Megapumps Sulbutiamine (Smart energy) review

Heres a cut and paste of what the product is

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++

-Description-

Sulbutiamine (isobutyrylthiamine disulfide) is a novel fat soluble derivative of vitamin B-1 (thiamine) that rapidly and quickly crosses the blood-brain barrier.

Developed by the amazing French pharmaceutical company Servier under the name Arcalion for mental and physical exhaustion.

It has been shown to promote wakefulness, anti fatigue, long-term memory, improve response to stress, and have a positive effect on mood.

Sulbutiamine 300 mg 60 capsules

-Neurochemical effects-

: Enhances working and episodic memory (through NDMA modulation)

: Acts on the nervous structures responsible for physical activity, attention, and wakefulness

: Helps tired organs to recover its mental and physical capacities

: Improves motor coordination and resistance to muscular fatigue and awakening state

: Modulates dopaminergic and glutamatergic cortical transmissions (raises mental alertness)


-Dose-

300-600 mg daily with a snack or meal containing fat.

-When can I feel it?-

Can be noticed within a few hours to a week.

Studies: http://www.mindandmuscle.net/forum/i...howtopic=29336


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++

I recieved this product as a promotion and as I told Steve I will be honest in reviewing it. I thank Steve for the oportunity to do so. This is Unique Nutritions Sulbutiamine and can be shipped to Australia. You can get it from here http://www.uniquenutrition.net/shop/item.asp?itemid=557 or in a 4 pack here http://www.uniquenutrition.net/shop/item.asp?itemid=573

If I could go back I would have and made a daily log but nevermind i ll break it down as best I can and sum it up.

Firstly i ll share with you guys what iv been taking with Sulbutiamine which could have an added effect. Personally I think they all act synergisticly but take the Sulbutamine away and there would be a significantly noticable missing piece.

Im taking along with Sulbutiamine

Ginkgo biloba
B complex
Fish oil
* One of the doses is the above and the other is without the B complex but with an added multi vitamin.

All of the above help with brain fuction but none are anywhere near as noticable as Sulbutiamine.

Iv also started taking St Johns wart inconsistantly for well being and a fat burner here and there.


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++


Day 1 -

Fisrt day I took it I was out all day and missed a meal and then ended up binge eating on KFC after weeks of clean eating. I took 1 standard dose of 300mg (1 cap) and having eaten KFC I would have thought it would not have worked well.

The first thing I noticed was that I was slightly wide eyed and alert, I though ahh thats pretty cool and im liking it already. To my recolection I cant remember any other major effects apart from a slight increase in brain function? but not that im disapointed.


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++


Day 2 - 3

Seeing as though a single dose didnt have any negative effects I thought stuff it im keen and ended up downing two 300mg doses.

Positive effects noted where a higher degree of focus and concentration, and also some increse in verbal articulation. Over all this wasnt a drastic change but it was significant enough to be appreciated, noted and liked. Over all its two thumbs up


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++


Day 4 -

I decided that I liked this product and was very pleased to be taking it. I then though instead of a double dose maybe a single dose twice daily would be the go. Maybe this way would be better for absorbtion seeing as though its fat soluable. I think I had one dose with eggs and the other with steak. This day I took it with a fat burner because I didnt want the St Johns wart tiring me.

Kabooom this is awsome, today was such a good day. My verbal articulation was up, I was more social and words came and where put together so nicely. Over all since the second day of use iv also noted that im more humorous with my witty jokes. Today thoughts are comming quicker and words are being spat out (nicly) faster. I feel more socialable, humorous and mentally stronger not only in an interlectual way but in charactor. Also things seem much clearer and my mind seems like its just woking better. As a matter of fact im almost on a high. Im energetic both metally and physicly. Now dont forget iv also had a single dose of a fat burner containing synephorine.

Now here is the funny bit and this is a 100% true story. I got told "whats up with you today you have gone all smart" and that im being a smarty with my jokes. I also got told that im power triping but that he liked it (the attitude maybe). I dont want to be seen as power tripping though.

Now mind you I have also made a phycological change (sulbutiamine free) and am really seeing life differntly, im also living life with a differnt attitude. That mental change itself has created a charactor change or strengthening.

