That's actually a really great supp stack. The fo-ti, pycnogenol, b12, coq10 mix is amazing.

Thanks, Yeah, I do lots of "research" if you could call it that on anti-aging/general health/immune system supps. Swanson had 25% off Black Friday, got a years worth of stuff for under $100.

Nah, most likely you just got a super new bottle. The smell comes from changes in humidity which releases gasses from the seaweed.
Its been pretty dry and generally we ship to retailers within 48 hours of manufacturing so...my guess is new bottle, less scent.
There is 0 chance anything is different quality or strength wise.
Strong is a major retailer and goes through a ton of Follidrone.
No worries brother.

There is a FAQ yes but its not very active. Ill tell you about it.
So, for starters as you may know most BCAA products use BCAAs sourced primarily from animal and even human hair and skin. Pretty nasty.
My first goal was to ensure you guys were not putting barber shop clippings in your mouth. Just...no. Not ok.
8 grams 2:1:1 Vegan BCAAs sourced from fermented corn.
Second we added 1000mg HICA. HICA is a metabolite of Leucine. Studies show it is in fact anabolic meaning causes muscle growth and fat loss.
Pretty interesting stuff. For sure a great addition to a BCAA blend.
Finally we add just a bit of electrolytes. We dont want you over sodiumed. We just want to replace whats lost during training.
This is only available in Kiwi strawberry currently which is super good. Ive gone through 3x units already in about a week and a half.
Been making popsicles with it. Great at night when I want a snack but 0 carbs.
Currently its on sale for 20$ on our site.
If you order other stuff as well you can use code LOYALTY and get 15% off.

brundel thanks...very interesting and very cool...i do high intensity strength and conditioning workouts that involve heavy weights/compound lifts/heavy prowler pushes/weight sprinted/box jumps...very little rest except on the heavier stuff...would you recommened taking this pre, during, or post ? Keep in mind I take a preworkout (pulse by legion athletics)

I always drink BCAAs during training unless Im really trying to cut weight and Im in hyper caloric deficit.
So..90% of the time.
I highly suggest it during training. I do 2 scoops to maybe 60% of a gallon water. so 16g BCAA, 2000mg HICA. I drink during my training and finish it off on the way home. This way Ive got ample BCAAs circulating post training.
I also drink them frequently when at work etc. Just because they taste great vs water.

BCAAs are a staple. We plan to launch more staple products in the near future. Each with a bit of BLR style.

I am getting massive gut pains on the latest lot after a few days. I've used it before and didn't notice this, it's pretty much gotten to the point of unbearable and I'll have to stop. I've tried upping my carbs and changed timing to with meals only but it makes no difference. Its not even like it's just my stomach, mid section pains are bad, seems to come and go but just had another pill with my dinner and it's worse about 10 minutes later. Could I be allergic or something? Really bad bloating as well, it's the only thing I've changed/added to my diet recently.

I started a new bottle last week and haven’t noticed anything like that so far. Maybe try taking a day or two off and then starting up again.

Has this happened with other pills before? Just to experiment try uncapping it. I’m telling ya it’s gna taste awful but I had a friend literally go through the same thing and uncapping FD2.0 helped. He does this now with everything or let’s things soak in water a bit before consumption. There’s another tidbit. Are you drinking more water? Not the age old enough, but have you increased the amount you drink as well?

You have used FD2 before yes? Didnt experience this?
Anything else bother your stomach?
Any known gastro problems?
Allergy is unlikely especially if you have used the same product before without this issue.
I have yet to hear of bloating as a side effect. Generally speaking gastro issues are glucose related and when FD is taken with food symptoms are alleviated. Might be you have an ulcer or something.
Feel free to PM me and you can return the product or exchange it. So long as you havnt consumed the whole thing

Thanks mate I appreciate the feedback, I'll take a few days off and see if I can confirm its from the folllidrone. My brother has already eyes on taking my 2 bottles off my hands.

I had this about 4 months ago. I cut out lettuce and grapefruit anything that is acidic. Also I starting taking Vitamin E Oil tabs with my first FD2 dosing and it has helped a ton!!! I would eat my first meal and in the middle of eating take a FD2 capsule along with Vitamin E (this helps coat the stomach and also with any sores in your stomach)

No worries, it's certainly isn't. My partner had her gallbladder removed because of them a few years ago and I'll see the DR tomorrow about it, just have to put up with it for now, eat small meals and watch certain things like dairy and fats. Good news is I can start taking the Follidrone againGlad you got it figured out brother.

