Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long will it take to feel the positive benefits of DRIVE?

A: You will feel the many benefits of DRIVE within 1 day of taking the first dose. Many users report increased strength and energy, increased stamina and endurance, as well as a boost in libido, within the first 24-48 hours of taking the product. Those taking DRIVE should expect to see marked gains in lean body mass and lowered body fat within 10 days of beginning the product, as well as constant fullness and noticeable increase in muscle density and vascularity. These effects continue to increase the longer DRIVE is used. When stacked with RPM™, numerous testers of DRIVE have reported setting personal records (PRs) on all major exercises within the first week of starting the stack. Users of the DRIVE/RPM stack report intense focus, heightened aggression towards training and an overall “hardening” effect, along with strong vasodilation and intense pumps.

Q: How is DRIVE different from other testosterone boosters and NO-type products?

A: DRIVE resides in a league of its own: It is a product that has been clinically proven to increase lean body mass, libido, strength, endurance and burn body fat, yet it is non-hormonal. The special aggregate mixture of the constituents in DRIVE yield results that no other test booster or NO product on the market can touch!
DRIVE contains StAR 3,5 Anaplex™; a unique blend of pharmaceutical-grade icariin (50% extract vs. other brands’ 3-5% extracts) and forskolin (specially standardized to the highest potency available). The aformentioned blend is then combined with the A4E2 Endurance Complex™, an innovative blend of compounds that allows for energetic, non-stimulant ATP enhancement, heightened stamina, as well as an increased anabolic state.


Q: When should I take DRIVE?

A: Take the first dose of DRIVE upon waking in the morning, and then take the second dose approximately one hour before your workout, or mid-afternoon. If you train in the evening, do not take within 3 hours of bedtime. If so, reduce your dosage by one capsule.

Q: Has there been any scientific research on the product constituents of DRIVE?

A: Absolutely. All of the components in DRIVE all have numerous clinical studies proving their efficacy, with documented properties including anabolic enhancement, anti-catabolism, increased thyroid activity, weight loss and PDE5 inhibition (the biochemical mechanism of Viagra®). All the product constituents of DRIVE have been studied extensively, and only the doses and standardizations used in research studies are used in the product.
Q: Is it safe to use DRIVE for long periods of time, or should I cycle it?

A: All research studies along with our own testing have indicated that it can be used continuously without any negative side effects. You will never want to go without DRIVE again - ask our product testers! However as with any product there is some degree of tolerance that can develop after extended use. If you experience this, we recommend cycling 8 weeks on / 4 weeks off.

[Q: What supplements should I take along with DRIVE, and are there any supplements I should avoid?

A: We recommend whey protein supplementation, with a goal of attaining 1-1.5 grams of protein per day per lb. of bodyweight. Additionally we encourage the use of an EFA supplement with a proper ratio of omega 3/6/9, and a good multivitamin / multimineral. RPM stacks phenomenally well with DRIVE, and the two products can be considered THE most effective non-hormonal stack for sports performance/physique enhancement on the market today.

Q: Who can benefit from DRIVE?

A: Any man or woman over 18 years of age who is seeking to gain lean mass, and who wants to look and feel their best!!! The product is also a great contest-prep supplement; giving the user tighter skin, less water retention, harder muscle contractions and bulging pumps, even when living on limited carbs! Also, anyone looking to gain a competitive edge in athletics can benefit significantly from using DRIVE, from the strength and speed increases and the heightened concentration and focus; plus it is NCAA, NPC, IFBB, NFL, NBA, MLB and IOC compliant.

Would a 200lb person experience any benefits to adding 1 more cap with each dosing (making it 3 and 3)? Or is this just overkill?

The reason I say this is because I would rather just take 3 of Drive than 2 Drive and 1 RPM, the chocamine zaps my appetite even after months of taking it.

Hey there. Thanks for your prompt response. Maybe I'll change the question a little bit....

Q: I am about 200 lbs. Should I strictly adhere to the dosage chart? Or can I get away with 6 caps per day (like a 250 lb person)?

Metroba... Retain 2 is great stuff, but I wish people knew more about Relora. Relora is meant to keep hormonal harmony between cortisol and DHEA (lowers cortisol and raises natural DHEA levels), so I think it'd be to your greatest benefit to consider atleast continuing the Relora. It can be found relatively cheap (15 bucks for a month supply).

That stack would be fine(and effective IMO). Cialabol does not contain any one ingredient that suppress estrogen, and the ones contained in Drive are mild... your good.:thumbsup:

3 caps with a protein shake 20mins later and I forget what it was the second time, whole food though. Prior to those times I was letting it sit in my guts for 45mins before eating anything and no problems. And yeah I had this experience before with Forslean. Guess I should watch the clock.

Cordeen,

I'd suggest starting at a lower dose and ramping up. Forskolin has this effect on a lot of people, I used to be one of them. I am at 3 and 3 now with no issues.

How would I dose this with finesteride, so the two don't compete against each other? For example maybe go with Drive in the morning and finesteride before bed. They both want to be taken upon wakening.

I have zero knowledge on the use of finasteride, so I'll refrain from directly commenting.
However, I think you'll find Drive to be effective regardless of the time you take it, as long as it's on an empty stomach. 2 doses/day.

Lanbane is right. Considering that the side effects of Finasteride supplementation may include erectile dysfunction, decreased libido, impotence, and breast tenderness or enlargement, Drive may show some benefits in these areas, although this is not a guarantee of any type, as Drive was designed first and foremost as an anabolic/a body-building supplement.