Today im loving Sulbutiamine and hope it lasts forever. Im thinking maybe i ll be a Sulbutiamone addict


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++


Day 5 -

Same dose of one cap twice daily with some fat like canned tuna in oil and drained. Im finding this is a better way to use it and I really dont want to cut back to one cap a day because the two is so much fun.

Again

Verbal articulation
Wide eyed and awake
Thinking clearer
Focused
Energetic, I think this point I havnt taked about much and definatly deseves a mention. Its a mental energy and physical even without the fat burner.
Faster and sharper
Better mood
More social
How can I explain but brain feels like its functioning better


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++


Day 6 and 7

Im expecting the same and today had some element of environmental stress but it just didnt seem to work as well as the previous day. Was a little disapointed but only a little, maybe it was that it didnt absorb well with the fat ?? I dont know but it raised the question of does the brain build a tolerance to it. I personally dont really want to know and if someone says the Placibo effect may take over well I dont care as long as I feel this way. This supplement or should I say drug ? is not a case of placibo effect, no chance of it, 0. It works, for how long I dont know?


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++


Day 8 -

Today I wanted to get that effect of an enhanced mind again and im working over time today, its going to be my 8th day straight.
I must admit I kind of didnt feel confident in the Subutiamine because I had a time of stress yesterday which may have inhibeted my brain fuction and that may have thrown me off. This could be why it didnt work so well.

So today I took 1 Sulbutiamine and I cracked open the bottle of my Piracetam and tried it for the first time taking 2 caps and put two caps in my pocket for later on.

Yahooo im rocking again, verbal articulation and brain working a treat to sum it up. Im also feeling more social and talkative and energy is there. Dont forget I only ever took the fat burner on day 4.

So basicly im happy again with these products, very happy.


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++


Now for side effects or negatives. well the good news is there arnt no side effects. The only thing I am noticing is since the first day of taking Sulbutiamine im sleeping longer, between 9-10 hours! I think thats a lot but im also waking up feeling very tired as I wake. I must admit my sleep cycle is greatly improved, I would say significant and yes I am a shift worker. The only other side effect is today or should I say right now that my Jaw hurts from chewing on a chewing gum maybe. I feel like I want to clentch down on my jaws. I think because of the Piracetam and the Subutiamine made my brain go faster and made me chew harder. I definatly found some pain in chewing the gum at the time. Right now I feel like my brain is still roilling on and on. I wonder how ill sleep. I think ill sleep fine.

As far as workouts go, I dont know if its changed anything. I think it has and I havnt even known it. Now the brain and the mind is interconected, hence mind muscle conection. I have been using creatine but lately iv been getting really good pumps and am looking bigger than ever. I get excited and hyped about going to the gym and focus is good. Concitration would be better and thats very valuable in putting your mind in the muscle but that would take a concintrated focus on that.

As far as memory goes I cant really comment but im definatly not forgeting anything. I would say my general short term memory isnt very good but at this point come to think of it I think my memory has improved. (Smiles because he just realised that this second)




At this point I think Sulbutiamine is great at 1-2 caps per day and next week will be a great test when I do my 04:30am starts. I look forward to that.

Took yesterday off and noticed the differnce without Sulbutiamine. I noticed a drop in mental and physical energy and goes to show that Sulbutiamine really is an effective product with significant results. A point to consider is that I did just work 8 days straight, I wonder how i go next time I work 7 days straight and continue use on days off? I ll have to try that next time.

So far I would say that Sulbutiamine works quickly within an hour but the full effect is reached in a few days with the two caps per day. This would however vary from person to person and is not my conclusion.

Last night I couldnt sleep at all because I got use to staying up at nights and trying to sleep at 10pm didnt work. Without getting into it this is not Sulbutiamine related because I havnt even used any in two days. Now staying up later than usuall for that week may or may not be Sulbutiamine related, at this point I would say its not. Long story short I probably got 1-2 hours of sleep at the very most and the rest was just shut eye and tossing and turning.

