dannyboy's CL Black Hole Review
Hey there brothers & sisters. Just got a hold on Black Hole by Controlled Labs thanks to the owner of Mass Nutrition. He originally gave me 3 bottles (3 months supply) but I decided to sell one to my friend who's been anxiously wanting to try it so now I'm down to 2 bottles. Depending on how I feel about the product when I'm done with it will conclude whether or not I crack the second bottle open. We'll see how it goes.
Supplement Facts Serving Size: 3 Capsules Servings per Container: 30 Amount per Serving: Non-Psychoactive Cannabinomimetic Alkylamides - 1,000mg (Echinacea purpurea root [extracted for a precise blend of alkylamides dodeca-2e, 4e, 8z, 10z/E-tetraenoic acid isobutylamide and dodeca 2-e, 4e-dienoic acid isobutylamide], Spilanthes Acmella [extract for a precise blend of alkylamide undeca-2e, 7z, 9e-trienoic acid isobutylamide]). Digest-It-All - 1,100mg (Humulus lupulus [extract for 8% lupulinum], Canyaponia Piauhiensis Extract [cayaponia tayuya], tynanthus panurensis [clavo huasca], ginger root, giant knotweed]. Other Ingredients: Maltodextrin, Gelatin, Magnesium stearate, Artificial colors The Claims: Increase your Diet and help add muscle! If you're like most bodybuilders you know it's necessary to eat a lot. If you want to build your body you're going to need to take in more than the average person. Unfortunately, most people can't eat more than a few thousand calories a day. The reason for that is a hormone in your brain that will let you know when you need to stop eating. If you continue to eat you will make yourself sick. These hormones are helpful to many because it will stop them from eating more than they should. However, if you're eating and using the calories then these hormones are more of a problem to you then anything! Luckily there is something that can stop those hormones from blocking your intake of calories. Controlled Labs Black Hole makes use of natural occurring alkylamides. This makes your brain stop sending you those signals you don't need. Benefits • Fast Acting • Ability to eat more than ever before • Adds lean mass • 100% legal, natural supplement • Aids Digestion • Natural joint supplement Cannabinomimetic Alkylamides Complex: What would you say if there was a something, which could increase your appetite in the same way as a person who smokes marijuana? However, you would not actually be taking the illegal substance. If you were excited to hear this then you will love the next part. There is something that can do this. There is a group of alkylamides that act as cannabinomimetics. They can mimic cannabinoids and bind to their receptors. These receptors handle many different functions. Once this had been accomplished it was necessary to gather herbs that contained the same alkylamides and that could mimic the structure of cannabinoids. Two herbs passed the test. Those herbs were Echinacea Purpurea and Spilanthes Acmella. Studies have shown that there are three herbs that contain this similarity and they were just listed. It was discovered that when these herbs are blended correctly into Controlled Labs Black Hole they could mimic the affects of marijuana. According to studies, the effects last longer than marijuana and it often produces a much better effect. This means that if you use Black Hole it could produce more hunger than ever before! Furthermore, the oral bioavailability that are in these alkylamides is extremely high, which means that the positive effects will get where they need to go without being broken down or destroyed in any way. Once the supplement starts working you will be hungry enough to pack on the calories! The Digest-It-All Complex: Creating the appetite is important, but you also need ingredients that are going to help you digest those calories in the right way. This is where the Digest-It-All complex comes into play. Digest-It-All will calm your gastrointestinal system and will help you produce gastric juices that will make the extra room for the calories you are taking in. Hops, an ingredient used in the manufacturing of beer has been known to help the stomach to produce a higher amount of gastric juices in order to help digestion. Clavo Huasca and Cayaponia Tayuya will aid in digestion. They will also rid you of any extra gas coming from your intestines. All of these things are rolled into one formula that is called Controlled Labs Black Hole! This is the best and only real appetite stimulator supplement on the market! __________________________________________________ The product looks pretty solid although there are no published studies on it. The only negative vibe I got from the product was after I read the directions... Directions Take three capsules before eating your first meal of the day. If it is necessary for you to operate a motor vehicle within a few hours of taking these capsules you should wait to take them with a meal where it will not be necessary. I was thinking of e-mailing them and inquiring about these instructions unless someone on here knows why CL advises this. I look forward to eating tons more than I already do and hopefully, there's no side effects from this except gaining a few  I will try my best to check in and report every day concerning the product. I am open to any suggestions and advice my brothers and sisters have to offer so feel free to let 'em loose! Tomorrow I will be starting out with the initial recommended dose (1 capsule to assess my tolerance) and then will be bumping it up accordingly.

