Hi Gary, welcome to the boards.
A hint before you post...
This is getbig.
If you start spamming in threads with ads for "Team Biohazard" (VEEEEERY stupid name by the way, who the hell would like to put something into his body that says biohazard??), me and other users here will straighten you out. Read around the board, fishy ads and 'magic' supplements don't have a good stance around here. Also advertising your own products will surely lead to some serious flaming, insults and accusations.
If you post good valuable info, you're welcome. ;D ;D

Donkey Kong
I stand corrected on this, but Biohazard was run in the states by the late Trevor Smith and Ian Harrison.
There was a whole story on the founding members I just cant remember what any more.
And by the way welcome Gary please correct me if I am wrong.

Actually i don't care very much who's behind a supplement company. I buy good products, not because the company belongs to Dorian Yates, Gaspari or God.

Review:
I looked up the webpage of "team biohazard".
Lots of fancy names that are supposed to sound "hardcore" (cerberus, predator, 'the mutant 2', liquid carbon oil, the virus).
Names are stupid, there's NO information about supplement ingredients. prices are rather high.
For your reading pleasure, i copied the most stupid sounding supplement "information" for you:
THE VIRUS
At Team Biohazard we have cultured a disease, more dangerous than before, more infectious, likely to reach epidemic proportions. The Virus is our latest product in the war against fat. Once contracted you will develop a fever, very hot. Hot enough to melt the fat from your body. Patients typically burn fat before their very eyes with The Virus.
This is the best thermogenic formulation on the planet. A potent blend of herbs and metabolic stimulants.
First we had Extreme Heat, it worked. Then we had Meltdown that worked well. Now we have The Virus. We believe this is the most potent product of its kind.
This product is a refined version of a thermogenic Paul developed more than five years ago. It was called T5. The ingredients are natural, the effects are devastating. Do not exceed the stated dose, and as with all neuroceuticals keep well away from children.
PRICE £24.95
What is this BS about?? More dangerous, more infectious? Dude, get your factory clean than this won't happen anymore.
PANSPERMIA
Panspermia is designed to be taken during the workout. It comprises of three different types of carbohydrates, creatine monohydrate to replenish the muscle stores plus a little laevulose to replenish liver glycogen stores, a small amount of protein, lipoic acid and l-taurine, all designed to help you through your workout and prevent a catabolic state occurring within the body whilst training. We only use a small amount of protein so as not to compromise the post workout meal.
Price £ 24.95
Panspermia?? During workout?? small amount of protein??? shit, this almost made me puke.
LIV 365
The liver is one of the most remarkable achievements in higher animal physiology. Without it we would not survive. Without its awesome powers of regeneration we would not be able to grow. The liver makes the man!
Did you know that a liver can fully regenerate even if it is killed down to one-sixth of its size? This is a saving grace for modern day living and athletic performance. The size of a person can become directly proportional to the health of that persons liver. Simply dealing with large amounts of protein requires many of the livers primary enzymes.
Even though the liver can regenerate from one sixth it size, a liver that small can not function a fully functioning liver is what an athlete needs.
LIV365 was developed in India for horses. If a horse eats certain leaves those leaves can be poisonous. The horse becomes sick and can die. The LIV365 formulation was developed as a raw liquid. This would get a sick horse back on its feet within an hour.
This technology has now been transferred to greyhounds with similar success and now we have pioneered a version of the original formula for human consumption.
PRICE £19.95
haha, this is pure comedy gold...

hahaha...I knew Donkey Kong was going to go hog wild on this, but that was too funny!!
-Team Nuclear Wasteland!!!
-
hahahaha you should have called it
"Team Cherynobl" ;D

"the Virus" still gets me.
It sounds so stupid that either you have to be a total idiot to take it or you run away laughing.
The description could fit DNP (2,4-Dinitrophenol).
"At Team Biohazard we have cultured a pesticide, more dangerous than before, more infectious, likely to reach explosive proportions. DNP is our latest product in the war against fat. Once contracted you will develop a fever, very hot. Hot enough to melt the fat from your body and to kill you instantly. Patients typically burn fat before their very eyes with DNP.

