Venom & Prostate

Have there been any reports of prostate problems when using Venom? A 61 year old male wants to know before buying Venom.

I mean no disrespect to you John, but at age 61 you should not use Venom Hyperdrive or any other stimulant. I do not recommend it.

Maybe you could look into Special Tactics, a fat burner without stimulant effects?

That is most intersting. About a month ago, I emailed ALRI and they told me that Venom Hyperdrive was the one that I should usde instead of Special Tatics.

Venom and prostrate, yes. Usually with any stim there can be what I like to call the "prostate pinch™". I experienced it with Venom but it was solved by drinking more water and cutting back to 1 pill. I was also stacking it with special tactics so that may have been an issue too.

I know quite a few 50-60+ year olds that can run circles around a lot of 20+ guys in the gym so as long as your heart and BP are good to go and you aren't on other meds that could interact with a stim. you should be ok.

You'll see some user reviews around the net that mention "more difficulty with urinating" and "sexual side effects". This is probably from prostate swelling. You will also see a few user's who are able to recognize and report prostate swelling...they also report that the swelling went away after stopping use...usually within a week.

I experienced prostate swelling at 2 pills a day and chose to discontinue use. The swelling went away.

Uh, I think that I skipped that part. Is Special Tatics as good for weight loss and appetite suppression?

It is very good for fat loss, without stimulation to the CNS. It also controls appetite very well !

Thanks FitnFirm. I will give Special Tatics a try.

You may want to look into Lean Dreams as well. Burn fat while you sleep, lowers cortisol to protect muscle while dieting, and makes sleeping a restful experience

FitnFirm, if I can afford only one of these supplements, which one should I use?
Thanks.

Thanks for your patience.

I feel that you should take them first in the morning with breakfast, and then again the meal before your last meal of the day, for the best results. It seems to work good for about 12 hours.

I have found NOTHING that helps curb my appetite like Venom... BAR NONE. The new Venom Hyperdrive BLOWS for energy in all honesty compared to the old product... but I think people wanted a more even energy... though now I think it's too weak. I know 4 people including myself that have taken Venom for quite some time and 2 noticed some slight prostate issues, but they clear up when stopping Venom. Nothing to worry about. As for Special Tactics and Thyrogen-X, I don't know anyone that they did much for in all honesty.

I used Special Tactics on my full bulk to control fat gain, did that for 12 weeks, Even though you cannot feel it Im sure it helped me immensely as I can gain fat easily and I ended up with gaining 14 pounds and had lower body fat then when I started.

I like Venom too but its a tad strong for me so I do take it with food all the time and only 1 per day, that stuff ROCKS! Being a girl and all I never had any other issues with it but I think since it is a stimulant that it constricts blood vessels and therfore can effect males. I wonder if anyone has ever used it with a anti-inflammatory if that helped at all?

Hmm... not a bad idea FnF...

I just started Venom 3.0, and haven't been active on the board for quite some time and was not aware of this issue if with an ephedrine free product. I was trying to avoid the prostate issues eph causes me, but it looks like any stim can have this side?

Has anyone tried saw palmetto which I believe was supposed to help with ephedrine, with venom to counteract prostate swelling.

Thanks
