YELLOW GOLD
Bulk Yellow Gold is Back!

Derived from a plant alkaloid isolated from the roots and bark of several herbs, including:

Barberry (Berberis vulgaris), Berberis integerrima
Coptis chinensis or Berberis aristata
Goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis)
Oregon Grape (Berberis aquifolium)
Phellodendron Amurense
Yerba mansa (Anemopsis californica).

The berberine alkaloid can be found in the roots, rhizomes, stem, and bark of the plants. Berberine-containing plants are used medicinally in many traditional medical systems, including Ayurvedic and Chinese herbal remedies for blood sugar control and insulin related properties.

workout coming up will post results lata.

quick question. my buddy who sent me this gave me bulk yellow gold powder of course and i just capped it.

i got 25 size 00 caps. the package size he sent me for example is one of those rpm sample packs and that bag was like half full.

i tampered the caps several times and compressed them as best i could filling up 25caps size 00.

anyone know howmuch i should take per meal pre post workout.

i was told one serving pre and 1 serving post with about 25-50g carbs

09/14 OFF DAY
CYCLE DONE. Serm Done. DTHC Done for a week then restarting.

Workout 2B second time

Preworkout Yellow Gold was used with 50g carbs and post workout with at least 50g carbs or more.

I capped the sample powder i was given by a buddy on AM. it came out to 25 size 00 pills. not sure howmuch is in each one id guess btw 500-900. i used 1 pill pre workout and 1 pill post workout.

-my body feels a lot warmer in general while doing nothing
-taste is pretty yucky but not throwup material as i tested some
-my workout felt totally normal. no high points and no low points
-no huge pumps none at all. which is rare for me. even on no supplements
-workout supplements as always was 20-30g bcaas xtend purplewrath and green magnitude

In case someone doesnt know what yellow gold is it is.

If you tamped the hell out of the caps that should be around 500mg. You would want to take 1 15mins before breakfast. One 15 mins before your pre workout meal and then one 15mins before your post workout meal.

Check out my log from when USP was beta testing...

To give it time to kick in...

 

[nycste]

To give it time to kick in...

alright cool. im not sure how im gonna go about taking yellow gold, pslim and neovar. as i have to start a log in a few days. and im not sure if im allowed to take these products while taking this logged product.

i dont see why not considering i only have a few days worth of stuff besides the yellow gold. blah blah blah

ok. tomm i will take 3 servings yellowgold 15mins premeals. im just gonna use up all the yellowgold i got then start my new log.

and see what chuck says about adding neovar and pslim for just a few days

 

[rpen22]

ok,prid2gr8ns. for real.

OK, this is completely off topic, but is it prid2gr8ns, or prLd2gr8ns??

yeah thats him. my apologies sir, just trying to help out.

 

[prld2gr8ns]

prld2gr8ns

Yes, yes it is. Suddenly I feel so popular having everyone trying to decipher my name.

Looks like you got the dosage down pat ny. Watch those additions to the stack as the combo of the tannins complex, banaba, and yg make for some serious glucose disposal. If you get the chance to go with it, makes sure to bump those pre-meal carbs up to avoid any possible low glucose probs.

 

[wojo]

take it with meals..i always do and never have a prob..i have done this with pslin also,great results and never feel hypo..just a suggestion for convenience sake

 

[nycste]

yeah thats him. my apologies sir, just trying to help out.

hey man you were a great help i tracked him down and got some answers !

will do.

 

[nycste]

ok. i have now taken 4 yellow gold caps.

ever since the first one my nose got runny. i dont know if im getting sick or possibly yellow gold doing this. happened the second i might have swallowed some yellowgold or possibly snorted while i was licking the tray for extra powder haha.

first YG does. preworkout. felt warm. nothing else.

second YG does. post workout. felt warm nothing else.

third at night same day felt not much

throughout this time my gas has increased a lot. im proud of the smell. but since starting YG my nose is runny alittle and my gas has increased a lot while my body has a weird extra warm feeling.

day 2. popped YG pill pre breakfast. sneezed once and farted twice hahah. again weird warm feeling across my body. no pumps to speak of or anything else i might be able to describe.

i think i got 22 YG pills left. i will just use it straight through 3 a day ! and hopefully report some cool things along the way.

again this is a non sponsored review just sharing how i react with YG and what it makes my body do

 

[wojo]

day 2. popped YG pill pre breakfast. sneezed once and farted twice hahah.

i am at work laughing at my computer screen..lol...yea yg def affects my bowels but it only lasts for me for the first couple days..as for the sneezing maybe your allergic to something in it..keep a eye on that especially if your eyes are watering..maybe try a antihistamine

 

[thebigt]

hey man you were a great help i tracked him down and got some answers !



glad i could help!! good luck.:cheers:

Saturday. OFF DAY.

-spent today cleaning out entire grandparents basement gahh. lifted with my dad helping 100lbs or more furniture up flights of stairs soo annoying haha.
-so i got my cardio in today doing that

YELLOW GOLD UPDATE
-took 3 pills today i think yea
-farted nonstop im almost positive its YG (nice ripe smell)
-tummy might feel alittle diff
-still a small feeling of warm or inner warmth feeling
-still sneezing alittle from time to time i hope im not
getting sick could be teh YG
-ummm not sure whatelse to say
-felt no pumps or so to speak of even though i was lifting heavy stuff
-veins in my arms might be alittle more noticeable but thats hard to tell and i might be lying
-so yea just a YG update. this is my third day i think on it at 3pills daily i believe.

i got 19 pills left. at about 450mg each

 

[wojo]

i never felt a pump from yg..but what i noticed more than anything was a leaning effect and quite quickly around my mid-section..specifically my love handles.noticed it within days of starting yg

 

[nycste]

i never felt a pump from yg..but what i noticed more than anything was a leaning effect and quite quickly around my mid-section..specifically my love handles.noticed it within days of starting yg

i would notice that right away as i am very aware of my midsection and how i miss my college days of being always ripped

so yea i hope this happens. ill weight in tomm see if any major changes

 

[Hank Vangut]

i got some of the same symptoms when i first started using YG. i experienced some indigestion and gas with a little runnier poo for the first few days. after a few days it went away. i think this is commonly reported.

this was posted elsewhere mentioning that berberine can alter your stomach bacteria. it may be the cause.