I am going to start the Drive/RPM stack as soon as I'm done with the bottle of Anabolic Halo that I just bought. So i'll be starting it in about 3 weeks. What i wanted to know was, It says to take first dose when you wake up, then the second dose an hour before you work out. But my schedule for school this semester requires me to work out mainly in the morning, as in, I would wake up around 8, and start working out around 830-845. So what does of each should i take in the day? Should I just double the dose of drive when i wake up and not take it the rest of the day? and then should I take rpm at the same time? I just figured I'd get all these questions out of the way before I even started using it so I didn't waste it by taking it the wrong time of the day or anything. Oh by the way I weigh 150 pounds, so by the chart it says I should take 1 drive and 2 rpm, so would it hurt if i took 2 of each? Thanks for your help.
Oh and one more question...should I still take my creatine that I have while taking these two products? It's just a creatine mono powder. Thanks again.

Creatine mono powder will be fine to use as well.
1st 10 days:
Take 2 RPM and 3 Drive first thing upon waking. In this scenario w/ your schedule, to get the best benefit out of the products, you'd avoid eating until after your workout.
Take 3 more Drive early to mid afternoon, again on an empty stomach.
Following 1st 10 days
Take 2-3 RPM and 2 Drive first thing upon waking. In this scenario w/ your schedule, to get the best benefit out of the products, you'd avoid eating until after your workout.
Take 2 more Drive early to mid afternoon, again on an empty stomach.

Additional RPM can be used later in the day if you need an energy boost. 1 capsule should do the trick.

Let us know what your non-workout day schedule looks like for further suggestions. Regardless, use some Drive daily..... RPM will be workout days and/or as needed.

My non work out days I'd usually wake up around 9 or 10, and have class starting at 1130. So should I take like 1 drive when i wake up and and one later in the day? or 2 and 2?

Hi, My stack has been: PSlin/AP/RPM/Powerfull/Mono

I have just begun cycling out the PFull/RPM (2weeks duration) and mono (4 weeks duration) to clean out the system and have a bottle of Drive sitting ready to go.

I was thinking of using the PFull for nighttime only, and replacing the preWO dose with Drive does this sound sensible?

Im about 200lbs and WO exclusively early morning.

Cheers,

It is correct to take the same amount of Drive on workout and non-workout days. Drive and RPM make a very synergistic stack. Consequently, I would recommend you add RPM to your Drive as soon as possible. In terms of the advantages of adding RPM to Drive, I have addressed the question in your other post in the following thread: http://anabolicminds.com/forum/supplements/90449-rpm-drive-anabolic.html#post

Forslean is the same thing as Coleus forskohlii correct? Then this product would be geared more towards fat loss than anything right?

Also for people who have had stomach/GI problems, someone like me who has problems with acid reflux should avoid it since it increases stomach acid? I will add that I do not have any stomach ulcers.

Yeah, Forslean is Sabinsa Pharmaceuticals patented extraction for forskolin. It's geared more towards recomp, because it will directly activate cAMP, which in turn will prime the body to burn FFA for fuel and preserve/build muscle. Forskolin (Forslean) is amazing stuff.

Hmmm... I can't really say for sure. I've found no reported issues of complications in that realm. I haven't had any issues with this either and I take 150mg of active Forslean daily.

Due to great reviews I have just got my DRIVE/RPM and Osteobolin C.
If those products are as good as people say I will be a very frequent buyer.
I still have a lot of creatine from Controlled Labs. Pls answer these few questions (pls consider English is a foreigner language for me):
1. In what category are those products, i.e., PH, or what exactly?
2. Are the components any roids or so?
3. Should I take them in bulk or cut season?
4. I am 220 pounds and lift at 5 p.m. What is a good dosage chart?
5. Can they be stacked with PHs, NO boosters, test boosters or any other stack?
Sorry for the stupid questions but I really need some simple answers. Thanks.

1. NONE of An's products are hormonal, so NO, they are NOT PH...Drive is a product designed to enhance strength and speed for optimal athletic performance. It enhances endurance, stamina, recovery, motivation, mood, and libido...RPM is a pre-workout formula. It is a NATURAL testosterone booster, that provides increases in strength, pumps, vascularity, focus, whilst also being thermogenic...Osteobolin-C is a natural anitanflammatory product, that provides reduction in joint pain (and increasing joint mobility), as well as increasing recovery from training or injury.
2. As stated above, NONE of AN's products are hormonal in nature. So, there are NO 'roids' in any of them at all.
3. You can take them in any season. Drive and RPM stacked together make for a good definition and/or performance stack. Osteobolin-C can be used as a STAPLE (i.e. all the time). If you stack Drive with IGF-2, the it is a great bulking stack (as well as IGF-2 and NeoVar Recomped). RPM stacked with NeoVar Recomped makes for a nice cutting stack.
4. Your dosage will vary depending on the product. Drive: 3 caps first thing in the morning, and 3 caps ~60-80 minutes pre-gym. RPM: 2-4 caps ~60-80 min pre-gym (start at 2 caps for a week, to assess your tolerance, and go from there). Osteobolin-C: 3 caps first thing in the morning, 3 caps ~40-60 min pre-gym, 2 caps immediately post gym, and 2 caps pre-bed; OR 4-5 caps first thing, and 4-5 caps immediatley post-gym/pre-bed. You will have to play with dosages and timings to find your own sweet spot.
5. Yes, they can be stacked with other things. They do, however, work very well stacked with each other, and other AN products (as mentioned above).

Hope this answers your questions adequately. AN products are definitely solid and provide the results that they say they will!
