Curious is DAA banned (D-Aspartic acid)? I thought I was all natural but that Hemo Rage just failed me...LOL
[QUOTE=44bulldog;807505491]Do you have any idea how long it would take for PEA and it's metabolites to not be able to be detected?[/quote]
It depends on the metabolite and the user's condition (e.g. urine pH, GFR, stomach pH when taken).
[QUOTE=44bulldog;807505491]Would an athlete be safe ~2 hours after supplementing with PEA (assuming PEA is even something that could cause a failed drug test)?[/QUOTE]
If he or she has urinated (the more frequently the better) during those 2 hours there presumably wouldn't be an issue.

DAA is fine. From my understanding, as long as your testosterone levels do not exceed the 6:1 ratio that Hawks58 talked about (on the last page) you will be fine. If for some reason DAA made your test levels exceed the 6:1 ratio I would [B]GUESS[/B] that they would test your urine to find out why it exceeded the 6:1 ratio, instead of busting you right away. I would then [B]GUESS[/B] that they would find that the 6:1 ratio was exceeded naturally, as DAA is natural, and then I would [B]GUESS[/B] that you would be fine.
I have no idea if DAA could cause someone to exceed the 6:1 ratio.
As antihero stated on the last page, the reason the NCAA regulations suck so bad is that everything is left to pretty much guessing.
You're still considered natty bro. 1,3D is just banned by the NCAA. It doesn't mean you're not natty.

After hearing both you and antihero say that you think PEA is fine, I will not add it to the list unless we hear something different.
6:1 is pretty high though!! That is 600% more testosterone than the average male!
I played D-1 and I think the NCAA has kind of gone overboard with the whole supplement cases and testing....It's really getting out of control
You can test for PEA, but I'm not sure why anyone would since it is a natural metabolite of phenylalanine, a common amino acid. It's also rapidly metabolized and so the testing would have to be done within minutes of PEA administration.
[QUOTE=44bulldog;807495941]If antihero was correct in saying that the half-life of PEA is only 5-10 minutes would that mean that it would not be detectable in urine after 10 minutes? For example if someone were to use Craze (or any sup with PEA) before an athletic event and they would not be tested until after the event (~2 hours later) then would the PEA still be able to be detected?[/QUOTE]
PEA's half-life is 5-10 minutes.
So if we say PEA's half-life is 10 minutes, then 50% would be removed at the 10 minute mark.
After 2 half lives (20 minutes), 75% would be removed.
After 3 half lives (30 minutes), 12.5% of the original dose would remain. And so on.
The biggest factor is the original dose and the detection limit on the instrument you are using to run the test.
Most testing devices have a low sensitivity, but high specificity (unless we're talking olympic testing).
And so, the run-of-the-mill non-invasive testing "mechanisms" probably won't be able to detect PEA after 1 or 2 high lives.
[QUOTE=32lax;807591901] now it appears it is, they've decided it's chemically related to tuaminoheptane? Are they going to come up with a consistent policy or just keep making it up as they go along?[/QUOTE]
1,3-DMAA is highly related to tuaminoheptane; both in structure and function.

So even if we were to assume PEA was banned (which at this point it really seems that it is not banned) it would be very hard to even detect.
No need to add PEA to the list then. Thank you neuron.
[QUOTE=antihero;806386291]I agree with you 100% on this and I wrote a final exam paper on it for one of my sports nutrition classes a while ago.
The NCAA does an absolutely piss poor job with the list and I'm honestly astounded that more people aren't disqualified every year because of it.[/QUOTE]
Really? Its pretty clear that the NCAA doesnt do any testing at all. The amount of drugs pumped into these kids is astounding. Gotta win the conference at all costs.

I mean it's like this, skip to 3:30 for Arnold talking about testing in bb competitions. But it is still good info to know. It's like I know I could probably take AAS with my job but that risk isn't worth it to me.
/done taking off track. Reps to bulldog, don't know why mods didn't rep ya.
I don't see why DAA or any natty test booster would raise the test:epitest ratio?
[QUOTE=D3Baseball;807894891]I don't see why DAA or any natty test booster would raise the test:epitest ratio?[/QUOTE]
It wouldn't. Testosterone synthesized endogenously is subject to epimerization, unlike exogenous test.

Really? That's funny, because I know people who have been tested by the NCAA.
Look at the link I posted in the very first post on this page. I'm sure there are many more stories like that out there if you search around.

It would be great if you could keep popping in here every once in awhile just to clear stuff up like that.
[QUOTE=D3Baseball;807894891]I don't see why DAA or any natty test booster would raise the test:epitest ratio?[/QUOTE]
It won't. The only way to raise testosterone independent of epitestosterone is by providing exogenous testosterone to the body.
great thread. 5 stars
Great thread, i agree some of the regulations are a bit obscure and the fact they give really vague guidelines is terrible. But from what i've read its pretty hard to fail for caffeine theres no real evidence as to how much caffeine will dilute your urine to over the banned limit but caffeine generally stays in your body for roughly 6 hours and no more then a day so you'd have to consume a good deal of caffeine that morning and most places are supposed to give a day notice (not all do)
From what i've noticed atleast at my school is generally the newcomers get tested first, unless you make it to a NCAA sanctioned event like nationals. And atleast at my school they generally only test for street drugs as i've been here a year and a half and only know on occasion people being steroid tested.
That drugfreerec site is pretty solid, but they too give real generalized answers they'll mention something about caffeine then not go indepth on really anything. I wish there was more research on how long certain supplements stay in your system and actually what will get you to test positive.

Thank you.
I would trust that the caffeine information I posted in the OP is correct and if you did your own calculations you would find that number to be accurate. It was from a review done by the International Society of Sports Nutrition.
I've heard that NCAA athletes must avoid all Beast Sports Nutrition supplements
amidoinitrite
not srs

Haha nope, they should just avoid 2 Shredded as it contains Synephrine. Everything else in our line is good to go.

I plan on it. This is a conversation and topic that is something I've discussed with a few professors and trainers at the college.
Good thread.
You should be fine with PEA as it is eliminated quite quickly.
EDIT: Fack I'm late

yeah, that link makes a pretty good case.
but because of its half life, as long as you don't take it the day of the test you should be good, right? it would be fine as a preworkout then. lots of NCAA athletes use jacked....

Yes, but why even risk it? What if the athlete does not know when they will be tested? There are many preworkouts out there that don't contain 1,3D and will do just as much, if not more, for you than Jack3d.
I was never a fan of 1,3D.
If for whatever reason an athlete decides to use a product with 1,3D (I strongly advise any NCAA athletes not to) just please do not use it before an event/game which you may be tested after.

so dont worry if you use it to workout in the offseason.

Some schools test their student-athletes year round or whenever they randomly feel like it.
I still wouldn't recommend for any NCAA student-athletes to use Jack3d (or any other supplement with a banned substance). I just don't think it's worth the risk when there are so many other safe products out there.

Excellent point. Some (not many) universities do their own testing throughout the season or off-season and the athletes are held to the same NCAA regulations (although some universities have more rigid substance regulations than the NCAA).
