropics – Smart Pills Glossary

Nootropics are a relatively new category of supplements that are essentially referred to as “smart drugs”. They are compounds or a mix of compounds that aid in increasing cognitive abilities, focus and motivation, as well as short and long term memory function.

We here at SupplementCritique.com have been testing dozens of these supposed ‘brain pills’ and continually strive to give you the most up to date and factual information concerning these supplements.

The below compounds are commonly found in a wide variety of Nootropic supplements, and the purpose of this glossary is to help you get a better understanding of how they are supposed to work.

Sorted A – Z

1,3 Dimethylamylamine (DMAA)

DMAA is a substance that used to be found in literally dozens of supplements, ranging from cognitive enhancers to pre-workout supplements. Originally developed and marketed as a nasal decongestant, DMAA worked by constricting blood vessels and operated as a very effective stimulant.

I personally have used dozens of supplements containing DMAA, and it was my “drug of choice” for a long time when I needed a kick to get my workouts going or sit down and study. However, the FDA banned it’s use in supplements in 2013, effectively removing it from the market.

Alpha GPC

A natural choline compound found in the brain, Alpha GPC actually delivers choline to the brain via the blood brain barrier. Some studies suggest that, via the use of Alpha GPC compounds, persons suffering from cognitive disorders including stroke and Alzheimers disease saw a recovery in their symptoms with 28 days of usage.

Alpha GPC can be found in numerous cognitive enhancement products, including Alpha Brain, Mental Bright, and Addium.

Bacopa (Bacopin)

Bacopa monierri, also known as Brahmi, is a plant native to India that has been traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine for a whole host of problems, but especially those of anxiety and intellect. In rat studies, Brahmi improved memory retention and reduced amnesia caused by electroconvulsive shock, scopolamine intoxication, and/or immobilization. Scary stuff….

Bacopa’s effect on humans was put to the test in a double-blind, randomized study with a placebo control group. All of the volunteers were healthy and between the ages 40 and 65.

The Facts

Each group was given a capsule (whether Bacopa or placebo) of either 300 mg if the individual weighed less than 90 kg or 450 mg if he or she weighed more than 90 kg.
Seventy-six subjects completed the trial – four from each group left, only one of whom left due to gastrointestinal difficulties with Bacopa.
Three tests (lasting approximately an hour) were given to each patient, including:

baseline (first) test (before medication is administered)
six to eight weeks into the trial to check-in (no test)
second test approximately three months later, then patient ceases taking capsules
post-trial (third) test approximately six weeks later

A testing session consists of completing various tasks that measure a multitude of memory-related abilities, as well as psychological state.

Bitter Orange Extract (Synephrine)

Bitter Orange is a plant native to practically every continent in the world, and is actually a banned substance by the NCAA and other sports regulatory organizations.

It works similarly to DMAA, and has been used in the past both as a nasal decongestant, and to help people suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome. Not surpsignly, it has also found it’s way into a wide array of weight loss / fat burning supplements, including Cellucor C4 Extreme, Alpha Rush Pro, and Shred JYM.

In these products it’s typically marketed as an “ephedrine free” formula, namely because it supposedly works similarly to the now banned substance Ephedrine.

Caffeine

The worlds most consumed drug, Caffeine has long been known as the most commonly used nootropic substance. It’s used in practically every nootropic supplement we’ve tested to varying degrees, and is commonly stacked with numerous other nootropics like L-Theanine and GABA.

The most interesting thing to note about Caffeine is that it is widely marketed under different names and in different forms. If you see the ingredients yerba mate, methylxathine, Trimethylxanthine, or 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine, don’t be fooled.

They’re are just fancy names for caffeine.

Choline

Choline and its derivatives are not vitamins per se, but in 1998 the Institute of Medicine (IOM) recognized them as essential nutrients. The reasoning underlying this decision was that choline is necessary in a variety of ways for the maintenance of human health.

According to Oregon State University’s Linus Pauling Institute, choline is: used in the synthesis of structural components needed to maintain cell membrane integrity, a precursor to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (which is involved in muscle control and memory), and able to keep both fat and cholesterol from collecting in the liver.

Dimethylaminoethanol (DMAE)

DMAE has been widely used to help people suffering from a wide range of disorders, including ADHD, Alzheimers, and Autism. It’s actually used to build the chemical choline, and may increase the production of acetylcholine.

