Deserusan's ActivaTe Xtreme Review

**deserusan** · 10-10-2007, 01:22 AM

Supplements. A lot of us here who are part of the bodybuilding.com culture are addicted to them. We are searching for that single product that will give us the perfect body and make us look like the guy or girl on the cover of that magazine that catches our eye on whatever newsstand. We are all guilty of this in some way, shape, or form and for good reason: the marketing works.

When I first heard Designer Supplements was releasing a new version of ActivaTe that little demon in my head got excited and said, "Dan you gotta get on that dude?" Seriously, I don't like being called dude but of course he did have a point. The DS Crew as I like to call them has always put out top notch and innovative products so of course I jumped at the opportunity to try this out. I knew this would be based around 3,4-Divanillyltetrahydrofuran which I've had good results from in the past.

Indole-3-Carbinol (I3C)
Basella Alba PE (10:1)

When it comes to formulation of a product which modulates hormones it is always best to address through multiple pathways. You can't just successfully stick one compound in and hope it will elicit a ton of positive effects without throwing off the natural balance of your body. As with most things in nature, balance is key to harmony, and the human body is no different. ActivaTe Xtreme does this through a well designed and meticulous approach to not only test boosting, but mild estrogen and cortisol control, all the while keeping nitrogen levels positive.

This is where I typically begin to spout off a bunch of technical "mumbo jumbo" which doesn't make a whole lot of sense but elevates me as some sort of wannabe guru. In all seriousness, any attempt at writing a technical review would certainly not do justice to the technical write up for this product found here:

The AcivaTe Xtreme Technical Write-Up

Some of you are thinking, "Dan you are getting a bit lazy when it comes to reviews" and you are RIGHT! I'm one busy "dude" as the demon in my head likes to refer to me as. Gaspari keeps me busy so what do you want from me? Not to get off track, I have no issue with any of the citations used to support the efficacy of ActivaTe Xtreme and feel they are all used in proper form. More importantly the write up isn't full of marketing fluff.

I've seen a recent trend of Pub Med diving to support rather weak formulas in order for them to seem superior to the vast droves of drooling morons out there (not you of course). The Designer Crew certainly isn?t guilty of this and should be applauded for their continuous effort to be one of the leaders in science based formulation. They certainly aren?t members of the "me too"clan who love to scan the ingredient lists of the innovators to give the legions of bros out there something to clamor over. That is one "journey" respectable companies don't embark on.

This Journey is Worth Paying Attention To

Since I?m on a roll, Designer was thoughtful enough not to try and fool you with yohimbine either . This novel approach to mask the thoughts of "Man this **** really sucks" from consumers by spiking their "test booster" with harsh stimulants is disgusting if you ask me. However, we all know the "me too" crew will do what it takes to trick you into thinking something works even if it will give you hypertension and tachycardia. I'm sure if a bum found sample on the street he might enjoy it too!

Rack 'Em Willie Wants Some!

After all was said and done in my eight week trial of this product, I'd give Activate Xtreme a 9.1 out of 10 for a DSHEA compliant and legal testosterone promoting supplement. I noticed some of the "on feeling" effects about two week into my review and noticed increased vascularity about two or three days after my first dose. Since I was cutting and hypocaloric for the duration of my cycle I did not gain any muscle but rest assured, I didn't loose much either.

Would I buy this product on my own? Yes. Even better, I do recommend this out in the real world while doing demos at various supplement shops because I feel strongly about the efficacy of the formula. It would be a disservice to the consumer not to highlight products which use science backed formulation, safe compounds, and the all important multiple pathway approach to build a truly unique product. I support innovation and stand by those who choose to be leaders in the industry instead of followers and so should you.

Great review Des. Thanks.

**NewRelease55** · 10-10-2007, 07:17 AM

Good overview. I'm about 3/4 of the way through my first bottle and I believe it's proven to be a good alternative Jungle Warfare from a solid company.
On a side note, do you have any future plans of dropping a review of I Force Bold? I'm curious about this stuff and would like to know your thoughts.

**Robboe** · 10-10-2007, 07:29 AM

I did get a few pimples here on my forehead and on my back about three weeks in.

**Skull Crusher Chris** · 10-10-2007, 05:43 PM

Great review Dan, have a bottle of this myself. Looking forward to giving it a go.

I think you do probably the best reviews of anyone I see Dan. You really go into depth and explain why you feel strongly about a product. I do love the fact that DS doesn't fluff their products to mass market appeal. They realize quality products backed by science.

Thanks man. Great products deserve the "shout out." I'm going to start reviewing a bit more like a I used to so LOOK OUT!

**deserusan** · 10-14-2007, 02:34 AM

That is correct.

I also wonder how much SHBG binds to AAS, in general.

**JHICKS3301** · 10-27-2007, 01:22 PM

Rack em Willie is my new role model..

Great review des! as always

noob question- safe to use for 17 y/o? Been BBing for a few years now but have been slacking off due to new interest in sports

Get your diet and training back on track and go with that for a while. It will do more for you than any supplement.

Act-X is 18+.

My diet's fine, it's just that my priorities have changed. I am more into sports than I am into bodybuilding now. I am just curious if it is safe for me. Because I think sesathin was 18+ but i took plenty of that
