Hey guys. About 2.5 weeks in to AMXT. My appetite has been poor. I haven't been hungry. Anything in this complex that would make that happen?
 
I'm not sure about this one. I didn't have these issues when I ran it. I'm sure john.patterson can help.
 
I had the same issue. Lasted maybe two weeks (second and third, IIRC) and then never noticed it again. Not sure what or why, or it could have just been a coincidence.
 
My appetite was insane as well. I just attributed it to a better anabolic environment. Your body is using food better. Your body is also trying to add lean muscularity. So you just need more to feed it

The issue is poor appetite. Not good appetite

Misread that....sorry....no clue then....I was almost insatiable some days....between sleep issues and lack of appetite, this may not be a good product for you
 
Nothing in AlphaMax XT will decrease appetite. Most users appetite stays the same or will increase a little. Personally, mine stays the same. A decrease in appetite can be caused from many different variables.

Do you notice anything else different? Are you sleeping well? Is Alphamax 'working'? Any stressor's?

Not sleeping well. Wake up between 4-5 every morning. Hard to get back to sleep. Stress levels are fine. But sleep sucks and no appetite. I'm taking both doses in the morning now seeing if it'll fix my sleeping issues.

The L-Dopa in Alphamax is not agreeing with you (and lots of people).
Chalk it up to up to experience and stop taking it so you can get back to feeling good.

Is that what's causing poor appetite as well? I still have 1.5 bottles left

Take it earlier in the day as opposed to before bed

You should be able to sell it easy enough. Lots of people (myself included) seem to enjoy it.
 
I know I loved it as well. I really think that your body just hates it....lol

. Maybe I'll sell and go with Anabeta Elite. No L-Dopa

I think I would, too. There is no reason to tolerate that many issues on a natural product

Would if I could bud...trying to save some money for the crazy black Friday/cyber Monday sales that are going to be coming....LOL
 
I don't belive the Alphamax XT would cause loss of appetite. Also, the mention on L-Dopa causing the negative sides is unlikely as well. L-Dopa sides typically only come on in doses above 500mg.

You can always take a week off and see what happens. What other supps are you taking, including preworkouts, intra, vitamins, etc.

I've used less than 500 and had sleep issues at times. His body simply frowns upon the l-dopa, which is ok. If most people like something and a couple don't, it doesn't mean there is a problem with the supplement. Just means there is an ingredient that doesn't agree with him

I agree, but with any supplement that has a hand full of ingredients, it is hard to single out one particular ingredient. That's what's difficult to accurately assess what ingredients work and don't with a lot of products

True...because LJ can energize people which can lead to sleep disturbances. I haven't heard of anything in it killing appetite, though
 
Yup, I was just stating it might not be L-Dopa. That way if everyone keeps telling him find something w/o L-Dopa, and it ends up being something else, he's back at square 1.

Anabeta Elite is a great alternative. I've never experienced lack of appetite symptoms from AlphaMax XT. Mine didn't change one way or the other. Maybe you can save it and try it again at a later date.
 
I'm going to keep going with it and see if these symptoms are just temporary. I want to at least finish 4 weeks

LJ?

LJ = Long Jack or Tongat. However, you indicated you are dosing early in day / many hours before bed. So I highly doubt that the nominal dose of LJ in Alphamax would have any effect. Without sleep, the changes you are seeking are not going to happen and you will move backwards and invite injury. Take a few days off it (changing nothing else) and see what happens. Do you have Anabeta and ARA on hand?

I am waiting on ARA in the mail and haven't ordered ABE yet. I fall asleep at midnight. Wake up at 4-5am every day. But usually do something for a couple hours and make up my sleep by going back to bed till about 10-11am. So I'm still getting my full 8 hours, just not all at once

Once sleep patterns get changed, they can take a few days to get back in order plus seasonal change (especially for us Canadians) does not help. All I can say is take a few days off it and see if your appetite comes back and if you sleep through the night / or can get to sleep easier after waking.

I'll try to take this week off and see what happens.

Sorry to hear that your sleep hasn't been good, and appetite hasn't been there either. I've never experienced either of these with Alphamax XT. Have you ever had issues with seasonal changes in the past? I know I always have a harder time being active and having an appetite when the days get shorter and colder.

I would try taking a few days off from Alphamax XT and see what happens. If you're able to sleep well and eat more, then you might be responding poorly to something in the profile. It's hard to pinpoint exactly what it would be though
