MANSports PF3: what to look for. compiled testimony

[thescience]

Apparently, some beta-testers have had a shot at Pf3 and others are on their way. I see posts dating back a year talking about its release, and now we're almost there. This thread is a compilation of highlighted user testimony. as I continue to paste findings into this thread, questions, comments, and personal testimonies will definitely be welcomed. Additionally, as I add more testimonies, I will be editing this initial post on page one with updated user highlights so as to provide a readily accessable concentration of information. all user testimony that I scavenge off the web will be in quotes.

here is some introductory info for anyone unfamiliar with the product:

Here is some more info on Pure PF3™ & its possible benefits.

Pure PF3TM is a Highly Concentrated Dose of Muscle Building Properties that are found at Very Low Levels in nearly all protein sources. These "properties" make up the BV (biological value) of protein. These "properties" promote Accelerated Recovery & Exploding Muscle Growth.

Pure PF3™ is a Highly Concentrated Dose of Good Ole' Muscle Building "Properties" that are under dosed in nearly all proteins.

Most likely the only two times in your life that your body has had elevated levels of these "properties" was if you were breast feed as an infant and when your body transitioned from adolescence to adulthood.

Shuttling nutrients was not the main focus when we were designing Pure PF3 but began to notice the enhanced nutrient transport benefits early into our studies & beta-testing. The reason for this is Pure PF3™ has a very High-*‐Molecular Weight that acts as a vacuum pulling every nutrient that you take with it immediately into your blood stream.† Taking Pure PF3™ with other supplements & meals only enhances their absorption & rate of bio-*‐availability in your body.†

Just a Tip on Dosage
I might suggest lowering the amount of protein (from food or powders) you are taking with Pure PF3.. as PF3 has been shown to increase nutrient bio-availabity & absorption by 31%.. basically meaning you get alot more from your food, protein powders & supplements that you take with PF3 - than you ever did before. I personally liked 25-30g of protein with 10g (2 Scoops) of Pure PF3 the best.. it seemed to work best for me & my other early beta-testers.

Also, If your training in the morning to afternoon time move your pre-workout dose with your dinner meal to better space your servings.

Just one last bit of info I will leave with you guys.. 2 Scoops of Pure PF3™ yields nearly 2 days worth of natural IGF production.. so get ready to GROW

there is this reviewer, who apparently is attempting to lose weight and is gaining strength on PF3, despite having had a back injury that had since compromised his lifting at some point in the past

•Overall, I lost 2lbs, 178lbs-->176lbs, while increasing strength on all core exercises
•Noticeable increase in muscle fullness about 14 days in. Even on about 100-125g of carbohydrates (usually leaves me feeling flat). This led to a very pronounced fullness during my workouts as well.
•Deadlifted 295lbs! My heaviest deadlift since my lower back injury. This alone was my best accomplishment. My goal at the beginning of the year was to hit 315 by the end of 2012.. I'm well on my way.
•I also noticed increases satiety after meals I would dose PF3 with. I wouldn't really be too hungry for at least a couple hours after dosing, even when dosing with a shake. This helped me quite a bit as I was trying to lean out before my wedding

here's another tester. he posted this review after discussing how he had hit a new PR. In this review highlight and the one listed above, both subjects noted improved strength:

Thoughts so far on PF3: Increased recovery time. I had significantly less DOMs from doing legs, and the DOMs that I did have were rather mild. I have also noticed that I do have more energy throughout the day. I have also noticed I am sleeping better w/ the night dose.

[thescience]

heres a compilation of a couple of reviewers observations:

Felt SO damn strong

I'm fairly impressed by DOMS reduction between yesterday's body-demolition and today's lack of soreness. Pretty cool stuff

Weight really isn't dropping at all though I am becoming visibly leaner. Can't complain about that!

Recovery: A totally stellar aspect of this product. I didn't experience intra-workout recovery enhancement as some of the other users, but I definitely noticed I had a decrease in DOMS.

Strength: Through the course of this log I've been doing 5/3/1 training and have been maintaining my prorgression with calorie deficit and an increase in cardio halfway through. Definitely spot on in this aspect

I think I speak for a lot of educated bros when I say we'd be more interested in hearing how you're purportedly increasing the bioavailabilty of peptides that aren't orally active than hearing from people who got free supplements.

Specifically about IGF-1 since you're pretty much publicly acknowledging that that's the highlight of PF3 and it has sort of been studied and proven to not be orally active in humans...repeatedly.

--

Also curious about the part where 1 scoop of PF3 = the actives of a scoop of whey protein. I hear whey protein is pretty cheap, as is milk. Where is the evidence that PF3 is somehow superior to protein consumption?

--

And finally, if 97% of my protein powder is crap, but I'm consuming raw unflavored isolate which is approx. 95-97% protein, are you telling me that protein is crap and I should go on a no-protein diet or something? I'm quite confused!

Here's to hoping you put out a better showing than Isatori!

im always happy to engage a thinker. I will address your points individually, as your statement is very concentrated.

sure, I've seen plenty of claims from beta-testers that were questionable in my day. Ive also seen wild claims that turned out to be true when I personally took what people raved about. the fact is I wouldn't have known or cared to take something if they didn't. I personally don't view a person's experience as the "be-all, end-all" of everything, but I don't discount it either. the fact is, a substance and it's benefit to people exists before extensive studies do. right now, the supplement industry is teeming with innovation. my whole thing is, if I don't have a study in my hand, but my friend at the gym loves something, im grateful for the heads-up

I have seen the reference to the igf content on the label. I personally don't believe that is the highlight here.

hey, evidence from studies is awesome. im with you. the fact is, I couldn't imagine a company sitting on a product that they took and loved for the endless amount of time and money it takes to render some defininative letters about it. a lot of times, historically, everybody loves something and therefore people feel obligated to study it. another point about the supplement industry is that natural ingredients are not patentable, so it does not fairly benefit one company to pay for a double-blind study that everyone else can sight when selling their knock-offs

great questions. I intend on starting pf3 soon, and I have zero intention of stopping my protein intake. I plan to reduce my normal protein by 10 grams. if I start soaring with everything, I will consider a reduction. conversely, I will be looking out for anyone's experience if they do decide to lower their intake. the guys in the beta-test logs I read did not discard their protein powder

haha. im familiar with the product youre referring to. ive been informed its deinately not that. for starters, were looking at a dose of over 10grams I believe, and there's a lot of pf3 in the bottle for the pricepoint. what I do know about the bioactive portions, of say, whey protein is that they are numerous and any one or number of them could be extracted and put into a really big dose in a groundbreaking product

whats up touey? haven't seen you since that thread on grey hairs. I hope youre doing well

haha. science is at hand. the 160,000 dalton size and the price point rules out igf. i see guys spending 90 bucks a month to let an mcg dose of natural igf sit under their tongue for alittle sublingual action; seems like they might be better off letting pf3 sit in their palate before downing it and save what theyde spend on OTC natural IGF products alone. just speculating. i, for one, am excited to be in unchartered territory. i mean, if casein is slow digesting at 30,000 daltons, whats the time for pf3 at 160,000? a product like this is just going to leave so many unanswered questions for the following decades to sort out.
