  1. Leucine in-between meal may help to extend MPS

    Isn't that a really big HED dose of leucine? I'm not up-to-snuff on the calculations involved, but 1000 mg/kg in a rat (270mg for a 270g rat) should be, what, around 167mg/kg HED? That'd be like ~13g of leucine for me at a mere 170lbs. Not that we have data on lower doses to compare, of course...
  2. Ergonine

    What are you guys thinking on timing considerations with E9? I know that most of the goodies are timing-independent saturation supps, but I'm curious about the HICA and LCLT interacting with feeding state. I have a sneaking suspicion that there may be some thoughts around there with glycerol...
  3. Ergonine

    I'm really looking forward to making some E9 popsicles when the weather warms up a bit. I have a feeling that both of the flavors will work really nicely in that form. Can't wait to get my hands on my tubs; as usual, I'm tortured by being painfully far from Florida!
  4. Ergonine

    E9 just seemed right to me, especially after the write-up. I didn't even realize the significance of the "nine" until then.
  5. Ergonine

    Glycerol's got a nice, wide therapeutic range. Here's one suppversity article discussing research done on doses of 10-12g: Invalid Link Removed I'm sure the individual doses in HV and E9 are quite effective on their own, but I'm also pretty confident that glycerol's an ingredient that doubling...
  6. Ergonine

    At this price point, I think I would have been sold just on the creatine, betaine, and HICA, especially with nice flavoring (I'm a sucker for nice flavored drinks). LCLT with choline and glycerol are great and well-proven additions that just make it sweeter; the much more exploratory inclusions...
  7. Ergonine

    The feedback on it so far definitely made me excited. On the High Volume flavors, I don't mind Blue Frost at all but vastly prefer the Paradise Cooler, which is just plain delicious for me. I'm guessing the comparison will be similar here, but we'll see! 8/2 split between the two orders :D
  8. Ergonine

    I'm skeptical on the ferulic acid given that the 30mg dose appears, at least superficially, to be achievable from a teaspoon of flax seed or a couple cups of coffee. That said, I bought 10 tubs. Stellar price just for the daily 'staple' supps (may throw some bulk BA in there) and Nanaberry...
  9. Current Pre-workout

    I've been enjoying Max Out from iForce. Solid hit of stims along with nitrates and some rhodiola, and it doesn't muddle the formula with a bunch of saturation supplements that I can take whenever. Value has been pretty nice, too, consistently finding it on sales for <= $0.80/serving. When I'm...
  10. The boys let me down

    It's unlikely that supplements are going to make a huge difference if you have a disordered endogenous production, though they may not hurt and may help with some of the symptoms like the mood. Did the docs test you early in the morning? That seems to be one of the most common mistakes that...
  11. Suggested dose of Y in ECY stack

    Yes, you'll definitely want to opt for yohimbine, rauwolscine, or another controlled derivative versus full-spectrum yohimbe alkaloids; there's a lot of unstudied stuff in the full plant that seems to do more to make you feel like crap (nervous and jittery) than help with fat loss. Yohimbine is...
  12. The Arachidonic Acid Help Guide

    They're certainly not going to be synergistic, but the exercised-induced norepinephrine is going to mitigate the adipose shuttling you'd normally worry about with carbs. ArA's rather preferential to muscle tissue anyhow. So no, not negated at all. Not optimized, but not severely affected.
  13. Alan Aragon Discuss's BCAA's

    Yeah, I can definitely see that. I actually read novels (with large font on a tablet) and listen to music during my (L/M)ISS and it's become a pretty well-ingrained stress relief habit for me at this point. With no book (let alone no music), the time really crawls. Needless to say, no reading...
  14. Alan Aragon Discuss's BCAA's

    On the topic of fasted cardio, given that we're on a supplements forum, can we at least look at alpha adrenergic antagonists for a second before we dismiss the usefulness of fasted activity for fat loss? I'm pretty sure the evidence on yohimbine is pretty damn compelling, and it's not going to...
  15. Chlorophytum Borivilianum and Velvet Bean Increases GH

    Growth hormone levels during sleep: Invalid Link Removed -- sleep onset initiates somatotropin pulses in the 13-72 ng/mL range that last a few hours. If we were just looking at an AUC argument, 2 hours of 50 ng/mL (a normal, unaugmented sleep-related GH pulse) would drastically overshadow a...
  16. Chlorophytum Borivilianum and Velvet Bean Increases GH

    The significance of this is highly dubious to me. Given how incredibly pulsatile GH release is, it's not shocking that anything that induces a pulse, however minor, will produce dramatic comparative results. Going from 0.18 ng/mL to 1.78 ng/mL is like going from a droplet to a trickle. For...
  17. Fat Burners or Thermogenics for a FEMALE

    This is one of those things where the "for females" label is almost exclusively a marketing gimmick. Fat burners are mainly about appetite suppression, energy, and mood with bonus points for benefits to fat metabolism, and all of those things are going to be fairly invariant of sex. The EC...
  18. Help with Forskolin/Norco Timing!

    Not to mention the other stuff! I'm definitely stim-tolerant but a couple caps of Norcodrene would screw up any attempt at my sleep for a few hours for sure. Besides, one of the big benefits of the yohimbine derivations is the effect on fat utilization in response to activity; sleeping through...
  19. PES Select mystery flavor reviews

    Immensely jealous while waiting for my glacial 1/13 FedEx Blondie delivery. Jealous and hungry.
  20. Cycling of Amentoflavone?

    Creatine is fairly unique in that it's singularly well-researched among sports nutrition supplements. There's actually adequate study data to support the assertion that long-term supplementation doesn't appear to pose any hazards. Nearly everything else, amentoflavone certainly included...
