* Quick update: Stomach issues persist. I will refrain from taking my serving today of Ultima to see if he stops.

Keep us updated. I do believe you maybe the first to report such issues. Are you still dosing a full scoop?

Feeling during and after dose (including any crashes) - Refer back to MA. I only used half the serving and was dialed in more so than the full dose of yesterday. I am going to stay at the half serving until I become adjusted, or bored - whichever comes first.

I will keep everyone updated. It could be just a simple bug; I will remain open-minded until further evidence presents itself.

hey bud, how's the stomach doing today?

 

[Iron Lungz]

hey bud, how's the stomach doing today?

Hey Rob!
Thanks for asking - I took the entire day off to rest and watch movies. It rained the entire day anyway. I had to go get some fluid yesterday (IV) to replenish my system better. Man, that was the worst 2 days! I did not take my dose yesterday or today; however, I will brave it tomorrow. I'm really hoping that it's not the Magnesium, or the supplement for that matter. It's feeling relatively normal considering what it's felt like the past few days.
Once again, thanks for taking the time to ask., when most could care less.

I did not take any pictures today. Hell, would you if you were in my shoe(s)? Hahahaa! Definitely will tomorrow, no doubt about that. I just don't feel well enough to do so right now. I am going to hook an IV up in an hour and get 1 more bag in for the day. And yes, I do it myself. Given my profession, things of this nature (IV, shot care, etc) are a specialty for me know. The military trained me well! LOL - I am, however, using a butterfly needle for my hook in. Trauma1 will understand that!

 

[Liftergym33]

Thats sucks Iron, I was about to ask how you were, but dont want it to look like Im just asking after your post, So how you feeling Fukcnut? seriously, Its good to hear its getting better, crazy how your doing your own IV's man.. were you a Med Tech? just curious to what you have maybe found out, but what is the safest max dose for Magnesium? Im finding all sorts of amounts right now..

 

[Liftergym33]

you having any diarrhea and abdominal cramping?

 

[snagency]

I am going to hook an IV up in an hour and get 1 more bag in for the day. And yes, I do it myself.

:scared: eeek! I hate needles, even if they sound pretty like a 'butterfly'..
Probably the real reason I never did gear right there -- I'm a big sissy! :laugh:
And hey, just make sure you don't have any 'tainted' B12 from Miguel Tejada in that IV man..

 

[dtrain13]

Curious have you ever had this reaction to Magnesium prior?? Have you used other pre workout product that have Magnesium with similar results??

 

[Iron Lungz]

* Here's a quick picture; I will post more later.
Anatomical position, no flex.

 

[Iron Lungz]

Curious have you ever had this reaction to Magnesium prior?? Have you used other pre workout product that are Magnesium with similar results??

The first one that comes to mind would be JP8. I did not have any issues with that one, or any other pre workout powder that I can note.

I will update everyone later; no issues today. I have not dosed yet, but will do so in a few hours before my workout.

Sorry to hear about the illness, buddy. Hopefully it's just some sort of gastroenteritis and will pass.

When it comes to IV's, i have no problem saying i have some pretty damn good skills. I'd have used something large bore, like a 16 gauge angiocath on you, soldier, haha.

Get well soon, buddy.

Well I ask because the Magnesium amount in ULTIMA is quite low with others like SP250 No-Xplode and the like when you start taking multiple scoops of those it can reach over a gram. So I'm thinking you may have a bug or something totally unrelated to the product. I'm not discounting the idea though.

Of course; however, I have not said that it is definitely the product. I am leaning toward a bug, but just keeping my options of pin-pointing the problem open. Hell, I hope it is indeed a bug.

Oh I understand and wasn't saying you did. As I said I wasn't discounting the idea as I know some are very sensitive to Magnesium.

Good to finally see a pic of ya Lungz!
You look lean & in great shape. Kudos.

[custom]

Hey Iron,

Are you taking any kind of multi-vitamin or any other supplement high in magnesium?

While it is certainly possible ULTIMA could be te culprit, I would say it is unlikely. Albion dosed the MCC as high as 8 grams without GI issues, and we have had no instanced or problems oursleves, thus far.

If possible, try taking with a little food and see if that helps.

 

[Iron Lungz]

Agreed. I am dosing in 20 minutes, then hiting the gym. Update will follow this afternoon.

Thanks, Snag! Like I said, I am no Body Builder, rather a fitness enthusiast. I'll get some Back and Leg pictures up at some point. I am also going to start including some food pics as well. (Taking a page out of your book )

Lookin lean and mean, Fin! :thumbsup:

Thanks for the kind words, Jon!

