SUPER HD EXTREME & CLK – by Cellucor – Introduction
Confession: I this is a late post - I am already half way through this product. But better to introduce late then never.
So in the past I have used Cellucor products and I have
enjoyed them. I secretly have been
suspicious of them from their initial launch.
They do a great job of marketing, branding, and packaging – and as
someone who studies business I have always questioned why something would need
to be so good at those things – it always made me question quality. But even in the past I have enjoyed using
various products, and I have had varied results.
This times I did something a little different. In the past I have used their Super HD prouct
(green lablel), and I remember stacking it with something, and I felt that it
did something (but I didn’t remember what).
On thing about Cellucor products is that they are not cheap – so this
holiday season there was a Black Friday sale at GNC and I decided now is the time
to give the brand their change to me tracked as they should have been
before. What is different this time is
that I have changed up a little bit of their recommendations.
They have a combo pack for weight loss pictured below which
has a months worth of Super HD and half a month of CLK (non-stimulant formula)
– it is supposed to be for maximum weight loss.
I figured I would do this combo – however, since they have
launched that combo, they have also launched a new product called Super HD
Extreme! Well EXTREME must be better,
right! So rather than do the regular
combo I UPGRADED to the Extreme formula, something I have never tried before.
Now in order to actually have a months worth of the combo I
needed to purchase one bottle of Super HD Extreme, and I had to purchase two
bottles of the CLK. The total retail
cost is somewhere around $130 bucks for the month.
Super HD Extreme: This
is touted as Cellucors new “Weight Loss” Supplement with “Powerful Energy
Intensifier and Mood Support.”
The instructions are to take one capsule in the morning and
one in the afternoon – and it is NOT recommended to take any more than
that. As per ingredients there are a
number of registered, trademarked, and patented ingredients that I have never
heard of – but many of them apparently have some form of Caffeine in them. There is a small comment on the bottle that
each pill contains 300 mg of caffeine!
So although I usually can give some background on what the ingredients
are intended to do – this time the only one I recognize is Cayenne Pepper.
CLK: This is a
non-stimulant weight loss formula, perfect for stacking because it does not
have any caffeine or stimulants at all.
In a nutshell, I am sure that CLK stands for CLA + Ketones (Raspberry). The
principle ingredients in the three capsules (2x a day) is 1.7 g from CLA and a
“Toning Blend” with Raspberry Ketones, and a few other ingredients.
The capsules are kind
of fun. They are red, and they smell
like raspberries. Cute little thing.
The Regimen: To
wake up and take one Super HD Extreme and three CLK in the morning; and then a
second dose of both in the afternoon.
With that I will continue my morning workouts averaging 1 hour of cardio
and some weights.
We will see how this rolls.