Today I took 1 dose in the morning about 330am with two egg yokes and the other another 3 1/2 hours after that. I supprisingly woke not tired and felt pretty awake and not tired even without supplementation.

I took the first dose with 200mg of "no doze" which is two standard teaspoons of coffee, a Sulbutiamine, Multi, Ginkgo and Fish oil and a 10 minute cycle on the stationary bike.

Today I didnt feel tired at all even with the few hours sleep. I think mental energy and my brain was definatly awake. I cant say I had the same effect as day 4 and 5 but im still happy with the results considering the circumstances. After a few more days trial I can firmly say it does wake the brain up. Actually I honstly think my brain was working much more efficiently at that ungodly hour of the morning 0430am-0630am. At about 0830 I was yorning and did feel like I could have had another coffee but I went without and was fine, but yes there was a little energy slump but that was my body needing to catch up on rest. By 1100am and after a small power nap of 10 minutes at 1200 my brain was wanting to shut off and just need sleep. No added supplementation of Sulbutiamine or cofee or anything to keep me going because its not needed or wanted. I just need rest to recooperate.

What I will touch apon today is that I feel really good taking Sulbutiamine. there is a sence of well being and increased mood. Im definatly in a better mood and fell more talkative. I also feel more confident. This is another effect that I havnt really stressed on but its been aparent since the first use almost. I feel really good on it, almost euphoric at times.

Last night I had planned to take two cap and one extra if I needed it. So thats a total of 900mg which would be my highest dose yet. I took one cap 300mg and when it came time to take the second one I didnt need or want it. That in its self was a great feeling to get such a good effect from just one cap. I later took the second one for no real reason about 3 hours later and that was it.

My faith in Sulbutiamine has returned. I respond to it well at normal doses. I noticed on the Unique nutrition web page of Sulbutiamine says to take 1-4 caps daily from 1-2 caps daily and thats what it says on the bottle. That goes to show higher doses 600mg+ per day is perfectly safe. Im hearing of people taking 1.8g with no head aches. I wonder what 3-4 caps would be like but I dont think im game enough to take it at work for fear of being ephoric or something. I dont want people to think im on something. Then again if you find a nice happy dose which I have why push it further and push yourself over the line. Sometimes too much of a good thing makes it not so good. I also want to stay sensitive and resposive to it. I have read a study on bipola patiants with sulbutiamine addictions that require higher doses. This "may" say that sulbutiamine has potential addictive properties that may lead to the need for larger doses. I ll chase that study up.

Today was terrable. I havnt felt this bad in a long while. Physicly apart from work I havnt been very active in the gym and even worse iv been eating very poorly and have no interest in the gym or exsercise until the end of my morning shifts.

My diet for the whole day yesterday was
-Whey shake, bannana
-Cereal (6 hours later)
-Red rooster (quater chicken and chips, strip sub role, coke)

I slept an hour after work yesterday and took a 5htp and st johns wart to help me sleep again that night. I sleeped very well for 2 hours and woke bright and refreshed thinking I just sleeped until the next day. I rewoke again about 3 and 4 hours after that awake and fresh again and then again at 0330am which is the normal time except this time I felt tired and slow.
The tired slow feeling lasted the whole day. I felt like my mind was really unwoken and had no mental energy at all. I havnt felt like this in a long time, and yesterday was a hard day at work.




To sum it up I felt VERY tired, mentaly slow, unmotivated, stressed, and with very low mental and physical energy.

I only took 1 cap of 300mg and took another with me and it didnt have a great effect. Silly me thought that would be enough but today I think I needed a LARGE dose between 900mg - 1200mg considering the circumstances. My mental energy was very low all day and Sulbutiamine didnt help wake my brain very well. It did help some but not like I needed it too. I should have taken 4 caps today. Never mind tommorow I will be prepared with my 4 caps and Piracetam.

================================================== ================================================== =============
Today iv noted no great change or help in mental energy, physical or awakening of the brain. The change was a subtle one and required a larger dose. Variables being maybe sleep cycle, interupted sleep, stress and fatigue. Today was also the hardest day this year without question. It was like the equvalent of being physicly sick. In a way I was probably unwell to work and could of taken it off sick due to fatigue. 600mg (300mg x 2) of Sulbutiamine did not correct things.
================================================== ================================================== =================

Heres that study that may sugest Sulbutiamine may have addictive qualities.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++

Sulbutiamine, an 'innocent' over the counter drug, interferes with therapeutic outcome of bipolar disorder.