[Rabbani GH, et al., Randomized controlled trial of berberine sulfate therapy for diarrhea due to enterotoxigenic E. coli and Vibrio cholerae, Journal of Infectious Diseases 1987; 155(5): 979-984.
Kaneda Y, et al., In vitro effects of berberine sulphate on the growth and structure of Entamoeba histolytica, Giardia lamblia, and Trichomonas vaginalis, Annals of Tropical Medicine and Parasitology 1991; 85(4); 417-425.]

i didn't getting any sneezing or flu like symptoms though. -strange?

i didn't get the pumps or veins that others have reported either, but i used it during a bulk and was a little flatter from all the carbs i was eating.

i do think it helped make my muscles fuller and maybe stronger but like i said i was also bulking so they should be fuller and stronger.

i did try using YG a little during a cut but it seemed worthless with limited carbs so i stopped.

overall, the stuff is fairly cheap and i'll probably use it again in the future when i up my carb intake.

keep us posted on if your stomach symptoms go away.

 

[rpen22]

i didn't get the pumps or veins that others have reported either, but i used it during a bulk and was a little flatter from all the carbs i was eating.

That's strange that you got flatter with more carbs. Does that happen normally with high carbs for you or just when you eat high carbs with YG?

 

[Hank Vangut]

not necessarily YG related i just seem to retain a lot more water when i up my carb intake which seems to take my definition away (especially during a bulk).

She says yummmmmmmmmmmmmm.

i giggled. ive seen that video she did a good job

 

[Distilled Water]

When i was takeing YG when i took it in the morning about 10 minutes after takeing it I felt a pump all over. But never again when I'd take it?

Iw as under the impression with YG and doseing
Bulking: take with meals to allow body to digest most of the carbs and stil utilize them ratehr efficently.
Cutting: take 15minutes before meals to block carb absorbtion and better utilize carbs.

Am I way off her of kinda on the right track?

i am no expert but that sounds fine. i only used YG for um what a week and half i think

 

[Hank Vangut]

this is over already. that was quick!

i take it the stomach issues you had early on went away on their own? do you think they were YG related?

 

[nycste]

lol i dont remember what stomach issues i had.

i still got a good amount of gas i think that might just be from my increase in fish oil maybe taking 5-10 more g then i was daily to something like 15-25 daily

yea someone sent me a small package which was able to last 1.5 weeks im glad i was able to try it. weight increase was maybe 1 lb while my strength continues to increase on my current DC training split.

If your expecting huge pumps off of YG by itself you may be setting yourself up for failure, but I'm not saying it can't happen because there have been guys who have reported getting solid pumps from YG by itself. My point is that everyone is trying to duplicate the effects of Anabolic Pump, but at a cheaper price....understandable completely! Yes, YG (Berberine HCL) is the main ingredient in Anabolic Pump, but honestly if you want the massive pumps its not the YG that will do it for you, its the banaba extract that is in Anabolic Pump that will do it for you. I can attest to this personally. A perfect example of a product that you will get massive pumps from that has banaba extract in it besides AP is AN's NeoVar....the pumps do indeed kick ass! I've even used AN's Lipotrophin-PM (a fat burner) that has banaba extract in it and got the same type of massive pumps as long as I had about 50-60 grams of carbs after taking it.

Now I am not a scientist, nor a medical expert, but I do research the hell out of every ingredient I put into my body. Take what I have to say as a hypothetical conjecture, or theory. If I am wrong then I have no problems admitting so and someone can set me straight, but from my own personal research and experience this is what I have come to know....Hopefully my insight can help some of you guys out!

Note: Do some research on Banaba Extract....it is certainly worthwhile!

 

[Distilled Water]

Thanks bro, I got my YG and AP science down. I had great success with both products. I know the whole science behind them and what not. Also, I am running a sponsored log for NeoVar right now, check it out :thumbsup:

Yellow Gold is/was the beta of Anabolic pump, made by the same company. By the way I have tried Anabolic Pump and used 4 bottles. It was effective yes, but now I am using Yellow Gold and it is like night and day. It works so much better than Anabolic Pump. Its like anabolic pump X 20.

could u describe what it does for you

i only tried it for i think 1.5 weeks and didnt notice anything.
cept a few side effects which might or might not have be connected to the product

Ok, well the effects seem to build after continued use and it works best taken on an empty stomach at least an hour after eating or half hour before eating. I take a teaspoon 3 times a day.

1. Gives "pumps" so intense in my arms that its hard to wipe your ass!
2. Seems to give me a lot of energy
3. Before when I took AP the same way I would still get a crash from carbs, with Yellow gold no crash at all. Carbs also seemed to make me tired, with Yellow Gold they give me energy.

4. I don't understand this but it seems to make me happy. Its like the serotonin(sp.) release from the carbs is extended.

 

[rpen22]

Isn't a teaspoon like 2 grams?

umm that appears to be very dangerous taking 6g of YG daily i thought

a teaspoon isnt 2g either i dont think considering i only got 500mg into a size 00 CAP.

i could be wrong.


so these pumps kick in how fast? cuz i didnt feel anything for the most part taking it 3times a day and whatever dose i was using i forget. i didnt get any massive pumps etc etc
