URGENT PRESS RELEASE:  How To Make Your OWN Bodybuilding & Fat Loss Supplements
 
Are you frustrated with wasting a week’s paycheck on the latest and greatest bodybuilding or fat loss supplements without even knowing if they’re making ENOUGH of a difference to be worth the gobs of money you just spent?
 
Are you sick to your stomach of getting sucked into ads of steroid-pumped pro-athletes holding up a bottle of “natural” wonder-supplements claiming that THEIR body was built “naturally”?
 
Are there supplements that you would LIKE to test out, but can’t see selling a “black market kidney” to pay the outrageous price they want to charge?
 
Well, how would you like to know how you can EASILY and INEXPENSIVELY make your OWN supplements that are AS GOOD AS, or even BETTER than the very same name brands you’ve been buying?
 
Here’s how to do it…
 
STEP 1:  KNOW WHICH SUPPLEMENTS WORK AND WHICH ONES DON’T
 
The marketing “tricks” used by unscrupulous supplement companies are numerous.
 
In some cases, ingredients that are built up as the next “revolutionary” breakthrough have been proven to have NO EFFECT whatsoever in independent testing.
 
In other cases, the research that a supplement company uses to promote its product, when investigated, actually proved the supplement DIDN’T work at all!
 
It’s all in the wording and manipulation of results.  If a group of guys build a 1/2 lb of new muscle over a 1 month time period and another group builds 1.5 lbs of muscle, then guess what?
 
“Testing PROVES that our supplement can help you gain 300% more muscle every single month!”
 
Fortunately there are a few websites that can help you with credible independent research.
 
Two of the best are www.consumerlab.com and www.naturaldatabase.com.

One of these websites costs about $27 for a full year to subscribe to their information database while the other is $10 per month.
 
Now if spending money on doing the research (which honestly CAN take HOURS to go ingredient-by-ingredient), I’m going to give you some advice where you can bypass the subscription fees.
 
But more on that later.  On to Step 2…
 
STEP 2:  BEWARE OF THE “SUPPLEMENT SPRINKLE”
 
There are many “tricks of the trade” that supplement manufacturers use to help sell their products…but THIS is by far one of the WORST that people fall prey to.
 
I call it the “supplement sprinkle” and it works like this…
 
A supplement may provide an ingredient that credible research has shown to be effective at building muscle, burning fat, raising hormone levels, or whatever.
 
And this research is plastered all over their ads marketing their supplement that in fact DOES contain this “miracle ingredient”.
 
But what they DON’T tell you is that the research proving its effectiveness used MUCH higher doses than what are included in their actual product formula.
 
No big whoop for the supplement manufacturer…just by HAVING the ingredient, they have the “right” to claim “Product X contains a compound that showed a 250% increase in growth hormone”.
 
That may be true…but the small “sprinkling” of that ingredient will NOT have the same effect for the user.
 
Look again at independent research that has shown the ingredient to be effective and see HOW MUCH was used in the actual study that showed it to be effective.
 
THIS is the amount you want to use in your own personal “formula”.
 
STEP 3:  COPY THE “SECRET INGREDIENTS” OF YOUR TARGET SUPPLEMENTS
 
Just like perfume companies take high-dollar designer brands and “copy” their formula to develop and market a much cheaper alternative, you too can “knock off” the “secret formulas” of supplement manufacturers and make them much cheaper yourself.
 
Now there ARE some obstacles you’re going to face if you try to do this…
 
First you have the earlier problem of knowing which ingredients that are listed actually WORK…and which ones are WORTHLESS.
 
Second, you need to know in what QUANTITIES effective supplements must be used so you’re not wasting your time with your OWN “sprinkle” problem.
 
Third, you need to know WHERE to find the ingredients you’re going to use at a cost low enough to make it worth your while.
 
Fourth, you need to know exactly HOW the ingredients listed interact with one another to either boost the effectiveness of each supplement alone…or in some cases even NEGATE the effects of other ingredients (yes…sometimes the ingredients companies use can actually cancel each other out!)
 
Now, on the front end, this may look like a LOT of work…and it IS if you’re doing the research yourself.  In fact, it typically takes me about 2 DAYS to fully investigate a product’s claims and ingredients and then ANOTHER day to prepare my “attack plan” to formulate my own homemade formula.
 
But you’re in luck because here’s how you can completely eliminate the “research and development” learning curve with my special little “shortcut”…
 
On May 2nd, I’m going to be releasing a 200 page manual called “Homemade Supplement Secrets” that does ALL of the legwork for you.
 
