Gentian root and atractylodes extract are reported to increase hunger through ghrelin release.

I've tried full spectrum gentian at 600mg with meals, but never noticed anything. I believe a higher extract like 20:1 might be better, but hard to trust what little is out there. Atractylodes extract I can't source for myself, so I dont have any experience.

Other methods are herbs that hit specific cannabinoid receptors that increase hunger. Pretty sure this was the premise behind CL's black hole.

Good question. Would need to research more. Graminex G63 I think ranges from 500-1500mg dosage, but would need to confirm. I also think the study that looked at Stinging Nettle for BPH was 120mg 3 times a day.

500mg(?) Graminex G63
360mg(?) Stinging Nettle
320mg Saw Palmetto
200mg Ginger (20% Gingerol? Idk yet)
15mg Lycopene

Honestly curcumin would be a great addition as well.

Gonna look up some studies .. saw p & nettle are great and ginger just have way too many benefits

Yep, Spilanthes acmella might be a good addition via its N-akylamides.

I believe it’s a similar mechanism of action (regarding appetite) as Anacyclus

For anyone that likes Spilanthes, we might have something interesting they might like ;)

A high dose of a good extract though would be too expensive for inclusion in a prostate formula.

Alpinia galanga seems interesting.

Invalid Link Removed: A galanga (E-AG-01) induces a beneficial effect in mental alertness and the combination of A galanga with caffeine impedes the caffeine crash and improves sustained attention at 3 hours.

Invalid Link Removed: “Post consumption, alertness and calmness scores were significantly increased in the EnXtra, and EnXtra plus caffeine group (p < 0.001) as compared to placebo.”

I haven’t tried enXtra, but Alpina galangal in general, I don’t notice much. Shatter Black Onxy has a 300 mg dose and it doesn’t add focus like Hup A or anything. I also drink it in tea sometimes and don’t notice it affecting my caffeine level or comedown at all. It’s a potentially interesting ingredient but maybe not going to deliver much for customers buying it solo

i saw humanofort was mentioned... maybe in a DRcap??

I could look into the ingredient if enough people were interested. It's expensive and I think there may be some issues with them not licensing it to many people.

I'm not sure if a delayed release capsule would be possible and it still be a decent price though because they are expensive and the ingredient is already so expensive.

Thanks for the suggestion. It's a good one and something I'll look into.

Great feedback. And I agree, 1 scoop of each if a great combo of great focused energy for the workout and a good extended energy for after.

Energized Aminos is a product that I really hope the word will get out on more and more people will try.

I literally attempt to talk every customer out of ON Amino Energy and into Energized Aminos. I explain it like this: The ON stuff tastes good but the amino blend reads like a bunch of people sitting in a meeting room asked what do we have left over every month after making everything else we need and will be cheap to slap together???? There is NO rhyme or reason to the blend in that product yet it sells so well. So far I am converting people one by one.

it really is amazing the difference between a really well formulated product and caffeine + garbage bcaa mix. I've always been very against stims in an amino product because it limits the use to early in the day, but I found that with Energized aminos I get a much smoother ride and more focus than just pure rush of energy. I had a few samples of some other bcaa products with caff etc laying around and have been sprinkling them in here and there to compare and its like night and day difference. basically feels like taking a caffeine pill vs taking something more like focus xt when I take EA thanks to the smooth up and down with no real spike or any crash

Thank you. And that's a great way of explaining it. With ON Amino Energy, I think their goal was simply to make a good tasting product that could have the key words that customers wanted to hear - caffeine, amino acids, etc. - and sell at 19.99 or less. Which they've succeeded and sold millions worth of it. I hope that one day enough people realize the quality advantage and the better energy effects of SNS Energized Aminos and give it a try.

One thing that would help would be if the owners of teacrine would advertise, promote awareness(I hear that's a big thing these days......) as almost NO ONE outside of us "insiders/supplement junkies," have a fricken clue what it is and why it matters that it is in there.