Some of the benefits of DMAE supplement ingestion include improved memory and mood, increased intelligence, imporoved athletic performance, and increase physical energy.

GABA (gamma-Aminobutyric Acid)

GABA is an amino acid that is the chief inhibitory neurotransmitter in humans. This is another substance that is present in practically every nootropic supplement we’ve tested, and it’s been shown to help cause feelings of relaxation and calm, and even may help to suppress motion sickness.

You can find GABA in practically EVERY nootropic supplement on the market, including Adderin and Geniux.

As a nootropic substance, GABA is interesting. Because it is unable to pass through the blood brain barrier in sufficient quantities, some say it’s completely ineffective.

However, there is a substance called Phenibut which essentially put’s a “phenyl ring” around GABA and allow it to cross the blood brain barrier. The effect is enormous, producing feelings of calm, intense focus, but not making you feel tired / dizzy.

Ginkgo Biloba

Used for thousands of years in Ancient Chinese medicine, Ginkgo Biloba has been used to treat numerous problems, including anxiety, dementia, vision problems, mental functioning (including memory and thinking speed), and even help women with PMS symptoms.

I have personally taken many supplements containing it throughout the years, and it works even more effectively when stacked with other compounds like Ginseng and L-Theanine.

Gingko Biloba is a bit controversial in nature, as some consumer groups have urged the FDA to call for it’s ban after a federal study found that the supplement has the potential to cause liver cancer in mice. As of 2015, Gingko Biloba is still readily available over the counter.

Ginseng

Ginseng has been claimed to help a wide array of issues, including helping men suffering from Erectile Dysfunction (ED), helping act as a stimulant in pre workout supplements, and even used as a treatment for type 2 diabetes.

There are basically 2 variations of Ginseng: Korean Ginseng and American Ginseng. The vast majority of supplements containing Ginseng use the Korean (or Asian) variety, most notably because it apparently has more beneficial effects than it’s American counterpart.

The use of Ginseng as a nootropic is somewhat controversial. Proponents of the extract say that it can help people with mood disorders, help to increase mental performance, and even help in people with learning disabilities.

Opponents cite the lack of concrete clinical studies available on these claims, attributing most of them as anecdotal in nature.

Huperzine A

Huperzia serrata, a plant which contains the alkaloid Huperzine A, is another medicament that, for whatever reason(s), all too often gets swept under the rug and is not given nearly enough of the attention it deserves. WebMd has a great section on Huperzine A’s uses in the treatment of age-related memory problems and Alzheimer’s disease. This supplement shows promise in improving memory, learning, and energy levels.

L-Theanine

L-Theanine is used for treating anxiety, preventing Alzheimer’s disease, and potentiating cancer drugs (making them more effective) according to its entry on WebMD.

As a nootropic substance, L-Theanine is commonly stacked with stimulants like Caffeine and bitter orange. Theyre taken in combination because the normally unpleasant side effects of caffeine such as anxiety and jitteriness are countered by the l-theanine. You may experience alertness and lucidity without any unnecessary nervousness.

I have personally taken L-Theanine with caffeine and can attest to its effectiveness.

Niacin

Otherwise known as Vitamin B3, Niacin has been shown in numerous studies to help with lowering triglycerides, and even boost levels of good cholesterol. AS a nootropic, it’s been shown in limited studies to help lower the risk of Alzheimers disease, and even help with memory and cognition.

However, this doesn’t come without a price. There are a broak range of side effects associated with its use, including a flushing of the skin, skin redness, heart palpitations, and upset stomach, to name a few.

It’s suggested that you take Niacin on a full stomach to alleviate / prevent these symptoms.

Meta Boost Review – Should You Use It?

Meta Boost Overview

Natural testosterone boosters are pretty much becoming a must-have if you’re over 30 and want to get in the best shape of your life. That’s because of the simple fact that once you hit 30, your T levels start declining to a noticeable degree, and if want to get them back up, you have two choices. You can go with hormone replacement therapy which requires doctors, prescriptions, and side effects. Or you can go with a natural testosterone booster which gives you comparable results, but without any of the negatives.

