AX d/c products??!!??!?!

Tell ya what; give me a list of current supplements that you're taking and link me their complete ingredient profile and you tell me what each of these do to you as a singular product and then combined with their synergistic effects. Now tell me in what dose they are acceptable and what all the side effects are. I would be willing to bet that most do not have these answers. They are looking for two things: 1. Effects and 2. Effects. If DNP were legal it would sell like hotcakes

How many threads do you read here where people consume 2x 3x 4x+ of the recommended dose as well as stacking it with other products that have little to no evidence in a real world environment.

Look at how the people are sacrificing college funds to get in on these liquidation sales on the same products we're discussing (minus SX which can still be found out there)

This isn't the same as buying turkey and it being chicken. That solely falls on the manufacturer because you know chicken and you know turkey. My point is that this industry is mostly filled with nomenclature and ingredients that hardly anyone has any educated information on. Now, that being said, it doesn’t remove liability from the company. What it also doesn't do is relieve you of your responsibility.

The rep told me
The bottle said
The logs said
These are some of the more commonly used reasons of 'trust' put on items with almost zero understanding by the consumer(yes there are exceptions). I'm wondering if this same blind trust is placed elsewhere in people's lives except for religion. People leave faith to worshiping your God not to what you're ingesting in your bodies.
 
Just saying, it's hard to research an ingredient when they do not put it on the label.

My thinking is that the outsource may be the blame. Possibly some wool over the eyes of AX. They may only be guilty of careless actions rather than purposely trying to harm anyone.....but, who knows....just stating
 
1. I continued to use as many others were reporting the same issues
2. The advice i was given was either "its normal" or "cycle your dosing protocol". 3. I was told on a number of occasions this would pass as different people respond differently to different compounds
4. Silly me for taking the word of the official representatives of a global supplement company.

So basically, you had symptoms you were fine subjecting yourself continually to and regardless of actual blood work and doctor diagnosis, you just decided it was 'normal' because some bros said so? How would this have changed things if it said something else besides proline analog? To me your answers here reinforce my point that people just casually 'research' products solely off what they say they are and not much more.


Let me add that i'm throwing myself into this as well. It isn't a soapbox but an obersation how we should look at our practices and adjust ourselves accordingly. I was pissed when the whole Venom thing came to light but after I sat back and took a breath I realized I was spewing fire in the wrong direction. Regardless of what they said in their write-up I know how I felt and I know how I reacted but the bottom line was i was willing to put myself through it for the results.

Are you kidding me? I am a huge advocate of "personal responsibility". I am incredible conservative, and support "hands off" policies ie. let the companies do what they want without much regulations.

But personal responsibility in this situation is absurd. That's like me selling you "turkey" and you go home to your family, serve them all this "turkey" for dinner to find out it's ground up dog. Who's at fault? Me or you? Exactly. I find it incredibly ignorant, uneducated, and flat out stupid to blame the consumers here, Jayhawkk.

Don't pass the blame onto the consumers on this one. If you're selling a product, disclose what you're selling. It's not like they had a label that said "We are hiding ingredients, take at your own risk"; the labels should fully disclose what's in the product. I don't think they should need to talk about amounts, though it would be nice; but at least tell me everything I'm taking.

I'm also not attacking solely AX here, but all supplement companies.

I don't think you quite understood his point. He's not disagreeing that "what's in the bottle should be in the bottle". I don't think anyone in their right mind would disagree with that. If the way the ingredients are listed (creative nomenclature) make it impossible to research what's actually in the bottle, then the consumer is still taking a risk and assumes some sort of responsibility if he takes it and for a prolonged period of time.


On the bigger picture I think we all agree...it should be listed and you should know what you're taking. Thats just common sense.

You missed my point, and the point of most others in this thread I think.

I'm not talking about the people who took 10 SX a day, along side their Bronkaid, and 2 grams of caffeine. I'm talking about the person who buys a product, follows the directions on the label, and was blatantly lied to.

The point I'm making is: You as a consumer are not responsible if you follow the mis-leading and false label. Now, if you're not following guidelines, not doing your research, not taking the proper precautions; you're at fault.

And explain to me how buying turkey and having it be chicken is ANY different than buying whey and having it be creatine. :think: (Broad examples..) It's not. And if you're trying to fight me on this, your just further proving your ignorance.

