A friend of mine recently recommended Jack3d to me, and after doing research and various searches online, I wanted to create a thread here to get opinions from those that lifted weights and are familiar with the supplement.
For those not familiar, I've posted a few links that should get you up to speed, if interested:
I'd like this thread to be open and free flowing to all things Jack3d related, but I did have a few specific questions/concerns of my own:
- 1) Is the creatine found in Jack3d likely going to result in adding water mass to my body? In other words, by using Jack3d, will I be adding mass in the same way those that take creatine do, or are there different types of creatine?
2) How concerned should I be about Jack3d? The second article I listed indicates that there are multiple substances that very little is known about, and that alone generally causes red flags to go off in my experience. The article indicates that negative side effects are possible when the product is abused, but couldn't it also be dangerous if taken at recommended doses?
As of right now, I am taking whey protein, and nothing else. I eat well, lift regularly, and am healthy and in good shape. A friend recommended Jack3d as a way to increase the productivity of my workouts, but after doing research, it seems too good to be true, with the added risk of potential health concerns, or at least uncertainties.
To date, I've reached the health and fitness level I'm at through hard work and a healthy diet, and there is a nagging feeling that by starting to use Jack3d, I may be headed down a road I'm ultimately not interested in: one of unknown substances and health risks at the cost of my own well being and comfort.
I'm very stringent in regards to what I put into my body, and thus am leaning against taking Jack3d, but I wanted to create a thread and seek out further information and opinions. Thus, if you have any experience with the product, I'd appreciate you sharing your thoughts and opinion regarding its use.