Meta Boost is a natural testosterone booster you can find online. It promises great gains in strength and athleticism as well as improvements in libido and sexual performance, though their primary focus seems to be on the athletic gains you can make. It promises improved post workout recovery, greater muscle to fat ratios, and increased muscle density. Since it’s true that these are the same claims made by pretty much every testosterone booster, we took a closer look at the ingredients to see if Meta Boost can deliver.

Meta Boost Ingredients and How They Work

Finding ingredient information about Meta Boost proved to be difficult. In the end, we found it through a third party, so we are unable to conclusively verify the list. With that said, here’s what we found:

Zinc, a very necessary part of the testosterone production process within the body.
Magnesium, also important to the chemical reaction in the body that produces testosterone.
Vitamin B6 for energy and hormone balance.
D-Aspartic Acid which is said to increase testosterone levels. In fact, a clinical study backs that up.
Tribulus Terrestris which may increase testosterone levels stimulating the release of Luteinizing Hormone, which stimulates an increased testosterone production.

The daily recommendation is 2 capsules.

Meta Boost Pros and Cons

Advantages of Meta Boost

The ingredients are all focused on boosting testosterone. A lot of these supplements add fillers and sexual enhancers in the place of actual testosterone boosting ingredients.

Disadvantages of Meta Boost

The ingredient amounts are unfortunately too small to have much effect.
It looks like it may have been taken off the market.

Where to Buy

Meta Boost was one of those free trial products we talk so much about. It has even been featured in that dreaded article that promotes 2 supplements as the magic muscle builder all the stars are using. But all of that seems to have disappeared, at least for now. You can find plenty of “reviews” with the option to click through to the free trial, but the link is either broken or it takes you somewhere else, to the free trial of a different product.

Conclusion

In the end, Meta Boost was just another of a hundred or more free trial products that I wouldn’t recommend. So truthfully, I wasn’t not disappointed in the least when it turned out to be no longer available. But take it as further proof that these free trial products really are scams. Even the distributors themselves see them as interchangeable.

Biomerch Testosterone Booster Review

Biomerch Testosterone Booster Overview

I’ve pretty much lost track of how many testosterone boosting supplements there are on the market today. There’s good and bad to that. It gets tough to choose which one, but on the other hand, the fact that we have as many choices as we do means that in order to get and sustain our business, a product has to be pretty good. We definitely have a few favorites, but we’re always willing to look at one more, on the chance it may knock it out of the park and leave the others in its dust.

Biomerch Testosterone Booster is one I came across recently. Its promises are pretty standard, and include:

Enhanced muscle.
Improved strength.
Increased fat burning.
Bone mass maintenance.
Renewed energy.
Increased libido and improved sexual performance.

Biomerch Testosterone Booster Ingredients and How They Work

In some ways, Biomerch Testosterone Booster is very similar to most of the others, but in some ways it’s quite a bit different. The Biomerch Testosterone Booster formula is made up of proprietary amounts of:

Vitamin C, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, and Vitamin D3.
Creatine Monohydrate to increase fast twitch muscle energy and strength.
Magnesium Chelate which improve the functioning of muscles and nerves.
Nitric Oxide which is a vasodilator that improves blood flow by opening up blood vessels.
Zinc which is used in the body’s natural testosterone productions process.
Calcium which helps maintain a healthy heart and strong bones.
Tribulus Terrestris which is believed to increase the amount of testosterone made naturally by the body. It does this by signaling for the release of increased Lutienizing Hormone which in turn signals for the production and release of increased testosterone.

Biomerch Testosterone Booster Pros and Cons

Advantages of Biomerch Testosterone Booster

The ingredients are all natural.
There’s a focus on bodybuilding benefits with the inclusion of creatine.
It’s reasonably priced.

Disadvantages of Biomerch Testosterone Booster

They say it contains Nitric Oxide, but it’s not helpful or possible to have NO as an ingredient. Generally, a supplement will contain a precursor like L-Arginine that converts to NO in the body. The fact that they say Biomerch Testosterone Booster contains NO makes us suspicious of how well they know their business, and how well informed they want their customers to be.
There’s really only one testosterone boosting ingredient in the formula and that’s Tribulus Terrestris, not the most powerful or effective.

Where to Buy

You can purchase Biomerch Testosterone Booster online through the Biomerch website. The cost of a one month supply is $69.95, and there’s a 90-day money back guarantee.

