From what little pubmed abstracts I have seen, citric acid seems to be as good as acetic acid.

I must admit, my knowledge in this area is lacking -- so, I'd welcome any new insights in this area. For muscles, insulin has two main effects (1) glycogen synthesis and (2) anti-catabolism. The first effect occurs through cell volumization, by increasing sodium and potassium concentration in...

I have had opportunities to discuss with others at AvantLabs about muscle and insulin insensitivity. It is not a good thing. There is overwhelming evidence against it. Again, pubmed abstracts support my view.

I didn't like CLA. I took it for a while (6 months). It did seem to stabilize my body weight. However, when I got back to the bulking phase and I had difficulty gaining muscle weight. Eventually, my weight started moving upwards, but I was not gaining that much muscle ... My conclusion is...

Aaron: You are RIGHT about fat oxidation. But carnitine is not for fat-burning. Acetyl-l-carnitine is taken for different reasons: it is taken for relatively long-term "overall well being." (what is that, you say?) I believe that you can notice its positive effect after about 2-4...

I personally LOVE acetylated form of L-carnitine (that is, acetyl-l-carnitine). Check out http://www.mindandmuscle.net/avantfo....&t=2532

Blade, are you taking any bicarbonate (potassium or sodium) as well? Again, I will be grateful for any feedback.

I had a long long debate about vinegar in AvantLabs forum on the mechanism of action ... In any case, I'd be interested in hearing results from you, Blade. I might be mistaken, but nandi seems to be also taking alkalnizing agent (sodium bicarbonate or something similar)PRIOR to a workout ...

Too difficult to absorb poppers sublingually ... I end up swallowing dissolved solution of those poppers. I don't like them; certainly didn't grow on them.

Sorry about the late reply -- just saw your post. I took 200 mg x 3 / day. No problem with hair. I took a precaution and used nizoral shampoo (1 %). Don't know if it did any good. I would rub it in my hair, foam and wash other parts of my body (so my scalp would get as much exposure as...

lol, Ranier ... I was actually thinking the same thing.

I took 600 mg/day 5 weeks and was effective. I think it does take some time for the drug to kick in, even though forum posts on this have been mixed at best. Some find immediate strength increase, others take 4 weeks. The next time I take 1-AD (assuming it won't be banned by that time)...

I love ECA + YHCL. I think nothing works (within legal limits) better. In my opinion, YHCL does not contribute as much as ECA, but still it gives that little extra boost. I did read about someone who took it for 2-3 years and he says that ECA's effect is eventually and somehow overcome by the body.

carao ... It has been 3 weeks now. About a week into it, I "thought" I felt an improvement in cardio (easier breathing, slower heartrate, less fatigue) a couple of times. But since then, I have not seen much. I think it was pretty much placebo effect. Dosage -- I started with 2 tsp...

I have been taking it for little more than a week ... so far nothing.

The research showed that myostatin has to do with skeletal muscle but not smooth muscle. I don't remember why ... My batch of Myostat just arrived, I will be posting about my experience as a guinea pig. Currently, the only supplements I am taking are (1) carao and (2) Myostat and (3) protein...

BIZ: It is intriguing. I can understand how you might exceed your expected rep count at 240 by 2 or 3 on a good day ... but by 6? What makes this interesting is that you are an experienced lifter -- you'd know your limits and how much you'd be lifting at the end of 15's cycle. Also, I know that...

BIZ Any results?? How long has it been since you started taking it?

Biz, Your planned dosage and duration of the experiment? I know, according to Biotest, 1000 mg / day, for minimum of 60 days -- but these seemed to be pulled out of air. Perhaps, you can try to get the latest information (based on the University research) on effective dosage and duration. I...
