I'm not sure what this chap is talking about, my placebo effect at 1/16 of a serving preworkout has been fantastic haha

Selfies being posted in this thread - what is this, Body Space? This thread has gone so far off the rails, it's absurd. The scientific discussion around this topic has largely evaporated and been replaced with low- information, tabloid-like nonsense. The epi craze has unleashed a wave of ugly trolls.
Brundel, thanks for introducing an intriguing new product. I'm waiting for Planetary to fulfill my weeks-old order. Will post feedback after I complete my eight-week cycle. I am excited to try it. But reading the incessant remarks in this thread - "the stock is out, when can I get more, this stuff is hype, this stuff is amazing, etc." - is exhausting. /unsubscribed
Parting thought...Bill Phillips once had the audacity to tell his customers that HMB "felt like Deca." But many of you kids won't remember that. For those that do, we learned this lesson: initial marketing pushes promise the world, but time will tell the story. And time with tell the story with epi.

Any updates on when it arrives at Nutraplanet ????
I remember this.....well. Its being reintroduced by the way by another big company....16lbs of muscle in 8 weeks is what they claim. I try to tell people its a rehash of an old worthless product but who knows....maybe this time it will be spiked with SD. THe difference here is there are reports, worldwide, validating every word I said about (-)-epi. If you dont believe.....you will once you take it. Not much more I can do. Our internal trials- insanely strong Public sponsored logs-Same Non sponsored logs-Same literally over 100 reviews-Same TONS of viable research indicating it works- Tons of companies now coming out with (-)-epi products- If this isnt enough evidence nothing is going to be. Ill just say....try it first. THen let us know your assessment. Not the other way around lol.Selfies being posted in this thread - what is this, Body Space?

I don't see how you can say that HMB is an old worthless product. The voluminous amount of data available for it all points otherwise. The problem is that when supplement companies tried to push HMB, they treated it as if it was a strong anabolic (in reality it's a moderate anabolic at best, it's main MOA is blocking protein break down). So Bill Phillips trying to market it as a AAS alternative was just asinine to begin with since the stuff doesn't act anything like AAS or anabolics in general. Granted, at the time, folks actually did believe HMB to be a good anabolic which was only later discovered that it's main MOA was to directly block protein breakdown (anti-catabolic).
Whatever ones current training is, that is most likely structured with ones own recovery rate in mind. You throw HMB into the mix, you now have a higher threshold for total work output. If you end up training as you did before, you're leaving the benefits on the table because you did not take advantage of the additional bandwidth you now have (again, the stuff is only a moderate anabolic at best but a very strong anti-catabolic).
I of course am not making excuses for MTs marketing, that's an entirely different discussion, but looking at the compound itself, it's a very well understood and well studied compound so saying that it's worthless based on idiotic claims made by the buffoons running some supplement companies is nonsensical.
Im not disagreeing with your statements at all. My point.... ads say 16lbs of muscle gained on average. This means some gained more some less.
Now.....I dont believe, under any circumstance, Free HMB will give you 16lbs of lean mass in 8-12 weeks.
Again it prevents catabolism. So we are not seeing an increase in anabolism. How much protein breakdown do we think HMB can prevent.
1.5lbs a week of muscle? Its not possible as far as I know. Even with AAS this doesnt happen. And with AAS we have a HUGE increase in anabolism along with the anti catabolism.
With AAS you gain alot more but a ton of it is intracellular water and glycogen which is transient. HMB this doesnt happen.
HMB would be muscle as we are talking about preventing catabolism of pre existing tissue allowing for continued accumulation.
Its just not realistic.
I believe it might be beneficial to take it...if it were extremely cheap.
Sort of like something like citrulline or beta alanine. It plays a role and has a place in the arsenal of someone who uses tons of supps.
Its not an anabolic agent like its being promoted though and to promote it as such to users is insulting to them and makes the industry look bad.
So, not worthless, but not even close to working as advertised and...for the whole reason why people are buying it.
Promoting HMB as an anabolic that users gain 16lbs is the whole reason there is so much skepticism regarding supplements.
They had very good reason. I was gonna leave it out because I dont want to hurt the feelings of all the guys taking freehmb. The studies were performed by the company that sells the free hmb. _pretty much always a bad sign. The members who were studied were primarily employees of the company that sells freeHMB. This is terrible. I mean..its almost a joke for a study being published. Couple this with results that defy human biology and you can pretty much bet your house the study was mostly or 100% bs. THe study showed 16+ pounds of muscle gained + 5kg or 10+lbs of fat lost. Again...this is biologically impossible under these or any circumstances. This is ergos review- We're going to be honest here: we just can't believe these results. Experienced strength athletes simply can't gain 7 kg lean meat in three months by training and taking a supplement. And then losing 5 kg fat at the same time? That's not even possible if you take steroids. So how would taking a supplement make it possible?Agreed, but remember, the study itself was getting poo poo'd way before anybody even heard about Clear Muscle (Ergo-Log poo poo'd the study). When Ergo-Log poo poo'd the study, they were stating how it's impossible to gain that much muscle in the study... even though the study specifically stated LBM which you and I both understand means anything that's not fat mass (so mostly water and glycogen retention after the tapering from the overreach). HMB in general though, speaking of the calcium bonded form, anecdotal-ly seems to be very effective on cutting cycles though from the myriad of posts I've seen that spans several years worth. It seems to be the majority of the cases where there has been positive feedback, from people on a cutting cycle.
This is true, however, these are studies that will most likely be included in bids for funding or for FDA approval. Meaning they will need to stand up to scientific scrutiny. They are performed by people who are trying to prevent disease not sell a supplement. The members of the studies are not the company employees. The results are reasonable and repeatable. While your statement is true Im sure you cant possibly believe we can compare the studies validity. If you read the Free HMB study (perhaps you have) you would see what Im talking about. Its like reading a comedy. Nobody with reasonable scientific knowledge would buy it for a second. Not so with the (-)-epi studies obviously or there would not be so many companies coming out with products or so many research studies underway by multiple pharma companies.The human studies on (-)-epicatechin were/are being funded by the pharmaceutical companies that want to sell (-)-epicatechin tooWho other than someone interested in finding out if a product works for purposes of selling it would spend the money on a study? That's an argument I've never really understood.

