Fierce Domination

[neilmorgan77]

I was using some Fierce Domination last night when I found a black/brown lump in it, which was about 1cm across in a sort of random shape (looked like a kidney stone). I pulled it apart to investigate and it was lighter brown inside and a bit crumbly.

I didn't really want to think about what it might be, and I'm hoping I'm wrong and it is some innocent part of the production process which just hasn't been mixed properly, but could it be some kind of animal dropping?

Has anybody else found anything in this supplement, or have any ideas what it might be?

I'm pretty sure you're fine. I highly doubt its animal poop either lol

Fierce Domination is a great product but I have had issues with clumping. I have a feeling this is what you are seeing because the clumps in my bottle were brownish in color as well. I had to return the last bottle of watermelon I received because of this.

I suspect the thin paper seal they use has been failing and allowing moisture in which causes the clumping. I love the product and I hope this issue gets resolved very shortly.

There was some clumping, but mostly just lumps with no colour which come apart quite easily. This is very dark compared to the powder. I'm conducting an experiment with some of the powder and a few drops of water to see if I get a similar effect. So far, it has gone a bit yellow, as I expected, but I will have to wait and see if it can go very dark brown and solid.

mine is somewhat clumpy but I've had it for awhile. over time moisture and humidity will affect an open container or one that's not quite sealed properly. IIRC I think CM is really susceptible to this.

I wrote a review a long time ago of how bad it clumps, and the moisture can change the powder a very dark color like that.

But it dissolves easily in water, just throw it in. Still works.

Citrulline tends to clump, for sure. If you look at the 18gr serving size, then subtract the actives, you have around 2gr left for flavoring, coloring, sweeteners, and as pertains to this conversation, excipients. That's very, very low, most pres have far more fillers, and yes, that may give you a fluffy powder, but we would rather have you pay for actives than fluff that has zero effect on performance. It's a fine line we tread between value and convenience, if you will.

As far as the chunk, I have seen this in many other pres. I just pull it out, blend it up, drink, and smash. It's all good. Can I ask which flavor it is and when you bought it?

Blue Raspberry and ordered on 14th August. Are you saying the brown lump is probably just citrulline?

There is more than one hygroscopic ingredient in fierce, but the major one is citrulline, yes. One of the worst offenders in this area was an old get diesel pre that had a big dose of citrulline. It looked like brown pebbles if you let it sit enough. Great stuff though.
