So after all the hype and what not about this 'phenominal' pre=work out supplement i have to say it's bunk!!!
I was ready to destroy chest & triceps today and you know what...i did!!!! Before my workout i took 2 heaping scoops, yes heaping as in not rounded off, and chugged it down. Taste was okay but that is not the point here.
After my workout i felt really weird driving home. No energy what so ever and just drained. Granted i had a killer workout so i thought it was from that.
When i got home however things started to change. I became very sick to my stomach, no appetite, could of blowed chunks, fatigued, drained, lethargic, aka I CRASHED MY ASS OFF!!!!!!!!!!!
Not cool. It took about 2 hours for my crash to finally dissipate. It was horriible and not a good feeling at all.
I have done just fine with other pre-work drinks before like Superpump Xplode and Black Powder. Jack3d is utter crap!

Yeah man just use a little less. I used 3 scoops monday/wed/friday and have had no problems except I think it's potency is already starting to wear off. Didn't really feel it Friday. Hopefully just a bad day.

make sure and shake the container prior to each use to redistribute ingredients
if you don't do this then your servings won't have the same amount of stims... in other words, you'll have days with more stims in your drink than other days... and you might think it's not working anymoreLast edited by michaelarmenta; 11-21-2009 at 06:43 PM.

OP you took too much. Try using 1.5 scoops (not heaping either)

I read somewhere that about 10% of users experience a crash when using geranium, and if you're one of those people, you may not want to use Jack3d, however, calling it "bunk" because it doesn't work for you when it works for plenty of others is a little short sighted. I would say start out with 1 scoop, as is recommended, and see if it alleviates the crash. If not, try something else, geranium might not be for you. Personally though, I love it. Best PWO I've ever used.

PS--Directions do not read heaping scoop which can easily put you at close to three scoops...

Jack3d is great, and I had no crash. First day I took one scoop, and the rest of the days I took 1.5-2 scoops. The only problem is that it loses its potency quick (same is true for other powdered pre-workouts like White Flood). I have more consistency from Core Zap and Phenadrine. Those two are very similar in ingredient profile. They don't provide the same crazy feeling you get from powdered products like Jack3d and White Flood, but they are more consistent with their energy and euphoric effects. Also I never have any crash at all, both make you feel great the rest of the night. I would say Jack3d was like that to a certain degree, but like I said before, not as consistent.

So, you didn't follow the directions at all and blame the product immediately...interesting.

So you took too much of a product containing stimulants and had an adverse reaction?

Yea its probably the Geranium that you crashed from. I had the same problem when i took jack3d. i felt like a crackhead after my workouts and i felt depressed and lethargic. I stick to white flood now.Originally Posted by JP83

or maybe you just had an off day...I mean if you used it for 7 days straight and felt sick every most of the time then yea I would say its the supplement and that you just don't respond well to it...so can't write it off with just one try...and beside you did use more than directed too aswell...

I've personally never had any problems, just felt too wired when I took 5 scoops one day (but had a crazy workout from it). It's really the only potent pre-workout I've taken that hasn't made me thrown up no matter the dose..many other supplements have me puking everywhere from too many stims. Jack3d is really nice in my opinion, I just want a different flavor sometime
