Since the premature demise of the popular ephedrine, caffeine and aspirin stack (due to the intervention of ‘the powers that be’) athletes have been delving into the world of over- the-counter fat burning/ energy enhancing supplements in the hope of finding a viable substitute. Having tried many of these products I can attest to the fact that they usually make you nauseous and jittery and exhibit little in the way of energy enhancing powers.
However, in an effort to find a supplement that actually works, I decided to road test a few of the products currently on the market. Some of them will be familiar to you and some of them you may never have heard of…until now. The first product on review probably falls under the latter category and it is…

THERMOGENESIS (Nature’s Lab)

I came across this product on the web and was curious to try it out. The formula claims to be a natural herbal equivalent of the previously mentioned ephedrine-caffeine-aspirin stack.

Each capsule contains:

Ephedra (8% Ephedrine): 375mg

Kola-Nut (Standardized to 75% Caffeine): 375mg

White Willow Bark: 50mg

Chromium Picolinate: 400mg

THE ROAD TEST

Okay, so now we know what the contents are, let’s move forward and put it to the test…
The first thing you are going to notice on taking your first capsule is a surge of heat rushing through your body. The time it takes for this ‘surge’ to arrive depends on the rate at which you normally metabolize supplements. For me this is just a little over 30 mins. Anyone who is familiar with the use of these fat burning supplements should be aware of this individual time lapse and not immediately rush to take another capsule assuming that the first did not ‘work’. This could cause great discomfort – not to mention serious health consequences for those sensitive to stimulatory supplements.

After the initial body temperature rise what you will find with this product is not a jolt of jittery energy but a slow and steady boost which lasts for at least five hours. You will notice that I said ‘slow and steady’ and that is the key. If you are anticipating a mad rush of power then you will be disappointed OR you will be tempted to take another capsule too soon (I’d say four hours after your first capsule is way too soon). If you do this I guarantee that you will go through an hour of feeling dizzy, nauseas and just plain ill!
On the plus side, this is a great pre- workout supplement. Take a capsule, give it about an hour and then I guarantee you will be itching to tear up the gym and take every set to the max! Used like this you cannot go wrong. You are guaranteed to have an awesome session if you channel all the extra energy and aggression this supplement provides.

Make no mistake this is a numero uno gym-blasting partner.

If you are using it just to ‘see you through the day’ be aware of the aforementioned ‘double kick’. Adding another capsule just for an extra late afternoon kick will leave you sick, dizzy, nauseas and praying for a reprieve if you promise to not be so stupid (inpatient) again. For some reason with this combo one is great, two is crazy!

In summary, this is one heck of a product that deserves your immediate attention. I have been advised that supplies are limited and the chances are the product may disappear completely as the FDA clamps down on everything in sight.

To buy THERMOGENIS contact SNDONLINE.NET immediately as it is currently on offer and may not be available for much longer.

In conclusion I would have to say that this supplement is the closest natural alternative to Clenbuterol you can currently get – despite some other advertiser claims. It gives you all the heat without the heartache of sides that accompany hardcore clen use.

Rating? I’d give it a 5 out of 5. Just be careful not to overdo it. In this case err on the low side at first just to check your tolerance.

(Testosterone blend: 30mg Testosterone Propionate, 60mg Testosterone Phenylpropionate, 60mg Testosterone Isocaproate, 100mg Testosterone Decanoate)

Sustanon 250 is an oil based injectable testosterone blend. Its popularity lies in the fact that it presents the user with a blend of four different testosterone esters: Propionate, Phenylpropionate, Isocaproate and Decanoate. This allows for a fast yet sustained release of testosterone which stays active in the system for around three weeks.

The Propionate and Phenylpropionate esters are the first to be released in the system and take effect within the first four days, whilst the Isocaproate and Decanoate remain active for two to three weeks respectively. This supplies the user with the obvious advantage of more sustained testosterone levels throughout its active life – unlike the shorter activity of other testosterone products. However, despite this fact, some athletes choose to inject Sustenon at a dose of 250mg every seven to ten days. As with all drugs, higher doses have been reported with some using 750-1000mg/week but this is not advisable since side effects are likely to increase hand in hand with dosage.

Talking of side effects, you can expect all the usual testosterone related ‘suspects’ to manifest e.g. oily skin, body/facial hair growth, premature balding and elevated estrogen levels which can also produce noticeable water retention. However, due to its slow and sustained release, Sustanon 250 does seem to aromatize (convert to estrogen) at a lower rate than other testosterones. There are always going to be some individuals who are more susceptible to estrogen conversion than others and therefore the addition of an anti-estrogen such as Nolvadex may be necessary.

Sustenon will also suppress natural testosterone production so it may also be necessary to add HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) and/or Clomid (Clomiphene Citrate) at the conclusion of your cycle in order to avoid a hormonal crash. Keep in mind the fact that Sustenon will remain active in the body for up to a month after your last injection, therefore HCG or Clomid use should be delayed by two or three weeks until your blood androgen levels begin to display a significant decline.

STACKING TIPS: Athletes whose focus is gaining size and strength should find that adding orals such as Anadrol 50 or Dianabol produces the desired result.
Meanwhile, those seeking a harder, more defined, look should look to Trenbolone or Winstrol as a supplementary drug.

Relocating to New York in the late 1990s she focused her writing attention to crystal healing techniques and metaphysics – however, she still maintained a five day workout schedule during this time and gained her personal training certificate.

Having also studied pharmacology in relation to sports performance, her writing began taking her in that direction until the present day which sees her embarking on a return to the magazine world, as well as extending her web-related work in the bodybuilding and fitness field.
