Black Cats!!

Black Cats: The “Perfect” Energy Product!




So you take energy products…but no matter which one you take there’s a downside. Some make you too jittery, some wear off too soon; others give you a headache or lose their “kick” after just a few days. And then there’s those nasty-tasting energy shots that mess with your stomach if you can get past the taste…



Back in the day, products containing ephedra / ephedrine were the best answer. When dosed just right, you’d be good to go for hours. But even ephedra products had their downside – you’d crash - and crash HARD.



What if there was something that you can take safely and regularly that has no negative side effects and produces similar effects to ephedra products without the crash? We’re talking crisp, clean, long-lasting vivid energy that tapers off gradually.



BLACK CATS from Applied Nutriceuticals is so uniquely different that it is the “HD TV” of energy products versus all others! (Which are like your grandma’s old black & white television set.)





Take a look at the product characteristics:

* Increases norepinephrine output for intense alertness and mental acuity.
* Increases release of hormone sensitive lipase (HSL – a fat burning hormone)

* Smooth, time-released energy for up to 8 hours, with no jitters and no crash.
* Accelerates your metabolism and elevates BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate – which is the amount of energy (calories) you burn at rest.

So what does all this mean?

* Longer, more effective workouts
* Better productivity in work and play
* Greater energy to complete daily tasks
* Positive mood enhancement
* Incinerates body fat
* Helps tighten skin

Better yet, what if we told you that you could get a 30-day supply of Black Cats for the same cost as a few of those mocha-lattes from your favorite coffee shop? Plus, it won’t have all those extra calories and fat!

Great product if you are doing a cut/recomp and dont want to take a fat burner plus a pre workout. although, you can take this with Lit Up. Many people do so and have an awesome workout. you can even order samples before you buy the actual full bottle!!

[R1balla]

i do not plan on staying on that pre workout regime....but i want to give it a try to see how i handle it for future reference. ive taken black cats before and really really liked the results i saw. i just dont take it alot so when i do take it, it works like it did the first time.

[mich29]

your crazy man.black cats was enough for me.though I'm not a stim guy so it doesn't take much for me plus I'm already wired as it is normally

[R1balla]

alot of people include black cats with lit up....i just want to try it once to see. i really like black cats when im cutting or recomping. it really helps me get my stomach to wear i want it to be.

To me LIT UP is not a strong stim at all and when I was beta-testing it, after I used it once standalone, I was using it with my usual 2-cap dose of BLACK CATS and other stims.

Rosie...ur a god among mortals

[R1balla]

all i saw from one cap of black cats was a mental focus and awareness. i added one scoop of Lit up after i took black cats 2 hours before the gym and my workout was great.

[SweetLou321]

Black cats make me high lol

[nattydisaster]

2 caps black cats is where its at...me gusta

I like the company and the products from AN

That said, isnt this just another 1,3 product?

You've added licorice and Tyrosine to offset the stim tolerance (smart move) but licorice raises blood pressure (as do stims). Also, why NO Rauwseline? Great stuff.

Also: why no Rauwolscine? Great stuff!

[R1balla]

im not the formulator. i will get u an answer.

Rauwolscine acts as an alpha 2 adernegic antagonist, which, by design increases BP, at least to some extent. 1,3 DMA also has some effects as a vasopressor as well- so the combo just makes me a little nervous, from a potential adverse event standpoint.... A lot of people swear by the combo- it seems to work well for fat loss- alpha 2 adernergic antagonists seem to work especially well on lower body fat, especially in women


Licorice, in lower doses, has no effect on BP, or in some cases, the opposite effect (I have seen conflicting info):

Abstract
OBJECTIVE: We previously demonstrated the beneficial effects of dietary flavonoids derived from the ethanolic extract of licorice root against atherosclerotic lesion development in association with inhibition of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation in atherosclerotic mice. Administration of licorice extract to normolipidemic subjects also inhibited LDL oxidation. In the present study, we extended our investigation to analyze the antiatherogenic effects of licorice-root extract consumption in moderately hypercholesterolemic patients.

METHODS: Supplementation of licorice root extract (0.1 g/d) to patients for 1 mo was followed by an additional 1 mo of placebo consumption.

RESULTS: Licorice consumption 1) reduced patients' plasma susceptibility to oxidation (by 19%); 2) increased resistance of plasma LDL against three major atherogenic modifications: oxidation (by 55%), aggregation (by 28%), and retention, estimated as chondroitin sulfate binding ability (by 25%); 3) reduced plasma cholesterol levels (by 5%), which was due to a 9% reduction in plasma LDL cholesterol levels; and 4) reduced (by 14%) plasma triacylglycerol levels. After the 1 mo of placebo consumption, these parameters reversed toward baseline levels. Licorice extract supplementation also reduced systolic blood pressure by 10%, which was sustained during the placebo consumption.

CONCLUSIONS: Dietary consumption of licorice-root extract by hypercholesterolemic patients may act as a moderate hypocholesterolemic nutrient and a potent antioxidant agent and, hence against cardiovascular disease.

Dirk, u are such a G. anyways, i found the dosage that works awesome for ME.

TOTAL black cat dosage - 2 caps daily

first dose - 2 hours pre workout

second dose - 45 min pre workout.

i feel the first dose kick in right when my workout is starting. the second dose i feel kick in towards the end of my workout when i get tired.

the feeling i get reminds me of 5 hour energy. not really a strong stim effect, but taken with Lit Up or RPM, it produces that stim feeling.

[Whacked]

Thanks rms!

I agree that the A2 receptors for women are largely located in the lower extremities but I thought that A2 receptors were also found in the love handles and bellies of men?

Also, I thought Alpha-yo did NOT elevate BP....or perhaps I am thinking it did not as badly as regular YO......?

[rochabp]

good energy best of all no crash

[R1balla]

but when i take 2, i get high like after 6 hours. one is my sweet spot. two is too much for me.

[mich29]

I agree take too many and you get the feeling of euphoria.
