so awsome August 22, 2008 Peter T. Barrett (oc, usa) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
i picked this stuff up looking for something different, ive already tried thermogenic stuff and cortisol blockers and cutting pro-hormones but none of them rly felt like they were giving me the edge i needed to break through cutting plateaus. What this stuff is, is sort of ambiguous, all I know is when I take it all I can think about is exercising and trying to reach my goal, theres definetly some ingredients that help u mentally, it couldnt be a placebo because I didnt know what this stuff was even supposed to do. Also both me and my friend noticed that you can barely feel yourself getting tired and are pretty amped. On the whole I think all the effects are comparable to amphetimines. Fat loss is going great at a steady 2 or 3 pounds a week
blows ephedra away March 2, 2008 Gregory Moss (St.John's , Canada) 5 out of 6 found this review helpful
I'm a confessed ephedra junkie . On bench day I sometimes took 36mgs at a time with caffeine and Chromium, focused, straight forward, fast and intense. DREN does that for me and more,Supersetting, drop sets, slow burn, forced reps, forced negatives, whatever intense technique you want to use, you can use it. I was so vascular, I saw veins that I didn't know existed, People watched, and I laughed and enjoyed, enjoyed being a freak. Cardio, my legs had a brain of it's own on the treadmill, my feet going to the beat of vicarious by Tool. I didn't want to stop, and oh did I sweat, when I stepped off the treadmill I had a cold feeling and goosebumps, I think I had to keep moving, then I went on the stepper , with half intensity I believed I climbed the C.N. Tower twice, after my workout I was wide awake for several hours, Great feelings , you will feel this,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Greg Moss from St.john's

Seems to work pretty well June 21, 2008 Jeebus 8 out of 9 found this review helpful
I can't attest to this product eliciting a "state of heightened mental euphoria" but I have noticed more endurance in my kickboxing classes and an extra rep or two during my weightlifting. I'm roughly two weeks into my cycle and have noticed increased vascularity and more noticable definition in my abdominal/core area. I take it about one hour pre-workout with a 200-250 calorie snack that has a 1:4 protein to carb ratio and always follow up with an isolated whey protein shake. It is also important to note that I am a health-conscious eater and my beverage of choice 99% of the time is a chilled glass of water.
At first I was taking the recommended dosage of 1 capsule with no noticable effect. I started taking 2 capsules and really noticed the effects. However, I only take 1 capsule on my cardio days since my heart rate went through the roof when I took 2 (100% max heart rate which for me is 200bpm). Forty-five minutes prior to a run I took 2 capsules with a light snack and after 2.5 miles my heart was beating out of my chest and I felt like throwing up. With 1 capsule I am sweating much more in my kickboxing class and have enough energy to maintain the same level of intensity through the entire 1 hour class - some days I'll run a mile on the treadmill afterwards because of the extra energy.
The first 3 days of double-dosing I had some slight headaches which lasted maybe 15-20 minutes and I had to go #2 roughly 45 minutes after taking it (not diarrhea, but noticably looser) However, I had no GI problems and felt no crashes or side-effects other than the mild headaches.
I am not recommending that anyone take more than the recommended dose. I myself tried the recommended dosage first for 3 days before doubling it.
For comparison: I am male, in my late 20's, 183 lbs, above average fitness, and 11% body fat (measured 3 weeks ago - probably closer to 10% now since my abs are more visible)
This product works as long as it's a supplement to healthy eating and regular exercise. Good luck!
Update: As of July 27, 2008 I am currently just under 9% body fat. This product gives me incredible energy, but I also cut out most primary carbs and my snacks have been replaced with a zero-carb shake that contains 40g of isolated whey protein. It's hard to determine which has had greater impact. I am currently off my cycle so I will see if my fat loss continues without taking this product.
good so far November 25, 2008 William Clark 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I have used it for few days now, better energy on eliptical runner, I usually feel like quitting after 10 minutes, but this morning made it through all 30 minutes and felt like I could have kept going, my heart rate stayed very stable throughout at 154 bpm, felt very energetic all day and wanted to workout or play ball all day long, little muscle twitching and one GI accident after 1st dose, but it was on empty stomach, no other problems so far, I am a pretty happy person, so no noticeable "feel good" effect.
