Will trying anabolic pump be a waste of money then?
No it will not. Anabolic Pump and Yellow Gold are not the same.
I am in the process of experimenting with YG dose to correlate to my Anabolic Pump response. I am up to 1-1.2g dose of YG and still do not get the same anecdotal response such as hypo or pump.
It is my understanding that most of AP's glucose disposal properties stem from the Corosolic and Tannic Acid component of Lagerstroemia. However, Phellodendron (Berberine HCL)/YG, can produce results on its own.
The original YG beta was speculated to be the strongest extract aside from P-Slin. It is my understanding that because of initial overhead USPLabs discontinued it. That particular extract was well enough alone at 500mg.
It is also my understanding that YG can still stave off fat accrual from moderate carbs but not provide quite the glycogen force feed to the muscle as AP does.
It
seems and is speculated that the current 'YG' is no longer the
same extract as the original. This is no slight on YG. I believe at one point YG may have been more potent then AP yet that seems not to be the case anymore.
Personally I am finding AP to be superior at this time.