I do tell people that a double scoop can also be their preworkout and that seals the deal for some people.

I actually had a customer call the other product in question his "hungry juice," as it makes him and his coworkers hungry after drinking it. Why the hell would you continue to buy a product that makes you hungry??? He left that day with EA. I basically tell people if all you care about is flavor buy a bottle of caffeine tabs and crystal lite/mio you will save a fortune vs that other stuff.
 
I love Teacrine. To me, its a very feel good extended energy.

100% agreed. I never really appreciated stuff like that (stims but not just for the "crazy energy") in years past but it really does make a big difference in the gym as well as for a generally more versatile supplement.

@sns8778 looks like ActiGin has been rebranded as Senactiv. Unsure of implications for you, other than relabeling at some point? Seems like a nuisance.

Does Nuliv allow for companies to put out their products as a single ingredient? The only single ingredient ActiGin product I can find is by Nuliv themselves (100mg/cap, 60 caps, ~$35).

I may purchase at some point to see how I like 100mg/day for a couple months.

Most likely will just be a matter of changing it on labels when run out of labels.
Pain in the butt but it is what it is.

I doubt they would have a problem with it, but I have never been asked to do one before. I had thought about it just because I want to try it myself at higher dosages.

I've been on 200mg for as long as I can remember. I really do think it helps with fatigue management for me.

I wish that Robuvit was more cost effective to use in formulas. The problem is that because its so expensive, there's no room to really put much else in there with it.
 
Question to SNS reps I'm a big user of SNS supps and for years I've always saved my labels
and once I have 24 or more I send in the labels for two products of choice but I just sent an
envelope full of labels 2 weeks ago and today the envelope was returned with a yellow label
on it stating "Return to Sender No Mail Receptacle Unable to Forward" so does that mean the
label program is OVER ? :(

It sounds like you may have sent it to the old PO Box address that we used years ago for this program.

The correct address and all Reload program info can be found at this link:

I hope this helps.

We have a tentative formula on it and are hoping it will be available in time for Black Friday sales but some of that depends on branded ingredient raw material availability.
 
Just picked up a couple more bottles of Neumentix. I used it last year for 3-months and enjoyed it. I’ve also used at some other point as a tea (Life Extension sells it on to go tubes) and liked it.

Would be a great addition to the SNS line

Kemin also manufactures FloraGlo Lutein and ZeaONE Zeaxanthin. Lutein and Zeaxanthin are commonly utilized for vision health, but also have some research supporting cognition. You’re the expert in sourcing, but a capsule formula of the below would be great for cognition and vision health (and I would assume you could capture some supply chain efficiencies by sourcing all three from one supplier - if the price is right):

900mg Neumentix
10mg Lutein
2mg Zeaxanthin

This study used 10mg Lutein and 2mg Zeaxanthin: Invalid Link Removed

Just throwing some ideas out.

Walmart sells this too, as a store brand (Spring Valley Mind and Memory support) ironically. I was shocked when I researched it and actually saw it was a legit ingredient.

it did strengthen mind-muscle connection and smells pleasant when you open the bottle. This could be popular as I have seen ZERO marketing on this thing.

Similarly, I was in a CVS recently and saw some “sleep aid” that was BOGO. Took a look at the back and it was IIRC 600mg KSM-66 + 200mg L-Theanine. I was surprised.

But yeah, I think it’s a solid ingredient. I like splitting the 900mg in to two dosages with caffeine. I’ve enjoyed it while working and lifting.

Any time table on products being back in stock at dps? Mainly ksm66, thank you.

We just got ksm-66 back in stock so hoping dps will order it Monday.

We are getting things back in quick now - about 3 to 4 products a week. And may be a few new products sprinkled in here and there ;)
 
Thoughts on a combo Mediator product? Something like 1.5g Mediator, 2g Peak02, 100mg ActiGin, 50mg AstraGin? Would be worth the ~$80/unit cost IMO.
