Default Check out this supplement!!!

Hi guys,just wondering has anyone here ever supplemented using this: Norateen Heavyweight 2.

Links removed:
Norateen Heavyweight 2 LA Muscle, Norateen Heavyweight II LA Muscle is a strong anabolic for body builders, Norateen Heavyweight 2 is a strong anabolic supplement compared to some steroids in gains but 100% natural

I have been working out for the past 8 weeks and i am making good progress. However i am thinking about taking some supplements, just to see how i get on and if they do in fact make a difference. I know there's no magic pill out there and that it takes a lot of hard work and patience, but i am 100% commited and really enjoy working out.

Looking for some info on the above supplement, and advice would be greatly appreciated. Please just let know what you guys think about it. They claim that its stronger than steroids but with none of the side effects. Don't know myself but i am thinking about purchasing it.

Im not familiar with that product. But I can tell you by the claims its making, its a typical exaggeration of a mediocore product at best.

Just another product on the market...I agree with Nite. Are there any published studies on the product proving it works?

Not sure about published studies but there was a 25 minute discussion on the BBC (one of our top tv channels), they were not talking about how it didn't work. They were saying that it was too strong and drug like. Apparently the English rugby team use this product. Oh ya, there are a few publications in Mens Health magazine. They selected 8 men and put them on this product along with a few others for 8 weeks and published their results.
These men were put on a strict training and diet regime. Here's just one example of the results:

At the end of the 8 weeks, Jason put on 4.5 kgs, lost 1.2% bodyfat, increased his arms by 4 cms, chest by 6cms, shoulders by 10cms and legs by 6 cms. A Massive change on body shape and body composition.

I really don't know myself, thats why im asking you guys,but why would they be on the BBC saying that this product is too strong!!

i really considered buyin this myself about 12months ago after reading that it was STRONGER than dianabol??????????????
its a natural test booster with i think an added ingredient- beta edcrystone or some thin like that if i havent spelt it right.
i asked the same question your asking on...
bodybuilding.com
nicemuscle.com
musclemayhem.com
anabolicminds.com
etc....etc.......etc....
and around 70% said dont waste your money
25% said it was average(which is stupid based on the price)
and 5% said it was good and most of these were newbies..
you may aswell keep your money and buy yourself and extra 20-30lbs of pure whey.........

its probably a strong natural builder but to compare it to sterids is stupid.
plus the methoxy isoflavone dosage is lower than the dosage in the animal m stak and thats a product thats had a lot of stick beleive me.

in my first 12 months of training i had good progress with....

200g protein a day
liquid aminos..
creatine...
zma....
fish oil...

i went from 149lbs - 174lbs in twelve months..
the first 12months are when you seem to gain quicker in my opinion.
it slows down after that but you seem to get more solid after that.
hope this helps..
if you lookin for more adventurous supps then say so ill have a look.....

Well, pumpedup, I see 2 ingredients in there that to me are worthless and recent studies are backing that up. They just arent effective. Those 2 ingredients are....

ecdysterone
isoflavone

Ecdysterone is not effective unless you are an insect. Isoflavones have not lived up to all thier hype either and also shown not to be effective.

My opinion, dont buy it.

I wouldn't be surprised if you had tried it yourself

Are you recommending a product just based on "reviews"? You mean....based solely on people's "educated" opinion? Anything else or is that it?

Do you honestly expect me to use this product. I have already came across this product last week and have heard from a few people that its serious crap, you know this already so why ask me to try it out? If yout that curious about it why not try it yourself?

QUOTE:
yeah knew its a load of crap. it was just really buggin me cause all i found on octocosanol was stuff about cholest... and other stuff..
why do they bother to say its a really potent sterol when all you have to do is look it up. do people really spend money on stuff before even knowing what it is
END QUOTE.

If i was going to try anything it would be the product i mentioned before (norateen heavyweight 2) like i said before there was a 25 min discusion on this product on the BBC. Not one person said it didnt work, they were saying how it was too strong and drug like and that it should be banned. Why would they have a 25 minute discusion on tv saying it should be banned because of its strenght if it didnt work. These people had nothing to gain by making these statements. The english rugby rugby team use this product and have got results from it. I was hopeing that someone here might have tried it out and could let me know what kind of results they got.
Dont know might give it a go and let you know how i get on. I'll also be taking whey protein and creatine, and might try out glut, arginine and leucine.
Whats your opinion on glut, arginine and leucine??
