What's wrong with Dmaa of today.

So far as I'm aware nothing pharma grade although I believe Evo Muse made some kind of herbal product that was supposed to help reset your stim tolerance, you may be able to find that and give it a shot. But you could always order ketitofen from overseas, it's not illegal to possess over here.

It was Southland Reset AD and I can't remember what company it was under prior to that. IIRC, that was one of the Southland products already on the catalog before Matt came on board with them (prior to starting EvoMuse).

I used it in the past but couldn't tell any huge difference. Never utilized keto, though (to be able to compare).
 
I don't think you'd need to spike a DMAA product with anything. The 100mg I used to take with 200mg of caffeine used to be enough to give me some crazy focus and endurance for my workouts. Synergy can account for a lot though and the other ingredients in the formula can make a huge difference. For a time I was making a crazy preworkout stack with a bunch of other non-stim focus enhancers in, like sulbutiamine, paracetam, ldopa. Nootropics are known to potentiate stims and enhance their effects. I gave a sample of my formula to a guy at my gym that was a 3 scoops of rampage kinda guy and he still claims it's the strongest thing he ever took but it probably had less DMAA in than his 3 scoops of rampage. So yeah, formula design definitely comes in to play. Maybe that was the case with maximise V2.

you took 100mg of DMAA?

Yeah that guy I remember also! Although I'm sure there was an equivalent EvoMuse product I spotted more recently. I'll see if I can dig it up.

There's AdrenoSurge -- thought about that after I'd already posted.

I know that's on the docket for re-release at some point.

Reset AD is Palo Alto Labs isn't it..
 
Maximize V2 was legit wasn't that supposed to come back into production?

Also, here is some food for thought: if I'm not mistaken most of PAs 1,3 products were only dosed around 12.5mg per serving and it was some of the cleanest and best energy I would ever get.
 
The very first time I tried anything with DMAA I was yawning halfway into my workout. It is way over hyped.

Unfortunately it's overhyped for you..when it works it's amazing..wish you could feel what we feel
 
How did 240 dmaa with 400 caffeine feel? Anxiety? Palpations? Etc?

Not at all. Everything felt clean, but not euphoric.. even the first time I took it was not euphoric. When I took APS phenadrine v2 i felt like i was in the clouds.. so i thought that was weird. Mind muscle connection was through the roof though.

Glad you handled it well but that seems dangerous to me. Be careful :)

Yea. Booneman wrote his review in the "in the mail..." thread. Check it out... complete opposite experience.
I will not be going back to that dosage. Even knowing i can handle it.. f**k that.. hopefully it works well on Saturday after a week off.

Mad how you felt o'k with high dosage, i have over scooped mesomorph only by a few grams and had poor workouts, i find there is a sweet spot with DMAA and if i exceed it performance drops off.

Agreed, there is absolutely a point of diminishing return with DMAA. Although this may be particular to the individual user.

As we get older i think we tend to realize that more of something is not always better in terms of performance and that there is a ceiling that once reached just leads to diminished returns.
 
If DMAA, DMHA and AMP effect beta receptors would they make clenbuterol less effective if used without having a break from them.

Yeah, any exogenous beta receptor agonist will cause downregulation. Since clen is targeting the same receptors, the less you have the less effective it will be. You may even get competitive inhibition if you're taking them simultaneously. I don't know the relative activity of any of these but for example say DMHA doesn't activate the receptor as strongly as clen if you have them both in your system at the same time, DMHA will be occupying receptors that clen could be activating with a stronger response. Like you said, sometimes less is more.

I think it's safe to say you should probably take a break before cycling clen and switch to a pwo with a different moa. I know everyone swears by clen but as I understand Albuterol is supposed to be better, less harsh on your gains and maybe even anabolic in the right dosages.
 
I agree with the poster that said DMAA changed after the whole army incident. Doesn't do the same to me at all. I don't buy the whole receptor sensitivity explanation, if there's YEARS in between usage the receptors should fully recover and sensitivity should be reinstated. It's the compound itself that's been changed, or diluted.

