Cheaper supplements...

ponyboy · 07-03-2002, 10:13 AM

Well, judging from the advice given on this board (thanks to all), my buddy decided to go ahead with the tribulus products. However, he decided to go with Acetabolan II from Muscletech because it was a) cheaper and b) had a ZMA stack included with it (they call it Zinctech, but it's basic ZMA). The amount of tribulus was the same as Tribestan on a daily dose. What concerned me is that it was cheaper ($30 for a 20 day supply as opposed to $50 for Tribestan). I'm of the mind that you get what you pay for and I'm not a big fan of Muscletech myself. Should I tell him to switch after he is done the first three weeks?

IMO many companies charge more for their supps because they pay more for marketing (like Muscletech).

Don't know how to answer that, but I take 4 a day. Two in the morning and two in the afternoon. I also take ZMA before bed. My Tribulus is $9.75 for 100 capsules. I don't remember what I paid for the ZMA.

$50 for 20 day supply, what is in it.

$9.75 for 100 caps!? Damn, that's a good price...Tribestan currently runs at $49.99 for I believe 60 tabs. This is Canadian dollars, but that's a pretty big difference. What brand do you use?

Optimum Nutrition, almost everything I get is Optimum Nutrition.
