Is anyone NOT responding to Prime?

The Prime logs are impressive and I'm happy for everyone.
Everyone except me. Two weeks in and nothing. I'm to the point of double dosing now and I'll finish the first bottle and move into a second bottle at double dose just to give the product a chance. I know there are non responders to just about everything but so far I am very disappointed.

I'm hoping that it's just taking longer to kick in for me but I'm afraid this it's going to fall short for me like most supplements do.

Thirteen days.
Yea, I've upped protein and calories. I know people will ask about my training and diet. Thing is, when a supplement works, it works.
In contrast, for two of those days I used a core zap sample, and man I had two awesome workouts with serious PRs.

Why are you awake? What time is it where you're at?

You are the first non responder. I think I would have upped dosages just to see if it helps

I tried the 3x3 loading dosage that was recommended for the first week and saw results within the first week. However returning to 2x3 its like i'm not taking it at all, no real affect.

I've got a sinus infection at the moment so i've stopped working out, and therefore, stopped most of my supps. I'll try 3x3 again for a longer period next time.

I'm about a week in. I feel alright, maybe a little better, but I haven't noticed anything in terms of weight gain/strength gain.

Then again, I'm only about half as far as you are, so it might be an issue of simply building up to it. After all, USP themselves have stated that the "money week" is around 3-4.

Only time will tell, but right now I'm not feeling much of anything really.

Yea, I work 5p-5a (foods). It sucks. I had the day off.

I don't want to be a non responder. I'm sick of being a non responder. Call me Mr. Non Responder. Mr. Non Responder not happy.

I'm only about 4-5 days in and I don't real feel anything. Maybe a slight increase in overall mood, but again I expect something by this time next week. Luckily I got it for $30, but people who paid $55 may turn out to be dissapointed. One thing to note is that I seem to maybe lost a slight amount of weight in my waist. More to come.

I was very scepetical at first, but Prime worked for me within 3 days. I am now on day 11; strength is up, my body feels jacked and a pump that is with me all day and it's only getting better. But i am doing 3-3-3 in stead of 2-2-2. I will remain doing so, untill i reach the 6-week mark.

Too bad it doesn't work for you bro, maybe you should have started with a heavy dose?

I hope this doesn't happen to me... My son is responding very well so hopefully it's in the genetics. It has to happen to some people though, nothing works for everyone when it comes to herbals.

Sorry to hear this man.

Not just with USP but all herbal products, not so strange at all. I have also noticed that many that don't respond to one herbal product don't respond to others as well. I am a creatine non-responder... jeez that's strange...

DW , you really like usp bro, good for you their products work on your cycles but what you are basically saying is that if herbals don't work on you , don't spend your money in prime, I don't think it works that way, and don't forget that our mental attitude towards a supp can make all the difference too

That's not what I'm saying, I am saying that some don't repond to herbals in general. Some respond to some not others and some respond well to most. If you don't respond to something that isn't strange it's normal. It's the case with all herbals, USP deals in herbs... do the math lol. I am just saying it's not fair to single out one company for non-response when it is an across the board reaction to herbals.

I also like PAL, Appnut, RPN, Nutra, oh and anabolic inovations. What I really like is good herbal supplements. The better I get to know my body the more effective they seem to be for me.

Well there was no special diet recommendations, only my own feeling. I got so damn fast hungry and when upping protein it was better, felt stronger In the gym too.