I’ve decided to take the “fight” to the greedy supplement manufacturers and give the “Average Joe” the ammunition to keep their hard earned money where it belongs…in their own pockets!
 
So just how much savings are we talking about?
 
What if I told you that you can EASILY take a “fat burner” supplement that NORMALLY costs up to $99.98…and make it YOURSELF for just $5.00 a month?
 
Or how about a popular “muscle-builder” that normally costs $79.90…that you can make for just $6.29 a month?
 
These are just a COUPLE of examples of how you can start “fighting back” against the companies that are sucking money out of our pockets like a Hoover vacuum.
 
In “Homemade Supplement Secrets”, here’s what I do…
 
  • Expose all of the scams, cons, tricks, and downright FRAUDS that plague the supplement industry!  There are GOOD companies…and there are “BAD” companies.  I show you how to spot the cons like an FBI interrogator!
  • Show you how you can set up your own “home base lab” with everyday items and utensils you never expected had an “alternative” use.  No need to break out that chemistry set your mom and dad bought you back in 3rd grade.  EVERYTHING you need to get started can be found at your local grocery store!
  • Provide an “ingredient-by-ingredient” analysis of the “major supplements” in 8 different supplementation areas to show you what independent research has to say about its TRUE effectiveness so you can make your own decision about what is right for YOU.  I take all of the “top sellers” and turn them inside out.  You’ll know how REAL science weighed in on some of the highest priced supplements!
  • Break open my own personal “knock off” formulas for 24 (yes, that’s TWENTY-FOUR!) of the top selling supplements available today!  I won’t spare a single secret as I spill the beans on how YOU can whack off as much as 98% on your supplement bill…starting TOMORROW!
  • GIVE you my own “little black book” of the very BEST resources for quality supplement ingredients that will SHOCK you with their prices.  I’ve turned over every rock I could find for the past 2 years in looking for the very best deals available on supplements.  You’ll be amazed at some of the deals that are literally HIDDEN from the average person and tucked away in the darkest corners you may never even think to look.  I found them…and now their YOURS! 
This is just a quick sample of what I’ll be revealing in this controversial “how-to” guide!
 
But here’s the catch…
 
…I’m ONLY going to release 1,000 copies of the program at 12:00 noon (US Central Time) on Wednesday, May 2nd…and notice is going out to over 500,000 email subscribers!
 
Why only 1,000 copies?
 
Well, even though I’ve remained as “politically correct” as possible, I’ve already ticked off quite a few people by stepping on the toes of the “big boys”. 
 
I’ve even been turned down by some major fitness magazines for advertising simply because it would “hurt the feelings” of their major advertisers who are pushing $10,000 per page ads trying to get us to fork over our hard-earned money.
 
Quite frankly, I have NO IDEA what public reaction is going to be.
 
I have a feeling that the “regular working guys” who are looking to save a TON on their supplement bill will send me flowers…
 
But “backroom” supplement manufacturers who are pumping out worthless bottles of crap are going to contact my local Chicago mafia representative to take out a “hit” on me.
 
Not that I’m really concerned with assassination attempts (I’ve seen enough Schwarzenegger movies to handle myself!)…but I DO have some friends in the industry (both in the manufacturing AND marketing ends) and I’ve decided that while I don’t care about hurting the feelings of the big box supplement companies, I’m NOT looking to damage the business of friends who ARE putting out some quality supplements.
 
After the 1,000 initial copies, I’m going to assess whether or not it’s worth it to re-release the manual…or shut it down permanently.
 
I may release it again…I may not…but I can assure you of one thing…
 
On May 2nd, I’m going to release it at a price so unbelievable, you would be INSANE not to be waiting by your keyboard for my launch notification just so you can grab your copy before they’re all gone.
 
BUT…I’m going to give you a chance RIGHT NOW to sign up for my “Early Bird” Notification List where you can get an extra ONE HOUR headstart on the rest of the world (yes…this program MAY sell out in under 1 hour!  If you don’t want to take the chance, then I suggest you secure your spot in line right now!  No kidding!)
 
If you’re currently using ANY supplements, I urge you to get on my “early bird” notification list so you can be one of the 1,000 people who will gain access to this controversial new program.
 
All you have to do is go to www.HomemadeSupplements.com and sign up for the “Early Bird” Notification List now.
 