Nope, Ultima is the only runner right now. I discontinue all other supplements when I run something Sponsored. I am dosing it with my mid-morning protein/fruit today - so we will see.
But, from what I understand, there is a stomach bug going around so it may just be that.

That is Ranger style there baby, taking care of yourself and your comrades if they needed it even if you did not have a medical background (good old first aid/buddy aid). On another note, sorry for being so late on this thread. I will be keeping an eye on you there fellow Ranger. Making sure you are ok, and seeing how this supp pans out. Hooah.

 

[ABNRanger]

Where are you located Iron? I am planning to start back rucking a few miles a week, would be nice to team up with someone. I plan to keep my ruck light, maybe a 60-100lbs. One day on flat terrain, and maybe 2 cross country. I hope I can maintain the 4km or more an hour standard. Anyone in the Houston Texas or surrounding areas that wanna go rucking hit me up.

What Ike?

Lookn good Iron!! Those veins in your forearm are really blue!

Hahahaa! Yeah, I've been told that my viens are freaky.
I really wish that my camera was not dead when I returned from the gym a little while ago; the pump I had was just insane! I'm charging it now so that I can take some pictures after tomorrows workout.

hang in there IL

Thanks, man. Thankfully, no issues to speak of today!

Full update to be posted later.

Glad you're feeling better. Did my 1st try of Ultima today, 1/2 scoop, no issues (Other than slightly yellow teeth lol ). I'll throw up the log later tonight .

I believe CL saw issues with GreenMag with only ~3g of MCC. It was a blend of MCC and DCM, initially I think 3g and 2g. Proprietary, but no higher than 5.

Yeah - LOL! I was going to recommend to everyone that tries the sublingual route to make sure they rinse their mouth out directly after the dose. Just don't spit it out... wait, what?

Link us all up in here when you get it up, man.

No pun intended, but after re-reading that I realized I said throw up :footinmouth: The yellow teeth didn't last long at all, but the neon urine is going to be amusing This stuff tastes awesome though, definitely enjoyed the citrus flavour.

Better late than never!

 

[bolt10]

good luck i will be following...this product and your opinion interest me..

 

[androgenic]

Visually, I have a hard time following in these threads...there's just doodads and thingies everywhere.

But, about the cramping or diarrhea. Out of hundreds of bottles sold...not a one. The 3 gram MCC is what albion recommends and its a chelate...so it releases over time. I dosed 7-8 grams of MCC to be sure, without issue. Now I am 230-240 and those of a lower weight, as we've explained in the very thorough FAQ should dose lower. The full dose is still...1/2 pre- and 1/2 peri/intra-. Some like 1/4 doses 4 times a day. Some do 1/3 scoop 3 times. Some like the sublingual powder under the tongue (that was new in the logs and not an original suggestion...but it is a hit), and some do the sublingual like I suggest in the liquid with 5 seconds or so under the tongue between sips.

I've chugged a whole serving with limited fluids to test it and still no problem. The suggestion is 12-16 oz. for the whole scoop with 1/2 and 1/2 servings.

Now, ANYTHING you add around this...could compound an issue. For example some of these intra workout or post workout product have more magnesium or creatine mono that people get GI distress from. Add a fat burner that has Forskolin/forslean. Take a multi with high mineral load. Lactose products (whey concentrate)...and on and on...

Like I said though we've had no issues whatsoever in this category. We were careful from day one with that concern.

I would try some of the dosing schedules mentioned and look at some of the other things you're eating or supplementing with. There's other reasons to not use other products as well...

 

[androgenic]

*******************FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS***************************************** ****


Q: How do I dose it?
A: There seems to have been some confusion over this. Towards the end of the beta's release we retested the formulation after some late additions and made some alterations to the dosing protocol on the bottle. It went out in print form. Basically there is a scoop to which the handle/line comes at about the ? mark. Then there's the full scoop (4/4 so to speak). If you are under 175 pounds or have never used any nootropics in substantial doses before use the ? dose to the handle. If you are below 135 pounds use a half scoop. From here add about 16 ounces of water (12 oz. If the ? dose). You will consume half of the cup 30-60 minutes pre-workout. For best effects (especially with the B vitamins) sip and hold under tongue sublingually for 5-10 seconds, then swallow. Consume the other half of the cup during workout over the course of 30-60 minutes as well.

Q: How long will it last?
A: The product was designed to only need to be used on workout days (assuming at least three workouts a week). Following the above dosing, 30-60 days is expected.

For nootropic purposes consume 1/4-1/2 scoop doing sublingual sips. This would be for a night out on the town, performing well on a test, playing video games, or whatever...

