Major Issue w Jacked

I purchased two jars of jacked since it looked promising. The first day I used one scoop pre workout on an empty stomach to determine my reaction to it. Really felt nothing. Second day I took two scoops and felt the Beta-alanine tingle, was somewhat more focused but no real drive in the gym. But the one thing that I noticed was I had a hard time urinating after my workout. Didn’t think much about it. My gf wanted to have sex that night and for the life of me I could not get an erection. The third time I used the product I went up to 3 scoops to try to feel something. I did notice increased energy and focus and an average pump. But god almighty I could barley pee that night. It felt like someone had a clamp on my urinary tract. It was so bad I started getting scared. And forget about sex. I am 100% certain jacked is the culprit to my symptoms as the days I do not use the product I am fine. What is in this product that is causing this? I have used many pre workout products in the past such as superpump250, sizeon, no-xplode, wtf pumped, vasocharge, ect. None of these has caused this before. Obviously I am done using this product.

It sounds like prostrate issues. I had similar issues awhile back while using MDHT/M5AA in conjunction with ephedra based products. Did it feel like you were pissing glass when you did pee? Have you had prostate issues in the past?
 
No it was just very hard to pee. No pain or burning. I don't have prostrate issues, never had. I am fine when I don’t use the product.

doubt jacked is the problem... been using it for a wk now and no issues like that at all...
 
Everyone responds to a product differently. I recently got a sample of Sustain Alpha and immediately broke out in hives and rashes very severly when I used it (I would wake up during the night scratching so hard I would drw blood from the welts).

It's a shame but it does happen. If you are absolutely sure that it isn't anything else then move back to one that worked for you and didn't cause any side effects.

It wasn't very expensive and I'm sure a lot of people would take it off your hands at the current price and even pay your shipping costs.

I only paid shipping for my Alpha sample so no big waste there.

I drink around a gallon a day. I mixed it with 8 oz water and drink it about 30 min pre workout. I drink an amino acid mix during workouts w 16 oz water.

Any other drugs (Pharmaceutical) or supplements used at the time? Sorry for the badgering, but it is then easy to pinpoint the issue.
 
I think Dr. Lubenfinger needs to be paid a visit to...
There's nothing in Jacked that ''on paper'' could possibly cause this. You said you drink a gallon, so really there's only the Prostate issue. And unless you reached your fingers up there yourself, you cannot say for a fact that your Prostate is good to go.
 
Given that the effect are very similar to ephedra (at least in me), I think its possible that geranium could have prostate irritating effects as ephedra does on some people.
 
Thanks for the replies. I will try to answer all the questions. And no need to apologize Mullet not taken as badgering. The 24 oz of water would be above the gallon I drink during the day. I have been on synthroid for 3 years that is the only script I take. I have used gear on and off for years. But nothing since spring of 08. I have been training and following a bb lifestyle for over 25 yrs and know my body very well, I have not been using anything different since I started Jacked.
Iron I am over forty and get the prostrate check you are referring to on a yearly basis as well as blood work. I just had my physical in Oct. All is well. As I said I have no problems with urinating, erections, ect. until after I take Jacked for the day. The effects last for 3-5 hours depending on the dose. All is fine any other time. Not trying to knock the product. Just wondering what ingredient would cause this so I can avoid it in the future.
 
Most likely the Theophylline in JACKED was interacting with your levothyroxine, causing an increase in ADH. ADH is antidiuretic hormone, and [usually] responds to precipitous [rapid] decreases in blood volume [from excessive water consumption, or changes in the salinity of blood] to regulate blood solubility.

Just prevented you from peeing.
 
I ran into a similar problem with 3 scoops. Dialed it back to one scoop, still get a bit of stim effect and upped the water quite a bit to counter the difficult urination (which isn't nearly as bad on one scoop). I'm way reactive to stims so one scoop is actually fine for me.
 
geranium is a stimulant and if its anything like its chemical cousins it might bind to alpha receptors responsible for contracting smooth muscle (sphinctor muscle below your bladder, thus making urination more difficult than usual) and constricting blood vessels (increase in blood pressure)...
 
running two scoops here...haven't experienced any of the problems mentioned, however i am drinking almost 2 gallons of water a day. its definitely not effecting libido either

Nice find. Thanks for the info.
 
So you have problems with erections and urinating? And also, have you ever used any products with Geranium in them prior to this?

No I DO NOT have problems with erections or urinating. It only happened when I took Jacked. I thought I made this clear in my previous posts. I was commenting on your post that my thyroid medicine might be reacting with the theophylline in Jacked. Thus causing my symptoms.

No, no, that is what I meant endless. Did you have issues with erections while using JACKED?
 
i had the same problem. it freaked me out so bad i went to a urologist. psa and exam were fine, so your not alone in this problem
 
I never got that from Jacked, but I respond amazing to it. I only need 1 or 2 scoops to get amazing workouts from it and I also tried it 45min pre sex and did not effect me in a negative way, if anything I had more energy :P lol
 
Almost wish I didn't read this thread.

Just ordered Jack3d after reading endless positive reviews. But now im going to be standing in front of the urinal for hours freaking out. Even if it doesn't happen to me, just because im thinking about it =/

But in all seriousness sorry to hear about the issues, and I really hope this product works for me.
 
stop taking it then its a very solid product too get u in the zone b4 working out. its not going to give u super human strength or anything like that. just a very good pre workout. Go back to something else u were previously taking.
 
i have the same issuses... Im healthy, drink a lot of water.. And at 2-1/2 to 3 scoops.. i have the same problem, libido.. and urination. I just wait it out.. I do still feel mildly stimmed up after a few hours of working out. So, like it was said by Mullet. Its most likely the geranium.
