I want to boost my workout and I was thinking to get a pre-workout suplement . Jack 3D seems to work for many people , however , I found some articles on internet saying that has meth in it and is not FDA approved .

I kind of got lost in all the arguments pro and con that I found on several sites ,so I am looking for MFP people oppinion:
Do you guys , think it is safe to take it? They are any side effects ? What is your pre-workout supplement ?

I just started working out at the gym , and I am looking for something that can help me have consistent , fast results , without killing me:)

Thank you:)

    It's not the meth you're thinking of. Still, very few supplements are "FDA approved." Take them at your own risk.


    The following is from this website: http://www.jack-3d.com/ingredients:

    1,3-Dimethylamylamine HCl

    1,3-Dimethylamylamine HCl is also known as Methylhexaneamine or DMAA. It is a naturally-occurring constituute of the geranium plant. This plant has long been in the food supply and has traditionally been used for a wide variety of purposes. This particular constitute is a stimulant that provides energy and focus to the user. This is one of the things that separates Jack3d from the rest, and makes Jack3d the best pre-workout drink out there.

    1,3-Dimethylamylamine HCl is safe in small doses. Never exceed recommended dosage and follow directions. Although there are no long-term studies on its usage, it has a long history of safe use.

    We will stay on the lookout for more information on geranamine. Geranium has been safely used as an herbal supplement for centuries, though.

    I don't know about the meth, but I have read that they are planning to pull it from the shelves.

    I've tried it once before, and it made me way too "jacked" - anxious, nervous, and even paranoid. It did give me crazy energy, but not worth the risks.

    I personally like NOExplode on the days I need an extra boost - it isn't a caffeine type boost, it just gives some nice, even energy and strength. Plus it is good for recovery. I don't do it often, maybe once a week on my really hard leg days.

    There's no "meth" in it. The meth that's mentioned is from the DMAA that Spartacus mentioned. Personally, I'm "jacked" all the time I lift, usually from a flood of caffeine. I think it's more attitude, although if you're tired, Jacked 3D would help.

    Yeah I find that a cup of coffee or a sugar free red bull does the trick if I need a little extra boost...that's pretty much it!

    That NoExplode (or however it's spelled) stuff works pretty well too without making you all jittery or anything, if you need a little extra kick in the pants. The only time I really need a boost is if I work out first thing in the morning, and then I just drink a cup of coffee.

    Theyre gonna start pulling products with that D-1.... ingredient off the shelves VERY soon, it just got banned. I personally use a 60 serving tub of Cellucor C4 Extreme but wont be buying anymore pre-workouts supplements when its done. Maybe just some caffeein pills or cup of coffee. Creatine has been studied a lot and is ALWAYS recomended by almost anything you'll read. 5 grams a day. Buy some pure creatine monohydrate. This is a good one. http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/opt/crea.html

    Meth is illegal, maybe it has some amphetamine-like substances in it.....Be careful...I was on prescription Meridia for a year and felt like I was having heart-attacks all the time....and surprise! They banned it.

    DMAA has been banned at WADA events since 2010.

    It is a decongestant with stimulative properties. Many decongestants have similar properties and have been banned by WADA.

    It has NOT been banned by the FDA.

    It MAY be banned by the US military beginning in 2012 - still under review afaik.

    It has DMAA. works great for some people, but makes others crash.


    my favorite preworkout lately has been BSN Hyper FX. It packs almost 300 mgs of caffeine and tastes great.
    way better than no xplode IMO

    I personally take jack3d before workouts and see a major difference in focus, lifts, and energy. I have never felt a crash afterwards and have been using it as directed on label for 3 weeks no side-effects what-so-ever. We have random drug-tests here at my work never had a problem. Just my two cents.

    This is interesting to read, thanks for posting. My fiance just recently brought home a bottle of Jack-3D and I was concerned about the stuff. I will bring up some of these pros and cons to him so he is more aware.

    I've actually tried a few pre-workouts and jack3d by far is one of the BEST out there. The 1st time you take it, you will DEFINITELY get that "Focused-High" and the "Critter tingle" lol which is the beta-alanine kicking in telling your body to "Shoot and Fire!" As long as you're not going "dorm-room" status and taking MORE than what's advised then you'll be fine :) Some people have crashes, some people don't it depends on the person. I personally get a bit of a mood swing on "off" days, but then again I AM A WOMAN and it's in my nature to have those at any given time for no reason lol Also, some people tend to build a tolerance after 3-4 weeks. I definitely suggest cycling off for 2-3 weeks then start back up again to let your body "regenerate" if you come across this or switch it up w/ another PWO. "But it's just advice....you can do whatever the fck u wanna do!" -TMW

    BTW, Gnc's AMP Muscle Igniter 4x orange (powder form) tastes like *kitten* lol Unless you like the taste of butt-hole then I suggest you avoid it lol
