I had the same thing with other brands of (-)epi if I took it first thing in the am. I found taking something like Hemavol ( has GMS) calmed the effect.

As I know, Epicatechin can give Upset stomach. I Will try 1 more week. If its same, I will quit :)
 
i am experiencing no stomach issues taking 2 caps 1st thing in morning on empty, and not eating anything until around 2.5-3 hours later!!!

Interesting, took two this morning fasted and felt fine
 
No issue for me either...also switched to 2 preWO, though also using HV/IV and s. Lech, so not completely 'fasted'...

Glad to hear that :)
I think PiPerine is affecting or increasing the effect of PPI medicine I use. PPI (Proton Pump Inhibitor for gastric acid).

I wish Mr.Cooper could say anything about this
 
day 13:

took the weekend off, this helped tremendously!!! batteries were recharged and i was ready to go this morning.

took 2 caps of epi-flex 1st thing this morning then drove to nifs in indy. i am noticing much better pumps, this must be coming from the epi-flex. also had good endurance today, but it wasn't enough above my normal to attribute it to epi-flex---the pump on the other hand was better than i would have expected without taking anything else that would have caused a pump...

i might note that my endurance was very good going in to this log, so i am looking for results out of the ordinary!!!

what i do notice is something you commented on earlier in thread---my appetite today was non-existent. i took epi-flex around 7am, i didn't eat until around 11 and did not feel real hungry then, and only ate a small portion of what i normally would eat---it was very hot and humid outside today and that might be part of it???

The heat and humidity do the same thing to me T. I can hardly eat when it gets so hot and humid.

It could ofcourse be the reason but remember, if you are taking 3 caps at day, its 60mg Piperine. And i believe its a good dose to suppress appetite by modulating insulin signaling. (Like I wrote before).
So keep in mind, it can be the reason too .
I am 5th day on and believe me or not, my appetite is ruined! Stomach feels no good. I will give it 7 days more. If the issue does not disapear, i will drop EpiPlex for sure

How many caps you taking?

3 at day, 4 hour apart on a empty stomach. Would like to increase to 4 even 5 but it seems like Piperine is killing my stomach.
I remember when I tried KING v1 and King v2. Diarrhea, upset stomach, horrible gasses etc from day one. After 10 days on both i stopped. And stomach was 120% fine day after stopping. When something kills my appetite then something is wrong.

i am not seeing those effects...just decreased appetite for around 6 hours after taking 2 caps....i am not complaining, hard to find anything that curbs my appetite!!!
 
today is day 14-2 weeks in!!!

rain rain rain...had no reason to drive to indy today so no nifs...did do a short 30 minute arm/chest/back workout in my basement...i will now be willing to attribute the pump i am getting to epi-flex, i am not using anything else that would cause it and the pump is better than what it would normally be---plus my muscles seem to be fuller all day long....appetite is still reduced-not that i am complaining...no issues with epi-flex stomach is fine, no headaches/achy joints or anything of that nature!!!

Actually I do believe. Physical and mental issues can be worse.
Low pressure weather headache as example!
Low pressure weather can really be hard on some people

The humidity definitely makes my arthritis act up.

i have heard old timers say for many years that they know when it's going to rain when their joints get extra achy, i was just curious how many people today still believed that...i am a believer-but i am also now an old timer, lol!!!
