Red Acid v2:

DAY 1

Red Acid Usage:

Two doses of two caps each.
530 AM
12:00 PM

Initial thoughts:

The first dose didn't really hit me as I expected. I am usually a slow responder in the morning however and I feel that this may be part of it.
The second dose I took was great. I had a sustained energy feeling for about 2 hours after taking this.

Workout:

None, as exam today.

Diet:

Cut Diet 2500 Normal Day

Weight: (Upon Waking)

237.6

Awesome feedback with the timing listed... if possible try to time that 2nd dosage about 1 hour pre-gym or so

Great detail !

Red Acid v2:

DAY 2

Red Acid Usage:

Two doses of two caps each.
6:30 AM
1:00 PM (40 Min After Meal, 35 Min Before Workout)

Today's Thoughts

I took the first dose about an hour today after waking up, rather than right away. I think I felt the "focus" a bit more, since I was already up and more sensitive, and not groggy.

The second dose didn't really do much for me. Is this because I am taking it so soon after a meal? I'd like opinions on how long after a meal to take this.

Workout:

Chest Workout (Cut Diet Week 2)

Diet:

Cut Diet 2500 Normal Day

Weight: (Upon Waking)

238 (Maybe because I drank more water?)

**Urban Monk** · 10-04-2006, 07:26 PM

Red Acid v2:

DAY 3

Red Acid Usage:

Two doses of two caps each.
6:00 AM
12:00 PM (45 Min After Meal)

Today's Thoughts

I could not time today's 2nd dose before a workout. However, I took the first dose 15 min before cardio (low intensity, 35 min) and about 15 min in I started feeling a little "euphoric". I'm wondering how long the effects of this should last. Should I start taking red acid later in the day at like 10 and 3?
Would this help me more with a workout (as I usually like to workout around 5-6 PM)

Great detail

As far as timing, feel free to experiment. Ideally you want one of the 2 doses to be pre-cardio or pre-workout... so that's the main thing.

My question however is, how long do the effects seem to last/potentiate?
Like what if i took a dose at 5 pm?

Also, is the ideal way to run this as being when one dose starts to taper off, hit another one?

Thanks.

Any opinions?

Results will vary dramatically (that's part of the reason for the Day 1 assessment).

Take it before the meal or around 30 minutes after IMO... experiment and give us as much detail and feedback as possible.

I think this works better when I have less time between doses. I was thinking about maybe adding in a third dose in the evening. Anyone got any opinions on this?

At this point, and for log purposes, I wouldn't. Instead let's work on the timing and dosing. You should NOT need to increase dosage, but experiment with split dosage instead... something like

1
1

1

**Urban Monk** · 10-18-2006, 02:36 AM

I was pretty sick for the last week or so.
The doctor advised to stay on my back for most of the week, so haven't really had a chance to work out, and have put an end to my supplements.

I even lost 3 lbs, but not in the way that I would have wanted!
I will pick back up tomorrow.

**pu12en12g** · 10-18-2006, 12:50 PM

Hope you are back to 100% soon man !!!

Back on the routine today. Wow, did I feel weird today when jumping back into working out/taking RA.

The first dose especially hit me kind of hard. I went from like kind of like limping around to my neck snapping back sort of. Extra sensitivity for some reason?
