TTA-500; 500 mg TTA + 225 mg Electrolytes per cap; 120 caps per bottle

PPAR Antagonist; Stimulant Free Fat Loss Agent

TTA-500 can be cost effectively incorporated into fat loss, lean bulking, or body recomposition regimens.

TTA-500 contains 500 mg of Tetradecylthioacetic Acid (TTA) per capsule. TTA is commonly used to help aid in fat loss and body recomposition.

TTA-500 is stimulant free & can be used as a stand alone, or can be combined with other SYN-30, RK-125, or select other fat loss products.

A unique feature of TTA-500 is the addition of a 225 mg Electrolyte Support Complex in each capsule. This helps ensure that TTA-500 does not lead to the bloating and cramping that may affect some users of TTA containing products.

In simplest terms, Tetradecylthioacetic Acid (TTA) is a fatty acid that can help burn body-fat.

Further Elaboration:

TTA is a PPAR antagonist. PPAR stands for Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors. PPAR’s are a group of transcription factors (proteins that transcribe genetic information from DNA to RNA) that play key roles in cell development, glucose metabolism, and metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins.

There are different types of PPAR’s, but TTA relates to PPAR-alpha. The liver is the main site in which fatty acids are burnt as energy or stored dependant upon calorie intake and energy expenditure. When in a fasting state, the body generally switches from using carbohydrate and fats as an energy source to mainly fat. Fatty acids are released from adipocytes (the cells that primarily compose adipose tissue). These fatty acids are then either restored in adipocytes, go to cardiac and skeletal muscle to be burned as energy, or are broken down through beta oxidization to form ketones. PPAR-alpha mediates the genes that control fatty acid uptake, beta oxidization, and gamma oxidization – which are upregulated when in a fasting state. Therefore, with TTA being a PPAR-alpha antagonist, it activates these receptors allowing you to receive these benefits while in a fed state as well. PPAR-alpha also helps inhibit triglyceride hydrolysis, which further enhances lipid oxidization.

TTA also helps increase mitochondrial activity, which in itself provides numerous benefits. Mitochondria proteins function mainly to produce ATP (ATP transports chemical energy within cells for metabolism).By enhancing mitochondria protein function, the body burns more ‘fuel’, which translates into fat loss. The more fat that someone is carrying, the more inhibition of mitochondrial function they generally have.

TTA also enhances mitochondrial oxidative capacity. There is a strong link between insulin resistance and the reduction of glucose oxidization in the mitochondria and the subsequent build up for glycolysis byproducts.

TTA also helps in reducing free fatty acids and triglyceride levels.

Each bottle provides a one to two month supply of TTA (depending on individual dosage).

TTA-500 can be stacked with SYN-30, RK-125, or other select Serious Nutrition Solutions products for increased results.*

Supplement Facts
Serving Size: 1 capsule
Servings Per Container: 120
Amount Per Serving:
Tetradecylthioacetic Acid – 500 mg

TTA-500 Electrolyte Support Complex – 255 mg
Potassium Gluconate, DiSodium Phosphate, DiCalcium Phosphate, Magnesium Oxide.
Directions:
As a dietary supplement, take 1 capsule 2 to 4 times per day in divided dosages, approximately 30 minutes prior to meals. To assess individual tolerance, it is suggested that individuals begin usage with 2 capsules per day and increase dosage by one capsule very 3 days until a maximum of 4 capsules per day is reached. If cramping is experienced, maintain or lower dosage accordingly.



RK-125 - Raspberry Ketones - 125 mg per cap; 180 caps per bottle

Fat Loss & Recomposition Agent; Raspberry Ketones – 125 mg per cap

RK125 can be cost effectively incorporated into fat loss or body recomposition regimens.

RK-125 contains 125 mg of Raspberry Ketones per capsule. Raspberry Ketones are commonly used to help aid in fat loss and body recomposition.

Further Elaboration:
Raspberry Ketones (RK) are similar in structure to synephrine and capsaicin, which are both noted as being thermogenic due to their release of norepinephrine. Norepinehrine increases lipolysis (which means the breakdown of ‘white’ fat cells), enhances focus and attentiveness, and suppresses appetite.

Raspberry Ketones may help aid in fat loss through preventing fat storage through causing HSL (hormone-sensitive lipase) to translocate to within fat cells. HSL is the enzyme that once inside the fat cell, slices apart fat molecules into various fatty acids in preparation for fat metabolism. In laymans terms, you cannot have maximum lipolysis without ample supplies of HSL inside the fat cell.

Raspberry Ketones have no documented side effects. While they are structurally similar to capsaicin, they do not cause the gastrointestinal discomfort that is commonly associated with capsaicin. They may also be even more thermogenic than capsaicin.

In studies on rats, Raspberry Ketones helped prevent the onset of obesity in mice that were on a high fat diet. They also prevented an increase in blood triglyceride following high fat meals. That translates into Raspberry Ketones not only helping prevent the onset of obesity, but also preventing fat storage as well.

Each bottle provides a minimum 2 month supply of Raspberry Ketones (at the maximum dosage; longer if lower dosing is used).

RK-125 can be stacked with TTA-500, SYN-30, or select other Serious Nutrition Solutions products for increased results.*

Inhibit-E (ATD)

Optimizes Testosterone Production, Reduces Estrogen

Simple, Effective, and Cost Effective.

