DREN Sample Review

Ok, well I received a sample of DREN and tried it a few days ago. It was 2 pills.

I took 1 pill on 2 separate days (with 1 day in between).

The first dose I took, I had noticable energy/focus/drive, all that good stuff. It really gave me a positive feeling whereas I almost never feel much if anything from stimulant type products. The effects lasted just about 4 and a half hours, at which point I noticed some drop off. One thing that was very pronounced was the appetite suppression. It was quite strong. Needless to say, I was really looking forward to the next trial of DREN!

After a day off, I was up for the second dose of DREN. Unfortunately, the capsule was damaged - the pill looked like it was crushed by the dull side of a knife. It wasn't cut all the way open, but there was definitely some powder that leaked out of the capsule. There could have been some strong placebo effect (I probably felt like there was a lot less active ingredient). But, I did not feel much appetite suppression, although I had some higher than normal energy. although the effects did not last nearly as long.


All in all, DREN has my interest. I felt strong drive with the first dose and very noticable appetite suppression. However, the second dose just left me high-and-dry. So, it's hard for me to draw conclusions at this point, but I will be checking out other logs to see how it looks !

I had a similar experience. The first cap I noticed subtle, but long last energy with pretty good euphoria. Took a second cap the next day and noticed nothing.

Are you asking what I experienced as far as crashing?
