Hey guys, long time lurker, only third time poster.
The reason I felt I had to post this is because of some very ....strange ingredients in a supp I just purchased. Or at least some strange nomenclatures.
There are also some very bold claims about the size gains it can give found on various places online. Just a simple google search will show you what I mean.
The name of the supp is Nubreed "Devour". I purchased it on an impulse black Friday buy because of its high (maybe bs) reviews and the fact that people seem to really like their BCAA and PWO. Its supposed to be a mass gaining sup with some BS about keeping you hungry all the time because all the nutrients in your food are being absorbed quickly (dubious...).
The first three ingredients are listed by extremely obscure nomenclatures, but think #1 is a plant falvonol Kaempferide. I'm no scientist but this examine article seems to say what I think are some positive things about glucose uptake, and fatty acid production. It also (i think) says something about mimicking estrogen in the way that soy does but to a much lower extent? Or am I wrong about that? Just google "kaempferide examine" and you'll find what I'm referring to, my post count is too low to post links.
The second compound is the one that really confuses me. They have it written as:
And the third ingredient, looks like a crazy obscure nomenclature for beta-sitosterol. The rest of the ingredients are pretty standard herbs marketed for GH/Test boosting properties.
So really, that second ingredient is whats bothering me. I want to know what it is before/if I start this bottle. Like I said the reports are so absurd in terms of size gains that I have to conclude one of the following:
1) Ingredient #2 or an unlisted ingredient in there is a PH
2) The reviews are all lies
3) The product is spiked with an appetite stimulant. The reason I say this is the only other product I've found with that Kaempferide (ingredient #1) stuff in it is B.M.F. Salvation from Chaotic Labz, a supp which is supposed to have very similar effects to Devour and was apparently found to be spiked with an appetite drug. I would link you but my post count is too low, but it should come up if you search on google.
So in summary, I'm pretty skeptical of the product, both of its ingredients and its effects. Any light you guys could shine on the matter would be much appreciated. Thanks.

The second compound is the one that really confuses me. They have it written as:
A google search for this nomenclaure turns up a few links to Devour and nothing more. So it's obviously a purposely obscured ingredient. This is the one I'm most curious about. The size gain claims are pretty absurd, leading to me believe that if the bottle is accurately labeled, this ingredient must be some kind of PH.
And the third ingredient, looks like a crazy obscure nomenclature for beta-sitosterol. The rest of the ingredients are pretty standard herbs marketed for GH/Test boosting properties.