Maybe companies are underdosed or cutting it to make more money. Who knows though

I don't believe that at all.

Are there companies that cut corners? Yep. We've seen it lol. But everyone seems to share to consensus that NONE feel the way it used to. So it's not like the supplement company illuminati are collaborating to screw with us lol

DMAA is cheap as hell. You can get a kilo of it from China for 150 bucks, larger amounts that supp companies can afford would be cheaper still. Even at a high dose like 100mg, 1gram would be 10 doses. So a kilo would be 10,000 that's enough for 27 years worth of workouts if you trained every day! Just to put things in perspective. I'm sure companies would rather have a more effective product than under dose and lose sales.

But these companies making it probably are taking shortcuts or something. I love dmaa and wish I could find dmaa caps so I could add to any pwo or afternoon pick me up

As discussed earlier it depends what else you've been subjecting your receptors to over those YEARS. You don't have a DMAA receptor you have beta adrenergic receptors and other compounds such as DMHA, AMP citrate, norcoclaurine, octopamine and many other popular pre workout stimulants as well as some off label meds like clen and Albuterol all fit these beta receptors. If you've taken any of these in the interim them your body will have responded by downregulating your beta receptors. Thus making DMAA less effective for you.

Granted, if you've been off any kind of pre for years and you're not feeling it, that blows the receptor theory out of the water. But I'm going to hazard a guess that you're pretty much constantly taking a pre that uses a beta receptor agonist as the key stim. (I know I am) Switch to nootropics and a pump formula for a couple of months instead and I'll bet one scoop of your favorite DMAA pre will blow your head off after you've taken a decent break.

Just buy some of the raw ingredients and make your own. Like I said it's cheap to buy in bulk. Not sure if you can still get it in the US, you could until recently, but you can still import a lifetime supply from China for the price of a few tubs of dust or jack'd up.

Yeah man dmaa is a sketchy topic here in the states with the whole court case. Would not want to get caught with raws from China but dmma caps would sell fast.
 
I am not a big stimulant fan, I have dabbled with amp, but I really don't prefer it. True amphetamines have a downside and true sides that I feel few users respect in retrospect to the early day effects of using the compound, which most users develop a tolerance rather quickly to. So really I go a few years in between dabbles of my the good stuff (Dmaa, amp, dmha, hordenine), so my receptors I wouldn't think would be dulled to Dmaa. I think the ingredient itself isn't the same.
 
@ybriknevits I was liking all of your input in this thread... until you lost me at anabolic albuterol. Explain please

Yeah, I'm not sure of the moa here off the top of my head but it's been clinically proven, the paper is cited in this article. Here's an excerpt, I'll link the full article below:

"Aside from this, there are some other marked differences between*clen*and Albuterol*that should be made note of. The first is the fact that Albuterol has been clinically proven to be anabolic in muscle tissue in humans, as opposed to Clenbuterol which has only been proven to be anabolic in animals."

The upshot is, you're not likely to make gains on Albuterol comparable to AAS but it does cause muscle anabolism, perhaps a more accurate description would be ergogenesis resulting in muscle growth? And obviously it's not brought about by stimulation of the AR. On a cut you'll keep more muscle than you would with clen. The half life is shorter and it'll require more frequent dosing but it's more of a targeted approach compared to clen's "carpet bomb".

Anyway, here's the full article if you'd like to take a look

Edit: I didn't post enough times to put links in my posts (professional lurker), I'll pm you the link and you can share it in the thread for everyone else maybe?
 
Mega awesome reply!
I clearly cherry picked the albuterol statement in poor attempt at semi-troll humor. And you graciously responded by pointing me towards knowledge that is new for me. Thanks bro!

Hahaha! Nice try! I thought that statement might raise a few eyebrows. Seems like it couldn't be true but the info is there. Notice how I prefixed it with "supposed to be" just in case my memory had failed me. Luckily it hadn't and my credibility remains intact.

