Actually, now that I think about it - 2 "sups" I also used that I believe definitely "worked" were:

Dymetadrine 25, or something like that.  Think it was ephedrine.

19-nor 3 Andro by AST... Did one bottle of this.  Went to do another a few years later but got spooked and threw it out (I am an admitted puss when it comes to this kind of stuff.  If I every feel dizzy, etc..i just stop using stuff,warranted or not).

Yes, and very high quality.  My training partner at the time got hooked on it... worked up to taking 75mgs pre-workout.  Took it this way for years.  I told him not to take this much.  Today he has many problems with his heart and neurological issues.

Some of the early 19-nor stuff was pretty good, but for me it did what deca would do: killed my libido. Since, at the time, I was attempting to get jacked for the chicks, it didn't seem like a good trade.

I would use it on heavy squat days, then loved the euphoric feeling of having the body feel totally wiped by the mind racing.  Then, one day I got dizzy driving home and flushed the bottle down the toilet.

I didn't notice that, but killing my libido at that time would have probably defied science.

Back in the early 2000's I wasted so much money buying every new product that came out at GNC, I think the one I really bought into was the whole myostatin protein thing

In the past 15 years I tried every herb, vitamin and mineral. Worrying when I walk in the shop and generally cant find anything I havnt tried once. Good thing Im not a drug addict.

I tried plenty of stupid products, there was this sublingual slime i tried from Biotest or Gen, cant remember exactly but it was some unfertilised chicken egg embryo extract from Russia. Didnt do anything.

CYBERGENICS!  :P :P :P

Ditto.  And it came with a crazy diet and training regimen that I figured was designed to prevent you from seeking the money back guarantee because you'd have a hard time saying you actually did what they said to do.  I give this whole scam credit for opening my eyes to all the scams and also to learning the importance of watching exactly what you eat.

The worst... HMB has resurfaced lately. They figure they can pass the shit off to those who don't know yet.

Surprising they did  not come out with an "ethyl ester" version of it. What a fuckin' screw job that was, lol...

1Bad Stuff
ByGeorge J. Nelsonon January 30, 2015
The Shredz line is total junk and dog crap. The BCAA+Glutamine is the worst tasting BCAA ever. Nasty Stuff. I Found out most of the good reviews are fake. This company is a joke, as I did more research on them afterwards. Total waste of $$$$. Stay away.

1Garbage and SCAM Marketing
ByFinalStepon October 16, 2012
1) The owner writes fake reviews, see the first in the list. No legitimate company does that.
2) Check the ingredients, besides the very small, almost insignificant amount of yohumbine, this thing is complete waste.
3) Check this guy's social media and you will understand why NO ONE should support them.

1Complete Fraud!
ByAmazon Customer "Shoppers for Free-Shipping Director"on June 23, 2013
Verified Purchase
Here's the skinny on this item, it's a complete fraud, an expensive one at that. Not only does the manufacturer refuse to disclose their ingredients but if you contact them about the product they'll try to make it seem like its your fault you havent seen any results. I contacted the manufacturer to let them know the only thing I had gained from their product was a lack of sleep and an allergic reaction. They wont hear a word about a return or a refund so buy at your own risk. They claimed the product never claimed to help u loose weight or lean down when their description "Maximum Strength Fat Burner with one thing in mind, results! When you step foot on the beach or the pool we want people to stare and wonder how the hell you got soo damn lean! SHREDZ along with diet & training will get you there. BENEFITS OF SHREDZ Leaning down and dropping body fat is enough to accomplish, but SHREDZ doesn't stop there. SHREDZ will give you clean, smooth energy." as you can see clearly claims to do so.

To be clear I actually doubled the amount of daily cardio while taking this product, and increase the lenght of my workouts, not because I had gained any energy but in good faith to try and make this product work. I never felt so tired all day as I did while taking this product.

STAY AWAY!!!!

1Scam marketing
ByDMX18on March 19, 2013
The company that makes this product uses fake reviews to generate interest. If you notice nearly all of the 4/5 star reviews came in on the same date. The ingredients in this product do not work and it is overpriced.

Look this up if you don't believe me: The FDA does NOT regulate supplements. So, these guys can put anything they want in this bottle, call it something else, and sell it for outrageous prices. That is what they are doing, on top of the fake reviews.

There was a Weider product called Protein 101 or some such name. Anyway, that was way back in the early seventies and boy did that one taste good. Sweet, but tasty. Good for getting more calories in.

Shortly after getting a can of this yummy stuff all the Weider supplements were taken off the shelves. The Australian government tested some products and found that the contents didn't match what was printed

on the labels. The amounts of protein inside were greatly exaggerated. That 101 never appeared in Australia again which is a shame. Weider was fined $ and the money was forwarded to genuine research into nutrition.

I don't use or recommend supplements. Study nutrition and buy what you need at the super market. You don't need all that extra protein. A big lie still peddled by the supplement sponsored magazines.


I remember an old school 70s bodybuilder once telling me that Hoffman and Weider used to go into the factories at night and lace the powders with sugar.

Got suckered into buying Smilax in the late 80's. 

so did I...you're not alone...about 20 years ago I bought a small bottle of SMILAX about three times for $35.00 each.....I thought I was using it wrong or not enough the first two times it didn't work.........what a SUCKER....My wallet is STILL saying ouch to that one.....

Also bought Nitro-Tech because the adds had me thinking I would look like Lee Priest....what a let down.....however,

Cell Tech actually worked for me the first time I took it.....I was bigger, stronger, and really hard.....

Gaspari's Creatine worked well too...was really jacked!!!

The old Hydroxycut was awesome too....lost a lot of weight on that...

Also bought ZMA...didn't do shit for me physically but WOW..slept deeply and had some fantastic dreams that were really colorful and vivid..like being on LSD

when it comes to supplements or protein and if one uses on,i try to use a company that has no flashy gimmicks/ads/or outrageous claims..most trusted brands like Beverly internatational,ON,DYNAMATIZE,OLYMPIA LABS,have basic or no advertising.

I bought some glutamine once, 2007 or so.


I bought glutamine last Saturday at just  $9.00 at Walmart you cant go wrong plus the placebo effect after a heavy workout is uncanny

I had the same experience with ZMA. In the end, it wasn't worth the cost as I was sleeping fine without it. I didn't notice any "gainz" on it or anything else.

The only way to tell if a supplement really works or not is if the government bans it.....when the Gov't gets involved then you know it works