The problem is that such moronic ads must work on all of the moron consumers buying the products, otherwise the ads would change (and the products would change along wiith them).

Very true. Just look at MD and you have the proof. THe ads are crap, the pdoucts are crap and the names of the products are crap.

I'm sick dammit! Nothing funny! Nothing!
-
This is NOT a flame. I'd be the last one to flame a supp distributor on this board, ...but even without knowing anything about his products, I'm shocked that people would even want to buy them.
As I read the description DK posted, ...all that kept running through my mind was 'Ebola'. :-\
Why would someone want to put something in their body called 'Virus'? ???
Anyway... welcome Gary. :)

As someone who's endured the 'onslaught' here for almost 3 years now,
...I'd say Gary is still a virgin. His cherry has yet to be popped. :P

Did Gary quit the boards already? :'( Please Gary come back Donkey Kong is not done with you yet. At least try to defend your company. :D

I KNEW he would never return, but rather than delete the spam & the thread, I left it there for a good laugh, not to mention, several people put a lot of work into it! ;D

JUst for the fun, Look at how much shit you can put into a simple creatine MONOHYDRATE~ ;D ;D ::) ::)
GUARDIAN
Creatine Monohydrate is the main ingredients of Guardian. Creatine is possibly the world’s largest selling muscle-building supplement. However there are over 20 different grades of Creatine, each grade varies greatly in potency. Guardian does exactly what the name suggests; act as a guardian against muscle tissue loss. In the event that protein is running short your metabolism will use it s creatine reserves before its muscle tissue to replenish vital amino acids (proteins)
Guardian, as with any creatine product, increases APT formation at the muscle fibre site and increases muscle contraction output. Guardian is more than just a muscle contraction product; it is also there to protect us. To prevent the risk of muscle tears Guardian now contains its own rehydration factor (chromo dextrin), this prevents the localised muscle dehydration caused by conventional creatine.
Usage
Phase 1 The Loading Phase
For 8 days take 1 gram per 5kg of bodyweight daily in warm solution (water with a little fruit juice) for the following 10 days take 1 gram per 15 kg of body weight
Phase 2 The Protected Phase (or maintenance phase)
On training days only take 1 gram of Guardian per 15kg of bodyweight. If you have a 5 hour period without protein add an additional dos of 1 gram per 15 kg of bodyweight
Phase 3 the Unprotected Phase
This is to allow the bodies systems top metabolically reset. Take no products for 6 days and start at phase 1 again

Shame :)
I went to go look at his site for the first time today and this actually is the firm started by the late Paul Borresen, with half the world from Dorian Yates to the late Trevor Smith being involved with him or his firms.
Get big actually has a thread on it that makes for a very good read.
Check it out.

Okay, "Big G", that's a grade A meltdown.
Sooo, you know too much for us?? Then why even bother posting here...
Your supplement names suck, that's for sure. You try to sell average or normal supplements with childish names to sound hardcore.
"Predator" protein, "Carbon oil" fatty acids, that's total BS.
You may catch 14 year old Superman fans with this, but not sane people. This is just an advice from someone who knows a bit about marketing, my friend. And it was for free, "Team Biohazard" (still sounds like you should clean up your factory to me).
Extra hint: Do you know what a "space bar" does? And it's not a superfancy protein bar that will make you float.
It has the function on your keyboard you believe the "."-button has.
Hope this helps, "Big G".

Amen
unfortunatly there are billions of dollars out there just waiting to be spent on quick fixes by the uneducated.

