I was very excited about starting a cycle of 1-AD. I am 34 year old male, 200 lbs, have been working out for 12 years (natural thus far), and eat a healthy diet. I had read many reports of positive feedback from other users concerning 1-AD, so I decided to give prohormones one more try (I tried a bunch of them when they first hit the scene years ago – without any noticeably positive effect). I was taking 2 caps 3 times per day of 1-AD – with food. I have been taking it for 5 days and have been plagued with upset stomach, gas, and the shits.
I have noticed that there have been some reports of a burning sensation during urination. On days 3 and 4 I had noticed a little bit of a burning sensation myself – then on day 5 it seemed to have gotten worse when I urinated shortly after my second dose of 1-AD. The next time I took a leak I decided to do so into a clear glass jar just to see if everything looked all right. To my SHOCK I noticed at the bottom of the jar were little white granules, almost like miniature pebbles that were much heavier then the urine. I dumped the urine from the cup and indeed the little granules remained at the bottom. They were solid, but could be crushed by my finger into a white paste/powder.
Although I can’t say for certain that these white granules are a result of my taking 1-AD, given that they seemed to coincide with the burning sensation during urination, which others have noticed while taking 1-AD, there seems to be a possibility of a correlation. Note that these white granules were not readily visible while taking a leak – it was by urinating into a clear glass container and then looking at the bottom of the container that I was able to get a good look at them. I was wondering if it is possible that the 1-AD is not breaking down fully and is being excreted in urine as small granules, thus causing painful urination. If this theory is correct then the white granules would probably be most noticeable for the first couple of urinations after 1-AD has gone through your system – after which the majority would be washed out.
Note that a day after I stopped taking 1-AD I no longer experienced pain during urination and my urine was free of the mysterious white granules. So with the painful urination, upset stomach, gas, and diarrhea, I am ending my trial of 1-AD. If you are currently taking 1-AD and notice any discomfort during urination (particularly within an hour or so after dosing) I would carefully examine your urine for what I have described above. I suspect that the painful urination that many people speak of while taking 1-AD is due to some of it (or a metabolite of 1-AD) being excreted in urine. It would be interesting to get to the bottom of this issue.
Since I only took 1-AD for 5 days, I can’t really comment on any muscle/strength building effect, as five days is much too short to expect noticeable result. However in my case the side effects were just too extreme for me to justify taking this product.