Finally, wtf does religion have to do with anything here? Stay on topic, shall we?

The ingredients listed on the product had a creative form of labeling which makes it impossible to know for sure what you are taking, therefore you as a consumer are still taking a risk.

It's 4 amino acids. Tyrosine, Proline, Tryptophan, and Carnitine. Literally took me less than 15 seconds.

AminoSlim-4 is a combination of four energizing amino acids (Tyrosine, Proline, Tryptophan, and Carnitine) that have been structurally enhanced to create a powerful fat burning, mood elevating, and appetite suppressing effect. Working synergistically with the smart nutrient Aniracetam, AminoSlim-4 increases well-being, wakefulness, physical arousal, energy, and your body’s ability to adapt to stress…something we all deal with every day, and hey, who couldn’t use a little help with that! AminoSlim-4 also compliments Cha-de Bugre by further controlling any hunger cravings you may have while working with Cocoa Seed Concentrates to melt away even more body fat, faster!

He was also mentioning personal responsibility; if he was referring to overdosing, etc, and just didn't mention it, or I misread it, my bad. It's not the consumers fault if the product is mis-labeled.

Comparing chicken and turkey and most of these ingredients are different because anyone can spend 5 minutes and know everything about chicken, what it does and which bread is best served with it. Let's say the 'proline analog' was completely accurate. How many people buying and consuming(even at proper doses) can explain what it is and how it reacts to the other ingredients and in your body? So, my point is that even the educated consumer is still taking huge risks with their health when taking a lot of these products.

The religion comment was in reference to faith... It was an attempt to be a little funny...

For those who had answers to all of my questions are completely aware of what they take; this is not for you.

My statements of opinion are directed at people in one thread talking about taking 200 dollars a month in supplements or 20 times the rec. dose and in the next losing their minds because a product had an undisclosed ingredient in it instead of the unknown ingredient(to them) that it was supposed to have.

Actually their label states proline analog.....which is the substance in question. Aminoslim-4 contains a proline analog.

Look at the label. Read the asterisk.

A combination of amino acid derivatives (Acetylated Tyrosine, Carnitine Salt, Proline Analog, Hydroxylated Tryptophan) specifically engineered and time release enhanced.

Have you been told anything about when the consuming public is going to hear anything from Anabolic Xtreme as far as the thousands and thousand of caps we have ingested and the thousand and thousands more that are out there and available?

Last word from AX was that they're 100% safe but a few of us are uneasy given that this 100% safe product has ceased production, halted sales, pulled their sponsored message board on AM, took down info about the product from their site, had their entire line pulled from bb.com, took down the forum on their company website, and hasn't given us one word of information since.

So jim623, do you have access to the cave everyone is hiding in? Do you still feel comfortable giving these to your wife?

In a previous thread, in the forum AX has now asked to be hidden from the main page, you - jim623 - said you "know what's in it." Care to elaborate?

I dont understand why people get so mad at the supplement companies for this happening... Its not like they had a sneaky plan to lace all the supplements with illegal/prescription drugs...90 percent of the time its the source (china for example) that has bad stuff... Obviously the supplement companies should be held accountable but if they follow the rules for testing there products (hopefully they did) then we cant blame them...

If only a company could figure out if there were some way to test the raws after they arrived from China...that company would probably never have a spiked product!

You can research it but that doesn't allow one to know, fully, the risk. And, what is a proline analog?

If I had 1000 dollars for each time it was done at all or done correctly, I'd probably have a few thousand lying around.

It's one thing to say, "I trust this is safe and I take it myself because I trust the folks I rep for and I don't believe they would make a product that is anything other than what they say it is."

It's another thing to say, "Hi, I'm an obnoxious, unflappable, arrogant schmuck. I know exactly what is in SX but I won't tell you. When I decide you are worthy of having the truth revealed to you, you will all have to apologize to me but you probably won't because you're all cowards and pussies. These allegations are unfounded!*"


* - If, however, it turns out that these allegations were legitimate enough for us to cease production, halt sales, ask to have our AM message board link removed from the homepage, take down our own SX site, take down our own website forum...then...umm...yeah, I'm going to hide like a bitch."

Jim623 - you belong to the former group.