That's what really puzzles me about "Team Biohazard".
Steroid-like sounding supps is one thing, these sell very good usually because stupid people usually assume that "D-Bol" is like Dianabol, "Winny V" is like Winny, Stanozolol is like Stanozolon, "Omifen" = Tamoxifen and so on and so on. List is endless.
Then other idiotic produts that nobody needs. Called "Shotgun", "Machine Gun", "A-Bomb", "Razor" or whatever. Dumb enough.
But most of them include a proper list of ingredients and an exaggerated explanation of the supplement.
Not so "Team Biohazard". I still can't get over 'The Virus' or 'Carbon Oil'. Ridiculous.

I came over as a member here said it was a good board.............ALL I got for my FIRST post was abuse...Not something you would get from my board.........From people whom know f**k all about me and my company..
I like my "space bar" but I like my "." button better..........lol
So who are you then Donkey?Have you competed?What do you do? Simply questions I am sure you won't mind answering?
So,do you carry on with the insults and abuse or can you be mature enough to have an adult conversation?
By the way,the names for my products were not picked to 'SOUND' hardcore......You are very misguided or mis-imformed or maybe 'dare I say it' intellectually challenged
but hey what do I know.

Calm down. "Big G" ::) ::)
You are the one insulting me personally. I just stated in the first post yuo better not mess around here, that was all. Now you come back here call me 'intellectually challenged' and so on.
Now for your questions: Do i have to have competed to think your products are only average and have stupid sounding names?? Funny thought. Do i have to win the O before i am allowed to buy them?? ;D ;D
So, if the names were not to sound hardcore, tell me why you would use shitty names as you did? Why didn't you call your Whey Protein "Whey 3000" or something like that? No, it had to be along the lines of 80's Action movies. ;D ;D ;D
Oh and btw, being interllectually challenged, maybe we can continue this conversation in german or japanese, because i know these languages better than english.
-
Ok guys......
We have got off on the wrong 'feet' I feel......
Donkey,I was pulling your chain about the 'intellectually challenged' comment,I apologize if you took it wrongly ok?
I am all up for a good old debate,but lets be fair,I have had a good ol bashing here for a simply introductory post,Which has been misinterpreted......
FYI,the names of the product range were named by my good friend Paul Borresen,and out of respect for him I kept the names when I bought the company off his widow(Carol)
I have added to the product range with 'Impact' and 'Economics'(again not trying to plug anything here)just stating a fact ok.I hope you think these names are more fitting?
Are we going to get along now or not?
Regarding my questions to you,I was simply interested to what you do?
All the best
Big G..
-
haha, ok.
I really thought "Impact" and "Economics" were the most normal along the names. (Only that i tend to think about production systems, stock exchanges and the likes when i hear 'Economics')
Respect for Paul is a good thing in social science thinking, but in "Economics" you might think about having some slight changes in regard to market shares. MIght be you get a better "impact" then, instead of a "virus" that nobody would like to have. Just my 2 cents.

First, and sorry to say, you need to work on your website. You can't change the product names easily because new labes have to be printed and so on. So at least change some of the texts.
"three different type of carbs". You need to explain this further. glucose, saccharose and fructose = BS supplement. Glucose, maltodextrine, oat meal = makes a great time released weight gainer.
"the Virus" needs work done. Make it sound powerful, but not like Ebola! and write down what the hell's in it. I know i can lose a lot of weight on AIDS, but do i want that?? NO FUCKING WAY.
Stuff like that. Also, i'm afraid no straight male will ever drink "panspermia". ;D ;D It just sounds gross.

thankyou for your constructive advice Donkey........
I know things are different in the US and a few years ago when I had a distributor there(Phil Boykin) our product range was flying out the door,(We have had a supplement stand at the Arnold S classic for three years on the trot,and the feedback was incredible)as it is very different to a lot of products about..Believe it or not,Virus has no problem being sold here also,panspermia( I can see where you are 'cumming' from though lol)

Very entertaining. I admire Donkey for his honesty, sometimes, as a business person, you need to see how the public sees you. I have a few folks who give me a swift kick of reality every once in awhile. It sucks when it happens, but you come away enlightened.
