SYNEGREX by Metabolic Nutrition – Review (C)
So this supplement was highly recommended, but you might
notice that I am combining the introduction and the review together. The reason for this is that I didn’t stay on
this product long enough to space the two out – it is probably just better that
I put them together.
INTRODUCTION – This product come highly recommended. When I say highly recommended, I mean by
everyone who has ever taken it. To the
extent that for any store to make a quick sale of this product all it requires
is the sales person whispering that they might take it off the shelves, and if
the customer has used it before they will stock up right there on as many
bottles as they can get. Seriously, this
was what I witnessed that peaked my interest.
This product is available at a number of Nutritional
Stores. I was first introduced to the
product a Complete Nutrition, but when I can find the same product at other
stores (which is RARE) I usually try and buy it somewhere else (as it will be cheaper). I purchased this one at my local whole good
store Good Earth for $39.99 – but I have seen this retail for as much as
$59.99.
INGREDIENTS –Hypothetically one of the selling points of
this supplement is that there are not hard core stimulants like eccessive
amounts of caffeine. Ironically, the
real selling point that I have heard again and again, is that this will give
you insane energy all day! I was
actually warned not to take more than one pill a day, even if you think you can
tolerate it. So somehow it is supposed
to JACK you UP, but not with anything dangerous…
The typical ingredients include: a selection of B
Vitamins (3,6,12) and Chromium . These
are typical in any wieghtloss/energy combo, and they are not in excessive
doses. Then their prorpietory blen
carries with it a number of other ingredients that is fairly common: Alpha
Lipoic Acid, Yohimbine and Sandalwood extract,
etc. Then there are a few weird
ingredients that I have no idea what they are Methylanthine and the such.
EXPERIENCE – Again, the big selling point really got me
excited about this supplement. But I
think there is something unique about me (doesn’t everyont think that) –
because this supplement did virtually nothing for me on any level.
Again, everyone before I bought this, and after I stopped
using it SWEARS by this. But my plan was
to continue to do the gym every day, use one pill in the morning, and if I felt
like I could “handle” it – jump up to two pills (one in the morning and one in
the afternoon). I really wanted to get
as much out of it as possible.
When I started the Supplement I noticed… NOTHING. I actually didn’t even really get a boost of
energy to get me to the gym…. AT ALL. I
was so disappointed. I stuck with one
pill for a week – got nothing out of it, and saw nothing on the scale change at
all. Then the second week I added a
second pill in the afternoon – possible according to direction but against
everyone elses warning, and saw… NOTHING!
By the middle of the second week, I started to us a pre-workout
just to get me up and going to the gym.
In addition to that I think I actually felt more tired. Before I had taken this I had done a ten day
cleanse to remove any remaining stimulants from my system so that I could make
sure it was okay.
After the second week I gave up on it… I was miserable…
not because the supplement made me miserable, but because I started to notice
that I no longer wanted to go the gym and it wasn’t fun anymore not seeing any
results in energy or on the scale.
I am giving this a C – I would normally give it an F for
me, and I will never use this again; however, I have seen people who love this
– and I can’t help but think that maybe it is something about my that is not
making this function as it should.
PLEASE NOTE: This review was written after the two week
cycle that took place in MARCH 2016 but wasn’t edited and posted until near the
end of that year.
