thats what i thought. but at the same time alot of those i have no idea what they are. is this worth taking?

 

[deejay7721]

well i have been taking these the last couple of days. usually just 4 a day, 6 seems like alot to me. i took some saturday about 30 min before my workout, no jitters. i went hard on every lift. i had probablly my best work out in months. and after my workout i still had tons of energy. i dont know if the pills had much of an effect, but my lifts and cardio seemed to be alot easier. i did crash after about an hour and a half after my workout.
