Xyience...
this stuff anygood or is it just over rated?
I wanna try the NoxCG3 , along with the XTestosterone....think that would be too much or what? and by the way...wouldnt the testosterone be like a steroid??
NoXCG3
Massive Pumps, Increased Size and Decreased Recovery Time! NOXCG3, uses the most advanced matrix of ingredients to achieve massive pumps, increased size, better performance and increased strength! We use a complete matrix with the most advanced ingredients on the market including: Three intense creatines (Creatine Ethyl Ester, Creatine Alpha-Ketoglutarate, and Tri-Creatine Malate), three extreme Arginines (Arginine HCl , Arginine Ketoisocaproate, Arginine Alpha-Ketoglutarate) and three unstoppable glutamines (Glutamine HCl , Glutamine Alpha-Ketoglutarate, N-Acetyl-L-Glutamine ). The combination of these nine key ingredients, will guarantee you the most mind-blowing, extreme workouts you've ever experienced. And the final topper the taste! The extreme blue raspberry flavor in NOXCG3 will blow your mind. Trust the people at Xyience to provide you with the best creatine matrix product on the market today!
XTEST(90-cap) is a unique anabolic support supplement that helps to promote muscle growth with three distinct groups of natural ingredients, each with three distinct mechanisms. These are described below. Rhaponticum and Ajuga: The herb Rhaponticum carthamoides contains Ecdysterones (such as 20-beta-hydroxyecdysone) and Ponasterone A, which helps to increase protein production at the cellular level, and in turn help build muscle tissue. As a matter of fact, research in Russia shows that this plant can significantly increase muscle mass, while decreasing body fat in athletes who used it while exercising. Research also shows that Rhaponticum extract is able to increase performance in athletes (i.e., work capacity, endurance, reduction of mental and physical fatigue).

NoxCG3
Overpriced, overated and not worth it.
Nitric oxide- debated topic, a pretty new supplement needs more years.
Creatine- proven supplement, definitely worth taking.
Glutamine-again debated topic, some love it, others believe its a waste of money.
Personally stay away from xyience unless you have money to play with. Do some research, there is plenty of info on this forum. Save your hard earned cash. They have Chuck Lidell as a endorser if they get enough customers they also might get Matt Hughes.

How old are you? Not trying to be a dick. It is not a steriod.
Ananbolic steriod-A group of synthetic hormones that promote the storage of protein and the growth of tissue, sometimes used by athletes to increase muscle size and strength.
There are substances which are precursors of testosterone.

Sure it's expensive if you buy it off their site or at GNC. But if you buy wholesale online it's usually 40% less.
Now the important part. Mom also said: You get what you pay for. If you buy cheap supplements you'll get cheap quality. If you pay more you'll get more too. And you body is not something to skimp on.
I saw the Xyience ads too. I love UFC. So I bought some NoxCG3 and some XLR8. And I loved it. I wrote to Xyience for more info on the manufacturing standards and quality because I'm a natural athlete and can't afford hidden "secret ingredients" in my supplements. Turns out they are good people willing to discuss their products and standards and I'm impressed.
Now the boyfriend and I have been using Xyience stuff for 4 months and we're sold. The test of time is the best determining factor of any supplement. Best results came from the XLR8 and the XFCB to help me get ready for the WNBF Pro World's Figure. I was not 100% on my diet all the time and I still got down to 9.5% bodyfat and didn't spare an ounce of muscle with all the dieting down and cardio. Even after 4 competitions this year (which is honestly too many to maintain a peak physique) I turned from a mediocre competitor to a Top 5 competitor by the end of the year.
The XLR8 is some harsh stuff! Taking a full dose is too much for me. So I only take 1 or 2 with food. My body temp goes up a bit, which is nice since my bodyfat is low (lack of insulation to keep me warm) and I work in a cold office. My productivity at work goes up too. But screw work, the best benefits are my increased and intense focus in the gym. Even when my body is ready to give up on a set I can dig in mentally and give it one more rep if I take this stuff with my pre-workout meal. I like that, and I need that kind of help in my focus.
Now I'm back on the Nox CG3 for the off season's intense training and heavy lifitng. Good stuff!!!! I've taken similar supplements that are a triad of glutamine, arginine, and creatine. One of them was so loaded with Niacin (but not listed on the ingredients) that my skin would go flush and get itchy after taking it. I guess that's supposed to fool you into thinking "it's working". But it's just niacin. It won't do anything for your muscle gains! But the NoxCG3 has been good to us. Smooth flavor that masks the nasty arginine flavor; good pump in the gym; good recovery after each heavy set; less recovery time from soreness in the day following.
The boyfriend has been taking the XSex......no comment.....I need to go hide that sh*t because I need a damn break!
So before you start talking trash about a supplement that seems to cost too much, you need to actually give it a REAL try for a couple months. If you don't think it works it's not because of the supplement.

Great post Nicole. Now, the Xyience product lists 10 mg. of niacin per scoop. Ever feel any "flush" from that, or is that too small an amount. How much niacin was in that other brand you mentioned? Thanks.

