I've been using TD curcumin for a while now, gone through a whole lotta Helios/Curcuprime Gel. Favorite 'pain relief' products. Figured for 9.99 I'd give Iconic's a try haha.

Pretty hyped. I plan to do 2 caps 2x daily, along with 1 cap Alpha One and stick with my current 6 caps of Urolithin B. Nice 12 week run. (y)

On the Urolithin B did you start at 6 or taper up? Literally researching this now as I was thinking of starting it a 4 caps.
 
So this was the wife’s splurge she ordered for her protein stash. I did have to sample some…. Omg this is delicious 🤤

Haven’t bought a supplement in a longtime….Wanted to spice up training a bit.
I plan on stacking 1 scoop of the vaso with 1 scoop of the Karb with a couple caps of beet root opened and poured in….I plan on drinking half pre workout and half intra.

Open to suggestions if these two shouldn’t be stacked …thanx !

I don't see any harm in stacking them together.

Seems like a good way to make veins and muscles pop to me. Should help with energy also.

Almost ready to crack open bottle #2. 1mL/100mg works exactly as expected, same results as the other curcumin TD's. Will be curious to see what the eventual retail price looks like, it'll be tough to beat the value of XPG.
 
^ my new ‘stack’ did everything I want and more tonite training upper body with a focus on chest. No bubblegut (that’s a Hyde term, but relatable!) Felt strong on low incline db press, pain free in that tie-in area, you know the one! Looking forward to rebuilding this particular lift! Looked juicy and on enough to satisfy that craving for not being on anything.

Watermelon bff vaso and blue raz watermelon karbolyn….A little sweet but not bad…no acid reflux lol…More energy, and better feel than gummy bears etc. intra workout.

Karbolyn is waaaay better than gummy bears. It’s pulverized rice, corn & potatoes, and it works just like eating except you didn’t have time to digest all that. Feels good.

I have 3 tubs of Karbolyn. 1/2 scoop just as good as a full scoop

So I do Karbolyn mixed with my PreWo….. any use for intra? I eat literally 10 minutes after finishing my workout. Just wondering how people use carb powders. I know probably a dumb question! lol

New to this myself. It’s beneficial in all 3 scenarios…pre/intra/post.

For my use, I typically eat a good meal around 6-7pm…Train at 9:15. I drank a lil pre and the rest intra…Could feel it fueling my workout and holding me over til I eat once more later post workout.

Feeling less sore today than I would be without this product…(so far)

Yes. Still drink intra EAAs pre workouts usually don’t contain EAAs. So I’d def drink some EAAs while training. I do it always. As for Karbolyn it’s a carb. You can drink pre post or intra it don’t matter. It’s beneficial all 3 ways. It’s just carbs that will digest faster

Well, it really just depends on your carb needs. Many folks would see a boost with 25g certainly, but there are people also who even try to consume 100+ g carbs intra.

I only use it intra, because my training is generally 2 hours. Basically any food you can digest in time will work as well prior if you can time it right. Nothing wrong with drinking Karbolyn prior, of course, and that makes the most sense if your training is more like 60-75 minutes tops.

Days I train in the early morning, I eat a Rice Krispy treat & Nature’s Bakery fig bar 15-20 minutes before training (I’ve already consumed at least 32oz water prior). This is 67g carbs from rice, sugar, grain, fruit - it’s hyper palatable & digests fast. This frontloads my blood sugar. Then over the next 2 hours I drink 50g of Karbolyn to sustain my blood sugar & help rehydrate faster than just water with electrolytes alone.

Days I train later, I just have a real meal 1.5-2.5 hours before training instead of the bars.

Yeah this is what I like for my evening training.
 
Anyone tried the natural flavor of karbolyn?
I’m considering it next time, as I’ll stack with something flavored….Is it decent ?

Well yes I agree for sure. What I was getting at was , imo a 1/2 scoop is just as effective for me most the time as a full scoop. I really only use it on weekends when I lift cause it don’t fit into my diet plan during the week. So if I’m feeling great wanna go heavy then I’ll take full scoop. But if just wanna get a good session an extra boost not too worried hour weight and don’t want all the extra carbs and calories I do 1/2 scoop. Depends my mood to be honest

Thanks for clarifying what you do. Yeah I generally am in the basement from 4:30-5:30 so I’ll carryon with it in my pre.

That’s what I mix with my Preworkout….: it adds a slight addition to the flavor of my pre but it doesn’t bother me. I’ve been curious about the flavored Karbolyn. I’d wanna match it with my pre flavor. 🤷‍♂️

I think it works fine if you are mixing in something else flavored like Slimsaw mentioned, or you add a little Mio-type flavor shot of your choice.

Anyone ever see this? Reached out to shipper and they state Zip code is correct. My package was shipped on 10-28-24 and has bounced around Valrico Fl for the last week. I’ve gotten this message twice, last Tuesday and again today

Haven't seen that before. But being USPS, nothing surprises me. This must be a Flex-It order. Flex-It is legit and has good customer service. I don't think this would be the shippers fault. Just USPS being USPS.

Yes, it’s flex it. Yes I know they legit. I give them a minimum of $200 once a month. 99% on SNS supplements. I do not have my product not placing fault on the good folks at flex It. Merely stating facts.

Jeessh yea they fckin suck at times and out of anyones control.

since it isnt the first order and i assume previous orders were at the same zip code ..i would still reach out to flex it and advise them what is goin on and let them know your previous order #s at the same address.

but at the end yea all on usps and out of anyone else's control .. i have dealt with them quite a bit ( trading with people here )

The frustrating part is that it appears to be bouncing back and forth from one Valrico PO to another. This is just an assumption but based on same town but diff zip for listed postal “arrival” and “departure” updates.

But as the consumer, I have covered my end with the financial compensation, but still do not have the product I paid for in my hand. The vendors response was “will keep an eye on it” again they have their money. I do not have my product not placing fault on the good folks at flex It. Merely stating facts.

The only thing with Flex-It that bugs me, is any order over $200 and they require a signature. I understand why some people might prefer this, but it's annoying. They also don't offer anything else but USPS. At least with DPS, you have options for shipping.

But when Flex-It offers 20% off over $125, you can't really beat them.

is it driving distance from you ?
if so maybe can speak to a manager in charge and let them know the situation and just be like .. "when it gets in this place ill come pick it up"

but honestly those updates sometimes i feel like are fake , like i have had it in the past the package is at this location .. i went there and they were like its not there.

I have gotten this a few times over the years. It’s one of two things:

1) USPS is a joke and mis sorted your package so they scan it like this to cover their ass time wise in the system

Or

2) label got damaged in transit and it will either go back to sender or just become undeliverable.

Usually it’s option one because they h e scan options for the second option but USPS is….well it’s like joe Biden.

I agree 100 w the signature being a hassle. My postal carrier will tag our mailbox as “not home, pick up at post office” when I’ve been in the back yard mowing the lawn. I have an unobstructed sight line as I am a corner lot and can see the mail truck come around the corner. I hop off mower and get to box to find “not home”. She’s older and looks like she brushes her teeth w Jack Daniel’s. Never gets out of truck. And I don’t bring it up when I go to the post office to pick it up for fear of never getting my mail again