Q: What can I expect?
A: Strength, focus, mind-muscle connection, sense of self, endurance, and performance.

Q: Can you use caffeine with it?
A: There were many questions on caffeine. Ultima has no caffeine. Many products have 200-400mg and people will consume multiple drinks, pills, etc at these doses. This product is meant to break that addiction down and get to the heart of true health and performance. I do believe in a dose of around 60mg. Is shown in studies to be healthy and effective used acutely, not chronically, so I guess that'd be OK (about what's in a 20oz. Diet Mountain Dew). I recommend people get off the caffeine and give this a true go. The transition for the first week can be rough coming off caffeine, which would make Ultima seem to be a culprit...It is not. Have faith. Transition off stims. Transition on Ultima. I recommend not using caffeine (and other stimulants) here due to them being counterproductive to the goals you set out.

Q: The flavor's decent, but can I make it better still?
A: Yes, some add Diet Mountain Dew or Crystal Light Lemonade. The taste is delicious, but has a bit of a medicinal aftertaste. Again some late goodies we threw in really required a bit more flavoring. We sent out extra packs of flavoring to everyone that ordered. Most people like the taste as it is, but we want to please everyone so we'll be forthright. BTW, with the crystal light its really awesome. Ultimately, what matter's most is performance. We got that.

Q:Can I add other nootropics?
A: ALCAR, Tyrosine, Sulbutiamine, Piracetam, Aniracetam, modafinil/provigil, and a number of others have been discussed. I think it is OK to experiment with these additions, but carefully. Use on at a time, in modest doses. If you never used nootropics, for God's sake, do not full dose Ultima, add all these nootropics and thing it will “rock”. I assure you it won't. It will be overstimulating making you either wired or tired. If you are experienced, Ultima is dosed that “racetams” seem like a logical addition. Matt has a deal with 72 grams of piracetam with 3 tubs. Piracetam was considered for addition in Ultima, but the GMP manufacturer wouldn't allow it. Do not add other cholines, DMAE (or centrophenoxine) here as there is potent doses of such. These cholines and DMAE can cause sleepiness in high doses to those that are sensitive too them or not experienced in using them. If this ever happens, spread out your doses more and decrease serving per dose until you've adjusted to your “sweet spot”.

Q: How long until the Full version will be out and will there be changes?
A: This could be a number of months off. It's being worked on as these things are very time consuming. Evidence of this would be the roadblocks we ran in to getting this product out as a beta. GMP manufacturers are far, far more stringent and this is noteable. Seriously, it could be the summer. We're not sure. We're not giving definitive timetables anymore as that hurt us last go around. As for changes, yes, there will be tweaks, based on feedback. We are listening to you and will serve to exceed your needs. We want this finely tuned to meet nearly everyone's satisfaction on every front. A lofty goal it is. Quite frankly this product is very expensive to make and it may be “too potent” for some. We may have to ratchet it back some. I assure you for the advanced supplement user (note: this crowd, not the GNC noob – which we'll need to account for in the future) and at this price this is the best deal you're going to find. See the next question...


Q: $50 dollars seems expensive, how is Ultima worth it?
A: First, read the above question. Next see the how long it will last question (30-60 days) then see Matt's graph on bulk costs of the ingredients in Ultima, which comes out to over $70...without packaging, labels, shipping, and combo deals accounted for.

If you wanted to piece together ULTIMA yourself:

***http***://img150.imageshack.us/img150/706/image1qd8.***jpg***
(I can't show this image...I don't have enough posts)

Q: What is AACA?
A: N-Acetyl Carnosine.

It has been studied orally and IV, but a bit more indirect...I often had to order full studies to piece it all together. It is resistant to carnosinase, which is the huge benefit or lower dosed carnosine, plus it will have some action as the dipeptide, then when broken down slowly by carnosinase will have a time released effect as it reassembled back in to carnosine again. It is really sweet. Why hasn't it been used? SHEER COST. No obvious direct studies. Carnosine itself isn't clearly studied with performance, mostly with glycation and life extension. Moreover, beta-alanine is studied with regards to performance. A big part of this is a certain doctor does ALL of the Beta-alanine research and he doesn't put much stock in carnosine. Of course, the industry has ran with that...because it is $6 a kilo versus $250. AACA is thousands...so...that's why you see minute quantities being used in eyedrops, further its stability and antioxidant status makes it superior over straight L-Carnosine. When I've cornered Dr. Harris, several times, he doesn't have strong reasons why carnosine isn't the better option, he just says its "overkill", meanwhile beta-alanine requires four times a day dosing. He has stake in carnosyn and now has stake in the "solution", a timed release beta-alanine. Consider this...carnosine has anti-glycation benefit, most likely due to its unique action as a dipeptide in the plasma, however short it is. Large doses, which gets expensive would make that action longer...yes, it may then get broke down in to the singlets, beta-alanine and hisitdine...to get built back up in to the dipeptide. Still seems superior, though more costly...research seems to bear that out. Further, the AACA is acetylated and carnosinase's action upon it much, much slower...causing the circulating carnosine to be elevated over a period of time and with its eventual breakdown will lead to a timed release reassembly of carnosine for buffering in the muscle.

