Applied Nutraceuticals UNCUT Review

[Mr.Cooper69]

Big thanks to Dewey and nugget5 for making this review possible. Your generosity shall not go unnoticed . Also big ups to Dirk and neuron for using/identifying the merits of Amentoflavone, which are quite numerous. As promised to Dewey, my first post back will be a review of Uncut, one of the few products that I've truly been excited to try in the past year. Without further ado:




So thanks to the 25 capsule trial size bottle that I was given, I was able to try Uncut in a variety of situations. 1 cap, 2 caps, 3 caps. 2 caps + 25mg ephedrine. 3 caps + 25mg 1,3D.

This evaluation will be for Uncut in isolation, with notes added for complementary ingredients.

Energy

I am incredibly stim-tolerant, and this was reflected by the fact 1 capsule of Uncut basically had me at baseline. Not tired, not energized. 2 capsules of Uncut honestly felt like 250mg caffeine. I wasn't quite getting "extra" stim kick. But then 3 caps...I realize this is a lot of caffeine, but for me, not so much. The energy I got from Uncut did seem to have more to it than simply caffeine, likely due to a nootropic effect from the cholinergics. With 1,3D, the energy was even better as I suspected, as the stage was set for optimal SNS activation. Overall, energy was a solid component of the formula for me.

8/10

Focus

I saw a lot of rave reviews for focus, but for whatever reason, my responses echoed that of the energy effects. I didn't get much of any focus at 1 or 2 caps, but at 3 caps, I got a strong, in-the-zone type of feel. For me, this was not a strong suit of the product, but my primary goal when using a preworkout is to enhance performance (strength/endurance).

7/10

Pumps

Again, not a big deal for me, and anecdotally, I did not get a crazy pump out of Uncut. I'd say it was about average at 2-3 caps, and WELL above average when stacked with ephedrine.

7/10

Strength

By this point in the review, you're probably thinking that I didn't much enjoy Uncut and that it's time to move on to the next review. So it may be a little surprising to you that I bought my first preworkout product in one year last week...and that preworkout product was a full-size Uncut. The reason is simple: it increases strength.

Yes, caffeine has demonstrated time and time again that it can improve strength. But amentoflavone takes it to another level. By increasing cytoplasmic availability of Ca2+ in skeletal muscle (and probably cardiac as well), the force of contraction on an action potential-per-action potential basis goes up tremendously. I suspected stacking Uncut with a b-agonist like ephedrine would further bolster this effect...and it did. What's more: this effect was felt from the very first use as the data would dictate (it's an acute effect, and normal skeletal muscle mechanics eventually take hold and take you back to a baseline Ca2+ response to an AP). It was very cool that when I compared my results with pro PLer Nom Z, he too noticed that his PRs, which are fairly well-established due to his training experience, increased after just one use of Uncut. Very cool effect and worth every penny.

My sweet spot for performance enhancement ended up being 2 caps Uncut + 25mg Ephedrine HCl. The strength gains were roughly equatable to creatine: 1-2 reps more at equal weight. Which is fairly significant (10-20% increase on a 10 rep set).

10/10


Overall, I would suggest this product to others, as I have already picked up another bottle myself and will continue to use it. Thanks again to Dewey, Nugget, and the App Nut team!

Good review and glad to see you back coop.

The yohimbine makes me feel weird like all day after taking Uncut... I might just try 1 cap and see how it goes.

[nugget5]

Awesome, glad you enjoyed it! This is in my top 3 favorite preWO and I really hope everyone gets to try it

[drooks10]

Awesome, Coop! Great to see you back here. I'm pumped you have found UnCut so effective.

[Dewey99]

Welcome back Coop!

Thanks for the honest review and the explanation on how it affects strength. The fact that you bought a bottle says everything to me. Anybody who knows you is well aware that you can get just about anything you want for free (or make it yourself!), so when you buy something it means a lot.

It's great to have you back on the forum. Your knowledge and perspective has been sorely missed!

[Rucksdaddy]

Not sure why you were banned, but lame.

Very in-depth review.

[obey46]

Welcome back Coop! Glad to have your support.

[UncleWade]

Glad to see you back Coop, I've been missing you on this board.

I've been noticing similar effects during the 3-4 workouts when using UNCUT. It's been nice to have that advantage using DC methods of training.

[TommyTuffGuy]

Excellent review, I've been using UNCUT for the past 2 days but actually for cardio. Going to hit the weights tomorrow to see the strength effects.

I am enjoying UNCUT more than PES Enhanced for whatever that's worth.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm interested to see what you think when you use Uncut before lifting.

Uncut and Enhanced are different, but they are both excellent choices in my opinion. I have even used 1 cap of Uncut and 1 scoop of Enhanced together before lifting....

[Jeff the Repper]

Great to see you back Cy, and thanks for the awesome feedback. I have been thinking about trying Uncut and ephedrine but not at the dosage you are using.

[sdfan13]

Another good review for UnCut.

Man, I gotta get my hands on this stuff!! Also, welcome back. It's good to have a knowledgeable poster like yourself back on the boards!

[Mr.Cooper69]

Thanks for all the kind words fellas. Feels good to be back

They honestly both have their merits. You should try flipping the two:

Enhanced pre-cardio for the benefits of alpha-2-antagonism on fat loss + the benefits of nitrates on aerobic capacity.

Uncut pre-weights for the effects of Ca2+ release on force of contraction.

[sloop]

Appreciate the detailed feedback, man. Thanks for posting this.

On recharge...

I believe there's an Uncut promo running right now. You should get in on it and check it out for yourself.

[Black_Label]

Glad to see you liked everything. Plus having a background to explain your reasoning can help a ton

[SoftballNerd]

nice review and welcome back...

[TheFugitive]

Nice to see the Coop man back in action

[Swuuu]

another Uncut log and another happy user! Dang I am getting more and more excited about this!

[Mr.Cooper69]

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome back, it really means a lot. Uncut really is in a league of its own for strength. 2 caps Uncut + 1 scoop Enhanced is proving quite potent, but it's not for those who are faint of heart

Yea im gonna startout with one cap and probably stay there for a while!

Oh man. I was contemplating doing this myself. Welcome back man.

[Anthony21]

Oh great, another smart wizard like member where I can't understand sh!t you're saying with all this mumbo jumble mad scientist talk...




Welcome back broski. Ucnut is one of my favorite preworkouts cause it just flat out works. The first time I used it I set a PR and there was no looking back.

Late to the party.

Hasn't it been proposed that nitrates can improve contractile force?

[Mr.Cooper69]

Thanks again everyone.

domore, contractility is a phenomenon mediated primarily by the SR and Ca++, but nitrates can improve anaerobic work capacity by aiding in the delivery of oxygen to hypoxic tissue, therefore accelerating an energetic shift to the more sustainable aerobic metabolism. Improved vasodilation would also result in more rapid waste removal (i.e. acid).

Awesome. Thanks, Coop.

It looks like I'll keeping nitrates in my lineup, and introducing Uncut to get some amentoflavone.
