CEL Alpha One - Natural Anabolic Recomposition Agent + Incredible Pumps

Got me some of this and giving it a go...

One thing of note, not sure if already mentioned, but burps on this stuff has a sort of oregano tinge to them.

Yes, I'm Italian.... No, didn't eat any pasta with oregano lately haha

Omg the pumps on this are stupid. I got a sick pump doing sets of 5, after that it was just game over.

Not flexing even a little here. Tried to get cute and blur out tons of stuff bc this mirror is nasty, didn’t realize how much the dogs have been rubbing their noses on it. 😅

That vascularity is intense, how long have you been on Alpha One now? I'm stoked to give it a try.
 
Enjoying this very much so far, Steve. Less than week on, so too early for recomp changes, but definite all day muscle fullness and great pumps. Thinking I may run all 6 bottles in a row. Absolutely no GI issues for me (and I have a hard time tolerating forskolin even in 95% form).
 
So been doing 3/day. 2 pre workout in the AM and 1 PM. No stomach discomfort at all. Pumps have been good, but not to the point that it's too much. I am bumping this up to 4/day. 2AM/2PM.

I mean zero disrespect with this next statement.

I don’t understand why the community is so quick to jump to double dosing. The product was announced about 2 1/2 weeks ago on Sept 2nd. Unless its soomeone that had access before release, no one has had it in hand for over two weeks, yet several people have already jumped to three a day, and now people are bumping it to four a day. Even TRT doesnt work that quick. Feel like people are jumping the gun to soon. Let the product do its work. If after a month, you’re not feeling anything, then bump it up

I see your point at what you're saying, but in his case, I think that you may have misunderstood him.

He wasn't saying that it didn't work at the suggested use. I think he was addressing other people that had worried if there would be stomach issues like the other lower % product that came out in the past, and he was reporting on no stomach issues with his dosage to assure them and give feedback.

I do agree that people don't have to exceed the labeled dose as this works great for people at 2 softgels, even at 1 softgel per day. But in his case, he has talked openly that he likes to experiment with things at higher doses than the suggested use is - he's done that on quite a few things, and in a couple cases been able to provide some really interesting and cool feedback on things.

I always give the disclaimer that I never tell anyone to exceed the suggested dose, but it has been cool to hear his feedback on a few things like his Amentoflavone mega dosing.

I don't think this is him saying he wasn't pleased with the results at the regular dosing, just him being him and wanting to try mega dosing to see how he likes it.

This is very good to hear, as forsoklin is always hard for me as well. Might actually give this a go now that enough reports have come in.

I've been experiencing great pumps and nice muscle fullness. No stomach discomfort. Since this is a natural product that I am seeing positive results, I don't mind spending the extra money to see what 4 caps might do.

I want to first say I’m not necessarily talking about A1 and many natural anabolics probably work more on a diminishing returns or leveling/plateauing manner as dose increases, but I’ve often wondered why people haven’t talked/thought about potential inverted U relationships with dosages in certain things. Thinking maybe more like nootropics, stims, adaptogens, etc. since many of these definitely have a sweet spot where too much can be sometimes even worse than not enough.

Everyone just crams max dose everywhere and it does turn me off from some products, but I guess people are dosing even above that so I can kind of see why companies might.

Sorry didn’t mean to get sidetracked.

FWIW pumps at 1 pre are definitely elevated for me this week and weight has dipped a little. I’ll probably try to hold off more feedback though until I finish this month.

I don't think that would be the case with Alpha One at all, but I feel the same way about it with some things, especially nootropics.

That's a pet peeve of mine with nootropics - the trend of some brands not really formulating, just throwing together high doses of things for window dressing - when some of the things shouldn't be taken together to begin with and especially not at the dosages that some are combining them at.
 
I'm gonna do one a day for 2 months on top of my 5th and 6th bottles of prime, dropping that to 6 a day instead of 8.

Once you start to feel the endurance benefits that some report with the type of training you do, I'd be surprised if you don't increase it to 2 a day :)

so that's twice I think I saw you mention preWO. do you feel timing of dose is pretty important? I'm only on day 2 and was going to add this to my "brush my teeth, pop a supplement" ritual, but I can hold off till later in the day if you feel it's more effective say 30-60minutes preWO

If you're going to do 2 per day, I would do 1 in the morning and the 2nd one 30 mins to an hour before you train. I think that serves 2 purposes - to get any additional benefit if there is one from a pre-training dose and to also space the dosage out to keep it in your system bc the way it works, its going to help with body-composition whether training or not, so I like the idea of spacing the dosing out.

OK that makes sense. my normal mon-fri schedule is like 4:30-5am wakeup and morning supplement dose, and about 11am training session if I go at lunch, or 3-4pm in the afternoons. so I would have on average 5hrs between doses.

weekend sessions are usually 9 or 10am so everything is fresh in the system anyways.
 
Is it advised to take this alongside or after a meal? Says it’s insoluble in water so I just want to make sure. Thanks.

You can take it with a meal or on an empty stomach. There is a lot of feedback of people taking it both ways.

There's nothing on the product that says anything about it being insoluble with water. If you're referring to something about the ingredient properties itself, that may be just saying that if you drop the pure concentrated form in water that it may not mix - but you wouldn't be doing that to begin with so it wouldn't be applicable. That wouldn't have anything to do with taking it in a softgel form.

Hi, yes, thanks for the clarification. I was referring to the ingredient properties. So would this apply to your Turkesterone and Ecdysterone as well? Can be taken either on empty stomach or with food?

Most companies I’ve seen always say to take with a meal even if it has a cyclodextrin complex to improve absorption or bioavailability.

