A major company looking to steal your formula can afford the tests and analyses to figure out exactly what’s in it. The average Joe, the one putting these things in their body, can’t.
This “studied combination VS open label” is an insanely weak false dichotomy. You can have studies on synergistic formulas while still letting your consumer know what’s in those formulas. It’s a deflection from the issue, nothing more.
Also, we still don’t KNOW it’s a 50/50 mix. I don’t necessarily disbelieve you, but I could make a new account right now called USPlabs2 and post that it’s 95/5, with just as much proof behind my statement as yours.
I could not quantify such a statement. Thankfully there’s enough open formula products out there that I’d rather not spend a month making a list of all of them
Unlike most people, my main ‘concern’ with prop blends is that it can shift from batch to batch or even flavor to flavor. Don’t be baitin’ an switchin’ if raw materials on the first ingredient become costly!!
" Lin et al14 measured the increase in GH following the administration of four metabolized stimuli, delivered either intravenously (insulin and adrenocorticotropic hormone [ACTH]), intramuscularly (glucagon), or orally (L-DOPA). The results for GH increase were greater than our own; however, it should be noted that a high degree of variability also existed. L-DOPA specifically caused an augmentation in GH to approximately 15 ng · mL−1, following a 500 mg oral dose."
" However, it is important to note that the actual L-DOPA amount delivered in our 3 capsule serving of this investigational formulation was lower than the amount provided in the work of Lin et al[14] and Kansal et al,[37] due to a modification in the standardization procedure for the Mucuna pruriens."
“Second, we only included a two hour post ingestion measurement period. Therefore, while it appears as though GH was on the decline at the 120 minute collection time (Fig. 1), we cannot confidently comment on the response beyond this two hour period. Furthermore, we cannot conclude on the long-term health and performance effects that this transient increase in GH might provide.”
Not to mention with no mention of the extraction or standardization, even that can change without anyone knowing; going from, say, 50% L-DOPA to an unstandarsized extract with potentially very little L-DOPA.
Since the new Powerfull is literally the same product as it was before, at least from what I read, I may just make it active again (it is marked as discontinued right now). I would just have to change the pic on it.
It already has 45 reviews on SR with many of them being positive.
