Thread: GNC good buy or just trying to make sale??

I went into GNC to get some fish oils, and more P shakes, and i asked the guy what is the next best thing to steriods thats legal. He told me about this P6 extreme made by Cellucor http://www.cellucor.com/pages/index....t_details&id=2 . (read the testimonials too) He told me in 6 to 8 weeks of using this i would see huge results. Just wondering what other people thing about this product.

Little bit about it:

Key Element #1.
The first mechanism found in P6 to help maximize your anabolic state involves steroidal saponins and natural testosterone production. These saponins indirectly stimulate the pituitary gland to increase LH (luteinizing hormone), which is responsible for signaling testosterone production. Keep in mind, not all steroidal saponins are created equal. After testing various compounds and new processing methods, we developed a novel formulation of herbs containing an extremely high level of active steroidal saponins. This advanced blend, which is exclusively found in P6 , contains the following components: Probesterol™, Fenusterols®, and Chlorophytum Borivilianum.


Key Element #2.
Another mechanism found in P6 to help maximize your anabolic state involves IGF-1 and testosterone. IGF-1 contains various growth factors which have been shown to increase testosterone through a process called steroidogenesis, or the synthesis of steroid hormones. Therefore, we added an innovative IGF-1 co-factor called Ketovar™ to further enhance your anabolic state while taking P6 .


Key Element #3.
As a beneficial and preventative measure, we added a third mechanism to P6 involving hormone conversion. Since the body has a tendency to convert excess testosterone to estrogen, we added Diindolynmethane, a “true” estrogen blocker, to do the following: 1) Reduce the potential negative side effects associated with estrogen build-up and 2) Enhance the anabolic effects of P6 by allowing your excess testosterone to remain in a “free” and unbound state.


Key Element #4.
And finally, to enhance the anabolic effects of P6 to a level we consider “EXTREME , ” we focused on inhibiting the CYP3A4 enzyme. This enzyme plays a key role in regulating the actual absorption levels of various drugs and chemicals after they are ingested. By adding a specific form of Dihydroxybergamottin, which has been shown to inhibit the release of this enzyme, we were able to dramatically improve the overall absorption of P6 .

Sounds like a blend of testosterone and anabolics,from the ingredients listed. The anabolics now adays really suck. Testosterone takes like 6 to 8 weeks. But does work a little bit probably not what you're looking for. The only benefit at Gnc is that you can bring a product if its not working for under a 30day period. So use it to your advantage.
