Tell Us What You Would Like to See From SNS & CEL (2022 Edition)

Flavored powder supps...for me sour is best. Sour: green apple, peach rings, lemon, blue razz, etc.

I love sour flavors too so I'm always partial to including at least one sour flavor. If it were just based on my personal preferences, they probably would all be but I have to stop and remind myself that some people don't like sour.

 

[sns8778]

Spermidine looks very promising too. It promotes autophagy. Caloric restriction mimetic. It may delay neurodegeneration. I'm surprised I left that one out. I'm not familiar with Astragaloside IV. Going to have to look into that one.

Check out Astragaloside IV and if you want to look at a couple more, you could check out Cycloastragenol and Telos95. Both of those are very expensive raw materials so not the best candidates to be in comprehensive formulas though.

 

[GQdaLEGEND]

peach sounds tasty though lol

i used to mix blue raspberry + vodka .. was such a hit when i hosted a party

way better then vodka+redbull

 

[mikem1062]

The flavors I'm leaning toward for that project in general are the best 3 out of 5 of:

• Grape Blue Raspberry
• Pina Colada
• Rainbow Unicorn
• Sour Peach Rings
• Jawbreaker

Maybe mojito / blackberry mojito could sneak in there?!?

 

[Falco1098]

I don't have time to type out a super long detailed reply at the moment, but I wanted to say thank you for posting that and also that it resembles a formula that I was working on last week. Like very very similar and I was second guessing myself on some things in it, so I appreciate you posting that.

I will say that I doubt we would do anything with NMN until the FDA clarifies their stance on it after them having recently warned companies about it and NR is a patented ingredient of Chromadex.

Thoughts on Spermidine and Astragaloside IV in a formula like that? I was debating on including one or both but Astragaloside IV is crazy expensive and I was considering just doing that as a standalone.

If you're really interested in products and formulas like this, you're welcome to pm me and I'll give you my email address.

I would vote Y on both.

 

[sns8778]

I would vote Y on both.

I think that Spermidine in a formula like that would be a definite.

Astragaloside IV I think would go well in it but a formula like that would already be very expensive and Astragaloside IV is a very expensive ingredient to include in a formula.

That's something I've been debating on about this idea in general - I really want to go all out and just make the end all be all best anti-aging/longevity formula possible but I have to be realistic and wonder what is the most people would pay for one?

Everything we do is cost effective and lower margin than most companies, but the ingredients for this are so expensive that it could turn into a really expensive product; so its like where is the cutoff point for adding more things.

 

[sns8778]

Maybe mojito / blackberry mojito could sneak in there?!?

It won't on this particular product (the CEL high stim one) but that's because I'm wanting to use it in at least two to three other products (if people like it; of course we would start off with it in one).

Overall, if all goes well, 2023 will see SNS, CEL, and Muscle Addiction all launch quite a few flavored powder products.

Be way ahead of the curve and come up with a product to combat spike protein damage (from either source ).

I would be open to that if I thought enough people even knew what that was haha.

That seriously is what would worry me is that I don't think that most people even know about it or what it is - so I'm not sure how well something like that would sell.

Interestingly though, I think that some of the ingredients in Blood Pressure Support XT would be beneficial for that and some of the ingredients in the upcoming Cardiovascular Support XT product will be as well.

 

[poison]

The damage is real. Just need to make people aware you have products to help.

The damage is real. Just need to make people aware you have products to help.

Am I understanding the picture you posted correctly in that its saying that you're more likely to get Covid in general based on the number of vaccine doses you've gotten? I'm just trying to understand the context.

I agree that it would be a useful supplement and I think that we may could present some information about how Blood Pressure Support XT and/or Cardiovascular Support XT when released could be beneficial.

If there is enough interest, I'd be glad to make a product specifically for it, but the FDA is so strict about companies even mentioning anything Covid related that it would be hard to market it that way.

I'm definitely open to thoughts and suggestions.

 

[poison]

The spike protein causes endothelial damage, whether you got it from infection or vaccination. Only difference is vaccination produces more spike in most people, and for a longer period. There are a lot of aortic dissection and other major issues happening now, not to mention all the lower level damage.

I'm sure mentioning covid is bad, but referencing the vaccines would probably have you sent to gitmo. Lol

 

[CATdiesel76]

Thank you for the suggestion.

There's a few reasons that this one wouldn't be able to be done exactly like this, so I'll explain them and also use this post to go a little further into conversation about sleep products and my future thoughts for products and the companies.

Phenibut:
I made a detailed post above about what they wouldn't be possible for us to use that in a product now.

Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate:

• Albion TRAACS is only 10% active magnesium if I remember correctly, so that would mean that to provide 400 mg. active, that would take 4,000 mg. of powder so you'd be looking at 2 tablets or 4 to 5 capsules just to itself.
• There are a lot of brands that mislabel this ingredient and put 400 mg. on the label and they're talking about total material, not active content.
• I would encourage people wanting to use this to use the above information to safeguard themselves and to make sure to only buy this from companies that they know are legit like NOW Foods for example.
• The high dosages of this make it not a good ingredient candidate for capsule formulation products, which is why I suggest most of the time that if people want to use it, to buy it solo.

Lemon Balm:

• I am a fan of Lemon Balm extract and we use it in Sleep Assist XT.
• The reason that we don't identify an exact percentage on the label for Sleep Assist XT is because raw material supplies can vary with this so for example if we were to put >7% and only 6% was available, we would either be violating label claims or have to be out of stock on the product. I hope that makes sense.

Theanine:

• We use this in Sleep Assist XT.
• We also use this in Stress & Anxiety Support.
• I believe we will be using this in the upcoming Sleep Support XT (melatonin-free product)

Sensoril:

• I am a big fan of this ingredient and remember talking about it on here before hardly anyone knew about it.
• We use it in Stress & Anxiety Support and it is a great ingredient.

Note: Stress & Anxiety Support contains Sensoril, Theanine, Rhodiola, & Bacopa - excellent product.

Rutaecarpine:

• This is a tricky one to use in a sleep product because it actually used to be used in some stimulant products and some people associate it with that and that's why you don't see more companies use it in sleep products most likely.

------------------------------------------------

As of right now, we have Sleep Assist XT which is a great product:

https://seriousnutritionsolutions.com/product/sleep-assist-xt-120-veg-capsules/

We also have Stress & Anxiety Support which is a great product:

https://seriousnutritionsolutions.com/product/stress-anxiety-support/

Upcoming Plans or at least what I'm thinking:

SNS Sleep Support XT - melatonin-free sleep support product.

Sleep Shot XT - nighttime sleep support product similar to Sleep Assist XT and its possible we may do a melatonin free flavor.

For CEL, I'm thinking of doing a nighttime anabolic drink mix - like the concept some other brands are doing but with a unique twist on it.

agree here. Any legit Magnesium BC is 4 to 5 large caps or tablets. Drs best has a 240 count bottle at 200mg of actual magnesium BC per two tabs for a good price

 

[CATdiesel76]

I like the idea of a post Covid supp. So many people suffer from long COVID or something to help during Covid:

NAC
Vit C
Nattokinase for clots
Curcumin for inflammation
D serine or sometime for memory and cognitive support

etc

For High stim, many people don’t remember this but after the original clearshot with 1,3 PA came out with clearshot 2 which I believe was the first supp with DMHA. But it had something else special. It had an insane adderall like boost for hours but made me super nauseated after. But for your product I think many would love it. Here is a transcript from PA when he was on AM

“Clearshot contains two new energy producing ingredients to help boost physical and mental performance.
The first of these naturally occurring ingredeints is called Echinopsine. Echinopsine is a constituent of the orchid family of plants and has a history of use in Bulgaria and other countries as a safe stimulant / nootropic to treat fatigue and depression.
The other naturally occurring ingredient is 2-amino-5-methylheptane. This product is found in natural plant species such as Aconitum kusnezoffii as well as some algae species. It is an aliphatic amine with adrenaline like activity. It too has a history of use and safety in Europe.”

I believe it was Echinopsine. It was also in his last formulation of AMP and it was incredible clean energy.

Thanks. I knew about the spike protein and endothelial damage, the way the image appeared, it confused me bc it seemed to be talking about the incidence of Covid itself.

The endothelial damage aspect is one that I think that Blood Pressure Support XT and the upcoming Cardiovascular Support XT could help with quite well but it would definitely be tricky to even mention that aspect of it to people marketing wise.

I appreciate the suggestion on the stims product. No one else that I know of ever used Echinopsine in a supplement and I'm not sure the actual legality of it. The 'constituent of the orchid family' we've seen played out and wind up being as not allowed ingredients by the FDA several times now, so that would worry me. Plus, with the way that product was blended, it would be hard to know how well that ingredient worked outside of the DMHA.

I love the idea of a supplement to help with long Covid but the problem is that a company really isn't supposed to market it for anything Covid related.

I think that Elite Curcumin + Focus XT + Immune Support XT is a great combination for it.

I think that Cardiovascular Support XT + Blood Pressure Support XT will be a great stack for the cardiovascular aspects.

We could do a single supplement more simplistic design if enough people are interested, but there are so many different aspects of long Covid that it would be hard to cover everything in one product.

Something that this has me thinking is that it could be interesting to do some potential stacks related to it based on the symptoms and different aspects.

The image is. I'm just pointing out the prevalence of spike circulating; those vaxxed are getting hit hard not only by what the vax does, but an increased incidence of infection after. Both cause spike circulation and damage.

Natural immunity generally causes less spike damage from the initial infection, and provides better protection against subsequent infection.

Either could use some restorative and/or protective help.

Yeah, the image made it seem like it was talking about getting Covid, not the spike protein issues so that's where I was confused.

 

[3clipseGT]

When I got hit hard with Covid the second time the inflammation was absolutely insane. Like my TRT inject sites were even swollen. Luckily I take a good curcumin, NAC, D3, quercefit and zinc together so I essentially doubled up on them but man it was brutal.

 

[poison]

Yeah man, I hurt bad, like beat to **** with a 2 x 4 bad. Pain would move around and settle on old injuries, like fucking system check. I was taking Curcumin, d3, and other stuff the whole time.

[Stopstalking2]

When I was hospitalized with Covid/pneumonia is was not prescribed much in the hospital. Just 3 liters oxygen(refused any ventilators) just put me on

zinc sulfate
Vit c
Vit b1
Melatonin (not sure why but sure Steve might know ?)
And baby aspirin

 

[3clipseGT]

I was also taking nattokinase and still do which I think is extremely important given what it does with fibrinogen and breaking it down and the blood clot worries from covid/vaxx.

 

[Mirage2reality]

Arterosil and Endocalyx pro both work on restoring the endothelial glycocalyx after covid reeks havoc

My wife & I both experienced it attacking various muscle and joints, even places I don’t recall ever having injury (like my left hip). My old low back issues flamed up terribly. Her hamstrings also became crippling.

Quite the terror, the OG strain.

I would think that they did the Melatonin just to try to help you sleep as soundly as possible. I could make a couple of other arguments for why they may have given it under those circumstances but that would be the most likely one.

 

[Falco1098]

Flavor wise: the best single flavor I have ever had after decades of supplement usage is without a doubt hands down REDBERRY that ghost puts in their energy drink. It tastes EXACTLY like red sour patch kid (that’s what they advertise it as lol) but I mean exact exact. Flavor is delicious

You gotta try their Warheads Sour Watermelon...while i love all the Ghost flavors, the Sour Watermelon is amazing - best ever.

Thier citrus is also very good, a true lemon lime flavor.

Malatonin is a super strong antioxidant also, i have seen many items claiming it is stronger than glutathione. So given people hospitalized often have increased inflammation due to an overactive immune system that might also be the reasoning.

Ghost green apple warhead is the best tasting energy drink I've had. They nailed that one.

 

[sns8778]

A couple of things about the energy drink flavors:
1) It's generally much easier to get them to taste better than a supplement, especially one with a lot of active ingredients, because they're essentially just caffeine and maybe a sprinkling of other ingredients.
2) Some of the flavors being discussed are collab flavors with candy companies - I wish we could afford to do something like that but its in no way possible. But we could come as close as we could do the flavor ideas in general.

There are a lot of outside the box type flavors that I want to do when/if upcoming products sell well enough to warrant doing them. Flavors are a personal passion of mine and I love unique and crazy stuff.

I've always been that person that mixes stuff to see how it tastes. To give you an example, we actually have an upcoming product release under Muscle Addiction probably end of Q1 of 2023 that is a Mango Blue Raspberry flavor.

Not derailing at all. This thread is for discussion of a lot of different ideas in general.

My overall thought on Silexan is that the studies seem better than the real world results on it. I think that it may be a good ingredient, but not great in the sense that the studies and some companies marketing of them may create unrealistic expectations of the ingredient and lead people to expect too much from it.

A good example of this is Natures Way CalmAid (Silexan). I'm a big fan of Nature's Way and their CalmAid product has been around for years and has never really seemed to take off for them the way some of their others have, and I read extensively on ingredients for stress, anxiety, and depression and it isn't something I see mentioned often.

I do think that some brands in general stay away from offering it bc it needing to be in softgels presents problems for using it with other ingredients, very high MOQ's, etc.

I think that Silexan may have some effect on estrogen but likely not to a large enough degree for it to really matter much for a male unless they are doing other things that could be aggravating estrogen as well or be especially predisposed to increased levels of it, but that's just my opinion.

Is Joint Support XT going to be in stock soon?

 

[sns8778]

Is Joint Support XT going to be in stock soon?

Yes, it should most likely be the next one to come back in stock.

The good side of branded ingredients is that many are clinically researched, consistent quality, etc. The downside is that when a branded ingredient company is out of their ingredient, you're screwed lol. And with the supply chain the way it has been, its been a nightmare - but Joint Support XT is such a great product I didn't want to change anything about the formula.

Everything is in process with it now and I think its already been capsulated or getting ready to be capsulated and waiting to be bottled; so it shouldn't be long at all. Finally

I think so. I had intended to post one today along with some of the upcoming products that people could expect, but my day honestly got ruined by some people on here making negative remarks about product eta's and launch dates for new products; and that made me wonder if its a good idea to even list out the things that we are hoping to release this year.

I love discussing ingredients, throwing around ideas with everyone, and interacting with people and trying to provide people with the products and types of products that they want, and I love and appreciate people's excitement about new and existing products - but I'm so burnt out and just mentally exhausted at how some people rather than appreciate all of it would rather make underhanded comments and complain about why product xyz isn't out yet or back in stock yet.

I'll try to get a 2023 version of this posted tonight or tomorrow and when I do, I look forward to hearing and discussing ideas with you. I appreciate your support and looking forward to the new products.

Thank you. I really appreciate the encouragement.

I think its definitely a minority of people that complain about it, but you're absolutely right that they do it vocally and usually in a negative and just discouraging and hurtful way.

I appreciate people that love the products and genuinely look forward to them coming back in stock and I'm always glad to answer questions on when things will be back in stock; but I can only answer to the best of my ability and sometimes things get delayed for a variety of reasons - and its the people that make light of that and make mean and hurtful comments and give me a hard time about it that really bothers me.

Same here. I miss it too and doing everything we can do get it back in stock as soon as possible.

If you happen to need some, I do have some clumped bottles that I can sell super cheap. Quality wise they're fine, all anyone needs to do is break the clumps up with the scoop or they can dump the contents in a blender and blend the powder and put back in the container and put it in the refrigerator. Anyone interested in that can pm me.

We should start to have Focus XT flavors coming back in stock around the beginning of February I hope and they should steadily be coming back in stock after that.
