OK folks, this was my first day using Dialene 4, and I am leaving for vacation so I won't be reporting back until next week, but I wanted to share some first impressions.
Upon opening the container, the stuff smells like Ergopharm Skulpt, that funky reddish-brown colored topical spray. And the substance in the caps looks similar. When I read the label, my guess was it must be the cayenne pepper. Wait a minute...cayenne? In my stomach? Horrible memories of a GNC "heart health" formula that was loaded with cayenne come to mind, hours in agony with the worst stomach aches imaginable, which nothing could stop, not water, yogurt, or cold protein shakes. I digress...my first thought was wow, I guess I missed reading that in the product description before I bought it!
A look at the label profile though really had my hopes up...Lean Green is in there, along with a bunch of B vitamins, tyrosine, and other things that make me realize this isn't just a thermogenic, but more like an overall energy supplement for mind and body.
A full dose is 3 caps, which I figured I had better start out doing less in order to gauge my tolerance. I am generally very tolerant of stims and it takes lots to affect me, but I wanted to be careful because of the cayenne.
I took two caps on an empty stomach, followed by a chocolate chip cookie in order to buffer the cayenne in case it wanted to wreak havoc on my insides. A half hour later I had a moderate snack of about a quarter pound of grilled chicked tenders and half a cup of couscous.
The effects came on slowly, and four hours later I was still riding out the feeling. I get a clean sort of energy, again both mental acuity and physical energy are here. No jitters at all, just a very pleasant sort of alertness and drive. That's a good way to put it...drive. I was aware I had energy but wasn't stimulated to the point of being restless. A great mental and physical experience. The only other supp that has made me feel like this is X-Force.
Around the five-and-a-half hour mark, I seemed to be coming down, though nice and gently unlike some supps. So I planned a meal in half an hour and took two more caps, again sticking relatively close to the recommended way to dose.
I had the pleasure of experiencing more of the same effects, though the second dose didn't seem to be piggybacking on the first dose. What I mean is, the effects were not magnified due to me already having the supplement in my body, the effects seemed to be similar to the first time around. Which I have no problem with at all.
Took about another six hours to come down from the second dose, again a very nice experience, not a "crash" at all.
I experienced no stomach issues, no niacin flush, nothing unpleasant at all.
I am looking forward to more Dialene trials during my vacation...stay tuned!!!