Q: Why no proprietary blend? Is it true they nearly held up the product over the unique folinic acid (note: not folic acid) co-enzyme? Won't this work just get ripped off?
A: Again, there's no random crap here. No guesswork. Everything has its place and reason. One thing that weighs on me is that when safety or legitimacy gets questioned. When we're a practicing clinical MD and an RD that are life extensionists, doing GMP manufacturing, listing everything in a non-prop blend with full transparency and got held up for months due to these ethics...well. We spent two years working on this, testing it, and spending extra on quality control. The FDA, whoever questions it...and it feels like the rewards go to the unethical, because if you're some company that makes up ingredient names, makes up claims, and hides garbage in prop blends it is cool. You can "spike" a completely fake blend with meridia, lasix, D-Bol, viagra or whatever. No one questions it, because no one really can. Ironic. And yet, I do encourage everyone to scrutinize, research, and question the products they use or plan to use. I just get frustrated with some of these other companies...sorry for that rant. There will be a full write-up forthcoming. I already feel like I've revealed too much too soon. So from hence forth I might be a bit more tight lipped. Matt has the basic, marketing-based write-up posted now (above) and that should suffice while we're in beta. I dread how much might get ripped off from the write-up and fake amounts of things like AACA might get listed in a prop blend. We've put show much time, effort and money in to this...

Q: Is the 15mg. Dose of methylcobalamin safe? What is methylcobalamin?
A: It is thousands of dollars per kilo first off. Secondly, it is the active form of B-12, not the standard supplemental cyanocobalamin that is far inferior and cyanide-bound.

The dose is study based and looked to hit orthomolecular amounts. AOR is the only other company on the market to have this form in this dose, and if you know AOR than you know it's safe and it's researched. Oh, and their price? $46.99 for a bottle, that's nearly the cost of Ultima with many, many expensive high-dosed ingredients.

Methylcoblamin is a superstar in the formulation that will give you energy, improve cognitive function, and give you faster firing of synapses (mind-muscle)...meaning strength and coordination. Some multi-vtamin brags of this form, but has 500mcg. (3%) of our dose. You know how we roll? Right? In less than 4 weeks we will feature an exciting write-up on this very superstar ingredient.

Q: What is Trinitine and what makes it so special? Will we ever be able to get it by itself?
A: Trinitine is a fully patented blend with a specific ratio of electrolyte-bound creatine chelates. There has never, ever been a single creatine or blend that matches what Trinitine accomplishes. It's delivery, bioavailability, “bloat-free”, fully-synergistic method of execution is brilliant. Trinitine is covered by multiple patents for its ingredients and tested ratios. It is also being worked out for future scientific study by a peer-reviewed journal and discussed for multiple licensing deals. The industry is taking notice. The best sports nutrition ingredient just got better with this industry first. It's not an empty promise. TRINITINE IS THE CORNERSTONE OF ULTIMA. TRINITINE IS THE TRUTH. (Yes, I grabbed this from my marketing write-up and yes, we have a full write-up, but this is enough for you right now...)

As for Trinitine by itself, yes, that is forthcoming. Matt is working on that as we speak. Look for that very soon. In finished form (no need for betas).

Continued....

 

[androgenic]

Q: Is this a pre-workout product? How would you classify it?
A: We categorized it that way, to give it a category, but in reality...not really. It's far more complicated than a product that provides transient pumps, stims, and bloat. This ain't that. We left off a number of ingredients like Taurine, Ethyl Esters, Arginine, and Caffeine (or other stims.) for good reason. They are not effective pre-workout, ineffective, or unsafe. My expanded thoughts on arginine are forthcoming outside of this write-up/thread. So to delve deeper, it isn't formulated the way most of these “pre-workout” products are. So it's difficult to therefore classify it that way. It was meant to exploit a pathway by providing all the substrates for true synergy (that pathway in all of its glory is forthcoming as well). Many are using divided doses on off days, or using it before a date, or before a test, or for nutritive life extension purposes, etc. This is good for your body and mind. Both will perform better and be stronger for it. That's different. Truly different.

