Atro-Phex : The Log

[what.gives]

i haven't had any sides, currently taking one before breakfast and one before lunch, there's no need to start out with two twice a day, the directions on the big red box are there for a reason, everyone's tolerance is different...

[DeafStud]

I bought it at GNC yesterday and it suck that i paid $20 more than I could on bb

LOL

Anyway I read all the pros and cons...here and see my verdict below..

I was considering ONLY doing to do the 2x per days max and I wasn't going to mess with any other caffiene product.

My concerns are these... it doesnt list the amount of caffeine that they load each pill with. Does ANY of yall know how much caffeine is in the Atro-phex caps?

I am not going to follow their stack because I am one of those people that are very picky about what I use in my body to lose weight.

I am getting the feeling the atro-phex product are for folks who want a ripped body in 30 to 60 days.

This product have a boatload of chemicals in it!! Some good and some ??? and some like playing russian roulette if you WERE NOT given a clean state of health and mind by a DR - meaning you got to fit the BNC's profile.

However I notice it have two source of caffeine - yohimbe and green tea oops make that 3 sources of Caffiene!!! hmmm Well it could be a good thing or a bad thing - but that is what seem to be keeping yall up at night.

I rather go for one in the morning and one prior to workout and that it. For me that would be 5:30 am and 11:00 am

Upon further reading the box it said the product contains synephrine! Dang that chemical alone can be the cuplirt of an instant elevated blood pressue.

Unfortunately I am going have to take this back to the store tomorrow - because I have a pre-exisiting health issue - high bp and I am taking indapamide. (water pill because I have hypertension - this would just be a quick trip to the grave for me ugh ugh i gonna have to pass cuz it have a bad interaction due to the content of atro-phex containing vincamine and indapamide and vincamine doesnt go together.

Grant I am trying to loose weight so I won't have to worry about high bp and hypertension but dang thanks to the OP for posting this article.

And I get the impression it for folks who are only trying to lose 5 to 10 lbs not half their body weight like me.

Moral be careful and do understand what the chemicals are before you put it in your mouth so you don't have any interaction that could be fatal or send you the the ER.

OP ..AronP24.. thanks for opening my eyes and indirectly saving my life... I heard about this product in Men's Health magazine - thought it would something that would assist me but unfortunately it is not for me......

So the verdict is... back to the store unopened because this stuff is "crack"
and got too many variable and unknown. It would been nice without the triple caffeine and chemicals that can create chaos with your heart and nerves.

For those whom are on it - please be sure not to get ADDICTED to it.

Errr I may attempt to use this when I want to get that CUT definition but that wont happen until i get 20 lbs of my goal weight of 140 for my height and size.

you are SPOT on with being worried about them shoving this product full of stims from multiple sources...along with everything else known to the weight loss/bb community...and after the recent claims and ingredients of BSN products have been questioned I would stay FAR FAR away from this product

[Mike83]

I am currently taking this stuff, its strong! I gave my friend 2 pills one night to give him energy while he was drinking, already drunk (well 2 friends, 2 pills each) They both could not sleep all night till 12am and one friend had trouble next few days!

Well, for me I am big, and have high tolerance for these types of products. So I am taking 4 pills 2 twice daily usually. Im not really a fan of the water loss ingredients in this, I think thats why I get headaches sometimes, even though I drink gallons of water daily!

[Mike83]

I would not take those claims to heart yet, BSN is a major company just like Muscletech and has too much to lose to do something stupid like this..

Im friends with a bsn rep and he explained to me about the situation. Its not what everyone thinks. I trust believe bsn and used cellmass with great results.

[plavuk]

i threw half of the box away, it sucked bad. no weight loss, minimal energy and i had serious depression.

[AbercrombieStud]

How long can you run this for consistently without it having diminishing effects or wearing off? I've ran leviathan and the effect went away after like 4 weeks.

[fourminutes]

It's been awhile since there's been any replies to this log but here's my experience with Atro phex..

I've only taken a few supplements for fat loss and muscle gain, and I didn't take any consistently until about December when I began MHP Anadrox. I stopped taking anadrox for a month and I just recently, this past week started atrophex. Let's put it this way--I just discovered this site today because I was worried about the effects I've been having. At 150 lbs, I've been taking 8 of these a day since Monday. Consequently, the effects have been disastrous. The only other fat burners I've taken are the Anadrox, and with those taking 8 a day was fine. After reading these reviews, obviously I'm going to cut down on the 8 a day. I've been having violent mood swings, feelings of depression and anger at myself, little sleep, and every now and then an odd lift for about an hour at a time. bahah..needless to say my spring break has been horrible. I rarely wanna go out, see people, do homework, or go to work. The apetite supression has been crazy..nothing really tastes good anymore, but not to sure if i would call that a "pro". Humm sometimes I get nauceous right after i take em..just a gross feeling in my throat.

