Been using syntheSIZE for about 2 weeks now. Tastes pretty good actually and I look forward to drinking it (yes im weird)
my dosing scheme has been: 1 serving with breakfast, 1 serving imm. post-WO (during med-intensity cardio) w/ whey, 1 serving with my 2nd to last meal of the day
--I've noticed better recovery on it, for example:
I work out 4 days on/1 day off. Before syntheSIZE, by the time i got to the 4th day I was pretty damn sore, questioned whether or not I was going to workout. Now I feel pretty confident going into that 4th day. Also, I have been able to increase my cardio, while still recovering great.
--Mild strength increase. Nothing crazy, but I've found I'm able to get an extra rep out on sets. This is something I used to get from creatine mono but don't seem to anymore.
--Less bloating with meals taken with synthesize
--"Better" sleep. I've been using ALCAR (~4-5 g QD) and found myself waking up super-early (sometimes in the middle of the night) despite being out late at night. Now I can sleep a solid 8 hours and wake up refreshed.
I will probably buy a few more bottles of the beta while its no sale, though I'm not sure I would purchase this if the price rose above 35 dollars. This product has a great ingredient profile, I can't wait to see the product that is supposed to be stacked with this.

Very nice, man. Much appreciated.
Hell, I'm excited too. I can't wait until the pre-workout drinks and the MRP are out.
Yeah, buy up the beta while you can at that price.

Agreed. SyntheSIZE in great stuff. I added a bottle of NOW glucosamine SO4 to mine. I've been using 3-4 servings per day and am slowly gaining strength while dropping weight. I'm pumped all day, even on an an extremely low-carb diet.

Word, keep us posted as the bottle gets wilted down.
I have smashed close to 4 tubs since the New Year -- love it.

That's a lot of ALCAR you're consuming. You say this is improving your sleep quality or do you overall need less sleep?

I don't think I appreciated SyntheSIZE enough until I stopped using it for a week. Oh man. And it is definitly a great hangover preventative/fix.

I started using SyntheSIZE again while cutting and I definitely am more full and have better endurance.
I'm kicking myself for not doing this since the beginning.

Before the syntheSIZE I was just sleeping less (5-6 hours/night)
now that i've began using it has slightly increased quality (not as though the quality was bad before, just slightly better) and duration (7-9 hours/night)

Are you dosing before, during, or after meals?
I found great success dosing it before, but it tended to kill my fragile appetite.
Currently I've been dosing it after my last bite, and I'm surprised to say it might even be working better.
I have yet to add glucosamine to it, but I'm looking forward to trying that soon.

After a few days, Synthesize gives me bad stomach/intestinal cramps. Lame.

Honestly, I'm only noticing marginal benefit from SyntheSize. I think I get more out of creatine monohydrate. I'm on my 5th tub of it so it's not like I didn't give it a fair shot.
Sir Savage
Jul 21 2007, 10:45 AM
Funny you should mention creatine monohydrate, since there will be improvements to SyntheSIZE final.
Jay Black
Jul 21 2007, 12:58 PM
Thank God. Hopefully the taste as well?
BTW, in all fairness, I don't think I respond to CEE anyway. When I used it by itself I didn't get anything out of it either, but creatine mono with the rest of the junk in SyntheSize might be mint.
Sir Savage
Jul 21 2007, 01:24 PM
Yeah, I just got the flavored samples- taste is going to be a lot better, full of orangey goodness.
We figured that a very fast absorbing creatine (CEE) matched with a slow absorbing creatine (CM) would be money. The best of both worlds.
Plus, with the two pre-workout drinks and SuperCarb, Lawd have mercy.

Aye. Good deal, mate.

I have about 1 full tub of LG Basic sitting in my fridge. I know it contains glucosamine, so would it be a bad idea to combine it with SyntheSIZE during my recomp?

basically during the meals, maybe 5 minutes before. i'll give it a try dosing after the meals though.

Only if you are a fatty. I don't recall the bf % cutoff though; 10% would surely be OK.

I just had to add: I'm hitting new PB's every workout with this stuff.
I hope the new flavor isn't overpowering like some of the fruity wheys out there. Don't mess with my syntheSIZE!

Great to hear.
But nah, shouldn't be overpowering. It actually tastes pretty damn good. I think orange masks the ingredients very well.

oh shit...everyone rush to nutra and pick up synthesize... 22.95!

Holy shit.
I had no idea they were going to do that.
Damn, spread the word. Stock up before the final comes out 'cause trust me, it ain't gonna' be no 22.95.

Pretty similar to the original Leptigen in that regard, minus the precursors like tyrosine, 5-HTP, etc.