Yes, they could be taken either way. When I’ve used them, I took them on an empty stomach most of the time. I wasn’t specifically trying to, that’s just the way the timing worked out based on how I was timing them. Which was first thing in morning and then about 30 minutes before working out at night.
 
Resolve10 said:
I workout in the morning so I dose my first round of most things before it.

I also think cAMP boosting ingredients are awesome in that pre training window so I’m definitely aiming for a dose pre every time I can.

after only a few days in the system, my mind was blown by this weekends lifting sessions. Might be my new favorite thing.

the vascularity is insane, even 8 hours after my workout the arms and shoulder showing full vascularity like when I was sub 10%.

How many caps did you take and when? Thanks for the feedback
 
I've been on less than 2 weeks and started at 2 caps per day. The pumps are off the chart. This is definitely one of those supplements that will be missed if ever stopped taking.

Sounds like a low dose anavar
Click to expand...
No, definitely not remotely like that. No CNS uptick, no shin pumping, no appetite curbing, no “feel” or energy.

A1 was like being on Lean Edge and nitrates at the same time. Not in the way Lean Edge can curb appetite, but how I was overall eating a bit more but losing fat if anything. And more pumped all the time, like staying on Betaine Nitrate, Potassium Nitrate, etc.
 
all I know is how I feel and the other day doing very reasonably light LISS I was getting a pump doing 15 minutes of light cycling and 20 minutes of incline treadmill. I raced BMX, I don't recall getting that kind of pump on a bike before lol.

overnight vascularity increase. overnight improvement in bicep bulge. and CRAZY chest pump on my first working set of bench press yesterday. <- that's still one 1 dose per day mind you.

What does the rest of your stack look like that you’re taking right now? Curious of the whole layout. Sounds like it’s treating you great!

As of this week finished off Gear Cream (stacked with occasional epiandrolean preWO) so morning ritual pretty much is:

  1. M Test
  2. SNS Pine Pollen
  3. Anabolic XT
  4. Alpha One
  5. SNS Tribulus
  6. XPG Alpha Gel, Supress-C
  7. And playing with XPG Lipoderm/Napalm
Pump Addict preWO during the week, All Out Ultra on the weekends.
 
Been on this for like 2 and a half days. It's legit. Pumps are crazy. Sex drive. I got off PRIME and some other supplements a week before this came just to be sure. I'm sore as fek after lifting the other day too.
 
@Dustin07 posted this feedback in his log thread. I asked him to make sure it was okay for me to post it into this thread for people looking for more feedback on Alpha One.

His post:

Since dropping gear cream, I'd say this natty stack is 90% of the way there mentally, but physically Alpha One is way stronger. woke up at 5am drove an hour to golf in 30F with windchill freezing temps, drove an hour back to the gym after. knocked out 90minutes of work in 60min, I had to stop myself because I wanted to keep going. then got on the treadmill for another 20 minutes. My gym energy is crazy high. the only difference is the type of aggression is more mellow, less rage.

M-Test is working, hitting hard. I keep noticing my voice gets deeper on it.
Alpha One is a HARD hitting awesome physical reaction in the gym. my work capacity is up, and the pumps do not disappear like they normally would at depletion.
 
Honestly I'm shocked by both the M Test and Alpha One.
I went into both not really expecting anything and I'm having a good time !
 
Atlas1970 said:
Would there be any conflict in using Alpha One with X Gels?
Click to expand...

No there wouldn't be. They would be great stack. I think the pumps would be crazy.
 
I had a really shitty week at work this week and expected todays session to be subpar. I only went in to get my frequency and practice in and not over do myself. I popped my second Alpha One about 30minutes prior to getting to the gym.

After my basic bench session, something clicked and the fire came alive. I ended up doing about double the accessory work I had meant to and even threw in (gasp) ab work...ha.

My mind is really blown by Alpha One. I've been reasearching it and beyond the potential anabolic effects, I read it might also fight tumors and bacterial infections?


after only 2 weeks it feels like one of the coolest natty supps I've played with. vascularity is still increasing, pumps are great whether i'm carb loaded or not. wierd.

I’m going to give it a run. I think a phosphatidic acid / alpha one stack would be quite nice
 
Resolve10 said:
Super random but the pills are a little “sticky” so make sure you check the bottom of your bottles! My last 10 or so kind of stick to the bottom.

This isn’t unusual for softgels like this but just an fyi so you don’t miss any pills.
Click to expand...
If it becomes an issue, you could probably put the bottle in the refrigerator for a little bit and they won't stick again. At least, that's what I've done with other softgels in the past that got too stuck.

yup should get sticky .. just like ara oil, fish oils that kind of stickyness .. yeah im same doesnt bother me

@BigGame84 thats a neat idea, havent tried that will give refrigerator a shot idea if comes down to it.
 
I don't know of any reason that Alpha One couldn't be refrigerated, but it wouldn't need to be.

Any softgels can stick together. Should be good just to tap the bottom of the bottle or shake it up.

Curious about adding in Foskolin XT with A1, I'm sure would be a great stack but also I imagine one's body has a ceiling as to how far cAMP could/would be increased and if A1 alone has already hit that ceiling
 
Just ordered some Alpha one and Epi-Plex gonna stack this with Ecdy-Plex while on a cut and see how it plays out. I have been wanting to try Alpha one since the announcement and the research articles I have read. Also love a good pump!

Should these be taken pre workout or does it matter?

Several people are stacking Forskolin XT and Alpha One and enjoying it, and at least one did when some people were testing it out early. Mecha made a post in this thread about it and he really liked it together.