Anabolically yours,
 
The “Muscle Nerd”
Jeff Anderson

By now, you’ve probably heard the “buzz” about the “Muscle Nerd’s” upcoming launch of his latest book, “Homemade Supplement Secrets”.
 
I’ve seen the book and if you use ANY supplements at all in your fitness program...either for gaining weight, losing weight, sports performance...or whatever, then your wallet is going to thank you over and over again for the information you’re about to see!
 
You DON’T have to be a scientist to learn how you can put together your very own supplements (using easy-to-find, inexpensive ingredients) that work as good as (or BETTER?!) than the name brand versions...and Jeff shows you step-by-step how to do it!
 
So here’s why I’m posting...
 
Jeff (aka – the “Muscle Nerd”) just put out a video to answer 3 of the most common questions he’s been getting about his new program...and gives you REAL NUMBERS on just how easy it is to make your own supplements...and exactly how much you can save!
 
Go check out this short video right now and be SURE to get on the “Early Bird” list for this book launch.  He’s ONLY releasing 1,000 copies and Jeff just told me that there are already over 700 people signed up for the 1-hour headstart notification!  Do NOT be late on this one!
 
Here’s where you can watch the video right now and sign up for the early notice...

First what is the price of this book. Also, how are we supose to know that these work. I mean the companies that make suppliments don't have to label everything on the label since no product is FDA approved. So how are we supose to know how effective these homemade supps are the same? My sports doc told me that 12 random products were taken off the GNC shelf and were tested for testosterone boosters and 8/12 had tested positive. So I'm just wondering the effectiveness of these homemade supps.

Why is he only releasing 1000 if there's so much interest? If he has 2000 on the early birds list then why wouldn't get just have more printed? I'd also like to know how much the book will cost.

$27

He's doing it to gauge interest.  If he sells his first 1000 copies, you better damn well believe he'll re-launch it.  If nobody gives a rat's... he's not going to spend the time.

Putting the feelers out and to use "scarcity" as a method to get people to MOVE on the offer.

Personally?  Think about it.  Give me some questions to ask Jeff for the interview.  He'll re-launch this puppy I'm quite certain.  And at least you can mull it over and get some answers from him BEFORE making a decision.

That is.. if you guys/gals and give me some decent, focused stuff to ask him specifically related to his product.  Smile

Then again, if you get it and hate it, just get a refund.  You don't risk anything by doing so if you aren't pleased.

I would pretty much garuntee that the 1000 copy thing is a bunch of BS... I bet anything that he's actually releasing as many as the orders he gets.  I no longer trust anything on this board as far as supps go anymore anyways though considering most of this stuffs motivation is from people that are from company reps...And this post will get deleted cuz i said this to because i'll a offend a company representitive, not to mention the way this guys website is setup is exactly like most crap that is a scam and isnt worth the time.

I just want completely unbiased information you know...After seeing on these boards that some people are just company reps trying to get sales it makes me not trust anyone when it comes to supps, i'll personally only trust friends that i know wouldnt lie to me about stuff like this.

I got a copy of jeff's book Smile and I just made one of his recipes with less than $5.00 Smile (I already had one ingredient). I'll definitively save more money making my own supplements using stuff I can get just around the corner at a very lower prices than the marketed stuff. As always, Jeff knows what he is talking about and this ebook is not the exception. It was worth spending a few bucks. If you have the opportunity, grab a copy!

I think there are a total of 4-5 reps that post consistently on these boards. They do support their own products, but also come with good advice. There are several knowledgable members on this board, that aren't reps, that can answer any question you have.

Ask Jeff how someone will be able to tolerate such a "formula" if it contains herbs that are in capsulated form.  I realize you would open the capsule if you were to add it in a drink/powder.  It would be pretty gross if you think about it. 

I couldn't think of anything to ask that wasn't covered already.

P.S. - I sent Jeff a question asking if he had or if I could provide a full sample.  I think that is a legitimate question.

personally, i don't believe it. i've tried tons of stuff (as i'm sure all of us have) and unless there's something he knows that the rest of the companies don't...what's the point? something to PROVE that this is the exception to going and buying them from a store would be nice. some sort of stat chart that isn't made up, a survey of the first 1,000 people or something. and what else does he have to back this up? has he worked for a supp company? does he have extensive and superior knowledge about the body and how it operates? not questioning anyone else on the board, just one guy who has a "key"? i don't know. i'd have to see to believe and $27 bucks that i could spend on stuff that i know for a fact works, isn't seeing and believing.
