XCEED™ FAQ

Robboe · 11-13-2005, 04:32 PM

With XCEED™ now available, here is a basic FAQ for the product.

Q. What is in the product?

See the label - Creatine Ethyl Ester HCl, Di-Arginine Malate, L-Taurine, Glucuronolactone.

Q. Why so few ingredients when other CEE products have many?

We have included the relevant ingredients in doses that count. These are listed on the label so you know exactly what you are taking. There is no “proprietary blend” here. Discussion into the inclusion of the listed components and the exclusion of pretty much anything else is laid out in the complete product write-up found here.

Q. Looks good. Where can I buy it?

Retailers will have it in stock well before the week commencing November 14th.

Q. How many servings per tub?

45.

Q. Is 45 servings per tub good value?

If you train four times per week and, hypothetically, take XCEED™ before and after training, it will last you five weeks, so we’d say so yeah. Damn good value.

Q. How many servings should I take before training?

One serving (one scoop) should be sufficient for most users. If you are a typical creatine non-responder, take two.

Q. Can I take this after training also?

You can and should to help replenish phosphocreatine (PCr) stores, promote ATP synthesis and accelerate recovery. In early 2006 we will release the twin brother of XCEED™ that is designed specifically for post-workout recovery – Replenish™.

Once Replenish™ hits, the value of XCEED™ doubles because you won’t need to dose it twice per day.

Q. Awesome – where can I find out more about Replenish™?

Right now, only on our future products page found here.

Q. How does XCEED™ taste?

At standard dose, like lemonade. If you double-dose, it is a more powerful flavour, but nothing unpleasant - quite the contrary, in fact.

Q. So it won’t taste as revolting as plain CEE?

Nope, the lemon blast flavouring masks it quite nicely.

Q. Does it mix well?

As far as CEE formulas go, yeah it doesn’t mix too badly. Due to the nature of the product components, there’ll likely be a few very small clumps at the bottom that may not completely dissolve. In fact, the clumping is a sign that CEE is present because CEE doesn’t dissolve well in water. Stir as best as possible and drink.

Q. If I was to double-dose XCEED™, can I drink some pre-workout and the rest during the workout?

Yes, you can. It is not necessary but that is certainly a good strategy to employ.

Q. How many servings should I take each day?

Depends how often you train each day, but generally one-to-two servings per day are all that is required.

Q. Should I take XCEED™ on my off-days?

It is not absolutely necessary, but it would certainly benefit cellular volumization and the overall anabolic nature of the product. If using XCEED™ for pre-workout benefit, there is no need to take on off-days.

Q. Is it cool I stack stimulants with XCEED™?

The taurine and glucuronolactone will have mild stimulating effects already, so be careful with how much you stack, but in general, yes you can stack stimulants with the product.

Q. Do you recommend stacking anything particular with XCEED™?

Yes, a combination of XCEED™ and BASIC CUTS™ 30-45 minutes before training forms what we call the “Pre-Workout Assault Strategy”. This combination will provide you with cellular volumization for strength, increase blood flow for training pumps and stimulation for sustained energy and focus while you train.

Q. I am dieting. Will XCEED™ hinder my fat loss goals?

No. Unlike some products that try and claim “zero calories” despite including several grams of amino acids (they have 4kcals per gram just like protein, remember), we will admit there are some calories in XCEED™, however, given that we have no included unnecessary sugars, the calorie content is negligible. We would guess approximately 30kcals per serving. This will not hinder dieting.

Q. I am lean bulking. Will XCEED™ make me fat?

No, see above.

Q. Does XCEED™ need to be cycled?

Not absolutely no, but we generally recommend you cycle all supplements except for the staples (multivitamin, fish oil, protein powder and anti-oxidants), to get the best value for your money.

Q. Do I need to do a loading phase?

That is not necessary, no.

Q. I have a medical condition and/or am on medication. Can I use XCEED™?

Always check with your doctor before using any dietary supplement.

Why does the product contain artificial flavoring and aspartame? I wanted to get it until I read that.

You wanna try masking the taste of CEE without them and without adding unecessary sugars/calories?

The content is negligible, so i really wouldn't stress over it.

**jmh80** · 11-13-2005, 05:54 PM

I'd like to pat myself on the back for making Robbie have to work becuase I posted that it was available on NutraPlant and he had to go and post this.
Congrats JMH80!!

If you guys managed to mask the taste of CEE that would be true innovation.

**not_big_enuf** · 11-13-2005, 10:29 PM

maybe our boy Robbie could send a sample out to some of us that are... well... a bit skeptical of actually masking the CEE taste....

truly, it would quite well done. i stopped taking CEE because it was SOOOOOOOO revolting... i guess i'm not THAT dedicated.

david4zero8 · 11-14-2005, 12:45 AM

Man, too bad i just bought some bulk CEE like a week and a half ago or i would definitely try this product.

Bulk CEE's taste isnt that bad. Just hold your nose and chug. At least there's no after taste. I defnitely have tasted far worst (Read: PCT products).

Rob, let me know if you need someone to "sample it."

I've not tried it myself, but Steve tells me that one scoop is like a mild lemonade, and two is like a potent lemonade (that he didn't care about but Mrs Peaks didn't like).

Manu20 · 11-14-2005, 01:02 PM

Well I ordered some and only plan on taking it on workout days, which it says is ok in the FAQ...whats the biggest drawback to only taking it on workout days Robboe?

stinkfist · 11-14-2005, 01:23 PM

Hmmm....CEE that doesn't taste like sh.t? Looks like I'm placing my order to Nutra

Twin Peak · 11-14-2005, 05:57 PM

Honestly, in 10 ounces of water it tastes quite good.

In 6, its a bit strong tasting, but drinkable.

goyard · 11-14-2005, 09:01 PM

U have replenish listed as coming out in Jan. I was wondering if thats on schedule. It looks like a good product and I will be looking forward too stacking it with xceed in my program.

Twin Peak · 11-14-2005, 09:14 PM

Possibly, it may be pushed back a month, we'll know more in 2 weeks.

goyard · 11-14-2005, 10:20 PM

thats ok, it will be worth the wait im sure

Have you guy thought about using splenda instead of aspartame?
