i hate people that just shoot down products before even knowing anything about them. yes i agree that diet+training can beat supps any day of the week. however, supps are there to do what they are meant to do SUPPLEMENT your workout to give you an extra boost. e-bol could be the next big thing or it could absolutely suck, but you will never know until you try it. if you try e-bol and it sucked for you then you could criticize it all day, but don't criticize stuff that you haven't even taken yourself.


Don't you think you might just be a supplement's marketing firm's wet dream with that attitude?Smile

On the other hand, you don't know if an untested supplement (even anecdotely - sp) would interfere with your training....so then, is it worth the risk?

What does this thread have to do with anabolic steroids?
ecdysterone is a plant/insect steroid but it's non hormonal in humans, the whole point is it's a much safer alternative. In terms of results in no where close to steroids.
I'm trying to find some research done on it, I know there were animal studies done.

Bottom line:

You should use whatever research that is available to you to draw conclusions about a particular supplement.

Most people spend a fair amount of time on home loans, new cars, vacations, airline tickets, snowboarding stuff, etc.

Why should supplements be any different?

Okay I went a tiny bit off subject I was just trying to point out that you guys keep looking for the easy way to gain... or the easy way to get big fast... By using pro hormones steroids or legal herb sups that really dont do anything at all..

I mean honestly guys if most people only gain 5 - 10 lbs of muscle with their 65 - 70$ that they spent on superdrol whats the point in that?
 
If you only gain 10 - 15lbs of muscle from dianabol by spending 100 $ in a month and lose the most of it anyways where is the point in that?
 
You guys are going to spend like what 40 - 50$ on this garbage and how much do you really expect to gain ?  2lbs?  Why not just go to the store and spend the money on food?
 
It just seems like a waste of money too me...  And the picture of the guy wasnt totally accurate he was getting surgery for his gyno problems contributed by the use of anabolics.  I was just using him as an example.

SUPPLEMENT means EXTRA....

Supplements are not a solution.

No, what is appropriate is to criticise a product based on evidence.  That would generally be data from repeated tests.  Then you will knoe what it does, in what dose, at what frequency, what the total effects are (desired and "collateral"), duration of use...

These clinical tests are to determine many things for us...safety being only one.

Not your own assumptions about what it may or may not have done.

I totally agree that everyone should research the supplements they buy throughly. I usually do that with most things so I don't end up throwing my money away.

Hey an extra 2lbs of muscle per month plus maybe increased vascularity/intensity? Sure that's worth well it.
Cheaper then that bottle of NO2 I bought.  
I don't have unrealistic expectations.

You can run a superdol cycle for 70 bucks? I figured it'd be way more then that with pct and everything.

I really don't know about ecdysterone but I want to keep an open mind because there are always overhyped supplements that do nothing but then again there are some that deliver and it's hard to see throught the marketing.

Well here's what I could find so far:

I didnt include the PCT in that price range. 

you do know the most effective PCT is also illegal too right?  Some can even cause you to lose your vision.. whats the point in gaining the muscle if you cant see your self in the mirror Smile...  Its all pretty risky stuff ya know?
