cAMPHIBOLIC or Carbolin-19

[sandman]

How do you guys think these two compare, wrt cost vs
effectiveness. They are both forskolin based products; however,
C-19 is a carbonate ester of pure colforsin....
i.e. colforsin 1,9-ethylcarbonate .

I used Carbolin for 12wks and found it to be pretty effective. Similar
results that others on this board have accomplished with cAMP (i.e. a slow,
but significant shift in body-comp at maintenance calories.).

Thoughts?


Cheers!

as a former Biotest slut (and I still love Surge and Power Drive)...I started Carbolin within days of it being announced, and used 4 caps/day until earlier this week when I ran out. I never saw any evidence of body comp shift that I couldn't attribute to damn near killing myself under iron, running sprints, eating very clean, and taking in a ton of protein.
It wasn't until I started using DS stuff--Lean Extreme and ActivaTe that my body comp stuff shifted into hyper. I'd tell y'all just what's happened there but I don't even believe it, so I can't expect you to.
I have yet to try cAmp, waiting on it shipping (I like to take supps, what can I say? LOL).
There have been positive reviews of Carbolin on their own web page (imagine that) but I also know of a few people who've not been allowed to post the negative feedback. If you search over at Avant's forum you'll find a decent thread about C-19 if you haven't already, where the mechanism/ingredients are discussed.
And I could be a non-responder, as well. Don't want to harsh on Biotest too much. They cry.

Hey JW, thx for the feedback...I'm guilty of being a Biotest
whore as well. Unfortunately, they do tend to "over-hype"
some of their products. C-19 definitely didn't meet my expections, relative
to the study they have cited on the web site. That said, for the price, perhaps
cAMP will be a better bang for my buck, considering that it contains the same
active ingredient (colforsin). I just ordered some cAMP, and will post my results on the
Synergy Muscle forum over the next 8wks. I'm going to take it as a stand-alone so the
results aren't confounded, or attributed to something else. Cheers!

Forskolin works. Problem is the quality of the material source and the dosing.

USP forskolin extract is top quality.
