Many, many thanks to Molecular Nutrition and SwolenONE for this logging opportunity.
A quick history about myself--I'm 37 and at age 33, I decided to make some drastic changes. (Roughly) 140lbs later, here I am! My profile pic is me about 6 months before I decided I had just gotten too fat. I think I actually but on another 20lbs or so after that was taken. But enough about the past, let's talk about the present.
This is me right now, at around 212lbs. Still bit heavier than where I want to be, and still a ways from Ab Country. I'm currently do full-body workouts with LISS on M,W,F and core/ab work on T, TR with HIIT. Saturdays, I try to spend some time in the sauna and depending on the weather, I like to hike on Sundays. My job is largely sedentary so I don't worry much about overdoing it physically.
But enough about me, here's some about Accelerant!
AccelerSTIM™: The primary stimulant-based component of the ACCELERANT™ formula. The first of its three key ingredients is thiamine disulfide butyrate, or sulbutiamine. Defining the phrase “smooth and sustained energy”, this analog of Vitamin B1 (thiamine) helps support razor sharp focus, jitter-free energy, and an enhanced sense of well being. Second is caffeine, the most researched and used of all central nervous system stimulants. Caffeine is widely taken to promote mental alertness, provide energy, boost metabolism, and assist physical exertion. The third ingredient, green tea extract, is a potent antioxidant that has also been associated with a reduction in total weight, waist circumference, skin fold thickness, and subcutaneous fat. Furthermore, it has been shown to significantly increase the resting metabolic rate when combined with caffeine .
AdaptoLEAN™: This component of the ACCELERANT™ formula was designed to help the body cope with the metabolic stresses of dieting and intense training. The first constituent is ashwagandha, an adaptogenic herb used for centuries throughout Asia and India to help reduce stress and tension on the nervous system. Modern studies suggest it has a potent cortisol-inhibiting effect; which is the body’s primary stress hormone. This is accompanied by bacopa monnieri, another adaptogenic herbal medicine possessing a broad range of active alkaloids, saponins, and flavonoids. Bacopa monnieri works synergystically with ashwagandha to reduce metabolic stress and support balanced mental energy.
PhenoLean™: Perhaps the most exciting part of the ACCELERANT formula, Phenolean™ contains a blend of two highly active phenolic compounds. The first of these is zingerone, a thermogenic spice derived from ginger. It typically has noticeable and almost immediate action. At rest, zingerone supports a mild smooth thermogenic effect. When the oven is hot, however, the fire is lit. Expect to sweat heavily during cardiovascular and weight training. This is accompanied by high potency raspberry ketones (4-(4-hydroxylphenyl) butan-2-one), shown in studies to increase noradrenaline-induced fat loss and the liberation of free-fatty acids from adipose cells. Phenolean™ perfectly compliments the AccelerSTIM™ blend, allowing the supplement to support a powerful thermogenic effect, but without the harsh stimulant feel and side effects.
InsuloTHERM™: The final key ingredient blend in ACCELERANT™, designed to help partition nutrients towards the muscles and away from fat cells. Its first component is corosolic acid, often referred to as a GDA or Glucose Dispersal Agent. Studies have shown it to increase glucose utilization by enhancing activation of the cellular insulin receptor. This is combined with cinnamon extract, which has been shown in some studies to have a positive effect on insulin release and glucose transport. Whether cutting or bulking, nutrient utilization will be key to dictating your level of success. InsuloTHERM™ was added to help ensure those calories are used or burned instead of stored as fat, and blood sugar levels are better stabilized during high and low periods of carbohydrate consumption.
Today was a great day to start Accelerant as I COULD NOT get to sleep last night. After about 4 hours of sleep, I got up at my normal 5:00 and took 2 capsules of Accelerant. I'm somewhat of a stim junkie, so I figured I'd start off at the max dosage. My first impression is that the energy hit fast. The sweating started and lasted throughout the entire workout. I did crash a bit during my run on the treadmill. But I think that was due more to my lack of sleep. I slowed down for about 30 seconds and caught a second wind to finish my 1.5 miles strong. Right now, I'm pretty happy with how Accelerant performed. But, will it last? Will I reveal my diet plan? Will I reveal any other supps I'm using? Stay tuned to find out!
