Let's see it! Product review: Jack3d™ Pre-Workout by USPlabs.

Product Review 2/7/2011
Jack3d™ by USPlabs
Pre-Workout Supplement 

I would like to point out that I'm neither a chemist nor any kind of scientist or doctor and my "advice" should be taken as a mere suggestion and not a prescription or command. I take no responsibility for any harm taken from using any product(s) I recommend.


It's time to get Jack3d™!!!

It only takes a few seconds at your local vitamin/supplement store to realize there are quite a few Pre-Workout products out there! Which ones do this? Which ones have "Ephedra" in them? Will they give me a heart attack? Legitimate questions! There are plenty of horror stories out there concerning these products. With this post we will turn the spotlight onto one of these Pre-Workout supplements:  
Jack3d™ by USPlabs. 

Taken from www.usplabsdirect.com

"It all started in Texas during the mid 1990’s, when then Texas A & M Nutrition student, Jacob Geissler began a comprehensive study of the world’s natural herbal compounds. Later, with the assistance of some top sports scientists, Jacob began a mission to get it right. Unhappy with current nutritional supplements, the group was searching for safe, natural compounds that would improve performance, appearance and everyday life. The discoveries were amazing. Techniques such as HPLC and Bio-Assayed Extraction revealed previously undiscovered scientific breakthroughs!..."


Jack3d™ is definitely popular. As an employee of a local Vitamin/Supplement store I can attest to it's popularity just by how fast it flies off the shelf.USPlabs is also a reputable company having established a firm hold in the supplements industry.

Since you know Iam not a scientist and certainly not a doctor I will refrain from breaking down the individual ingredients one by one and simply focus on one in particular: 1,3-Dimethylamylamine or DMAA.

Hey athletes In 2009, the World Anti-Doping Agency added methylhexanamine (DMAA) to the 2010 prohibited list. So thats not good for anyone being tested for PED's.

 It's generally an OTC stimulant/thermogenic similar to adrenaline. Side effects have been reported to include but not limited to: Headache, Nausea and Stroke. Sheesh. It's also a vasoconstrictor and will contribute to dehydration. So, weigh the risks with the effects. Taking it will definitely get you amped up and give you a focused "high" so to speak. However, if the cons out weigh the pros do some jumping jacks for energy.

I personally like  Jack3d™. I have been experimenting with several Pre-Workout supplements. 5-6-7am workouts can be a bit demanding when you work two jobs and 70+ hours a week. I sometimes have to rely on a Pre-Workout just to get my a** to the gym! Heh. Lemon Lime so far has been my flavor of choice. I'll usually take 2-3 scoops about an hour before gym time. Look folks you should already be staying properly hydrated but if you choose to run a Pre-Workout hydration is a must as just about every P/W supp out there has caffeine in it. 


Jack3d™ is a go for me and I would recommend it to anyone interested in possibly trying Pre-Workout supplements. Always follow directions carefully and consume your H2O!!

Stay Fit!
