Anyways did a serving then waited and watched to see what happens and things did happen.....
Started to get that staring focused look/feel then angryness coming through then low and behold the thing that I thought would happen did
massive blood sugar crash at about the 45 minute mark (I wasn`t training just doing some reading and watching tv) and it kept dropping and dropping to the point I started to get that shaking nauseus(sp) feeling then that panick attack popint coming rushing in (this is a sure sign with me that blood sugars are crashing bad) so it was a very quick rush to the cupboard and 3 teaspoons of honey later felt a little better. Had a quick tea of jacket spuds with cheese and beans and felt much better as I felt the food kick in...
Now looking at the ingredients this bit jumped out at me
Energized Matrix: 1600mg
L-tyrosine, caffeine, n-acetyl cysteine, l-phenylalanine, vanadyl sulfate.
I noticed that they just give a total mg level not a breakdown of what each on is....
Now caffiene and taurine are a very powerfull mix, then they add vanadyl sulphate (not looked into the others much) which is an insulin mimicker and can and does drop peoples blood sugar...The usual dose for this is in the 10-30mg aday region for short periods of time (when this stuff first came out they had you cycle it 4 weeks on 4 off). Now what with the caffiene in there dropping blood sugars and vanadyl doing the exact same thing to me your setting yourselfs up for a big crash by the end of a workout...
Blood sugar crashes cause a release of adrenaline and adrenline type hormones in the body which in turn make you agressive and snappy, this is your hungry caveman instinct kicking in (this is why red bull was band in France due to a relationship between crime/violence and the use of such drinks...don`t believe then experiment on yourselfs and see how much it changes your perseption and rational thinking...control insulin and control the body) and getting mr caveman ready to go on the hunt...
So if you combine the whole items together I think/believe this is why your feeling so bad/lethargic/tired so much this past couple of weeks...Now I do know you`ve had colds etc but I think this product is making the situation much worse.....
I would love to hear others opinions especially yours Takmaster and the scientific background you have and maybe you could shed a little more light on the interactions of the ingrediants in this product.....
My feelings are its not a product I`ll touch again as its bad news and the gains are far outweighed by the negative implications I feel that it has.....
