Final Review:

After a full bottle of OxyElite Pro, I've noticed a couple of things:

1. Primary benefit is that of a typical stimulant: energy. With 100mg Caffeine and some Geranium in there too, this is hardly surprising. Towards the beginning of use, there was definite nootropic effects as well, but this faded as I acclimated to the supplement. Despite the nootropism fading, the stimulant remained noticeable and potent through to the end of the bottle.

2. Appetite Suppression: This was hardly noticeable until about the 2nd week, and from there it seemed to increase as I continued use. This was honestly more of a drawback than anything else, as it made eating my daily allotment much more difficult by the end of the bottle.

That was pretty much it. No noticeable fat-loss beyond some initial water-loss, but this could be due to my high-ish calories on lifting days.

Additionally, I found the high dose of caffeine preventative from taking a higher, and therefore possibly more effective dose. I would have preferred maybe 50mg/cap.

Overall, I consider OEP a decent stim. I think it needs a bit of tweaking, but also that it has great potential if the formula were shifted around somewhat. This is a supplement that would particularly shine for someone on a deep calorie deficit who needs a strong appetite suppressor.


Original Post:
So, USPLabs has been working for a good while on a new thermogenic product. They've been kind enough to release a few bottles to a small handful of members here on AM, and I was fortunate enough to be included in that group.

I've had a couple of servings now, and the immediate effects are an understated lift in energy, predominated by a rise in cognitive function. So far, it's honestly more akin, in effect, to many of the nootropics I've used. That is definitely due to one ingredient in particular, but I of course cannot as yet disclose what that ingredient is.

The formula overall is interesting and promising. A combination of thyroid regulation and adrenergic stimulus of various types is what I've determined so far. I'm sure there's more, but I've had limited time to research it. I am a little concerned over the disparity between the dose of one ingredient in the literature and it's amount in O-E-P, but I do not know yet if it will be an issue or not.

The caps are very cool - a deep purple with a nice little watermark.
The bottle I don't like so much. Looks like it's trying to pawn itself off as antibiotics.

USPLabs is a company for whose products I have a hit and miss past. P-Slin seems to do nothing for me, along with Recreate. Anabolic Pump (taken with copious CHO) and Powerfull, however, I both like very much indeed. Prime, well, I'm just getting that one going, so we'll see how that turns out. :)

O-E-P has good potential: the formula is pretty straightforward but nonetheless quite unique. It could very well end up being effective as hell. I certainly hope it does so.

Join the Inner circle at Bodybuilding Supplements – Sports Supplements by USPLabs Direct and be the first to receive the fat destroying euphoric stimulant before it hits the market at an absolutely unbelievable price. No Spam just deals and The last IC release we offered Jack3d for $14.99 before it hit the market – don’t miss out…

1 cap or 2 caps?

All ingredients are specific extracts and dosed sufficiently

I've been using one cap.

Concerning the extract, that's good to know - for the first listed ingredient, all the literature I've found just uses bulk powder. Using a concentrated extract takes of that issue. :)

Edit: Geez, it even has "standardized extract for ----" clearly on the label. :rolleyes: Sorry about that, I just missed it somehow.

Yeah. I've never seen it used in anything before, but when you look at the research done with it, it's practical use as a thermogen is just blatantly obvious. The hormonal changes it caused were very dramatic, at least from what I can tell.

How about the compound that increases the body's natural uncoupling response...sexy sexy sexy sexy sexy but I am biased but research is there..

+1. . . . . it will take a while for mine to arrive :knockedout:
Cool, I'll be adding thoughts and observations as time goes by.

This is my third day in, so can't comment much on fat loss yet. Maybe dropped some water, but just maybe.

OEP stacks really well with ALCAR and Piracetam. My normal "Study Stack" is ALAR, KRALA, X-Force and whatever "tam" I have on hand. OEP takes the place of X-Force really well, and should cause more lipolysis too.

Took two caps this morning; whooo. Potent stuff. However, I'm very caffeine sensitive, so I am probably reacting more strongly than others will.

Jacob said one cap is plenty - the guy ain't kidding.
:cheers:

Took my first cap this morning. I agree on the nootropic aspect of this. The appetite suppression is very evident. I wake up starving every morning. Took 1 cap and here it is 4 hours later and food is not even on my mind.

As long as it does it safely (as I trust you have) I'm intrigued. We're all aware of the wrong ways to go about uncoupling the ETC.:cheers:
This plant was shown to increase uncoupling proteins that are in the body. These are completely separate and different from something that you ingest such as DNP or usnic acid which act themselves as uncouplers. Nothing to worry about here in that regard. It's like comparing something that increases endogenous testosterone to actually taking testosterone.

Hadn't gotten that far yet. Have a test on Monday, studying for it has dominated my weekend so far.

I found that caffiene enhances it's effects and that it promotes lipolysis via a mechanism involving the beta adrenergic receptor, an up-regulation of the uncoupling protein 1. Basically boosting the system you have in place . Now I just have to work this into my clean bulk!!

That's good to hear. Well if the reviews continue to be positive, and the shipping to Canada isn't too brutal I'll be picking this up on the IC release since I'm starting a 2-month cut pretty soon.

I like how friendly this post is. I mean who can take offense to a post so kind hearted! Not Resolve b/c he is obviously the only objective individual here.

I mean its not like people like jacob's products because they....i dont know...work. It must be b/c they like that man's ass and love to kiss it and caress it like fudge-packers. HEAVEN FORBID people sounds like they thoroughly support USP Labs b/c they enjoy the results they are able to achieve with help of these products.

