Hey Chris,
On your website, how do I delete old addresses? I've moved twice since I started ordering from ALN, and my first address is still the default. Makes checking out a lot longer, as I need to change both the shipping and billing address. Could not find where to update customer info. I can add new addresses while ordering but not delete.
Thanks

Absolutely LOVE the Mint Novus Bars. I don't think they could be any better than they are. Cookie dough are okay, but the mint are fantastic! Can't wait for the next sale to stock up on them.

Cool, thanks for the comments!

Yep, it certainly does mix pretty easily. That is not to say there is no clumping, there is, but very minimal and you have to be looking for it, like I was

I just used water, taste was not bad at all.

I am going to use 1 scoop to start the day and 1 before bed, does this sound fine chris? I also noticed the powder contains Glutamine which I read in some fitness magazine was important for weight training but I'm not sure how much I need. Does Nitrean contain all I need?

I only ordered 8 Novus bars, but received 10, cool! Maybe someone made a mistake, but I like it. Can't wait to try one out tomorrow!

I have only been weight training seriously for a month and a half now and I am considering ordering results. I am on the fence as I'm a novice and not sure if I need it. The thing is, my training and diet puts me in a calorific deficit as I'm trying to lose some fat so results would help in this case, wouldn't it? I'm worried about Creatine and the amount of water I need to drink with it. I have to sit at a desk for long portions of time and I'm worried I'm going to be peeing every 25 minutes. Any advice? Thanks

No mistake on the bars, we send a couple extra with first time customers. Glad you like the Nitrean! I would go with 2 scoops in water just before bed.

RESULTS would be excellent for your purposes, but for now, just use the Creatine 500 (or caps). You DON'T need a lot of water with creatine. That is online myth. Just drink normally and you will be fine. Try to take the creatine with either a protein shake or some kind of juice.

I'm in pretty much exactly the same situation as Oenophile at the moment - just getting starting with a serious weight training routine (using and LOVING Nitrean), but my primary goal being fat loss, and considering adding creatine to the mix to help build/maintain lean muscle and not sure whether to go with Results or Creatine 500; what's the difference? Should I (we) go with Creatine 500 to get started and switch over to Results sometime down the road?

Like you are reading my mind!

Same question.

RESULTS is by FAR the better product in terms of sheer results (yeah, I know). The only negative if you are concerned about body fat (and the reason I said what I said to the other fellow) is the 80g of dextrose it claims. The dextrose is for an insulin spike which aids shuttling the other ingredients to the muscle cells and generalized protein synthesis. If you control for the carbs it is no problem and I personally lost about 20 lbs of fat in 30 days while losing almost no body fat while using RESULTS. You can see more about that here:

On a related note, we are running a HUGE special on both RESULTS and Creatine Caps right now. With the caps you buy one and get the 2nd at half price! RESULTS is even crazier, go to the site and check it out.

Gance · Mon, November 2nd, 2009, 09:08 AM

Just was about to order some Nitrean and Creatine from your site since I had heard you ship to Japan, but then I noticed the shipping price. $57!!! I canceled my order for now, but is this accurate? Is there no cheaper shipping way? :/

BJ · Mon, November 2nd, 2009, 02:09 PM

Chris - question for you regarding NITREAN (or any other protein supplement) along with other foods...

Are there any foods that reduce the effectiveness of the protein when eaten together?

The reason behind this question... I always eat raw pineapple after my shake. Just today I had the thought... "I wonder if the acidity of the pineapple is in any way detrimental to the shake I just drank"

Hopefully my ? is clear. Thanks for your response!

Clear question. I have not researched the matter, but I very much doubt the pineapple will cause any issues with respect to protein absorption.

That is exactly what USPS charges us to ship it to you. In short, I know of no cheaper way to do that would be reasonable.

Darn

Ok thanks.

I've had RESULTS on my shelf for a while and slowly went through a couple tubs. Honestly when I first tried it I could barely take the taste, and I would get all itchy and drowsy half an hour later.

Well I decided to get over that and give RESULTS an honest shot, and the last 2.5 weeks have been the first time I've taken it consistently enough to get a full loading. 1 hour before lifting or in the morning on non lifting days. It's tasting a lot better and I'm not getting all drowsy and itchy, and my last couple workouts have been INSANE. Absolutely nuts. Even though I have been cutting I was able to bump up my working weight 10 to 20 pounds depending on the exercise, or greatly increase the number of reps per set, and I was still bouncing around like a jackrabbit during rest periods. After these workouts I felt like I could run through a concrete wall or jump into low Earth orbit. Bodyfat is practically falling off me too. I feel just like Chris' account of when he tested the stuff. Maybe I'm an exceptional case, but my mind is officially blown and I just want the next 34 hours to pass so I can go lift again.

Chris, I am taking advantage of your RESULTS special. I just ordered 2 more tubs and another fat loss stack. Thanks for the awesome products.

chris mason · Thu, November 5th, 2009, 10:24 PM

Viking, you are welcome!

Yeah, it sounds like you are experiencing what I did. It really is a neat product.

Be sure to keep the unused tubs in the fridge or freezer to help them keep.

Oh, and for anyone who does not like the cherry (I hate it - we are getting rid of it), the orange is EXCELLENT.

Hmm never had the orange. Worth a shot.

I have a question about RESULTS. I do not see your company or product listed on the website of MTI, which holds the patent rights for HMB. Is the product licensed? If so, why isn't it listed?

Edit: Yes, it is licensed (I asked MTI - you should probably ask them to add you to the official list). Just wanted to make sure before ordering - right now I have HMB tablets, but when those run out I might order this (not sure about all the dextrose, though).

Yep, we're legit. That's a good idea on their site. Try the product, you will really like what you get from it. The HMB in combo with the creatine and beta alanine is VERY potent.