Anyway..I was planning on cutting down on them today, and now that I read these i definately am going to..maybe 2 max 4 a day. I already took 4 this morning before going to the gym and coming on this site. Maybe I won't even take a 2nd dosage.

[newsledder]

Yeah I personally take 2 pills about a half hour after my workout and thats it..

I will say this tho.... I have been taking atro for 1 week and I have had NO side effects and I am seeing results (minor) but still results. Best way to descride the results is it looks like my skin is being sucked in to show more definition, muscles stand out a little more. I like it and will continue to take them at 2 x 1 a day (afterworkouots so as to not mis with my NO products).

[fourminutes]

yeah im taking 3 a day now..2 in the morning and another around, 2-4 o clock. i don't want to kill myself anymore--and ive been sleeping fairly well. i don't really know about seeing results yet, its only my 7th day on it but maybe a little bit.

[h4rdc4se]

hmm... maybe you just have a bad reaction to it. I'm on my second box straight at 4x4 prepping for a contest in Iraq in the SUMMER!!! The only thing is I have to drink 10-12 litres of water a day. And, even though I'm doing a sodium load... mah abs look better than the pictar!

But yeah, in a hummv, in 120degree heat, in an IBA, for four hours at a time... you drink about 4 litres.

[robinsonmi9906]

Hey I noticed many men posted their experience with it but for any gals out there:

I didn't like this at all! I found myself to be insanely bi-polar, (happy, sad, mad, happy, crying) my pee reeked the way the supplement smelled, I had trouble sleeping, sweat a lot and felt paranoid... Not to mention my fiance and I fought more during my time using this than in our entire relationship. I tried using it for 3 weeks, and unforntunatly a week into it I started getting naseous and the last time I used it was the time I puked 15 minutes after taking it on an empty stomach. I started with 1 pill 2X a day, and then was at 2 pills, 2X a day.

I'm on Lipo 6 right now and I love it! I'm sane again, and my mood is consistantly happy. Plus, my hearts not racing, I can sleep and pretty much every side I had from Atro is reversed with this.

May the force be with anyone that tries this supplement!

[innerstrength07]

I have been on this product for just over 3 weeks now, the early morning does taken about 3:30 AM seems to inhance the mood and increase energy but the afternoon does seems to be tappering off with the energy effect, its almost as if I don't even take it in the afternoon.



Keep Training

[Mr.Farang]

this atro-phex.......looks interesting.

[Grr287]

i just started my 2nd week of taking atro-phex. i've upped the dose to 2 pills twice a day and I haven't had any problems or side effects. I sleep fine, my appetite is suppressed in the fact that I can wait substantially longer between meals, i have started to notice a little more definition in my biceps, i feel more energized and don't need my daily nap (college student = lots of free time lol). My veins seem to be protruding a little more. I think for a lot of people the side effects can be entirely mental, especially after reading this particular thread. O well, just my thoughts, hopefully this product keeps working so i can be more cut by the summer. good luck to everyone taking this and keep us updated

I was a little intimidated to do so! Anyway, here's my experience w/ the Atrophex thus far.
Some things you should know about me is that I'm very much a light weight when it comes to stimulant products. I get seriously wired from soda. I don't even mess around with coffee because even if i drink it in the mornng I will be up at night. The last stimu supplement I tried several years ago was Hydroxycut and I took it for maybe a week and though my heart was going to explode.
I started a BSN stack on 3-17. I used Atrophex, Lean Dessert Protein, Cheater Relief (barely-totally wasted my $$), a multi-vitamin, and sometimes my hubby's Syntha-6. I totally expected to be out of my mind using this product b/c the ingredients seemed ridiculous but surprisingly it has been great.
I take 1 pill in the morning and 1 in the afternoon. I am not up at night.
I have noticed that I'm like supernaturally focused and the good mood reported is no joke. While I am eating a clean diet and working my ace off in the gym I have been surprised that I am not hungry- a girl like me is always hungry. Furthermore after the first month of use I was down 10 lbs! That's kind of a big deal for a female; esp me. Little over a yr or so ago I lost like 47lbs and it NEVER came off that quick even though my diet and all the other variables were in place- I painstakingly waved goodbye to each and everyone of those lbs. Anyway, i plan to use the product for 3 months. I'll give another update after 5-17 for all u females who might care. You can check out what I was working w/ to start on my bodyspace btw.

