A mega dose of.....POSEIDON!

**mrchristian** · 08-13-2008, 01:57 PM

So I purchased Poseidon with my last NP order because I have heard tons of good things about it and I must say the hype was legit. I've felt amazing since Ive taken it. Ive been going with just a morning blast for my dosing of 5 scoops mixed w/ BCAA's. I like the alert and refreshed feeling it gives me in the morning.

I was wondering, is it safe to continue dosing through the day then, or would such high levels prove harmful?

AE14 · 08-13-2008, 02:16 PM

just my 2 cents, if you are dosing 5 right off the bat, I think you probably still could dose again in a small amount

Per Nimbus website:

Quote:

Directions– Take 3 - 6 Serving per day, as needed, on an empty stomach or with a very light meal. For best results, take first thing in the morning, before and/or during workouts and again in the evening.

Let us know how its goes, Poseidon is crazy stuff

Wow........I don't see why not. 5 scoops?....whew, That's huge!

**Jayhawkk** · 08-13-2008, 02:19 PM

More than 6 servings a day proved to be just a waste of product in my experience... However, I would front load several doses from time to time with great results.

Posieden has nothing harmful in it. I use it to prevent cramps on clen and often dose 5-7 times a day when doing that.

**mrchristian** · 08-13-2008, 02:32 PM

Thanks bro's perhaps it is just a waste of product dosing it anymore..

of course from the perspective of cost, you need to dose on an as needed basis (that is how I dose things).

try it out and see how you feel, and feel in the pocket

**mrchristian** · 08-13-2008, 02:39 PM

I actually stumbled across this because I misread the label. I don't know why when I read it I took it as 3-6 scoops each serving throughout the day when needed. Only after reading some Poseidon threads did I reread the label and was like, uh-oh.

**Big BAMA** · 08-13-2008, 02:45 PM

I take two scoops with some other goodies every morning as part of my pre workout supp's. Mega dosing can be good but after a while it just causes expensive pee.

You musta got a helluva niacin flush from that!

Niacin can be toxic to the liver in high doses. I personally wouldn't megadose simply because of this. I don't see a problem with anything else though.

Good to see Reaper answering questions!

I would probably lower the dose slightly and then have several more doses throughout the day...high doses shouldn't be a problem as i know Rich uses quite a bit in a gallon jug throughout the day and depending on hydration needs.

Is your skin like bright red after all 5 scoops!?!?

thanks man, glad to be around

I cant imagine the niacin flush that would result, must be extreme and quite tingly

I remember people at work thinking I was having a reaction when I had a "flush", was kinda funny

Oh yeah, all morning people were asking me if there was something wrong with me.

AE14 · 08-13-2008, 07:53 PM

make sure to keep your H2O up with poseidon. It seems to lessen the flush for me, at least slightly

This just simply isn't true. Remember the adage, "dose determines the poison"?

5 scoops of Poseidon would probably be better utilized if spread throughout the day. I don't know if they have a cap on what one can dose per day but even with these water soluble vitamins toxicity and imbalances could eventually rise. My concern with a 5 scoop dose is that it might simply be wasteful as the body can only absorb a limited amount of nutrients at a time. You could easily use a 2 scoop dose and derive the same effect. But perhaps you've already experimented with dosing and found this not to be the case.

Well I also only use it for special circomstances so dose for me doesn't matter because I don't care if it last longer as I don't use it on a daily basis just when I know I need it so yto me if its all gone faster is irrelavent.

yah u can do that ..wont do any harm .. its better to spread it out through out the day though

thebigt · 08-14-2008, 12:32 PM

sounds like you are into the tingles. try adding some bulk beta alanine for an even bigger rush, with just 2or3 scoops of poseidon.

bulk ba is cheap, and added to poseidon will give more bang for the buck. been reading a lot about liver stress and high dose niacin, adding ba to poseidon and cutting down the dose seems safer, plus you will still get the rush [buzz].

AE14 · 08-14-2008, 01:47 PM

In terms of the studies that you have seen, pertaining to high doses of niacin, what type of dosages are being referred to? It would be interesting to see the limitations based on scientific studies

a nice discussion on this topic going on in celc5's havoc with fura thread in the cycle info section. celc is open to new info, i am sure he would welcome your input.

awesome, I will have to get over there today and take a look. Thanks for the heads up

AE14 · 08-14-2008, 02:14 PM

just as a quick aside, the dosage in Poseidon of niacin is only about 75mg (per scoop, could be a tad more) as I recall, where some of the studies I have seen are talking about dosing over 6g per day. Just an fyi

that is around what i expected, but 6 scoops at one time with all the enhancement of poseidon seems a bit overboard. by enhancement i mean everything you take with poseidon seems to have more effect.

I dont disagree, it is a bit much, however the rec dosage is around 6 per day. I would still recommend spreading it out, no doubt

i think the op is hooked on the rush, that is why i recommended adding bulk ba, he could get the buzz on a lot less poseidon and spread doses out through the day.

..or just go with Swell

Two scoops turns me into a beetroot! I can't imagine what 5 would do.

Sipping a scoop in sports bottle throughout the night is a beneficial addition to any supplementation programme.

agreed, that stuff gets you moving, and with the BA the tingles are even more present
