Okay question, so could this product possibly, in any way shape or form cause water retention? A bit of context for my question. I began using this just over a week ago and was approaching the tail end of a pretty serious cut, not stage lean, but getting kind of close. Scale was still trending downward 1-2 lbs per week and closing in 180 flat. Since I started using this I have been between 187-190. It aint fat, it aint muscle, and it aint glycogen because my diet is consistent and militant. I am trying to pinpoint what is causing this. I am not mad if it is this product, I am just checking to see if anyone has ever even remotely had something close to this? I have used Epi before, but only orally, and never noticed this type of behavior from it. Thanks to anyone who read and or commented.