Just keep an eye on things.
I can post some blood results in a bit.
Normally post prandial glucose rises but when taking fd2 we tend to see it drop about 10 points vs the 40 to 60 point rise we would expect. I have heard of others running low carbs and being fine. Just be aware. Hypoglycemia isn't fun. I have glucose tabs in my gym bag from the old days and still utilize when running fd2.

Yeah, I should be fairly keto-adapted by the time it gets here so I should be fine with a blood glucose drop like that.
Right on. I’m rebuilding what I’ve lost these past 5 months of not working out due to injury so I’m hopeful it’ll help get me back on track. Going for a recomp basically.
GreenMachineX

So, I’m 2 caps in (1 before lunch and 1 before dinner just now) and not as keto adapted as I hoped. Felt a little off for a couple hours after lunch and just a little off now. It eventually subsided after lunch without any carbs so I’m going to continue as planned.
I had another thought as well...
With a true ketogenic diet, protein must be controlled to allow adequate ketone production because too much protein can be converted to blood sugar and thus, halt ketone production. But, if FD2.0 drops blood sugar, I’m hoping that will get me into a deeper state of ketosis and potentially allow me to increase my protein intake beyond what I normally eat and maintain adequate ketone production. This is just my hypothesis, but I’ll be checking my blood ketones and blood sugar to see if I’m correct.

This morning upon rising was BG of 78 and ketones .4 mmol. So no effect with the 2 doses yesterday but I didn’t expect it to either yet.

Feel free to play with dosing but if I take it when my blood sugar is already low i feel ill. Tired, nauseated etc.
Post workout with some carbs would be akin to post workout slin. Its something I know some of my friends employ.
Normal
So normally we would expect to see a postprandial rise in glucose of about 40points ish.
Blood results I have seen shows a drop instead.

That test on blood sugar I did it
some time ago!I used follidrone2 so many times.
Initially I took 2 cps 30 minutes before the workout, on an empty stomach. (1cps the morning just wake up 30 minutes before breakfast)
Honestly, I have not suffered from hypoglycemic states, gingerly, nausea, nothing.
I only remember to have more physical resistance during my workouts, in addition to that accentuated vascularization, especially in those periods of low-calorie diet.
Here, however, thanks go to epicatechin? and not so much for ecklonia cava?
In another time I used follidrone2, before meals, and here enters in ecklonia cava gioro (correct?), 30 minutes before meals I took 1cps.
I used it more for its GDA effect.
From here I did that test that you posted, and I could see that it works.
Now I have a question to ask brundel ...
In the arsenal of supplements, a GDA must be there ... I feel good, I like them, and they help me a lot.
In this last period I tested some products, anabolic pump, predator ... and I think they were excellent.
In February I will try Glycolog, another that I would like to try, has a beautiful formulation.
Question ... since in February I start Follidrone2, in your opinion, can Follidrone2 + Glycolog live together?
Among other things, Glycolog looks great, strong!
Thank you!

Because the raws are expensive, BLR deliver the best products based on top quality ingredients and not solely based on greedy profit like most supplement companiesWhat then reflecting, ecklonia cava is an exclusive all Black lion research ... how come nobody has copied yet?

I think with regards to Glycolog and Follidrone. You could potentially use them together but my suggestion would not be to do so while doing any kind of fasting. In fact this is the wrong way to utilize these types of products. Its akin to fasting while injecting insulin. The point of the GDAs is to allow you to eat more to grow more without gaining bodyfat. This is also part of why I suggest eating more when taking FD2. If anything you hear about people complaining of losing weight too quickly.
Eat up and grow!

Ecklonia cava is one of the most widely studied plants on earth.
Tens of millons of dollars has been spend researching it.
There are many ecklonia cava extracts available and it has multiple actives each with different effects, dieckol, seanol etc etc etc.
You can get a 25:1 extract from swanson for about 8$ but its only got 50mg per serving.
Follidrone has 10x the amount and a vastly superior extract. Many times stronger, more refined and with the right stuff targeted.
3x Follidrone caps is comparable or even superior to an entire bottle of the competitors product.
Nothing currently available compares.

Does it matter if it’s taken 30 minutes before food or with the meal? Is anything in follidrone required to be on an empty stomach?
toddmuelheim

You can take it with or without food. The main reason some people take with food is to avoid any hypo feelings but I take empty stomach sometimes and it doesn’t bother me anymore.