[Ninabeena]

I did think of two cons from using this product

I noticed that when i take it in the morning I need to drink LOADS of water with it in order to avoid a heartburn like feeling
I went away for one weekend and my schd got all out of whack. i didn't take it for a couple days and I have to admit I was really down in the dumps. I didn't really make the connection then b/c female time was upon me as well (sorry fella's i know you don't want to hear this ish!lol) but even for that my mood was severely out of control.
Those are my two neg. experiences. Apparently, not neg enough to make not want to use it.

[theDeviousOne]

so question mate, i bought some and i tried 1 pill and noticed slight raise in tempature and kind of a giddy mood :P.

but it didn't last for long

how should i be taking this,

2 pills in the morning before a meal and 2 pills 30 minutes at midday before my workout?

[laxordie]

I had a pretty good experience with this product. I just finished my pack of atro-phex. I have taken Lipo-6 and Hot rox, and this was the best I have taken so far. I only take it during the week as to not mix the ingredients with alcohol and it has still be great for me. My skin looks tighter and I can see a greater definition in my midsection. I also have seen some vascularity increase in my arms. I take mine 2 pills before breakfast, 2 before lunch 5 hours later and then my NO-Xplode before I workout. I haven't had any problems with sleeping or any depression effects. After I take it I get that burning sensation in my throat from the thyroid stim. I just make sure I drink plenty of water and this goes away. I do find myself feeling a little sick if I wait more than 30 mins to eat after I take the pills. Usually about 20 mins after taking them I get a "high" feeling as well. I have't had any experience with a temp rise or excess sweating. I even tried 6 pills a few times and didn't see any difference between taking 6 and 4. Overall it was pretty good though.

[jukeoncampus]

Hey, just wanted to throw my input in on this supp. Just took my first dose today right before a workout with a half scoop of No-X (I know, Aron, it's risky =P) and had the best arm workout of my life. I haven't had any No-X in about 2 months, so that's the cause of the low dosage. Anyways, the gym is flooded (I live in Cedar Falls, IA...damn floods are horrible), so I had limited resources (the basement) but I was able to crank out more reps at a solid weight than I've ever been able to. I'm not sure which helped the workout, the No-X or Atro-Phex, but right after my mood was SKY HIGH. I see what they mean about mood enhancement, I was flying. We'll see what the crash is like, if I even get one...I took one pill 30 min pre-workout, and I'll try another today at 330. If this gets the thread going again, I'll post how it works out for me as time goes on.

[jukeoncampus]

Just had my second workout with AP, including a half scoop of No-X...last time I take AP pre-workout; a monstrous pain in the back of my head came out of nowhere as i was struggling to get the last reps out of each set. Never had that happen before, so I'm sure it was the AP...but I'm still gonna stay on it, at least for a full week, to see if there's any physical improvement. More updates to follow.

[Mike1208]

So I have been on AP for almost a week now as well, and noticed good results. I am prolly around 180-185, 6f tall, 21 and have a diet of around 3k cals with the appro amount of protein and carbs. One note to those looking to try just make sure you consume the water like everyone is saying. I try to drink 1-2 gallons a day, and I never get the mood swings/headaches that people talk about. As far as energy goes AP isnt bad, but not the best; at least for now (im on my first week). Noticed slightly more energy during class and throughout the day, however I sometimes have trouble getting to sleep when I want to. Not sure when you guys take yours but I take 2 in the morning when I wake up with breakfast, then 2 after class which is around noonish before I go work out. Honestly Im not really sure when to take it but this seems to be working. If anyone wants to know anything about it, just pm me and I will help out with what I can. I believe this is a decent product to loose 1-2% bf, but prolly no more than that.

[GTRider245]

I have read this thread twice over the past few days and I am glad I found it before I ordered the Atrophex. Alot of good info here.

I am going to give it a try. I tried Hydroxycut 2 years ago and didn't like it at all. I took CellMass a few months ago and liked it overall.

My question is, some people are stacking the AP and NOX together. I thought about doing this until I read on here. Yet some still use this stack. What gives? What are the issues?

If nothing else I will trying the AP and CellMass after workouts.

[theDeviousOne]

try it, for me it is a very very solid product, no side effects with a high dosage.