40% off is still pretty damn expensive. people say that BSN is expensive but I can pick up a tub of no-xplode for 26 bucks all day long. i think the cheapest i saw the cog3 for was 70s (for the 780g). most other comparable supps can be found for around the 30s. for some that price difference isn't much but paying double (@ 40% off) is just not worth it to me.

I don't feel a flush from the NoxCG3, but I do get a good pump and good recovery. And like I said, the other brand, SAN, didn't list any Niacin so I have no clue.

This is very faulty logic. As quite often, products can be underdosed while overpriced to cover large marketing campaigns, thus the price not reflecting the true value of the product.

true for some, but not all. The proof is in the finish! And I'm not an amateur, I actually know what I'm doing so I know when it's the supplement making the difference not a change in my diet or training.

You don't happen to be sponsored by Xyience do you? I checked out your website and there's product links all over it. Before you give your opinion on a product, you might let people know that you're being sponsored by that company.
Xyience is EXTREMELY overpriced. They might have good products, but I'll never know, because I don't feel like taking a long shot when there are cheaper, proven products already on the market.

Good catch Hola. There is a My Sponsors list with links that includes Xyience. I guess giving the link to her home page and having that there indirectly tells people she is sponsored by them, but it should be in her sig, I agree. I was misled. That said, I'm thinking of giving the NOX stuff a shot, since I can get free shipping on it and being in Japan shipping jacks up the price of everything.

I have one banner ad for Xyience at the bottom of my webpage. I wish I was sponsored by them! But they give me some of their products to try out in exchange for my opinion of them. As a natural athlete I would never promote a product I did not believe in. I've had offers for "affilate status" and "sponsorship" by companies who make/sell products with DHEA and other pro-hormones or steroids and I refuse to associate myself with them. I've had offers from companies with products that did nothing for me, and I can't ethically do that for the money.
So think whatever....if it's too expensive for you then don't buy them. In comparison most supplements of similar type are only $10-20 less which is not a huge difference. It also depends on where you buy them: from their site directly, from a wholesale online site, from BB.com, or from a rip-off joint like GNC.

Nicole,
I agree with some of what you are saying regarding you get what you pay for (most of the time)... I would suggest though that if you do get product in exchange for you opinions, that you put something in your signature, as people will respect your opinion more if they know that you are in essence a "Product Rep"....
Regards,
Robert

You're not sponsored by Xyience??? Then why is there a big Xyience banner directly below "My Sponsors" on your website? Hmmmm. I don't think it takes a rocket scientist to figure that one out.
So far you've posted 6 times in this thread, so I won't bother providing links to them, but here are some other interesting posts of yours I've found...
All of the following are posts in which you pimp Xyience products...
http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showpo...&postcount=549
http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showpo...&postcount=532
http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showpo...&postcount=500
http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showpo...&postcount=495
In the following posts, you provide a referal link (so you get credit for it) to a swimsuit/tanning company that is also listed under "My Sponsors" on your website...
http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showpo...63&postcount=2
http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showpo...43&postcount=6
http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showpo...72&postcount=9
http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showpo...5&postcount=11
http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showpo...7&postcount=31
http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showpo...0&postcount=20
http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showpo...2&postcount=22
http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showpo...1&postcount=10
http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showpo...57&postcount=7
More posts in which you provide referal links for NSI Vitamins, which you sell from your website...
http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showpo...&postcount=681
http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showpo...&postcount=477
Heres another post you made with a referal link for a product that you sell from your website...
http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showpo...97&postcount=8
Another blatant attempt at a referal...
http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showpo...23&postcount=2
And your final, shameless attempt to promote Xyience...
http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showpo...8&postcount=60
So 24 of your 79 posts (almost 1/3) have been in shameless promotion of your sponsors. I might add, almost ALL of your posts are shameless promotions of YOURSELF. Someone's just a tad bit conceited eh?
I would have no problem with you if you were here to help people, but that is not the case. You are here to promote yourself and your sponsors. End of story. I for one, won't miss you when you're gone.
Oh and by the way, thanks for neg repping me and giving me something interesting to do on a boring sunday morning.

Pertaining to Nicole's comment about more expensive=better product:
That is simply not true. If you look at the ingredient comparisons between two products, both with the same aim (i.e. build muscle) the less expensive one frequently has a better profile. It is just not that simple. Muscletech's products are MUCH more expensive than the products that I use, but mine have better ingredients and more amounts of the actives. If I followed your logic, I would buy all Muscletech supps. Cell-Tech is a great example.
Dextrose, 2 lbs, $3.25 (23 moreg than Cell-Tech): http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/now/dex.html
Creatine Monohydrate, 300g, $7.95 (3 times the amount in a 2lb Cell-Tech): http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/un/creapure.html
Alpha-Lipoic acid, 200mg, 50 servings, $7.49 (5 times the amount in Cell-tech): http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/bioc/lip.html
Total price for homemade Cell-Tech: $18.69
Cell-Tech on BB.com, at 60% discount: $23.79
So, you end up getting WAY more ingredients for a much lower price.
...
I could do a price comparison for NOX CG-3 as well if you like, but I think you get my point.
