Start with 1 capsules two times per day 30 minutes before morning and afternoon meal. Most find the best effects when working up to 2 capsules twice per day.

You would have to talk with your doctor about this. Even though it could be fine, only a MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL can make that determination for sure.

Latest report on Meltdown...

On 6/7 I have a guest posing appearance at a bodybuilding competition, and then will be competing on 6/28. I started my preparation 8 weeks out from the guest posing date. I decided to use Meltdown for the entire 8 weeks and see how it does for me in a true cutting phase. I should also mention I have been using VPX's soon to be released SYNTHESIZE as well as a post workout drink. My plan was to be in good condition for the guest appearance, but of course to peak for the comepetition.

Well, I am quickly approaching the hardest condition of my life (at age 39), while also holding the most lean bodyweight ever! But here is the kicker...I compared my notes from the last time I dieted down in 2006 and not only am I eating about 15% more calories at this point, but I am only averaging about 45 minutes of cardio a day, while in 2006 I was averaging 60 minutes of cardio per day. Thus, I am eating more, doing less cardio and yet I am losing bodyfat and holding muscle at a greater rate than 2 years ago (and we all know that your metabolism slows as you age)!!

It looks like I will be in contest READY condition for the guest posing and then who knows where I will be by competition day 3 weeks later.

Meltdown has not only provided me with fantastic fat loss, but also seems to help spare lean tissue, and all while eating more calories and doing less cardio (which is probably the related but indirect reason why I am carrying more muscle).

The SYNTHESIZE is defintely helping as well, as my recovery from training has been not short of excellent, and my strength is staying rather steady throughout my prep (which is not normal).

Meltdown and Synthesize is certainly a radically potent combination, especially when combined with proper diet and training. VPX is definitely pushing the physique transformation barriers.

You're preparing for a contest, just wondering what else are you using besides this supplement that may be contributing to your success?

As Prince was so kind to point out, yes, I work with VPX and they do pay me. That is a fact that I did not hide from the very beginning of this thread. I should also point out that I have had the choice to work with and get paid by several companies and I CHOSE VPX because they are doing the best work in my opinion. They are working with the finest chemists...spending the most money on research...properly testing their products before release...and investing in the the most innovative/state of the art manufacturing equipment right on premise so they can oversee the entire production rather than outsourse it to others. The CEO of VPX has a sincere interest in producing true performance enhancing/physique transforming supplements for top athletes.

As to YOUR question, aside from using the MD and SS I am only using my normal supplement regimen:

-BCAA/glutamine combo (upwards of 30 g each per day)
-multivitamin/mineral
-vitamin C
-Udo's Choice Oil
-natural test booster/estrogen antagonist

Gotcha, I was just wondering because usually competitors use anabolics as well-and it's almost impossible to attribute pre-contest success to a supplement when anabolics are in the equation...

Understood. However, I am a drug free competitor.

This thread has been great help to me! Today I went out and got my first bottle of VPX Meltdown! I am so excited to see how it works for me. I just took 1 capsule because I want to see how I feel even though I already worked out this morning. In december 2007 I weighed 260 pounds and I worked out and totally changed my diet and today I am proud to say I weigh 183 pounds. But i have noticed I am beginning to plateau. So hopefully the Meltdown will help me get down to the 170 I want to see and look even more ripped!

I was wondering if I should be taking the regular 3 capsules per day on non-weight training days still. If I am only doing Cardio on a day should I still be taking the full dosage?

Meltdown has been receiving fantastic feedback from the majority of users, and I hope you get great results as well!

Take the full dosage everyday. You can take 1 capsule 3 X per day 30 min before meals or 2 caps before training or cardio and 1 capsule at another time per day. Remember, some people do better on slightly higher doses as well...I take 6 per day, but work up to this does over the course of a few weeks. Most do well on anywhere between 3-6 caps per day.

Just be careful and never take more than your body needs to get good results.

I just wanted to say, I just came off a month of this product and I am very pleased with the out come. I lost 15 pounds on it (with not alot of cardio). The best thing I liked about this product was it attacked my problem areas (Mid-Section) I love this product and will take again.

Thank you SO MUCH for that feedback. So far, most people have been extremely pleased with Meltdown and have been getting great results. I am very happy to know that you would want to use MD again!

I gave my last bottle of old Meltdown away...

Ecstasy for the mind and testosterone for the body...the perfect combination! Let me stop dreaming now. Gopro, since you are using the new formula, how are you limiting adrenal fatigue? The happy effects sound good, by the way.

Meltdown does not seem to give me adrenal fatigue like the old ephedra-based formulas did. However, I DO notice a drop off in effect after 6 straight weeks of use. Thus, I limit my cycles to 6 weeks and take off 4 full weeks from stims in between. This seems to keep my system running very smoothly and efficiently.

I can also attest to that I use to crash hard and long coming off ephedra and when I ran my meltdown log that was one of the biggest bright spots. I had no crash coming off it which was wonderful