Better yet...
If free HMB is so good at preventing catabolism why are pharma companies not looking into it for muscle wasting diseases?
(-)-epi many are.

It has been looked into. That is one area of HMB studies where they've focused extensively on. Elderly population prone to muscle wasting and cancer patients.
It it appears to me that you Are again making assumptions without actually doing your homework. So if you are this loose with doing research, I am inclined to question (-)epi to be perfectly frank.
Perhaps because HMB is patented and Metabolic owns it? Metabolic is also a company founded by the person that discovered HMB. Pharma didn't pick it up because Metabolic already owns the whole enchilada. How in the world are you so critical of an ingredient and company (Metabolic) and history of the ingredient when it's quite evident that you know very little about any of it.So your making my point.If its so good....why isnt it being used for muscle wasting diseases? Sorry should have said used not researched. 16lbs of muscle and 10lbs of fat loss with no side effects? This would be sold by every pharma company on the planet.Im not aware of any studies regarding muscle wasting where there was any result even slightly compared to the study we are talking about.If you know of one please post it.
And I agree...its extreme. Enough to look more improbable than not. If they fudged one part of the study its not hard to imagine the whole study is flawed.So you believe that every single doctorate, post-grad, and grad student at the University of Tampa that worked on that paper has no reasonable scientific knowledge as it regards to the subject matter? I didnt say that. I said they intentionally tampered with the results. Scientific knowledge? Maybe, lying about the results? almost for certain. Right now there is ELEVEN clinical trials listed as recruiting subjects for HMB. If the recent study was a joke, why would there be such a massive resurgence in clinical interest in the ingredient? Additionally there are multiple exercise physiology department studies in progress on the same ingredient. If the recent study was such a joke, why would there be such a massive academic interest in the ingredient? THere was a decade ago as well. Lots of money spent with no real positive results. Again remember this is not a new ingredient. Its been studied for decades. I've read the study, the results are extreme, my interpretation: -They were eating near maintenance -They were exercising far more intensely than previously and burned significant amounts of fat -They were exercising far more intensely than previously and gained some quantity of muscle -The overreaching period was specifically included to trigger supercompensation and water retention, resulting in the late surge in 'lean body mass' Ultimately, that stills paints a pretty positive picture for the ingredient having positive effects.
You're making a lot of assumptions yet it's clear that you've done very little in terms of looking into the subject.And I agree...its extreme. Enough to look more improbable than not. If they fudged one part of the study its not hard to imagine the whole study is flawed.

when does Planetary nutrition get folli? Don't really like strong supps international shipping options. and there are some other stuff I wanna grab too. is it like to weeks or some days or?
If its the same guy that discovered HMB then its the same guy who said it was amazing a decade ago right?
It was pushed by tons of companies. I remember eating a bunch of it and got nothing but GI distress.
Im not critical. Im just pointing out the obvious.
Have you seen anyone gain 16lbs and lose 10lbs of fat using free hmb yet?
Even close? I havnt even looked. But Im pretty confident nobody has.
(-)-epi I said 10lbs of weight gain was possible.
Dozens of guys have seen this happen. Again....its one thing to say it will do something. Its another when everyone takes it and it doesnt happen in the real world. If you know of a handful of people who have gained on average 16lbs plus lost an average of 10lbs of fat using HMB, show me and Ill never say another word.
Otherwise.....until that happens Ill retain my view.
Only when people are making posts based on assumptions based on much of nothing much more than assumptions.the mentioning of HMB anywhere in the general vicinity of dook and they'll be swift and certain reaction much like tangling with Ric Flair once you've become entangled in the figure four there'll be no escape
I am 47 with severe arthritis in my shoulders & neck. I've been on folli for almost 2 weeks now & have no ill sides at all. As a matter of fact, today was one of my best leg days in a long time. No headaches in my head , just voices telling me to order more folli.
Just curious kissadookie...what kind of results did you have when you ran PA? I know you purchased several bottles and was wondering what kind of results you got. I used 1 bottle and noticed literally nothing from it. I did almost choke on one of those huge pills. lol
Good to here. I can't wait to start my 2 bottles of foli. Now lets get this thread back on track for the millionth time:thumbsup:.
What? You didn't come into a Follidrone thread to talk about HMB? That's weird...

Please don't turn this into another HMB thread
indeed he did unfortunately for him HMB warning system failed and dook found out luckily after dodging about a narrow nonetheless harrowing escapeBrundel brought it up as he has mentioned as much.
I have heard that if you rub vaseline on your face prior to administration youll grow faster. You HAVE to wear it to the gym for the results to happen though.
I have not heard of anything inhibiting absorption.