Q: What other products should or could I take with this?
A: The nootropics were discussed above. Protein is a no-brainer. Beyond that, it's your world, but I would not dose products 2 hours before or after Ultima that have B-vitamins (bars, protein powders, other products that list them) or ones that have magnesium (especially) or sodium / potassium added. There is a specifc ratio of the electrolyte-bound chelated creatines, called Trinitine. The B-vitamins are dosed maximally and are in their most active, co-ezymated forms, of which more coenzymated B's would be too much and the standard supplemental forms actually compete with these and make them far less effective. B6 in the pyridoxine (standard) form is toxic at higher doses because it competes with P5P (active form) for binding. Cyanobalamin (standard) is a cyanide bound inferior form that takes conversion and can be problematic in very high doses. Methylcobalamin is not. R5P is the active riboflavin form...we have those in here, dosed very highly, but research supported and safely. They're essential to the performance of Ultima.

Basically, you don't need to add anything else around your workouts, except a high quality protein post workout, like Xtreme Formulations' Ultra Peptide.

Q: Why is my urination “neon yellow”?
A: Too much Mountain Dew I guess! Just kidding. It is due to the R5P, the active riboflavin. It's is a harmless side effect of large doses of this vitamin. One poster (Peter LeDrew) asked why such large doses? To this Is stated the following:

Quote:

Non-ULTIMA? Close to the best? Kind of near maximized? The dosing in the beta may very well be tweaked depending on feedback, but at this point we're happy with what we accomplished here. And it is fine to ask questions. B-vitamins, coenzymated will change lives dramatically and Bruce Ames is right. The enzyme thing I mentioned is real. Much like pyridoxine competing with endogenous P5P and becoming toxic at higher doses through competition at the binding site. This is not the case when supplementing with P5P. Oh and the non-sublingual form (which the few companies that do P5P sell it in...can't think of any sublingual) are poorly absorbed...very poorly according to studies. So, boom...note with what you quoted how only R5P is stable in solution. P5P is in this and sublingual. Methylcobalamin over the cyanide based supplemental form...etc. Oh and the other ones...we've got plans. No worries. The B's are where it is at.

So there you have it. ULTIMA is truly the most scientifically advanced, potentially the most effective supplement ever created. Stop playing with trash products that claim to change genetics or add 10 pound of mass in 5 days. Get smart. Step up to the big leagues with ULTIMA.

We continue to encourage everyone to continue to post his feedback, good or bad. This will help insure ULTIMA gets tweaked in just the right way for the final, wide release.

Visually, I have a hard time following in these threads...there's just doodads and thingies everywhere.

Thanks for the insult and the advertisement. :thumbsup:
There again, I never stated that Ultima was the definite cause.

Thx for that, androgenic. I have a much more thorough understanding of the product now. Intriguing..

In case you are unaware Andro is the product formulator and a PHD. He was simply trying to help ease your mind and shed some more light on the subject for those following along and post the FAQ to answer some questions. Where did he insult you? And we are aware you never said that ULTIMA was the cause of your GI distress but you did say the only thing you could point to causing the problem was the magnesium contained within ULTIMA. Now as a company we see that and our first concern is we don't want anyone becoming sick from our product and if a problem exists address it. Beyond that our next objective is to discern if the product is or isn't the cause of the problem simply because the reputation of both the product and the company are on the line here. Surely you can understand that. Yet you've had a company rep, the company owner and the product formulator respond to your thread and your responses have been very snappish and I just don't understand that. All any of us our trying to do is help in anyway possible as well as see if there is a potential issue with ULTIMA that may need to be addressed. Thats all.

This is where I see an insult.

Thanks for your response.; however, I am fully aware of who Andro is.
And to be honest, I do not see where I have been snappy.

There's no need for a retort; any matters that you have with me can be taken to PM. I will not fill my log with this banter any longer.

Updates to come...

How come ? Iron is being very professional about this.

I also do not see where he is coming off as snappy, he has a general concern and just wants to get to the bottom of why he is having stomach issues with what seems to be caused from the Ultima after dosing, but it's not set in stone that the Ultima is the main culprit.

I hope everything works out for ya Iron !

Let's keep cool, guys! It is still unclear how Iron's GI problem was induced. He did not say Ultima caused it. In fact, in one post, he even speculated it might be due to some bug in his location. From all indications, Ultima looks awsome conceptually. Yet, every product, no matter how good, may have a negative or non-responder. Again, there is no finger-pointing toward Ultima, so let us try to focus on substance for the rest of the log.