If i were to take offense personally that would only add wood to your fire.

Like i said, you post was remarkably friendly. Your opinion is yours and if you feel resolve is trustworthy i cant disagree...heck im here looking at his thread and i even posted my thread b/c i would like for him to check it out b/c i value his opinion seeing that he has proved to be a valued member of the AM community.

And i guess you are right...who the heck should want something thats free? I mean come on seriously? who doesnt love to shell out hard earned cash in a slow economy every chance they get? Man those poor people trying to make ends meet that jump at the opportunity to get something they would normally sacrifice a good portion of their pay check for free are pathetic...right?

On a side note?
Resolve I am sorry I may have been out of line posting my review on ur review. It was childish to do so but again it was out of respect of ur opinion. I will be looking on intently to see how O-E-P treats you

cool study stack, I'm in on the review, just started mine

Honestly I like OEP for studying so far, definitely clear minded.
I had a 4 hour test this morning. 3g PLCAR, 3g ALCAR, 1 OEP, 1 X-Force, 500mg KRALA, 500mg VitC, and a strong cup of coffee. I was stimmed to hell and back in a very good way. I don't normally take so much carn or stims at once, but this was ordinary test. Worked wonderfully.

THANK GOD. I am glad you are reviewing it Resolve... some of the other threads around here looks like they literally just surgically removed their mouth from Jacobs ass. Your objection is respected.
Thanks man. I try to be objective - AM's given me enough free stuff while I've been here, I feel it's an obligation to point out the pros with the cons. If I like a product, you'll know; but if I don't, you'll know why and hopefully what I would do to fix it.

On a side note?

Dude, I am in no way offended. The fact that anybody has respect for my opinion is most flattering. I'll be checking out your review thread shortly. :)

So, as I mentioned in the OEP VIP thread, I'm using this in conjunction with Clenviscerate and Relora. 1500mg of Relora, per Metroba's reccommendation; it's very nice for facilitating stress and relaxing my mood. Clenviscerate, well, I'm using that because it's cheaper per ml than clenpalm and possibly more effective too.

Interestingly, I'm very sensitive to caffeine, and try to limit my intake normally as much as possible. Typically one cup of coffee in the morning and that's it, with periodic uses of stims like OEP.

Contrarily, I'm pretty tolerant of some of the more "hardcore" adrenergic agonists. I attribute this to years of puffing on an Albuterol inhaler, nebulizer, or being given a tab of clen. I had bad asthma as a kid, and had pneumonia 4 times as well (possibly 5, but I never went to the dr.s' that last time) - my respiratory tract hated me.

I find the difference in the way my body reacts to different stimulants quite interesting and somewhat counter-intuitive.

On a different note, I tried half a serving of Jack3d today before lifting. Not sure if it did anything as I was already so hopped up from all my pre-test stims, but either way I felt great lifting. I'm going to use the other half tomorrow, in the absence of anything other than OEP, and see how that goes.

There are worse things to be addicted to. :)

I used the other half of the Jacked Sample today. Didn't do much. Yesterday's energy must've been due to the cumulative effects of all the different things I'd taken. I've got another full sample packet that I will use next workout - hopefully with better effects to report.

As for OEP, energy is the name of the game. Nothing really else that I could report as yet, I've been taking it what, 4 or 5 days? I'm feeling big and lean - losing fat is a neverending battle for an endo like me, and I've been working hard at recomping.

I do a different sort of Jacked protocol for my workouts. The dose is 3 scoops for the max amount. I take 2 scoops about 1/2 hour pre w/o and then throw the last scoop into my intra amino/carb drink. I found I was fading towards the end of my workouts and this keeps me rolling right along.

It seems to me as you are extremely intolerant or non-responsive to Geranium... I mean, it is obvious that both Jack3d and/or OEP has been lighting people up. For you to not feel either, that makes me wonder.

Question - You didn't even feel the Beta-alanine in the Jack3d?

I'll keep that in mind for Thursday's session. I'm presuming that one sample packet is equivalent to three scoops?

Oh, I can feel the methylhexamine in OEP definitely - it's that nootropic feeling I mentioned in my initial review. I'm just assuming that a 1/2 serving of Jack3d by itself wasn't enough to do much for me.

And no, I felt no paraesthesia from the BA, but no pre-workout can produce that effect in me anymore. I need about 7-8g of the stuff typically to feel even a little bit of tingles.

Yeah, I've used BA pretty continually, so the paraesthesia has decreased as my body has adjusted to the supplement. I don't normally take 7-8g, rather about 5g. I don't feel the tingles at that dose, but I can tell the difference in the gym when I don't have it.

AZ pretty much said it, though in a much more fun way than I. I'm watching the mirror. I'm eating 4000cals a day on lifting days and maintaining weight with that much, but I've been making fat-loss progress none-the-less. Slow and steady wins the race - especially since I'd really like to continue getting my strength back.

Perfect. Losing weight at 4000kCal/day is impressive to say the least.

Well, my only CHO sources are veggies, blueberries and grapefruit, and I'm cycling between high fat and high prot days throughout the week. I'm not technically "losing weight", as the scale has showing 244-246 for about the last month, but I can still see me leaning out around the midsection, and I've got arm veins, which are very reluctant to become visible for me.

I had the BEST workout I've had in a while today. Full serving of Jack3d before hand. More details to come later. :bigok:
