Tell Us What You Would Like to See From SNS & CEL (2023 Edition)

[N2ofusion]

I'm really glad that you like Sabroxy XT.

I actually had thought about doing an advanced version of Focus XT with Sabroxy and some other things in it, and I may.

We're hoping to have Focus XT back in next month finally and the first priority is getting it back in stock and then releasing a couple new flavors. After that, I had been considering doing a version that would have a few more ingredients - I could make an argument for or against that because I don't want it to confuse people, but definitely is a consideration.

Ultimate Focus XT sounds good. Personally I like one scoop and a Monster Zero to get about 300mg of caffeine. I can’t double scoop F XT as it would be a bit too much Choline for me. I also like adding Ginseng to things for mood. That could be a good one to add

 

[N2ofusion]

Also, if you knew a way to make a “feel good” ginseng product that would be awesome. We talked about this before, but when you asked what I’d be looking to see, I really don’t know what ginsenodes do what. But if you have something sourceable, or maybe the one from Anabolic XT, could be a cool standalone

The G70X? That could be kind of sweet standalone or in dedicated formula. It is in a few of their products already.

 

[mikem1062]

I was thinking Focus XT - Ultimate or Ultra.

But right now the priority is just getting the regular back in stock first. But it would be cool to do an advanced one. But if I do, I'm conflicted on whether to put any stims at all in it or leave it stim free so that people can take it with whatever else they want.

Just one data point for you - for how we tend to use Focus XT, I tend to grab (well, tended - I'm looking forward to the restock) the stim version rather than the caffeine-free version. A similar level of caffeine in the Ultimate/Ultra would be good for us.

 

[sns8778]

How is it I can buy Pepti-Plex from DPS right now, yet it's not even on the SNS site or anything?

Very simple - they listed it for sale before they were supposed to.

That's why it was listed with no actual complete image or write up.

As a company, there are a lot of things that go into a product release. The release date is today. I shipped to them last week so that they would have it in stock for the release date, under the condition that they not make it available. As you can see, that's not how that worked out.

Thanks. I've been pretty conflicted on if we do an Ultra version as to whether to put caffeine in it or not. I personally would prefer it in there myself as well.

 

[rascal14]

Is there a half decent electrolyte mix on the market? Something to counter liquid IV or the likes of it?

maybe an amino/electrolyte hydration powder? I haven’t seen one in the fitness industry I don’t think.

Almost something to literally just be a drink that’s different than water, you’d have to give it some purpose. Maybe something you can throw easy, cheap daily use supplements into? (Creatine monohydrate is what immediately comes to mind)

 

[Hyde]

+1 here to have the caffeine in the Ultra version

 

[jh1]

+1 here to have the caffeine in the Ultra version

+2. But a similar amount of caffeine to the regular Focus XT, nothing really high stim...150-200mg would be perfect for me

 

[Hyde]

+2. But a similar amount of caffeine to the regular Focus XT, nothing really high stim...150-200mg would be perfect for me

Agree, normal energy drink level.

Agree, normal energy drink level.

I'm leaning towards keeping it the same caffeine content as the original Focus XT.

I thought about going up to 240 mg., but decided against it because I think that would limit some people from taking it. Plus, its always so easy to take in extra caffeine if that's what someone wants to do.

We have an amino/EAA product coming out under both SNS and CEL and there will be some electrolytes in them.

I also have a formula designed that I'm getting ready to request flavor samples for for a hydration product that is along the lines of what I think you're talking about. I was stalled out on trying to decide whether to do a higher sodium or higher potassium version, and finally said screw it, I'm doing 2 flavors of a higher sodium one and 2 flavors of a higher potassium one. That way people can choose which one they prefer.

The hydration product will use all the advanced preferable forms of minerals, like the Albion mineral chelates.

Realistic ETA is probably Jan/Feb depending on how the flavoring process goes; which I doubt will be very easy for this.

Ya I personally wouldn’t want more than 200mg caffeine in a super focus XT. I’d rather it be like super noot dosed with moderate caffeine that way I don’t end up just having to half dose it because I’m a caffeine weakling. If anyone wants crazy stims just grab pump addict, I’ve been tossing only half scoop in every so often to other things when I need a kick.

I’ll be placing an order for an SNS hydration product whenever it drops next year in hopes to help with 2024 summer.

 

[Brianmc83]

Agreed with the low to moderate amount of caffeine for super focus xt. If more caffeine is needed just pop one vasoforce rush.

I've done that a lot myself with Focus XT.

VasoForce Rush is so overlooked and underrated on here. Great pre-workout and you can take 1 or 2 caps for energy whenever you'd like and its awesome. I like that to me its a very feel good type of energy.

That was one of the reasons I included it as a giveaway for some of the promos for Pepti-Plex is that I wanted more people to get to try it because I knew that if they did, they would likely love it.

 

[CATdiesel76]

Not sure if this has been mentioned or even possible but maybe a feel good or euphoric product. Stimmed or not stimmed. Not sure how many viable compliant ingredients that work are out there. I know you have kannaease and stress and anxiety support but maybe something more

We are going to be doing a mood support product, but I wouldn't describe that as euphoric.

I like the idea and had thought about it before, but like you said, there's not a lot of ingredients that actually do that.

A lot of people use PEA-500 Xtreme as a feel good product and some people describe that as giving a euphoric feeling for a little while at high doses. That's actually the primary ingredient in another Euphoria product on the market.

 

[madmuscle24]

Amla extract ( Capros) would be cool.
Maybe through in some artichoke extract, red yeast rice ( with the good stuff),
Pantethine and whatever else lowers ldl and apob. Fingers crossed we some of these goodies in the upcoming cholesterol support product your releasing? Any hints on profile and release date lol?

Cholesterol Support XT will hopefully be out within the next 2 months.

It is a great formula. Myself, and several other people tried out the ingredients that will be in it earlier this year and the results were excellent with it.

I like Capros as an ingredient, but haven't really found a place for using in anything as its a lot more expensive than ingredients that I feel are as good or better. But I do like it.

Cholesterol Support XT will not have Red Yeast Rice. That is an ingredient that a lot of people, including myself, wouldn't want to take unless it was absolutely necessary. For anyone that wants it, NOW Foods makes one.

You mentioned RYR with the 'good stuff' in it - monacolin K enhanced Red Yeast Rice is illegal in the US. I posted a huge thing explaining that some time ago, but the search function here sucks and I wasn't able to find it.

 

[TheMrMuscle]

Red Yeast Rice

I found it for you.

Red Yeast Rice - Clarifying Some Confusion:

There seems to be a lot of confusion as to the way that the FDA views Red Yeast Rice in the US.

The FDA does not have an issue with companies selling Red Yeast Rice in its natural form.

Their issue is with companies/raw material suppliers intentionally selling Red Yeast Rice products that are manipulated, enhanced, or extracted for monacolin k content &/or illegally adding Lovastatin (a prescription drug).

Monacolin K is structurally similar/identical to the medicine lovastatin.

Here are some things to help clarify some of the confusion:

• Red Yeast Rice can be legally marketed as a dietary supplement only when it is fermented in the traditional manner of production. Manufacturers and raw material suppliers cannot intentionally try to manipulate the extraction/production process to target or manipulate for the statin content.
• If a company standardizes its product or uses raw materials that are standardized/manipulated for monacolin content, then the FDA considers the product an unapproved drug. The reason for this is that monacolin is structurally identical to Lovastatin, which is a prescription statin drug.
• While it is legal for a company to sell a non-manipulated Red Yeast Rice supplement, it is NOT legal to sell the supplement if promoting it by promoting the monacolin or statin content.

Context:
The reason that a lot of people want to use Red Yeast Rice is to try to lower their cholesterol naturally in hopes to avoid having to go on a statin drug like Lovastatin to begin with; so companies intentionally manipulating for monacolin content or adding Lovastatin to their products is not only unsafe for unknowing consumers, but it defeats the purpose that most were using Red Yeast for to begin with. (Because if they wanted a prescription medication for cholesterol, they are easily obtainable from almost any general health practitioner).


I hope this information helps to clarify this issue to anyone interested.

 

[Jeremyk1]

I found it for you.

I don’t remember for sure, but this may be the one where the naturally occurring compound is impossible to distinguish from the prescription medication. So basically, if they were to test a batch and find high amounts, there’s not really a way to know if it’s spiked or not. So they end up doing just a blanket ban on all of it. I may have that wrong, but I thought I heard something about that.

[alvin1]

What is next? The new tribulus product?

 

[sns8778]

What is next? The new tribulus product?

The new Tribulus Aquaticus product is in process. Working on getting the labels finalized now; the hardest part was deciding on a name for it.

The next new release will be Growth Factor XT and I also have a new single ingredient product here that I need to release; its more in the general health category.

After that, we have a couple more single ingredient products in process and also Cholesterol Support XT.

I'm leaning away from doing many more single ingredient products unless there is a really big demand for something so that we can focus on formulas, but these are a couple cool items that already had labels done for and been in process for awhile.

Towards the end of the year, there is a new CEL natural anabolic coming and a second one in the works. We actually have several cool new things that will be under CEL coming out.

The way we're doing all this, I can never say exact ETA's because the focus right now is always on keeping existing good selling sku's in stock. But it should be a very exciting time from now thru Q1 of next year.

