san V12 question

i've heard really mixed reviews on this product

however its worth a try i guess

would i take it with my PWO shake?

or

would i have my whey and carbs shake PWO then have the v12 when i get home?

anyone tried this and had good results, it claims to be the shit!

peace

I love V12. Great stuff. I'm going back on it when my Swole runs out. U take it a half hour before breakfast (if I remember correctly). 2x a day on training day, and only once on non training days. I'd just mix it in water. Tastes pretty good anyway

Let me get this straight

On training days its like this...

1: 30 min before breakfast (like i do with creatine)
2: when else??? mixed with my PWO shake, or 30min afterwards?

On non-training days

1: 30min before breakfast as well? or 30 min before lunch? or mid-afternoon?...?

sounds good anyway, i finish creatine end of this month, feb will be a month off, then i'll try v12 in march

peace

I checked this out on 1fast and the directions say:

Take one level scoop twice daily mixed in 16 to 20 oz. of water, preferably 8 hours apart.

I'm 99% sure that the label said to take it a half hour before breakfast. Then, on training days, a second scoop 8 hrs later. Not sure if this was changed or just not included on 1fast.

I never take creatine with my shake anymore. I would recommend taking it in water.

You take it in the morning and then approx. 8 hrs later. Not necessarily post workout.

Ex. I work out in the morning, so 8 hrs after my morning dose, cannot be post workout.

Sorry...the simple answer is yes. You can take it in the evening when you get home. I tend to be long winded sometimes.

V12 basically is Creatine. It's Tricreatine Malate and Glycocyamine (which I believe is the delivery system).

I do cycle Creatine, but most will tell you its not necessary. Personally, I've had better results by taking time off from it after a few months of use. The label actually recommends taking time off "due to the potent nature" of the product. Not sure if that is marketing BS or not.

I doubt that. Why would a company market taking time off from using their product?

What do u doubt exactly??? That this info was on the label? You'd be wrong on that one. I checked the label from my old container last night. It does say that they recommend time off.

I think what he is saying he doubts its a marketing gimik if they say to cycle itand take time off.Reason being if you took it non stop they would make more money so it must not be BS.

I dont know..If you read some PH labels they try to really hype it up as this dangerous crazy drug. Tht way people will be like "Woah. This is gonna make me stupid huge cause its dangerous." Best example is if you walk into gnc and read the label on some of the PHs you see. I saw a 1-t brand called T-Bomb in there one day. It dosent have enough 1-T in it to put a gram of muscle on you, but their label is all like "This is a crazy steroid thats gona kill you, but will make you arnold in the process"

what about the warning? or the dosages?

I couldnt find the warning printed online..I forget the exact words, but I definately did get a chuckle outta it...(i guess Im sorry you didnt)

As for the dosages...at 50mg a pill, you would have to pop like 4-5 a day to see jack...

V12 has to be the best tasting and most productive creatine I've ever tried.
