Datsthat 1st log: Optimum Alpha (-)-Epicatechin

Day 29 / Oct 16th

Day 29 / Oct 16th

1. Optimum Alpha (-)-Epicatechin: took 2 caps 1 hr prior to workout
2. Staples: Throughout both days
3. Antaeus Labs Achilles (Achilles) : 2 caps w/ breakfast + 2 caps w/ dinner
4. New HyperMax XT: 2 scoops prior to workout

Workout: Pull

Comments: Worked out at planet fitness. 1st time that my workout got cut short because of back pump. I used to get debilitating shin pumps many may years ago from muscletech creatine. Strange that particular brand creatine is the only brand that causes that. I managed to achieve a PR before back was too pumped. Since planet fitness is 1.5 miles away, I decided to run there with the intentions that my 2nd wind aka (-)-Epicatechin wind would kick in at around the start of my workout....either it worked or I am getting stronger because warm up sets felt so light. Even though I ran there, worked out and then ran back, I still felt like I could have ran back to gym and worked out some more. I have few more workouts and final review sometimes next week.

Sorry, what I meant to say is review got delayed....it is coming. I want to spend some time on it because I feel it deserves it.

Thank you, my son is on road to recovery.
 
Final Review: Optimum Alpha (-)-Epicatechin

Final Review

Dosage: 10/10. Super easy to take 2 pills 30 mins prior to workout.

Effectiveness: 9/10. I can definitely distinguish difference between prior to usage and once it kicked in. For me, it took about 1 week to kick in, but I did feel slight endurance after 1st dose. After it kicked in, I felt increased strength, pumps, muscle fullness and endurance all day long. I was able to measure this by the numerous PRs and ability to do cardio much easier. Running 2 miles was nothing. I noticed that roughly ½ thru my workouts I would get increased endurance and strength that seemed like it came out of nowhere, similar to 2nd wind. One day I ran about 1.5 miles to gym and then worked out which allowed 2nd wind to start at the beginning of workout. I was bulking during the month that I was on Optimum Alpha (-)-Epicatechin. I started at 151lbs and ended at 156lbs but look the same. This lets me know that Optimum Alpha (-)-Epicatechin kept me lean because out of the 5lbs increase, I would assume say that ½ is muscle and ½ is fat and water.

Value: 7/10. I believe the only place you can buy this is from Amazon. Price as of 10/21/15 is $51.99 for 60 caps. 1 month supply. The reason why I gave 7 out of 10 is because it is more expensive than other (-)-Epicatechin products.

Overall 8/10. I would recommend this to others but I would also let them know that it is on the expensive side. Would I buy this? Yes, only because of the success I had on it. I’ve tried Olympus Labs EP1C Unleashed Caps, but it made me vomit on an empty stomach. I did finish bottle but only took 1 cap at a time so don’t think I got full effect. I plan on using Optimum Alpha (-)-Epicatechin during my next PCT because I have confirmed that it works as label describes. I would have rated 10/10 if the price was around $40 - $45.


Thank you Optimum Alpha & AlphaCommandr for opportunity to log this product.


EDIT: I am changing my overall rating from 8/10 to 10/10 due to recent price decrease.
