Thermolife Dicana a Dito review

**dito** · 08-30-2005, 02:17 PM

I was sent a bottle of this to try out from Ron. I was very interested in the product, mostly due to this thread: http://forum.avantlabs.com/index.php...8087&hl=dicana

Here is the product on bb.com: http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/thermo/di.html

This is mainly what piqued my interest, since I have used Triac.

Loki's advice lack one thing, any knowledge whatsoever of Dicana.

Max32 was right on the money when he noted the differences between T3 and Dicana. Namely as follows:

1) not quite as much TSH suppression/rebound=quicker/easier recovery post
2) not as much muscle loss/wasting
3) slightly weaker (1 and 2 are indicative of this)

Not to mention that Dicana is a legal dietary supplement and T3 is a drug.

However if someone did want drug like effects from Dicana all they would need to do would be to increase the dosage.

Dicana is dosed at the current potency so it will be effective yet not be so potent that is will cause drug like effects and be pulled off the market immediately. The FDA evaluates supplements based on the manufactures dosing scheme and recommended dosage.

Furthermore anybody really interested in going with the "real deal" for fat burning will get way better results with tiratricol than with T3 but as previously stated both of these compounds will eat muscle as well as fat whereas Dicana will not, even at an increased dosage.

So I wanted to test out his claims. I was using other things at the time. Everything was a constant. I also eliminated any other thermogenic fat burner except:fish oil, green tea, and alcar.

Dosing was: 6 caps a day for one week, followed by one week off. On the third week I just ran it the same dosing the same. I saw that I was almost out so I just kept taking it. It only lasted 2 more days.

What Dito noticed:

increased body temp
more sweating during cardio
a little bit decrease in cardio endurance
I also seemed to get angry easier. I think this was due to the body temp going up. Cause usually when I get really hot I get a little bit moody.
Some lethargy

Results:

I am very pleased. I put some decent size on my quads and arms, while losing fat. I could start to see my veins more clear in my arms, chest, and legs. I was not completely consistant on my diet either. When I did morning cardio I would sweat like mad. My shirt would be drenched. Usually I don't sweat too much.

I would most certainly purchase this product on my own. However for safety reasons, I do not recommend any one doing any other sort of dosing other than what is stated on the label.

no other sides dito?

**dito** · 08-30-2005, 02:37 PM

No.

**Matt96teg** · 08-30-2005, 02:37 PM

I had decent weight loss on it...But Trimax was much more potent and 1/4 the dose and cheaper too.

**j_neatherlin** · 08-30-2005, 02:39 PM

thanks for the feedback dito. i've been interested in this product as well. have you used T3 or Triac? If so, how does Dicana compare?

**dito** · 08-30-2005, 02:39 PM

What about muscle wasting?

I have used Triac, but ran it along with clen whilist doing ud 2.0. So I can't really make a comparison.

I didn't lose strength on either products so I don't think I lost much muscle at all. Although when I went to 3 caps of Triac it made me tired with no additional benefits.

**dito** · 08-30-2005, 02:46 PM

Lethargy is the suxxors.

**Lonny** · 08-30-2005, 03:06 PM

I haven't used this product, but i do believe the muscle catabolism on Trimaxx is not so much a loss in muscle, but rather a result of being completely glycogen depleted. I mean having no stored energy in the muscles whatsoever.

Have you used T-2 at all, or 7-keto? and if so, could you compare it to either?

I have never used T-2 but I have used several 7-keto based products but I never noticed much from any of them except for joint pain.

**avian** · 08-30-2005, 03:45 PM

dito how many caps were you using ED and when?
thanks

**dito** · 08-30-2005, 03:47 PM

I was using 6 a day. 2am 2mid 2pm

I do not recommend this dosing however. I suggest you follow label directions.

**Stuntdawg** · 08-30-2005, 03:48 PM

How much weight did you shed?

**dito** · 08-30-2005, 03:50 PM

I only lost about 2lbs. But I really did put some decent size on my quads.

Nice, do you suppose you experienced some recomposition then?

**dito** · 08-30-2005, 03:52 PM

Aye.

Thats EXACTLY what I think.

**avian** · 08-30-2005, 03:58 PM

If i may ask, why you took 1 week off?

**dito** · 08-30-2005, 03:59 PM

To avoid thyroid supression.

**dito** · 08-27-2009, 07:07 PM

I think so. It's a lot more potent now.

I've used 3,3/3,5 at pretty high doses for 8 weeks or so and had no issues. Shutting a thyroid down is no easy chore

Aye, this was before I was a rep and didn't know too much about thyroid stuff. Ron had given me some for free

**Elliptical Envy** · 08-27-2009, 07:46 PM

I appreciate the help...

Can this be taken with a stim (e/c or a yohimbine based product), or do you suggest to use it as a stand alone?

It looks something like the USP Recreate, but no beta agonist...
