I'm actually on a very similar stack - Pink Magic and Prime are doing me WONDERS. Animal Pak is my multi and it has Milk Thistle, and this is all I'm doing. However, I don't think taking it would hurt at all. I'm also adding Quercetin pre-workout and BCAAs (with my Whey).

A few notes here: First off - Jack3d has two stimulants that may in fact hinder your appetite - Caffeine and 1,3 Dimethylamylamine (germanium extract, like a very mild amphetamine) - see the Jack3d Ingredients write-up Second, you can make your own weight gainer cheaper. Get creative. Here's...

Here's a good writeup on the Jack3d Label There's on ephedrine in it, but there is a similar, weaker substance called 1,3 dimethylamylamine. You can probably make your own Jack3d cheaply... but no clue where you'd get Schizandrol A.

I'd be wary of mixing any extra stimulants with ephedrine. The 1,3 dimethylamylamine in Jack3d (see the Jack3d ingredients) is like a weak amphetamine, and who knows what mixing it with ephedrine will do. Probably not a good idea, just in case.

Yeah, that's a great price but the shipping rates for that little container are ridiculous. You can get the same price and nearly half the shipping cost through this Jack3d page. Sorry for the offtopic

No doubt this stuff is awesome. I liked the germanamine (1,3 dimethylamylamine) so much that I bought some separately - it kicks in about 30 minutes later than caffeine for me, but when I take it separately from caffeine it doesn't do as much. Seems synergistic with caffeine, which is why...

Hmm, good stuff, thank you. I'd like to see REAL running performance though, not lactic acid. For the best long-distance runners, every extra ounce of ass they have to carry around can slow them down. So is the benefit of endurance performance counteracted by weighing more from creatine...

Here's a page that should help: Supplements for Long-Distance Runners NO to creatine. Long distance runners do not need more water weight, they need lean muscle with protein and aminos, including beta alanine

Most successful studies I've looked into use 1500mg of glucosamine sulfate and 1200 or so mg of chondroitin.

Aminos are good, but capsules are way too expensive. Take a look at this list of "grams of total BCAAs per dollar": BCAAs Powders top the list. You can go with the raw stuff but Xtend is damned tasty too

Oh and nobody here has mentioned good ol' CAFFEINE! Caffeine Benefits

No carbs (except veggies) after 4pm. Try to center your carbs around the workout, otherwise start cutting them. I'd stay away from any processed carbs, get them all from nuts, fruits, and vegetables.

Looks like you're right. My bad. Here's a Vermont law that talks about it. http://healthvermont.gov/adap/meth/documents/RetailRefFinal.pdf Sounds like Feds won't get involved unless someone gets busted with a meth lab and it traces back to you.

Do you have any studies that show this? It seems like quite a generalization, but there's got to be a decent formula out there somewhere. I would think that someone who's 125lbs will not be able to digest as much or as quickly as a 250lb person.

There's a billion studies that show this stuff is good and works for fat-loss, as an antioxidant, and to prevent cancer (especially for women). I have good experience with it and take 4 caps each night, .8g per cap. CLA studies
