Clear Edge Product Review

[quigs]

As I'm sure most of you know, nutraplanet has a pretty killer deal on the new Clear Edge nootropic supplement. I saw that dsade is looking for testers, and I'm sure that many of you are curious about this product. I figured that I could help out here by giving my unbiased opinion.

I'm really a sucker for any type of memory/cognitive enhancing supplement and I've got quite a bit of experience with them. Some previous products that I've used include:

SNS Focus XT
Omega Cerebral
Scivation Neurostim

also bulk nootropics...
ALCAR, phenibut, aniracetam/choline, theanine, rhodiola, deprenyl, etc...

I placed an order for 5 bottles (for only $30) a few days ago and recieved it yesterday. This morning, I took my first serving (8 caps) along with 100mg of caffiene. Honestly, I wasn't expecting too much out of this product when I ordered...but for the price I figured that I had nothing to lose.

After my 1st dose, I'm wondering if I made a mistake by only picking up 5 bottles. I would rate this higher than any of the other nootropic formulas that I've tried in the past (focus xt, neurostim, etc.). After about 30 minutes of taking the product, I began to feel the effects. Increased mental energy, elevated mood, and certainly increased focus.

As I said, its only been one day...but so far I'm really impressed. If you haven't already, I suggest you pick some up. You won't find a better nootropic formula for this price.

Any questions? Ask away. I'll try to add more feedback as I continue to use Clear Edge.

Id hope it had an effect quigs since the dose is 3 caps.LOL Im glad its working for you.Ive taken on a second job which is 11pm-7am and Im probably going to try this as its tough to stay awake on my 1hr ride home after doing basically double shifts 5 days a week.

I, too, picked up the fiver. My pack gets in tomorrow and I'll give some feedback. Glad you've responded well to it thus far.

3 caps is a bit too low IMO which is why I boosted the dose. I'm guessing that you're going to need to take at least 6 caps to really get the full effects of the product. If you look at the 3 cap amount of the various compounds they would be underdosed and I really doubt you'd feel much of anything.

I know what youre saying as Im a mega doser to get any effect from most supps.This is still fine if it keeps me awake on my drive home.Thanks for the reply.

I wouldn't really classify this supplement as a stimulant...it is however a pretty nice addition to stimulant based products. I typically use nootropics along with a stim (caffiene at least) in order to enhance effects.

When I've used nootropics in the past, it was typically while studying for exams or working late on projects. They could also be useful to use during stressful times at work or pre-workout. They tend to give me just a little bit more brain power when I need it.

I would throw the clear edge in @ 6 caps either pre-workout/studying/working.

decided to go with venom instead of stimx. could i take them together? thanks quigs, ive used stims 'alot' but first time with nootropic. btw should i still take 6 if i take with venom?

T,
Have you used Venom before???
If not - I would take it by itself (one cap) for the first few times to assess how you respond. It can have a very long effective life (as in - trouble getting to bed 16+ hours later).
Combining with Clear Edge could make that worse.

Agreed. I don't see a problem adding the two, but venom/stim-x are pretty strong and I think you should probably assess tolerance to this product before you add anything.

thanks jm i just use 1 venom. i am having a difficult time coming up with a dosing schedule. i am thinking take a venom before work and 6 clear edge at 2nd break. does that sound like a better plan. i get off work at 7am, and dont go to bed till 2pm. btw im weighing in at 240 after my last cycle.

Second day dose: 6 caps clear edge along with 1 cap of thermolife stizm.

I use stizm at 1 cap per day almost every day instead of drinking coffee. I find it to be cheaper, more effective, and just much less of a hastle. After taking 6 caps of clear edge along with it I honestly didnt' notice the same effects as with 8 caps. It was different than stizm alone...some mood elevation, increased mental "clarity", but certainly not as pronounced as the 1st day.

If you feel like you need it, sure add in the clear edge @ 6 caps.


On a side note: The capsules are clear. I suggest to dsade that when he does reformulate this product for RPN that he use an opaque capsule (white or colored) rather than clear. The reason that I am saying this is that the powder within the caps does not appear to be homogenized. There are brown/black clumps in the caps which look kinda gross. I could easily see this raising some questions with some customers wondering if their product "went bad" and what the "brown stuff" is.

[jmh80]

T,
I think that would sound reasonable to me. You'd be taking the CE at, what, midnight (assuming 7pm to 7am shift)?

[thebigt]

thats summertime hours, right now on straight 8's. 11 to 7. take venom around 10 before work ,and ce at 3. im going to try 6, see how i like it. thanks for the info guys i think i am gonna like this.

Let us know how this works out for you Bigt.

[daniel35]

I've gone up to 9 caps, and love its effects also. Really clear headed, jittery-free energy for basically the rest of the day.The only cautionary note I can add is I've had a couple of sun spot type effects in my vision after taking it, sort of like the start of a migraine, but it has always gone away with no headache. I'm wondering if the increased blood flow to the brain could be what is causing this and if I should stick with a lower dose just to be safe.

[prld2gr8ns]

Are you taking all 9 caps spread thru out the day or all at once? Just trying to figure out a dosing protocol.

[daniel35]

All at once just to try, i've taken it at lower doses, and it seems to work well also. I usually have a high tolerance to stim type products, although this isn't exactly one, so I went high to see. Like I said no real problems, just the vision thing for maybe 2-3 minutes a couple of times during the day.