 

[sns8778]

Looking forward to trying it when my shipment gets in.

I think you'll really like VasoForce Rush.

Great pumps and really good clean feel good type energy.

I use it a lot of times at 1 to 2 caps as a pick me up during the day.

 

[sns8778]

Thank you so much. I really appreciate that.

I think the search function makes it hard for me to find some of my own posts for some reason.

I may have that wrong, but I thought I heard something about that.

I broke that down really well in the post that TheMrMuscle found and posted.

There is very little content of it in the natural form and companies use various methods to try to enhance the amounts that are in it; which is why the government took action and clarified their stance on what is allowed and not allowed.

Companies can't plead ignorance on this because they are required to be able to support that the raw materials that they were were made in a way that is compliant.

There were a lot of people that posted assumptions about it, but that's why I had broken it down in that post by the exact way the FDA clarified it and what the law is about it now.

It was a confusing subject for everyone for a long time.

I wanted to get opinions on something. I've had some people ask me if we would do an a-Cedrene product, and there were some reservations that I had about that because of the percentage extracts available. I would never do anything that wasn't at least 95%+ a-Cedrene because of it being derived from Cedarwood Oil. (No offense to companies that do offer lower percentage ones; its just not something I would be comfortable with offering personally).

I'd like to gauge the level of interest if were able to offer an a-Cedrene 95% at a great price?

My thoughts would be either 500 mg. softgels so people could take 2 to 3 softgels based on their preference, or just going all out and doing a 1,000 mg. softgel for maximum convenience.

I'd love to hear some thoughts, opinions, etc. on this.

No, I wouldn't really say that it is similar to Apigenin at all.

Apigenin is an awesome ingredient that is great for muscle, sleep quality, relaxation, prostate health, anti-aging & longevity, and a lot of other things.

Api-Plex by Competitive Edge Labs is a potent 200 mg. per capsule.

 

[thescience]

The G70X? That could be kind of sweet standalone or in dedicated formula. It is in a few of their products already.

Depending on how well that is absorbed or tolerated, i would make a g70x standalone a staple. Indena ginseng phytosome looks really good, but nobody has ever offered it at anywhere near the dosage athletes use it for. I think the highest dosage ive seen was like 30-70mg

Ya I am not 100% confident, but I am pretty sure the stomach issues are due to lower percentage extracts. I'd hate to make a poor comparison (but here we go haha), but kind of like how back in the day low extract forskolin wrecked some people yet 95% didn't.*

So far the a-Cedrene products I have tried destroyed my gut. Could barely workout after taking them
If a 95%+ extract may solve that problem, I would try it once more. Seems to be a solid ingredient

Thank you everyone for the input. I'll reply to all of the above posts together.

a-Cedrene is included in the new OL products, but they use a 70% version. The 70% part is why I was never willing to do one when I had people asking me to to begin with, because it is derived from Cedarwood Oil. So the 70% a-Cedrene wasn't what worried me, its what the other 30% was.

And no offense to OL, but I called it before they ever launched back when they were hyping it that it was going to destroy people's stomachs. Nothing against them, its just that the 30% remaining components from Cedarwood Oil I expected to be brutal on people's stomachs and that's what seemed to happen to some people.

It's important now to take a look at the actual studies on a-Cedrene. Nowhere in the studies did I find any mention of a standardization like 70%; therefore, it would be reasonable to conclude that the studies would have been done on a 95%+ and notably, there didn't appear to be issues with stomach upset.

Now, let's look at possible causes of stomach upset with a-Cedrene.

And @Resolve10, great comparison to the issues with Forskolin and that comparison applies in more ways than one here.

There could be two different reasons for the stomach upset with a-Cedrene at a lower %:

1. 70% a-Cedrene is of course 70% a-Cedrene; the worry wouldn't be the 70% a-Cedrene, it would be what the remaining 30% is and being that its derived from Cedarwood Oil, and Cedarwood Oil would cause all sorts of stomach upset and digestive disturbances.
2. cAMP - one of the methods of action of a-Cedrene is that it increases cAMP; and one of the side effects of increasing cAMP in the body is digestive disturbances; so there is always a possibility that anything that increases cAMP may bother some people's stomachs.

The digestive disturbance aspect related to Cedarwood Oil we can fix that part by going with a higher percentage, which would be between 95% and 99%.

The individual by individual person's response to whether cAMP bothers their stomachs or not, there's nothing that can be done about that part because that would honestly just mean that its working, but that your body had to get adjusted to it.

This has obviously never been specifically studied as to what % is what, but I very strongly think that most of the digestive disturbance issues related to a-Cedrene 70% were related to what the remaining 30% is, rather than the cAMP aspects.