Inhibit-E™ is an anti-aromatase/anti-estrogen that may also have the unique ability to naturally raise testosterone levels.*

Inhibit E ™ can be used:- On cycle*
- During PCT (Post Cycle Therapy)*
- As Part of a Natural Prohormone Free Testosterone Boosting Regimen*
- As Part of a Fat Loss Cycle*

Inhibit E™ is commonly used for:- Reducing Estrogen Levels*
- Optimizing Testosterone Production*

How does it work?
In layman’s terms, the active ingredient in Inhibit-E™ binds to the site of the aromatase enzyme rendering it inactive, which in turn reduces the body’s ability to produce estrogen. This reduction in estrogen production leads to reduced amounts of circulating estrogen which leads to an indirect increase in testosterone levels.*

Let’s Examine the Potential Uses:
On Cycle – Inhibit-E™ can be used for its anti-estrogen properties to help prevent estrogen related side effects such as water retention, gyno, and more.

During PCT (Post Cycle Therapy) – Inhibit-E™ can be used for its anti-estrogen properties to help prevent estrogen related side effects such as water retention, gyno, and more. Another important role that Inhibit-E™ plays in PCT is optimizing testosterone production, which is critical in the PCT phase to help not only keep gains made while on cycle, but in order to ensure continued progress.

As Part of a Natural (Prohormone Free) Testosterone Boosting Regimen - Inhibit-E™ is useful as part of this type of supplement regimen to bodybuilders as well as other individuals that suffer from decreased levels of testosterone due to age and other variables. In terms of bodybuilding purposes, increased levels of testosterone contribute to increased lean muscle, increased strength, and more.

As Part of a Fat Loss Cycle - Inhibit-E™ can also be useful in a male’s fat loss cycle. Increased levels of estrogen can contribute to fat storage, especially in problematic areas. Now, keep in mind that is not to say that it will help every individual that takes it in terms of fat loss, but in those that it does, they may deem this a nice extra benefit.

The background:

A big thanks goes out to SNS for allowing me to test this stack. I'm excited to get some peeled-ness going on!

HT: 5-9
WT: 191.1
BF: 9% (guesstimated)
AGE: 36
YRS. TRAINING: 25
EXP. W/ SUPPS: mega; but with these particular supps - none.


I'm coming off a couple recent injuries, a small tear in my left labrum coupled with bursitis, and a Grade 2 right calf tear. Still in the healing process, I'd gauge my shoulder at @ 80%, the calf at probably 50%. Recovery is picking up quickly and I'm feeling on the upswing. While I've been hitting upper body lightly lately, my legs have atrophied somewhat from non-use.
I was in the process of preparing for the Mr. Natural Indiana in September prior to my shoulder injury, then had turned my attention to the NPC Natural Northern in October before tearing my calf, so I was in a fairly lean state prior to this. However..
The calf injury happened right before me & the wife's anniversary.. so what was supposed to be a celebretory dinner on the "cheat scale" turned into depression demolition of all kinds of garbage foods for an extended run. Combined with the lack of movement/activity during this time, I experienced quick gain of adipose tissue, got soft & lost some size..

So, the goal is to lose said adipose, while using the Inhibit for natural test increase, and get my diet/training back in line. While I may not make the Natty Northern, I will train/diet thruout this log as if that were the case. Once I set my mind to a goal, it's on! I don't need the proverbial "carrot" of a contest in front of me to keep me focused on the task at hand.
That being said, I will say up front the only cheat meal planned during this log will be for my birthday, sometime the first week of September - the wife is taking me out to Red Lobster and I plan on getting down! This is one of my fav restaurant's..

Other supps in the mix:

Well I'm a USP athlete, so of course P-Slin, Anabolic Pump, and PowerFULL. Also Cissus (out right now but some on the way). I'm cycling off Recreate for this run, so as not to skew the fat-loss effects of this stack. Prime may be added to the mix (if it ever becomes available). Other staples will be mass BCAA usage surrounding my training sessions, some EAA's as well (Xtend/PurpleWraath/Nitro E8), creatine, l-carnitine, and upwards of 15g fish oil daily. I may add some Forslean towards the end..
Diet will be relatively low-carb at first (@100g/day), 2200-2400 cals over 6 meals, probably for a 10-14 day period, then as fat-loss ramps up I will add the carbs back in, hopefully approaching the 250-300g mark by the end of this run, while yet shredding out.
The goal is a quick turnaround in composition levels - I want to see some shredding & I want to see some veins!
Pictures will be updated thruout..

Day #1

No workout - training begins tomorrow. Stack begins today.

Planned dosing protocol for SYN-30/TTA-500/RK-125:
1 cap each 3x/day (prior to meals #1,3,5) thruout.

Planned dosing protocol for Inhibit:
Week 1: 3 caps/day
Week 2: 3 caps/day
Week 3: 2 caps/day
Week 4: 1 caps/day
These will be split between AM/PM dosing until final week.

Damn, I was gonna be depressed every time I logged in to this thread looking at that unflexed pic.. so I just had to have a flexed side-chest shot in here too to start out. Still depressing, but better. It's amazing how a crap diet & no exercise will demolish oneself..
Note the accumulated adipose in the lower ab region.. ugh. This will be rectified.

[CHAPS]

Good luck bro, i've got some of the TTA 500 coming to me, i'm impressed with SNS's products and i love that idea of them coming out with affordable stackable products that come in bulk.

[pmiller383]

In bud, looks like we are going to be running similar logs again.

Yeah this'll be my first experience with such things. I mean I've done synephrine before but not this particular product, so I do anticipate the synergistic effects I hope to see. Gotta get back to looking straight again, and I don't even wanna think about the strength I've lost. Coming into this summer I was the strongest I've ever been. But it'll come back!