Conclusion

Biomerch Testosterone Booster seems like more of a muscle building supplement than a testosterone booster, but either way, it wouldn’t be my top choice. There are so many solid supplements to choose from. I wouldn’t bother with Biomerch Testosterone Booster.

Quercetin Max Review – Should You Use It?

Quercetin Max Overview

We’ve been coming across a bunch of anti-aging supplements lately. Some of them are new, and some have been around for quite a while but are just now getting our attention. Quercetin Max is one of the more well-established options. In fact, they claim it’s the number 1 anti-aging supplement in the world. And it’s no wonder with a list of benefits like this. According to their marketing materials, Quercetin Max will:

Sharpen your memory.
Decrease anxiety.
Help you get a more restful sleep.
Clear your vision and reduce cataracts and glaucoma.
Increase your energy and appetite.
Relieve back and joint pain.
Reduce the effects of asthma.
Improve your cardiovascular system.
Eliminate digestive issues.
Boost your sex drive.
Eliminate urinary infections.
Alleviate eczema, wrinkles, and varicose veins.
Strengthen bones.

Now that’s quite a list. Let’s take a look at the formula to see if Quercetin Max has any hope of accomplishing it.

Quercetin Max Ingredients and How They Work

Quercetin Max is a daily liquid supplement. You take 5 drops twice a day for proper dosing. The primary ingredient is of course Quercetin. Quercetin is a phytochemical found in the skins of red fruits and vegetables like apples, red onions, blueberries, and tomatoes. It’s mainly known as an antioxiadnt and anti-inflammatory, but it also has benefits to exercise endurance. It’s been commonly used for years to improve the circulatory system and diabetic eye problems, though there is no clinical evidence to support those uses.

Quercetin Max Pros and Cons

Advantages of Quercetin Max

It is widely accepted that the quercetin in Quercetin Max contains antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
It comes in a liquid so if you don’t like taking pills, it’s not a problem.

Disadvantages o f Quercetin Max

The only place we could find to purchase it is eBay, which means it’s probably been discontinued.
We found no Quercetin Max reviews from customers to help us know how it works in the real world.
There’s a lot of information about quercetin, but not specifically Quercetin Max.

Where to Buy

The only place we could find to purchase Quercetin Max was eBay. A 1 ounce bottle with eye dropper is currently selling for $42.

Conclusion

It may be a good idea to add quercetin to your supplement regimen. It’s already been shown to be beneficial in some ways, and studies are ongoing, so more benefits could be found. The problems I find with Quercetin Max are that it claims to be offer way more benefits than it possibly can, and it’s expensive. There’s likely a better way to bet your quercetin than by using Quercetin Max.

With that being said, if you do a little bit of digging you are going to be sure to find some supplements that may contain quercetin or other similar properties that will help in adding a little bit of grace to the aging process for you.

Probolan 50 Review – Should You Use It?

Probolan 50 is a new bodybuilding supplement coming out of Poland that promises to replace all the stacks you used to need with just one product. By taking Probolan 50, you’ll put on maximum muscle mass, and your results will start to be visible in as little as 48 hours. They claim that until recently, it was only available to a select group of elite athletes, but now anyone can experience the benefits of results in 48 hours.

In just 48 hours, your testosterone will be boosted by 400%, you’ll see visible growth in muscle mass, you’ll feel an increase in strength and motivation, and your fat will be converted to pure muscle. Those are pretty huge promises, so we’ll have to look into the Probolan 50 formula to see if it can deliver.

Probolan 50 Ingredients and How They Work

The official Probolan 50 website has a very complete FAQ section, with one very important piece of the puzzle missing. The piece that’s missing is the formula. There is almost no information about the ingredients used to get you to these amazing results. A few hints are provided:

They say that it blocks conversion of testosterone to DHT. They say that only organic ingredients are used in the formula and there are no harmful or illegal substances. They say it contains an estrogen blocker and inhibits the action of Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG). But that’s as specific as Probolan 50 gets for most of its ingredients.

The one named substance is Epihydroxetiolan-17-Ester Matrix which is said to be “made from” the unique blend in Probolan 50. This matrix is what drives the 400% increase in testosterone levels.

