Making your own Taraxatone

[DaMan]

The incredients are Dandelion Leaf, Guarana, B-6, Uva Ursi and Magnesium.

Is there a reason not to buy those things separately and save like 80% for the same effect?

Any other diuretics to add to the stack, btw? (I'm thinkin' Green Tea... (caffeine))...

BTW Dandelion, Guarana and Uva are all available in liquid form... imagine a drinkable taraxatone... you could just have a 2-quart bottle and sip it all day instead of continuously popping pills... kinda like the Hollywood Miracle diet but better.

Thx.

Yeah dude cuz those Isopure w/ water & flax shakes we drink taste like milkshakes, huh...

Bodybuilding and a TASTY diet are mutually exclusive. I've made peace with the fact that working towards a sixpack is gonna cost me my taste buds for a few months.

Now anybody have any feedback / dosage info on my little "DaMan's Miracle Diet"?

so.. dehydrating your body for a few days is your idea of a "quest for a six-pack"?

Costs ca. 5x as much (no exxageration) as buying the ingredients separately, I have no control over how much of each ingredient, and I want to add some of my own (caffeine!).

Besides the idea of liquid form appeals to me... I could just be sipping a gallon of my homebrew all day to get the desired effect.

That sounds like a pain. The real stuff isn't that expensive, like 13-14 bucks many places on the net. And for me 1 bottle lasts for 5 days, at twice the recommended dosage (which I recommend, 6 / with morning and afternoon meal). So for 13 bucks, I get 5 days worth, which is all you really want anyway. It's not a supplement you take eveyday, to "get ripped", because it is so dependant on diet, and the results are very short lived (until you drink more water).

It's a look good for a pool party type thing (not strong enough for comp IMHO, at least not if you want to place well in an NPC). Drink Tons of water for the first 3 days you take twice the recommended doses. Then on the fourth day, drink half as much, eating carbs in the AM, maybe early PM. On the Fifth day (pool party), still take them, but drink like 3 glasses of water all day, and personally I don't eat many carbs. As soon as you're done, when you drink more water again, the whole thing is over. It's not a supplement you take everyday to look leaner, it really doesn't work that way. I've also found that unless you're below 7%, the results aren't so noticable. But at 5-6%, it can make a big difference. 13 bucks is worth not having to track everything down and take it all seperately. Now if it was $30 or so, that would be different, but it's not.

EDIT: Oh yeah, also for the 5 days I take about 5 Vivarin / day, and on day I take 1-2 G of Vit C, upping it a gram per day until day 5 (showtime), when I'm taking 5 -7 grams. And the morning of, I'll drink some wine and or glycerol.

1. For $21 I can have what I calculated to be a 40-day supply, instead of paying $13 for 5 days. Sounds smart to me... besides I can control the dosages better and add random stuff... but anyway, beside the point.

2. Thanks for your advice on using it, sounds like you've done this a couple of times

3. Yes, it's for the pool-party hot/tub thing, I'm well aware of that
