Received my amino patches today!! Will be putting on my first patch post shower tonight. I want to give a big shout out and thank you to AgeForce for giving me the opportunity to log this. I will be updating daily!
 
Just put on my first patch. I will be wearing them as recommended by the package to the left or right of my belly button. Due to my work the wrist and arm wont be feasible. Was wondering about maybe putting them on the top of my feet? The patch sticks to the skin real good, pretty much like a nicotine patch. I am hoping these help with my recovery from workouts as I have been getting my ass kicked in the gym lately lol. Interested to see if the threonine has a calming/relaxation effect on me. Tomorrow I will post some pictures, and starting stats!
 
I found the foot to be my favorite. Slap it on, throw a sock on, good for the day. For night time applications I either go foot or inner bicep.

Im starting to think FL3X has a foot fetish. Last time I logged patches for Ageforce he wanted me to PM him a pic of where the patch was on my foot. I though it was a strange request but it all makes sense now. :toofunny:

Good luck with your patches I will be starting mine soon as well.

Foot fetish eh? I had a roommate in college who no joke had a collection of foot porn..weird stuff..definitely..different? Sorry flex, I dont know if I will post any foot pics for you lol. I am sweating pretty good at work, and the patch is still holding strong.
 
First day of wearing the amino patch is complete. I am VERY impressed with how well it stayed on, all day at work, and then still stayed on through my workout/sauna session!!! Nothing really to report yet, today was a recovery day consisting of:
-Foam rolling
-Swiss ball rolling
-Various stretching
-5 minutes of alternating 100m sprints and ab work

I am surprisigly not very sore from yesterdays workout which was:
-singles of squat up to a 1RM a2g of 365
-30 reps of clean and jerk with 135 as fast as possible (4:44)

About to shower and throw on my 2nd patch!

Welcome! Not too much to report so far. My DOMS is almost non-existent for the workouts I have been doing. I have also been sleeping REALLY good, and dreaming more since I have been using the patches. Applied patch to top of foot last night, I feel the absorption will be better there as it is so innervated as well as having thinner skin there. I am still surprised at how well the patches stick!
 
I thought I read somewhere that the foot is not a good place or transdermal delivery because of the tissue composition there (low amount of fat perhaps?). I cannot find the source though.

I have read the exact opposite, that it is one of the best spots for transdermal delivery. Interested in reading about it not being a good spot for transdermal application if you can find it.

It might be a false memory. In this thread I started about this topic some months ago, there was a lot of support for on-the-foot placement. Invalid Link Removed
 
Interesting Cogrick. A couple of things I've noticed since using these Amino Patches:

-Sleep has been AMAZING. I'm not sure what exactly to attribute this to, but the only variable or new thing I have added is the amino patches. I have been having very deep sleep, and dreaming more than I can remember in the last few years.
-Recovery and DOMS has definitely been reduced. My workouts have been pretty brutal lately, and muscle soreness is not near what it should be.
Still very impressed with how well the patches stick throughout the day. Everything is going great so far!
 
AND back from camping with the wife. Couple of things so far I am noticing:
1. These patches stay on flipping GREAT. While I was camping I would just clean the area with a baby wipe and some hand sanitizer and slap it on. Not only did it stick ALL day EVERY day on my foot, it did this through hiking AND going to the beach. I am ultimately impressed.
2. My mood has been fantastic since starting these patches. Almost a mild euphoric feeling, very relaxed, more calm and collected than usual.
3. Sleep has been great. In the past few years since I have been in the military my sleep is usually pretty terrible. Waking up constantly, having trouble falling asleep, etc. Since I have been using the patches I have been sleeping deep all the way through the night.
4. I not only do crossfit, but also do bodybuilding workouts as well. My DOMS has been next to non-existent, which is very surprising to me.

So far I am loving these patches!
 
Nice log. You are wearing them only in the day time, right? I think they have helped my sleep but it is hard to say because my sleep quality is not great. I also think they have enhanced my recovery, but that's along with ginger extract, mass pro synthagen, and some antioxidants.

Thanks Cogrick! I have been applying them to my feet at night, after my shower. With the exception of a few days they have stayed on until my shower the next night.
 
Update for any of you folks who are checking in on this! No drastic changes so far. It really drives me crazy when people run logs, and blow their results so out of proportion it's ridiculous. So far I have continued to notice some subtle, but noticeable things since using the amino patches. First, and most noticeable to me honestly is my mood. I have been noticeably more calm and collective. Little things that usually get me all wound up, and my bp rising have not really been effecting me. In other words my mood has been great since using the patches! Sleep is still solid, sleeping 11-5 and feeling much more rested than usual. My recovery is a little better as well with the exception of my on and off left AC joint pain. All in all from what I can tell so far these amino acid patches work well, much better than I thought they would thats for sure!

Solid feedback! You know if been experiencing some similiar effects since starting the amino patches and like you I gotta say I've been pretty suprised by this product. Honestly I didn't think I would notice much from them and despite my initial doubt there has definetly been some notable benefits. While I still think your standard bcaa product are a valuable tool I also think these aminos patches are a great adjunct particulary while sleeping or during ardous exceedingly long work days.
 
Agreed Daft, its a definite extra needed boost of aminos! Nothing really new to update. Sleep has continued to be fantastic. My diet has been HORRIBLE the last 2 weeks lol, but I don't seem to be doing a negative recomp so thats good. My recovery is really good still, this week I am switching back to bodybuilding style workouts. I love doing crossfit, but honestly my body cant handle it. I am in this for longevity, its a marathon not a sprint right?!
 
Have you noticed the more anabolic you are with it. Now that I stopped taking my BCAA's and protein shakes sipping on it I'm just doing the amino acid patches three times in a 24 period. I love this.

I think I can unbiasly say that my body is in a more anabolic state than normal using the patches. The results are very subtle, but I am for sure noticing them. I am getting next to no DOMS, still sleeping GREAT, having great moods throughout the day, and I am still extremely impressed at how well they stay on! I can't lie that I was skeptical of the patches being able to do anything at first due to them only having 75mgs of aminos, but they work!
 
Oh I plan on it..lol my wife already thinks i spend too much on supplements as it is though! Unfortunately I wasnt able to update recently, was not expecting to have to go do some army bs. Anyways, not much new to update. Sleep is still deep and great, and I am getting pretty vivid dreams still. My recovery is about the same. What I am trying to figure out is how 75mg of aminos can actually be this effective! This would be a great extra addition to most supplement regiments.
 
Because your getting a even stream of aminos over 8 hours weather you eat or not. I'm on 3 at this time.
 
I do wonder about the oral equivalent of 75 milligrams of transdermal amino acids. I'll try to find out tomorrow if no one responds.

I see it as more of a maintenance equivalent of injection aminos.
Orally, you would want it all at once, to create a spike, but we have to keep in mind that nothing is wasted here because there is no digestion. The exact numbers, I couldn't tell you more than what the website says.
