Gopro - Have you changed your mind yet?

I was doing a search on 1-test products and I see in one thread you said you dont know enough about avantlabs yet to know if you could trust them.

Is this still your opinion or has your view changed?

Dorian from England huh (Yates?...just kidding). I'm curious as to why you ask me this. Are you a representative/owner/employee of Avant Labs or are you just interested in my opinion?

Avantlabs have no ties overseas, so no he's not.

I think he just values your opinion greatly.

Well, ok, however, I want to hear what he has to say. I have never seen him here before and am aware that he posts frequently at other boards. I am curious as to what made him come to IM to seek my opinion out.

This is not meant to be abnoxious or anything, so I hope it won't be perceived as such.

Hey Gopro,

I have been browsing these boards for a while but never really needed to post much. Yes I do frequent other boards but not as Dorian.

The reason I ask the question is that I am evaluating my options for various pro hormones and it doesnt take much reading here to discover you are the one everyone goes to.

Anyway I have used AST 4-ad and got nothing from it, apart form acne so I have been looking at my options as I wish to try another cycle. Like most peple I have come to the choice of 1-AD by Ergopharm or ONE from Avantlabs. From my search here it seems most peole go for ONE. Now I was reday to go order some and then I came across your post that they havnt been around for longer and you didnt know if you could trust them. So hey I am now thinking I am going to be putting this stuff in my body and here is a highly respected individual with doubts. So naturally I would like to be as sure as I can. Hence why I asked if you still held the same opinion.

As for me maybe being Yates maybe not.....I would hate to be that small.!!!!!!!!!!

Rob was right, Rob was right, Rob was right...


Dorian, from what i hear, AST are known to not meet amounts in their products as stated on their labels -especially as far as PH's go.

AST is a reputable firm for other products, but for the PH/PS market, stick with the companies that have been sworn by. Ergopharm is one of them, so you're on the right track now.

Ok Dorian...fair enough. My opinion on Avant Labs products has changed somewhat. I have never used them myself and have never tested them on any of my clients, however, I have been speaking to many individuals with "inside info" and to others that HAVE used Avant (I should mention that the only people I know about that have used them are on the net...never met anyone in person that has used them).

I have ony "heard" good things about their products and their effectiveness, so although they are a smaller player in the world of supps, they have a growing positive reputation.

I can speak more "directly" about SAN, VPX, BIOTEST, Molecular Nutrition, and Ergopharm regarding prohormones, however.

In general I can tell you that people seem to be getting the best results with 1-Test (although 1-AD isn't far behind). Even better gains can be had with 4-AD as a stack, but that also increases side effect possibilities.

It's a southern expression.

In the north we say "kidda", or "wor kid".

or "man", although that matters less since, particularly people from my city, say "man" at the end of pretty much every sentence.