I hope that all makes sense.

now this is exciting. OL trashed my gut for sure when they went balls deep with that extract for three releases straight. I managed to tolerate it for two weeks max when taking anabolic effect, and cannot tolerate it at all without it (im guessing due to rehmannia, though i havent been able to replicate the results using a 10:1 rehmannia extract). During the time i was on it my pumps and desire to flex improved. Toward the end i felt great in the gym for a workout or two before having to halt it. I probably would have noticed more benefits, but im always on forskolin anyway and i couldnt give the 70% enough time

 

[Resolve10]

That makes sense. I was kind of alluding to the fact cAMP would mean it might be kind of inevitable and the fact that there were probably also just some crappy Forskolin raws peope were using (I seemed to not have as big of issues with 10% if it was also from Sabinsa if I remember back then correctly).

 

[thescience]

Supposedly though there is additional benefit for someone who consumes the amount of cedrene in all three products of the alpha series, which would set you back $180/mo. A solo of that would open the door to explore that

 

[sns8778]

The study on a-Cedrene equates to 1,000 to 1,500 mg. a-Cedrene per day in humans.

If one were to stack their products, it would be 2.250 mg. total of the 70% which would be 1,575 mg.

My worry isn't the 1,575 mg. dose of a-Cedrene, it would be the 675 mg. of remaining Cedarwood Oil that makes up the other 30%. Again, I'm not knocking them, but I would never be comfortable selling or taking anything that had that much Cedarwood Oil in it.

If we do one, I want to do it as a single ingredient so that people can try different dosages and see what works best for them. That is one reason I was trying to decide on whether to do 500 mg. or 1,000 mg. softgels. 1,000 mg. is more convenient in the sense of taking less softgels, but 500 mg. allows for a lot more versatility. I thought about 750 mg. too, but I think that 500 mg. offers a lot more versatility and would allow people to make easy dosage adjustments based on how they tolerate it.

I think we can offset most of the digestive disturbances by using a 95%+ version, but there would still be the possibility of some stomach upset simply because one of the methods of action is via cAMP.

I was thinking that they only had it in two products, but I honestly don't pay a lot of attention to OL does. Nothing against them, I just focus on what the companies I'm involved with are doing, not what others are, most of the time.

I doubt you will be able to replicate any of the results from regular Rehmannaie that you would get from Anabolic Effect. We are very specific with the extracts that we use.

I use Forskolin XT which is Forslean 95%. I like that, but I can't take generic Coleus and can't take high doses of the lower % ones, but the Forslean 95% in Forskolin XT doesn't bother me.

There are going to be some people that are so sensitive to anything that increases cAMP that they're going to have some stomach issues on anything that effects cAMP, but most of it was related to what you're thinking.

When Sabinsa first released Forslean, it was in a 10% extract and later a 20%. You never ever saw any feedback about them bothering anyone's stomach. But then, as the generic material came to market, that's when the reports of stomach upset started.

With Forskolin XT, we use the Forslean 95%. I know people that mega dose that that have no issues with it that can't even take 1 capsule per day of a generic without it wrecking their stomach.

I think 500mg would be my preferred, but I am unsure how soon I'd even get around to trying since SNS has so many other cool things in the pipeline and therefore not sure if my opinion on that matters as much.

750mg gets everyone to the promised land in two doses; lots of guys dont eat three meals a day. anabolic minds has been very good to me lately. ive ordered incinderine, pepti-plex, and pump gel, with more exciting supplements on the way id never have otherwise heard about

Thanks. I'm thinking that this would likely be a Competitive Edge Labs product as I think it fits that lineup more.

At first, I was thinking 1,000 mg. just bc of it being more convenient, but now I'm leaning towards 500 mg. to make it easier to play around with the dosage for people in case it does bother their stomachs.

I thought about 750 mg. but the downside to that is that it doesn't allow for the 1,000 mg. dosage.

I hope that you'll enjoy Pepti-Plex and Pump Gel. Both are great products and the people stacking those two are really loving them.

I haven't used Pump Gel regularly yet. I tried it just to see how I would like it and the pumps are crazy with it. I've been tempted to add it into my stack that I've been running, but going to wait until I start with more cardio, which should be coming up soon.

Right now, I'm doing Anabolic Effect, Anabolic XT, Recomp20, Phosphatidic Acid XT, and Pepti-Plex.

I know of some people doing Forskolin XT at 2 caps (50 mg.) three times per day.

That dosage is not going to be for everyone as that much cAMP increase may bother some peoples stomach; nothing to do with the Forskolin itself, just the effect on cAMP at that dosage. But I know several people doing it and loving it.

The highest I went on my cut was 75 mg. but I was using it with Lean Edge, Thermo Scorch, LipoVantage, TTA-500, and GlucoVantage XT.