If you wouldn't mind posting the link up for others that would be cool. Although anyone with a white belt in Google fu should be able to find it by searching "anabolic Albuterol"
 
A few of my thoughts on this,
As someone whose had the old ephedrine, DMAA, these new replacements AND some legit Recreational Usage of "ahem" illicit substances. We are all just "chasing the dragon" of our first experience with it. That and I believe there was something "extra" in the original versions that wasn't on the label. And, in todays new preworkouts, they're being overloaded with 300-450mg of caffeine as a way to cope with the lack of DMAA. Remember the old ones had about half of that amount! Our caffeine tolerance has to be through the roof with all of this
 
you took 100mg of DMAA?
Yeah I wonder....

I bought a batch from Nutraplanet, they made 100mg capsules by mistake.

The stim junkie I am, I took it along side Hydroxycut Hardcore.

Hours later I cramped up so bad, not just my balls but my whole body I had to leave work crawling.

After googling in pain, I realised I was severely dehydrated.

Never again.

That is the issue right there. Cheap raws.

No need to wonder, that's what I took. I certainly didn't stack it with another properly dosed fat burner though. Just 200mg of caffeine as I mentioned. I'm not sure what went in hydroxycut hardcore back then I'm sure it's been reformulated a couple of times by now but likelihood is it also contained a beta agonist of some description. Also, if it had any kind of CYP enzyme inhibitor in it, which many of these formulas do (bioperine etc.) What you took would have been metabolised much less rapidly by the liver making much more of what you took bioavailable. So it's an apples to oranges comparison you're making.

Still,doesn't sound like fun man. The nut cramps are bad enough when you get them! The acorn dick must have been real!
 
The old DMAA's were probably just dosed higher than 75mg and were always in proprietary blends?

Whenever I used DMAA it still hits me with that DMAA "feels" and energy. I still have that DMAA sensation ALL DAY from like 7am when I workout until about 6pm when I head home from work...

Well cheap doesn't necessarily mean poor quality. Chinese labs have lower operating costs hence the comparatively low cost to us. When we buy from our native vendors we're paying them a cut for profit and import costs etc. I'd be willing to bet that the DMAA they used in J3D was from a Chinese manufacturer. I'm 100% sure it didn't come from a "reputable" lab like Sigma Aldrich or Merck because they charge £250 for 50mg, which is less than a serving, wouldn't be worth selling. They get away with charging such high prices because their chemicals need to be guaranteed for use in research and they have certification costs and have to pay a ton more tax than their Chinese counterparts. Maybe they made it in house but I'm guessing the majority of small supp companies that were pumping out DMAA products at the start of this decade were importing from China.

Now here's where it gets interesting. It just so happens that I recently purchased 100g of DMAA from a Chinese seller on Aliexpress which arrived yesterday. To make sure I wasn't getting fleeced and before I start poisoning myself with potentially poorly concocted Chinese chemicals, I thought I'd get it checked out. As it happens I work as a lab technician at UCLan, a university in the north west of England. I'm a physiology/pharmacology tech myself but we have a pretty comprehensive analytical suite in the chemistry building and I'm on good terms with the lab manager over there so I asked her to run some test for me. So far I have the Liquid Chromatography Mass Spec results back. She's also running GCMS and I even convinced the NMR technician to run a test and see if the molecular structure matches the one i pulled of pub chem. I'd like to get them to run HPLC as well since this is pretty much the gold standard when it comes to purity analysis. from looking at the LC results though we have one huge peak (~100%) at 115 which is the molecular weight of DMAA so thus far what I bought is looking legit. the COA from the vendor said it was 98.6% and I'm thinking he wasn't yanking my chain! I'll update when I have more info but I'm guessing what we get in our supps is pretty damn pure DMAA so the poor quality ingredients theory can move to the back of the line. It's more likely increased tolerance / romantic memories of how good these stims were back when we first tried them that's to blame for peoples complaints about current DMAA supps.
 
Bloodshot has 60- dmaa 1.3 and 60 1.4, so technically double scoop 120mg of the 1.3, dmaa 1.4 is mild and very similar to DMHA...