[jgill5]

Okay here is my very personal question/problem.

I have been taking atro phex for a few weeks now. I take it in the morning (one pill) then two in the afternoon around 3pm.
I can feel the "good mood" enhancers and the caffeine and blah blah blah but does anyone have trouble urinating? I know it sounds personal and weird but after taking this it is so hard to pee and I drink a ton of water (120 oz+) and I have to strain to pee. I have to go a lot but this doesn't seem normal.
I stopped taking atro phex for a few days and I could pee normal.

Please if anyone has had this while on atro phex tell me.

[bigwerm]

im currently deployed and i thought id give it a try. i tried Animal Cuts and saw nothing off of 1 tin. i Actually gained weight while taking cuts. anyway sep 1st: 2 upon rising. mood increase was slight as well as energy and focus. overall seemed pretty good. key is obviously WATER as it is with everything else when it comes to the headaches. i found im drinking alot more water though. im gonna increase it to 3 pills just to see the effects. will repost with results. of course different results with everyone but anyone similiar to 5'10" 195 lbs trying to cut up. side note: when i burp, it tastes like no-xplode like everyone else mentioned. diet is not as clean as others but i eat outta the "chow hall" and i try to get the healthiest food they serve. ex: rice and chicken and a vegetable of some sort. (too "jgill5". no peeing problems at all. i actually drank in the range of 48 oz. before i had to pee like an hour later. although i am in the desert.)

[mpguy84]

Im also currently deployed in Iraq and had some free time to hit the gym. Started off at 235lbs and 28% BF and 6 months later im at 190lbs and 11% bf since 5 days ago. I used Hydroxycut Hardcore for about 2 months and just bought Atrophex tonight. Im doing the rock hard challenge found in muscle and fitness mag. On month 3, week 2 at the end. I work out for about 2 hours and then im up for an hour before i go to bed....

I eat clean, as clean as i can like bigwerm mentioned here at the chow hall...

Wake up - Protein shake and 5g glutamine
Before work or right at work - Special K with 2 skimmed milk, mens health vitamins
2 hours after - Tuna
2 hours after - snickers marathon bar and granola bar
2 hours after - Dinner, usually chicken with some veggies
2 hours after - Salad with light dressing
2 hours after - Dinner again
Pre work out - Protein Shake, glutamine, Morph, lysine, fish oil, amino acids
Post work out - double protein shake, glutamine, lysine, amino acids, creatine
Pre sleep - Casein protein shake

Ive been losing a steady 3% body fat for 3 months now!

I have very very very limited cheat meals, maybe a bite of a cookie!

I drink around 16, 20oz waters in a day.

Hopefully this product will get me down to the 8% im looking for!

Ill post results as much as i can

Wish me luck

Yeah man, I would defiantly cut that dose down if it is becoming that bad. I am about your age and weight/height and when I took cytolean more than 4 in a day really messed me up. I cut back to two or three and just figured even if it took longer per say, I would not feel like crap. I took that dose for two months and still got to my goal so just be careful with those high doses. Since you have only been taking it since monday in that dose you probably won't have to wean yourself off/down as much, too.

[Jonny87]

Hey wats up guys?

aron amazing log by the way and good work with all the input from everyone else, best atro phex thread on the internet by far

so 8 weeks into my body rebuilding cycle for summer supping with Syntha 6 and No-Xplode gained 9lbs current weight being 146 height 5"5 age 22
i wouldnt call 9 lbs huge gains considering most could just be water weight lol however after reading this thread begining to end i decided to give the AtroPhex a try

just started my cycle this week and have been trying to find the sweet spot of when and how many to take so i started with just one during the day barely any energy felt like i took a multi, the next day tried 2 as soon as i woke up, appetite supression was insane as someone else had said, i didnt feel like eating for hours but then the bad part came along, huge crash at around 3-4pm ended up sleeping before taking NO and going to the gym

Today 2 pills at around 3pm like aron had said earlier, works wonders, its around 8:30 right now just got back from gym taking 2 scoops of NO and 1 syntha 6 shake post workout, great energy during workout however this possibly due to the NO

we shall see if i am up tonight......!! hopefully not, 8am class approaches quickly

I really have no idea how this log would help you decide to take Atro-phex. The negative reviews are here in ridiculous amounts compared to positive. I really suggest you run something else. I ran my own log on this product and it destroyed me mentally. I rarely see a supplement that has more negative reviews than positive, so maybe take that as a sign. If you do continue to run this, make sure you get off it at the first sign of depression/paranoia
