Just got a knock at the door..guess who it was? The god damn UPS lady, bearing gifts!! I'm stoked got my Peach Tea Lit-Up AND my HGHpro care package from AI..beautiful day..
I'm taking a few days off weights before I start my hghpro log (or at least that's the plan..we'll see if I can hold out) but I'm gonna try out my new jug of lit up tomorrow and put it to the test against some extreme cardio..can't wait!!

I like the confidence in that label it more than likely means something about their products!
I'm letting one of my friends try some of it today before we go to the gym, I'll get a review out of him! *He doesn't lift weights a lot so it should have a pronounced effect*

well finally tried the infamous peach tea.. Tastes GOOD! seriously i could just sip on the stuff and chill..then get lit up haha.
1st i wanna say this stuff mixes extremely well. i mixed it in cold water from my fridge and this stuff had no problems dissolving pretty much instantly, no gritty crap left at the bottom..more than i can say for most other products out there.
didnt hit the weights yet but i can tell its gonna give me that extra driving force.. i hit 45 mins of cardio this morning (which i havent done in months..45 mins might be my record lol) it really kept me motivated to keep going.. so this stuff is off to a good start.. im going to post a full review after i use it a little longer and hit the weight room.
thanks APNUT!!

Still have to get my friend IN the gym! But i had some for my workout yesterday (Legs) this is how it went..
Taste: Wow i'll have to admit i'm not used to a Pre-workout tasting relatively good but this stuff is on a different level! Great refreshing peach flavor with a hint of tea (i could barely taste the tea no biggie though) I'm actually thinking of taking 1 scoop Pre-workout and another Intra workout! 9/10
Energy: Got a great amount of energy, slight beta alanine tingles. Helped me hit some really good PR's on a bunch of exercises. This was a 30 set/2.5 hour leg workout so the fact i had energy sustained through the entire workout is a huge plus! No crash either i was still energetic Post workout. 10/10
Hunger: This detail is important because i didn't realize it till now but i usually lose my appetite after taking a pre-workout but Lit-Up surprised me once again, Nearing the end of my workout i seriously found myself only thinking about food (which made me pick up my pace a little more). In the aspect that was claimed it won't kill hunger i'd 100% agree. 10/10
As for the DAA/Test-Boosting properties i can't say because this was only 1 dose!
Overall this is definitely a top notch pre-workout that i'll be picking up in my future. 9.5/10

I've heard of people using DAA up to 12 weeks..idunno. I think 8 is perfectly fine but I wouldn't go past that..just my 2 cents

OK, now that I've gotten 3 solid workouts under my belt w/ the new Peach Tree Lit Up, I can honestly say this stuff is awesome!! The BA kicks in, like in about 5 minutes!! The energy comes on nice & smooth & stays that way throughout my workouts. No dirty, jittery energy, just a nice clean rush that puts me in a great mood & focused for a great workout!!
The taste, at first, I wasn't too impressed. The next two days, I've grown to really like it! Might mix in a little lemonade in there tomorrow. I do like the fact that it's not an overwhelming flavor, just nice & subtle.. It mixes super easy. I just put the two scoops in my cup of about 10oz of water & swirl it around. I used a spoon this morning just to speed things up a little.
The workouts on this have been awesome! I mix in 3g of Di-Creatine Malate for a little extra oomph in the gym, but other than that, this stuff rocks! I love the fact that it's got the DAA in it.
I will follow the directions & buy more.. :lol:

you're not kidding about the BA kicking in fast. I took it, got dressed and walked upstairs to the gym and within a couple minutes I was feeling it.
I also use about 15-20oz of water with some ice and it tastes amazing. today i probably used 6 oz (because i couldn't find the ****in water fountain in this new gym and the sink only has hot water -.- ) and it was SUPER concentrated haha, but i was impressed that 2 scoops mixed fine in even 6 ounces of water!!!

I think im a bit too adapted to lit-up but none the less the peach is pretty tasty and doesn't have the dye issue the other one does. It's been my go to for a while, this is my third tub.

It takes 5-7 days for DAA to start its true effects depending on the person. I see no issue with going 12 weeks but once again to each their own.
that was the only negative I could find with the first time I ran through Lit Up and a question I was asking this time around. Thanks for mentioning that.

12 weeks would be HARSH. Im a bit attenuated to the lit-up so, although it still helps with my lifts, when it comes to boxing I feel like a zombie and cant hit my second gear.

