jack3d . . . . have you tried it ?

I used to take Capsiplex but it gives me awful heartburn and stopped working after a while. I did some research and found that Q10 which is naturally found in your body also works at a cell level to help your body make more energy.

Some of us don't make enough and if that's your case Q10 may help, you can get it from health shops like Holland & Barratt and is often recommended to help people with a variety of conditions, unlike most caffeine based pills which only contain caffeine and chemicals not naturally found in our bodies to enhance performance!

first of all its not a nitric oxide product as stated in one of the above post. The primary focus of this supplement is DAA (dimethylamylamine). When this first showed up on the market it was all the rage for a few months. all the supplement companies started adding it to their line of supplements then some negative feedback popped up and almost all the companies that jumped on the bandwagon previously started removing it from their proprietary blends because people were complaining that they did not want that particular compound in their preworkout supplements.

only way to find out is to try it yourself, it might help you with motivation in the gym, but let me tell you a little about my experience with it. I took it about 2 years ago when it first came out. I finished the entire case of jack3d, it makes you feel kind of weird at first, like you want to jump out of your skin kind of almost anxiety attackish. I feel that the energy it gives is short lived, lasted me about an hour and afterward it crashes you a bit. also, from day one I took 2 scoops, the next day 2 scoops I didn't feel...you gotta be careful with this because DAA can have a negative effect on your central nervous system, this is bad. Usually what people do is when they don't feel it at their previous dosage, they would add another scoop and that isn't smart with DAA.

another thing, military bases that have GNC's have banned jack3d. it tests positive for methamphetamine's when soldiers are tested. hope that helps.

Jack3d really didn't do anything for me, but NO Xplode, Black Powder, and NanoVapor did. Call the company and get a free sample to see if you like it before you spend the money on buying a container.

I've used it on days when I'm trying to lift heavy..if you're not looking to put on muscle (which Jack3d really won't do), maybe look into OEP, which will give you energy to get through your running workouts

I like Cellucor C4 Extreme. It's given me a bit more energy.

I used Jack3d for quite a while, and lost 20 pounds while using it. It totally gave me the pump and energy needed to kill a workout! The catch is, though, like an above poster said, you start to need more and more, which is REALLY not healthy (not to mention expensive...). And, as time wore on, I start feeling really crappy with it. It might initially give me the pump when I'd first take it, but then throughout the day I'd feel lethargic, lazy, upset stomach, aggressive and just plain impatient and mean. I 100% believe that was the jack3d making me miserable. I switched to N.O. Xplode, and while I'm still getting used to it, I'm not getting any negative side effects from it yet.

Yes, this product is geared towards muscle development. It's designed to increased blood (oxygen) flow so you can essentially "pump" more at the gym. I don't believe in these products, but you asked not to be lectured, so I won't.

I would look towards taking an energy bar (Clif bars pre workout) that will give you sustained energy throughout workout. You can also take a BCAA product (Like BioSteel) that will help with energy and recovery. Gatorade also makes a during workout drink that will do the trick.

Goodluck,