I did a little research on Epihydroxetiolan-17-Ester, and there really isn’t a ton of information on it apart from some vague mentions in other Probolan 50 reviews.

There’s no Wiki page describing the compound, nor will you find any info on it in BodyBuilding.com’s forum, WebMD, or NIH.gov.

According to their official website, there was a clinical study conducted by a Dr. Steven Price, who we’re guessing is the renowned gastroenterologist who practices in Miami, FL.

Probolan 50 provides excerpts of his report on their website, showing that he was very surprised at how effective Probolan 50 turned out to be.

Here’s an excerpt from his report:

However, they don’t link to the studies themselves.

This is very concerning.

While they may be showing you the positive aspects of this trial, they may be hiding some of the negative aspects of his report, including details on potential side effects with Probolan 50.

How To Use It

The recommended dosing depends on how long of a cycle you intend to use. If you’re just using it for a month, during the first week, take 1 capsule daily, during the second week, take 2 capsules daily, during the 3rd week take 3 capsules daily, during the 4th week, take 2 capsules daily, during the 5th week take 1 capsule daily. This protocol changes if you’re using a longer cycle.

Customer Reviews

There’s plenty of Probolan 50 reviews from customers who appear to have used it. However, most of those reviews are in other languages like Polish, Spanish, and Italian, none of which I speak.

There was one youtube video review that actually had english subtitles, and the reviewer noted very positive results with Probolan 50. Check it out below:

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoZXUGlGSug]

Right around the 1:20 mark he makes a claim that can’t be substantiated, and that’s “It helps transform fat into muscles”.

This is physiologically impossible to do.

The fact that he says this leads me to believe that he either:

a. Has no idea what he’s talking about, or

b. Is nothing more than a shill, ie someone just trying to pitch the product to you.

Looking deeper into the Youtube reviews you’ll find this relatively useless unboxing of Probolan 50.

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuSSjTtqK5s]

I never understood why people post vids like this. Maybe they’re thinking people want to see if it’s shipped discreetly or something?

I don’t know, but I wouldn’t waste your time watching the whole thing.

Lastly, I found this video review, which luckily is in English.

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdbKJWV-cFA]

Basically he mentions that he got a sample pack of Probolan 50 from one of his friends, and wasn’t expecting much. He says he noticed big results after just 2 days of using it, including increased mental focus in the gym, as well as visible fat reduction.

This of course correlates with their claims, but he doesn’t put a before and after picture of his results with Probolan 50, so we can only take his word for it.

Pros and Cons

Advantages

The ingredients are said to be all natural.
There’s a money back guarantee.

Disadvantages

They don’t provide an ingredients list.
Shipping costs $25.
They promise that you’ll see visible results in just 48 hours.
They claim to offer an unconditional money back guarantee, but when you read more closely you see that it only applies to unopened packages.
There are independent Probolan 50 reviews posted on Youtube, but many are in languages other than English.

Where to Buy

You can only purchase Probolan 50 through the official website, www.probolan50.com. It seems like they ship to virtually every country, including the UK, Australia, Canada, and the US.

However, with no list of ingredients there’s no way we can tell if it would be banned in certain countries.

A one month supply costs $49 plus $25 for shipping. A 10 week cycle goes for $98, and the 16 week cycle sells for $147. There’s a 90-day money back guarantee, but it only applies to unopened packages, meaning that there really is no way to try it and still get your money back if it doesn’t work.

I checked around with my local retailers and it doesn’t appear that they sell Probolan 50 in stores like GNC, Vitamin Shoppe, Walgreens, CVS, or Walmart.

However, I did see it for sale on ebay for about $33, which is significantly cheaper than buying it on their official website.

Conclusion

Probolan 50 looks like all hype and very little help to me. A supplement that wants to be judged on its actual merits won’t make ridiculous claims like “permanent muscle growth” and they’ll tell you what’s in it. They also won’t try to tell you there’s a money back guarantee, then refuse to accept the return after you’ve tried it. I see no reason at all to recommend Probolan 50.

Why even offer a money back guarantee if you are not going to honor it when the time comes that people actually need to return it?

It’s also worth noting that permanent muscle growth and some of the other crazy hormone related claims that they make are not possible and trustworthy supplements are not going to try to ploy buyers with lies.