This is something I saved from Dirk about DAA.
Couple quick reads on how the Lit-Up formula negates any type of potential side effects from D-Aspartic Acid:
Invalid Link Removed
Invalid Link Removed
Invalid Link Removed
This is why some people get depressed or anxious on regular DAA products- DAA activates the NMDA receptor, and NMDA activation, while ok in itself, is not good in excess. When homocysteine begins to build up (it is a by-product in the SAM-e cycle), it can actually cause additional excess activation in the NMDA receptor. This can lead to a lot of the sides you are hearing about from DAA, such as anxiety, depression, and night sweats. However, homocysteine has two routes of disposal- and this is the beauty of the formulation:
1. It can accumulate and be disposed of in the urine
2. It can be transformed (re-methylated) into methionine by folic acid, where it can re-enter the SAM-e cycle and be used again.
As you can see in the articles, Folate, TMG, and B-12, are all substrates that help to increase step 2- and this is why you will never see any DAA-related sides from Lit-Up- the product contains agents that re-methylate homocysteine, thus preventing any type of build-up in the tissues and keeping it from overloading the NMDA receptor....
Thanks for the feedback.
Just so you know, this only has 1.5 g of BA per 2 scoops.

Ehh, seems there is an error when submitting a review on your website. I tried to do it, but it doesn't appear. Maybe it is moderated for spam or something. Either way, here is what I said:
The following is a copy of my review of the cherry citrus flavor, I will copy that since the ingredients (besides flavor are the same):
So Lit-Up has been pretty hyped up lately, so I decided I want to know what it is all about. It did appeal to me in two ways. I personally am not a fan of 1,3 dimethylamylamine, I feel positively stimmed, but everything else about it makes me feel like ****, so I was happy that Lit up decided to go for a cleaner stim feeling. I also have had positive experience with DAA before (Given my company affiliation, this is obvious). I think DAA is one of the best recent discoveries for OTC supplementation, so I obviously have no issue with it being a part of Lit-Up.
Flavor
Easily one of the best flavors I have ever hard in a PrWO. Citrus Cherry is what they are calling this flavor, but it has a very fruit punch vibe to me. Very smooth, and no presence of a "sandy" flavor, if you know what I mean with other PrWo. I recently stated a positive flavor from another PreWO, but this is by far the best flavor in this category (stimulant PreWO).
Easy 10/10
Stim
As some of you know I have been doing strict keto during the week, so energy has been an issue for me recently. Using a stim preworkout, although certainly not always my first choice, has been completely necessary. Now I will say that I don't find the stim to be the strongest I have had from a PrWO, but I will say it has been the cleanest feeling stim effect (primarily due to using caffeine as the stimulant source), with a very limited crash. So it is a balance that I most certainly welcome.
Stim 9/10
Notes
Previous to using Lit-Up, my "go to" stim preworkout was ASGT, which I have claimed in many threads to be the best stimmed preworkout I haved used. It easily is pushed aside by me now with Lit up being my top choice in this category. I am only a week in, so I feel the effect should be getting better as the DAA dosages continue.
I have started to add to my dose (which is 2 scoops). I added GPLC, Arginocarn, and an extra scoop of beta alanine.
You guys have done very well with this product AppNut. I certainly find it to be the the best stim pre workout on the market right now.
My only complaint:
This coloring of this stuff may be a bit of a turnoff for some, it is very very red, kinda unnatural looking. This wouldnt be a huge deal other than if the red touches any part of your hand, it can leave red stains, and even your mouth can have abit of a red hue. For this reason I have been using a bit more water than necessary.
With that said, my number one complaint of the previous flavor was the coloring, which seemed to stain a bit of everything. Obviously, the color changed has removed the use of the red dye, which was a welcomed change.
As for the flavor, I listed the previous flavor as the best preworkout taste I have had previously, but that isn't true anymore. They actually did a step above with the peach. It isn't super sweet, but that is what I like about. Has a bit of a true tea flavor to hit, with just enough of a peach touch to keep it flavorful. Mixes well with water, and goes down easily. Just like my previous tubs of Lit up, I actually look forward to drinking it on workout days.
The balance of the DAA will also be of benefit to me right now as I am on a minimally suppressive cycle (AndroHard), and it should be able to provide a bit of hormonal support.
Thanks for letting me try out this product, APPNUT, you have another winner on your hands.

I asked for the cherry citrus one what was the amount of DAA, as due to scoop size and breakdown of ingredients it was impossible that the dosage was at the level that showed significance in the study (3.12g). App Nut informed me that 2 scoops would provide about 3g, which is considered a full dose.

Hey Tiny, does testopro require a pct? I've not researched that product at all. If so The DAA in lit-up will be excellent support for it. Good call