Joe526...I am going to request that you please refrain from posting in this review thread as it's well known here at BB4U that you are antagonistic towards dannyboy9.
Thank you in advance for your co-operation. Hawkwind

I took my initial dosage like I said I would today immediately upon waking with a few gulps of white grapefruit juice at 9:30 a.m. Laid in bed for about another 20 minutes and then proceeded to getting up and going about my things at about 10:00 a.m.
I don't know if I'm supposed to be turning into the Incredible Hulk and devouring everything in my path but I am pretty hungry. I ate a while after 10:20 a.m. and I've been hungry since a bit before 12. At first I thought it was all in my head but damn I'm hungry. I'm going to head downstairs to my kitchen and make me some veggies with a few chicken breasts and a rice!  I will be upping the dose tomorrow to 2 pills so we'll see what happens with that. Hey...now that I think about it, I'm pretty damn hungry!

Future reference for those who want to purchase it:
In about a month or so, I might be getting some of this product in stock. I will keep you all updated on that situation  I managed to get up the stairs after eating my massive meal  1 cup rice 4 large sized chicken strips 1 cup broccoli 2 tablespoons melted Smart Butter poured over rice and broccoli for flavor I think it's safe to say: I'm stuffed

On another note, I didn't notice much of a difference the rest of the yesterday so this morning, I went about my usual routine but bumped up the dose right to 3 pills. Like I mentioned before, I'm not entirely sure exactly how intense the effects of this product are supposed to be but I don't notice any dramatic difference. I've taken digestive enzymes before and I can't tell the difference between this product and my digestive enzymes. I came across a thread or so on AM with members saying BH didn't work for them, I hope I don't gain the same effect they did  Controlled Labs Black Hole Review Nothing miraculous to report for the day except that I'm hungry again but it's been 3 hours already (I always get hungry after 3 or so hours, no biggie there). Now: to eat and drink (soy milk)!

I mean a medium sized (say 6 oz) chicken breast has 40g or so of protein. I would consider 160g + of protien in one sitting to be a waste, especially when that much chicken can easily be spread over 3-4 smaller meals.

Maybe I called it the wrong thing. They're more like boneless chicken strips but they're big. I could understand why that would look odd to you lol

Well, I dunno about you. But just talking about food makes me hungry. I swear everytime I open up this thread it leads me to raiding my kitchen.... So, I'll keep opening it up..

 ************************************************ On another note, I decide not to take my Black Hole today due to the fact that I went to bed @ 4 a.m. and didn't get up till 1 p.m. which in return, pretty much impacted my whole day and my regular diet so I just skimped on my BH for the day. Regardless of how tired I was today and the fact that the gym I switched over to now closes @ 9:45 p.m. and I couldn't train until 10:30 p.m. I still managed to train hard to make up for me being a bum and waking up late. One thing I will admit is that I definitely noticed a difference now that I took it for a few days and then missed a dose.I realized that I got fuller faster as opposed to when I take it where as I can eat a whole plate of food and I will still have some room for a little snack like a cup of cottage cheese and such. I'm going to give it a run for a bit longer starting tomorrow and then skip a day soon to see how I fare and compare how I feel when I don't to when I do take BH. Until tomorrow my brothers & sisters! Off to bed to put the muscles in repair mode!

So far, this Black Hole is going "okay". Nothing miraculous, nothing amazing. I have been advised to stack it with other appetite stimulating product if I'm looking for greater more dramatic results but the way I see it is I shouldn't have to stack more than one creatine to "gain more dramatic results" or "optimize my gains". Company reps are probably one of those most retarded people on the planet.
As of now, I can't honestly say I would recommend the product but I'm going to wait until the end of my bottle to give an honest opinion. I would rather get a prescription appetite stimulator or order some alfalfa. I haven't found myself eating much more except I might not tend to be as full at the end of my meal, therefore leaving some room for a cup of cottage cheese, maybe yogurt mixed with protein powder or a banana but that's about it.If companies would just make claims of the exact thing that the product was supposed to do and leave out the enticing wording or marketing words, maybe I wouldn't be disappointed.

Well, just finished up the Black Hole today. I can't honestly say I would recommend it to anyone. I must say, overall, I am not the least bit impressed. One thing I noticed is that I was able to pack a bit more into every meal therefore leading to larger meals but in the end, getting me an average of about 100 calories or so extra per meal but regardless, I got the same effect taking alfalfa. We recommend alfalfa to the patients @ the office looking for an appetite stimulant and we have yet to receive a complaint. On another note, considering I didn't spend any money on the product, I can't say I'm completely disappointed but based on the price I found it for the other day at my local Vitamin Shoppe for close to 30 dollars, I wouldn't personally buy it. The product has no published studies backing it up and I don't believe I would be able to get my money back in any case if I did happen to buy it so I'll pass on losing my money
I'm still contemplating if I should pop the second bottle open and give it an 8 week review instead of just 4.
