I emailed Pat Arnold to ask him what he thought about MAG-10. I also was going to bitch him out for not applying for a patent on 1-Testosterone. This was before I re-read the article and realized that T-mag filed a patent for Androst-1-ene ethylcarbonate ester which I think is 1-Testosterone with the added ester.
Me: Please say you filed a patent for 1-testosterone before these idiots did? I know you mentioned on Google that it is legal to produce, so I would hope this is the case
Pat: "I did not apply for a 1-test patent because it is a hormone that was already studied by pharmcological companies years ago. so its not a novel invention and cannot be patented"
Me: "By the way, what do you think of Mag-10 and what is on the horizon as far as innovattion."
Pat: "Mag-10 looks to me like t-mag is just copying the innovations that i made and altering them to make them look like their own. I see no evidence provided that their alterations change the efficacy of the compounds one bit. i guess i am flattered at the attempted imitation"
2nd email:
Me: Thanks!! My stomach feels a little better now. You know I really got a kick out of this part of the article.
"Now, others have attempted to provide Androst-1-ene by manufacturing Androst-1-ene prohormones (not pro-steroids)."
Me: Gee, wonder who they are talking about?
"The first such product was 1-androstenedione. Like 4-androstenedione, it's inherently inactive, which is a real disadvantage, but some small amount of it could convert to Androst-1-ene."
Me: So small that they had to write an article to trash it because it was (probably still is) kicking there asses!!
"All in all, 1- androstenedione is nothing we'd ever consider using — too little of it converts to Androst-1-ene to allow much anabolic effect, and the great majority that doesn't convert is completely inactive and wasted."
ME: But they will produce Tribex and Methoxy-7! Ironic huh?
"Basically, this product flopped, and was swiftly replaced with 1-androstenediol (1-AD), with the hope that the conversion would be more efficient. 1-AD is somewhat better than 1-androstenedione, but it's still not very potent"
Me: I thought you changed to diol because of the irritation issues with the dione. Oh, well, you learn something every day reading T-mag.
Don't get me wrong, MAG-10 sounds very intereting from the info that they present, but personally, alot of people will have to pack on alot of pound before I would shell out any money to biotest after the exagerations that they have come up with.
