Friction by VPX

Buy Friction HERE – $27.95

 

Introduction

Friction by VPX Sports is a state of the art pre-workout supplement aimed at sparking extreme intensity during training sessions. Unlike other pre-workout products, Friction comes with 30 full doses – one scoop per dose.

 

How does Friction Work?

Like most pre-workout supplements, Friction comes in a powdered form that mixes easily with water. It is an extremely potent stimulant with thermogenic properties to enhance strength, pumps and intensity in the gym. The following ingredients are incorporated into the Friction blend:

Creatine Monohydrate - Nitrogenous organic acid that helps to supply energy to all cells in the body, primarily muscle. Helps support and promote lean muscle mass.

Beta-Alanine - A non essential amino acid pivotal to increasing muscular strength, power output, muscle mass, and endurance. It is also associated with delay in muscle fatigue – so you can train harder for longer.

Caffeine - Stimulant to keep you alert and focused.

B-Phenylethylamine - A natural monoamine alkaloid which functions as a neuromodulator to enhance mood and wakefulness, as well as, stimulate fat loss.

Yohimbine - An all natural alkaloid with stimulant and aphrodisiac effects.

Halostachine - A stimulating agent with intense thermogenic properties.

Pros and Cons 

Pros:

1. Increased wakefulness, alertness and
focus

2. Significant increases in intensity
and stamina during workouts

3. Delayed onset of muscle fatigue –
train harder for longer.

Cons:

1. Potential overstimulation which is
associated with anxiety and anxiety-related physical symptoms such as elevated
pulse, elevated blood pressure, sweating and abdominal cramps.

2. Increases risk of dehydration.

 

Conclusion

Because Friction by VPX Sports is new to the market, there is a lack of user testimonials. So while Friction has the potential to be a very effective and powerful pre-workout supplement, we can’t be positive as to what users may experience. However, unlike many pre-workouts, Friction only requires one scoop per dose – so it seems that it is extremely potent.

Hyper FX

Click here to buy Hyper FX for only $19.95

 

Introduction

BSN® came up with yet another highly concentrated pre-workout energy booster that is supposed to provide high intensity, endurance, focus and mental alertness to the athletes. It also has fat burning capacity, making it a supplement that can help with weight loss.

 

How does Hyper FX Work?

Hyper FX is an effervescent concentrated fruit flavored drink that contains a number of ingredients combined in a proprietary mix. Listed are just some of the more important components:

 

Beta-alanine boosts synthesis of amino acid carnosine, which is responsible for muscle endurance, strength, muscle mass and prolonged energy.

Taurine is an amino acid that helps regulate the level of salt and water in the blood and has antioxidant properties. Combined with caffeine, it is supposed to boost mental performance and focus, but the findings are controversial.

Adenosine is a nucleotide that plays role in tissue repair and reconstruction and plays an important role in energy transfer.

Choline Bitartrate increases acetylcholine neurotransmitter levels and as such improves mental focus and alertness.

Caffeine is commonly present in all energy supplements as an energy booster.

Bitter Orange Extract is stimulant and appetite suppressant. Its active ingredient synephrine is chemically similar to ephedrine, which is illegal, can cause heart arrhythmias and has been known to cause heart attack in healthy young men.

Toothed (Chinese) club moss, or its active ingredient huperzine, is used for treating memory problems and Alzheimer’s disease. As a supplement it is used to prevent swelling, fever and as a diuretic.

Lesser Periwinkle is used for better blood circulation, especially of the brain. It enhances metabolism in the brain and helps in treatment of cardiovascular diseases. This plant contains more than 50 active alkaloids with different effects.

 

Does Hyper FX Deliver?

This supplement is still very new and there are not too many people who tried and reviewed it, but those who did had positive experience, showing quick energy surge and great focus.

 

How Much Weight Will I Lose?

Several ingredients in this supplement act as appetite suppressant and metabolism boosters, so the potential for the weight loss is there. There is not enough experience with it to know just how much weight one can expect to lose.

 

Side Effects

While no negative side effects have been reported, several ingredients have potential for causing serious health problems, especially synephrine, an active ingredient in bitter orange concentrate. It is always a good idea to consult a physician before starting with a new supplement.  Show your doctor the ingredients and he will tell you if some of them might be counteindicative for your health condition.

 

Pros and Cons 

Pros:

  1. Quick energy boost
  2. Great focus and alertness
  3. Interesting taste

Cons:

  1. None known yet

 

Conclusion

Hyper FX is a veritable soup of powerful active ingredients. It has the potential to deliver what it promises, including weight loss, and the time will tell if it actually offers something different and new from other similar pre-workout supplements.

HydroxyStim Review

October 23, 2011 By 2 Comments

Hydroxystim

HydroxyStim for only $32.95 – BUY NOW

 

Introduction 

HydroxyStim is the latest MuscleTech powerful energy booster and pre-workout stimulant. It is designed to deliver a strong energy surge in order to prolong the workout and enhance its effects. It is not a weight-loss miracle pill, unless the extra energy will entice you to do some extra workout and burn more fat in the process.

 

How does HydroxyStim Work?

HydroxyStim capsules combine five main ingredients, most of them energy boosters.  It works as a thermogenic – it stimulates metabolism by creating heat (energy).  Its main ingredient is Geranium Robertianum, which contains vitamins A, B and C, calcium, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, iron and germanium. Geranium extract is considered an energy booster and fat burner, and it is claimed to produce energy boosts by mimicking adrenaline, but there is no scientific support for this.

Caffeine Anhydrous is the second most important ingredient of HydroxyStim, for a good reason, as it is the most common and popular energy booster.

Dimethylethanolamine or DMAE is also an energy booster. It also shows results in improving alertness and focus and positive affect on mood.

Yohimbine is a powerful stimulant and may aid in weight loss, but has numerous side effects and is strongly counterindicated to people who suffer from kidney, liver or heart disease or any type of psychological disorder.

Huperzine is usually used to boost memory and is supposed to increase focus.

 

 

Do HydroxyStim Capsules Deliver?

The product is too new to have a range of different experiences, but so far people who used HydroxyStim as an energy booster to improve their workout performance are very satisfied. Most reviews confirm manufacturer’s recommendation to take the capsules shortly before the exercise, after a light meal, and not to combine it with any other stimulant. No significant weight loss has been reported, so those who tried HydroxyStim in order to lose weight without putting time in the gym were disappointed.

 

How Much Weight Will I Lose?

HydroxyStim delivers powerful energy boost, which might encourage users to extend their time in the gym. It does not show any effects on appetite, so the only way it will act as weight loss product is by burning energy by exercise.

 

Side Effects

No negative side effects have been reported so far, except by those who are sensitive to large quantities of caffeine. For those, it is recommended to half the dose and not to combine the capsules with any other product containing caffeine, including coffee and tea.

 

Pros and Cons 

Pros:

  1. Great energy boost
  2. Improved focus during exercise
  3. Original combination of ingredients

Cons:

  1. Large quantity of stimulants may cause jitters and over-stimulation
  2. Contains yohimbine, which is counterindicated for people with heart, kidney or liver problems.

 

Conclusion

Hydroxystim contains an original combination of ingredients, all geared towards boosting energy and enhancing performance in the gym. Customers who expect significant weight loss after using Hydroxystim will be disappointed, unless they are ready to combine capsules with regular exercise and healthy diet – the only true and tried recipe for the healthy weight loss.