Vitalabs Monster Stack Pack Review

Vitalabs Monster Stack Pack Overview

The heyday of steroids is long gone, and since then, bodybuilders have turned to supplements in record numbers to help them achieve the goals they’ve set for their bodies and their workouts. Some folks just take one or two products, but a lot of the most serious guys take several supplements at once to create just the right stack to get them the results they want. Still others want the best of both worlds. They want a stack to address each of their needs, but they want the pros to put it together for them. And who can blame them? Not everyone has time for the research it requires to get it right.

You shouldn’t need to be a certified nutritionist in order to find the right supplement for yourself.

Vitalabs Monster Stack Pack is for those guys. It’s a stack of 11 pills (6 capsules and 5 tablets), each put together in a packet that you take with a high carb beverage about an hour before or immediately after you workout. The goals here are to:

Increase testosterone.
Increase creatine.
Increase power and endurance.
Increase energy.

Vitalabs Monster Stack Pack Ingredients and How They Work

Distributed among the 11 pills are a whole lot of ingredients. We won’t list them all but we’ll try to hit the highlights:

The vitamin and mineral base includes Vitamin B6, Vitamin E, Magnesium, Zinc, Copper, and Chromium. These are all commonly used in bodybuilding supplements and multivitamins.

Then there’s:

DHEA for increasing testosterone levels.
Rhodiola Rosea to fight fatigue.
Tribulus Terrestris to increase total testosterone.
Tongkat Ali to Increase free testosterone.
Deer Antler to increase growth hormone levels.
Three kinds of creatine to increase fast twitch muscle strength.
Guarana for energy.
Several Amino Acids for protein synthesis and post workout recovery.
Colostrum for added strength and cell health.
And a host of herbal ingredients with various benefits.

You should take Vitalabs Monster Stack Pack for a cycle of 4-6 weeks, then take 2-4 weeks off before resuming your schedule.

Vitalabs Monster Stack Pack Pros and Cons

Advantages of Vitalabs Monster Stack Pack

It takes the guesswork out of it for you.
The ingredients are all natural.
It’s cheap.

Disadvantages of Vitalabs Monster Stack Pack

11 pills is a lot to take all at once.
There are no Vitalabs Monster Stack Pack reviews from customers available to view online, so it’s tough to tell whether or not it works.
It’s got 100 mg of DHEA, which may be great for some, but I think I lot of people will feel side effects at that level.

Where to Buy

You can purchase Vitalabs Monster Stack Pack through online vendors. We saw the 24 packet supply for as little as $25.95 and as much as $29.95. That’s way down from the original price of $69.95.

Conclusion

Given the price, I would be inclined to recommend you try Vitalabs Monster Stack Pack. For the price, you might get some real help with your workouts and/or post workout recovery. Just make sure you take it with food the first time to make sure that if you do experience side effects from the DHEA, they’ll be as mild as possible.

As always, you should double check with your medical provider to fully sure that nothing inside of Vitalabs Monster Stack Pack is going to interact with any medications that you are currently taking in case you have any doubts about it and always be sure that you are not allergic to it.

DG Health Sleep Aid Overview

It’s not unusual to have a little trouble falling asleep occasionally. In fact, the problem is so pervasive there are probably hundreds of home remedies passed down from generation to generation over hundreds and even thousands of years. From warm milk to hot water bottles, from counting sheep to turning on a fan, everybody’s got some advice for you if you’re having trouble sleeping. Some work sometimes. Some work never.

The chief active ingredient in DG Health Sleep Aid is 25mg of Diphenhydramine HCl . Basically, it’s an antihistimine like you’d find in the Benadryl you use to fight allergy symptoms. It’s also very similar to the motion sickness ingredient in Dramamine, and it’s used in some treatments for Parkinson’s Disease. In addition to its other uses, Diphenhydramine HCl is used in DG Health Sleep Aid and other over-the-counter sleep aid formulas for occasional use at bed time when needed. The recommended dose for adults and children over 12 is 2 caplets.

DG Health Sleep Aid Side Effects

The dose is relatively low, so side effects are mild. Of course, they include sleepiness, but that’s what you’re looking for. It may also cause slight dizziness . Because of its tendency to cause drowsiness, you won’t want to drink alcohol, drive, or operate machinery while taking DG Health Sleep Aid.
