I'm thinking about trying it...It's just mighty expensive, so if anyone has had good or bad experiences with it...let me know!

I would save the money and just watch clalories. There are scientific studies that support some of the ingredients that promote fat loss, such as yohimbine (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17214405).

For me I don't like playing games with my body on supplements that are really unknown. But the advertisment does say:

Yeah, I tried them a while back. I had to take a couple, 3, to feel anything. I honestly didn't lose anymore fat on them than I did when I didn't use them. I just felt jumpy. Eating right is the way to go. Save the money.

I see T-Nation recommending them in some of their programs where you are on uber low carbs. The extra little kick might give you the energy you need to have a good workout. But after trying those approaches I would rather eat a healthy amount of food and cut on a proper hypo-caloric diet.

i tried them for a couple months awhile back. didn't do anything for me that a couple cups of coffee or a low carb monster couldn't. i'd much rather spend the money on xtend or another bcaa during a cut.