Douzenis A, Michopoulos I, Lykouras L.

Department of General Hospital Psychiatry, Athens University Medical School, Attikon Hospital, Greece.

A case of a patient with bipolar disorder with a history of hospitalizations and addiction to sulbutiamine is presented. Sulbutiamine is a precursor of thiamine that crosses the blood-brain barrier and is widely available without prescription in most countries or over the internet. Because of this patient's need to consume ever increasing quantities of sulbutiamine, his psychiatric care was severely compromised through him defaulting appointments and frequent changes of psychiatrists. This paper reviews the current scientific knowledge about sulbutiamine, and some of the information and claims available on the web about its use and potential. It is argued that doctors need to be aware of the potential misuse of medication available over the counter or on the internet and its potential harmful influence.

In regards to the previous day I would say the only thing that would have got me going would have been an amphetamine. Or maybe very large doses of Sulbutiamine. Maybe 1.2g and then another 2-3 caps later on.

Anyway moving on to today.

I took 600mg in the morning 0345am with 1 Piracetam. Then another 600mg and 1 Piracetam at around 1030am. I didnt feel like I needed any more but I thought I better just in case. It wasnt until about 1100am that I felt what I wanted and by 1200 it had kicked in. A bit late which may mean two things. One, I need to eat more fat with the first dose, but that raises the question of why didnt I need to other days, and two I need a stronger dose because its not working well over the past two days. I think I should also not rely or wait for it to happen, or to "feel" but just go about my day and let it happen subtly. I think because I had a lot of faith in it I expected it to do a great job with an average dose on one of the hardest days of the year, and thats not going to happen. Tommorow I will take I higher dose and just go about my day. What ever happens, happens.

Im going to take a nice stack tommorow just for fun and that will be the end of my daily log. Instead of boring you all with a daily log i ll make it a weekly wrap up. That way its more general and solid and I can tell you how it works over all.

Im going to take
3 sulbutiamine caps 900mg
2 Piracetam caps 1600mg
Multi vitamin
Ginkgo
Fish oil
Coffee 200mg (2 tea spoons)

Then 2 Sulbutiamine caps 600mg
and 2 Piracetam caps 1600mg
B complex
Coffee 100mg (standard Cofee)

Today will be the last day of my 04:30am starts and I cant wait for this is going to be cool

Took 4 days off, one of those days I took some Piracetam and 300mg of Sulbutiamine.

After a short break im getting the full effects again with minimal dosages.

+++Wednesday 1st August+++

600mg Sulbutiamine (2 caps)
Ginkgo
Fish oil
Multi
Fat burner
Super Lecithin (153mg PC)

About 6hrs later took 300mg Sulbutiamine with a B complex

Full effects are back.

Was stimulated up until the night. Sulbutiamine really dose promote wakefullness. Going by previous days during my morning shift I would say its not as strong as an amphetamine that will work drasticly like an amphetamine does, but it does have amphetamine attributes. I wouldnt rely on Sulbutiamine in hopes to wake you up, give you mental/physical energy and keep you going but would do what it takes as if one were not taking anything. Take sulbutiamine more as an aid.

+++ Thursday 2nd August +++

Yesterday went well, didnt feel the need to take two caps today so I only took 300mg with

Ginkgo
Multi
Fish oil (1g)
St johns wart and
Energy pill this time
Super Lecithin

Second dose was another single 300mg Dose with a B complex

After the first dose by the time I got to work which was about 1 hour and a half later I felt great, energetic, talkative, confident, social. Sulbutiamine gives me quicker reaction time and quicker thoughts and verbal fluidity.

I found Sulbutiamine a good "enhancement" for me today and the energy pill would of helped with the energy and alertness. Other variable in regards to the above effects would be the energy pill which contains Guarana and some synepherine as main ingredients, maybe some placibo effect?
