Plasmavol by NxLabs - Your thoughts

[Ross86]

Hey guys. Looked all over the forum and couldn't find any references to this supplement. Please point me in the right direction if someone has already posted.

It says "It's not creatine." But it has "Creatine glycerol esther" in it which allows creatine to be absorbed more readily. And it supposedly gives an immediate pump.

I'm not sure if this is worth the money. I will already absorb creatine without Plasmavol. I will create my own pump shortly after entering the gym. Is it safe and is there any logic in the description of the product?

Thanks

Mannitol:

Exclusive Plasma Expansion Complex contains mannitol (a pharmaceutical-strength compound used in hospitals to control brain swelling in critical patients). Mannitol cranks up blood plasma volume by pulling interstitial fluid into the blood for an increase in plasma volume. End result: an explosion of vascularity and muscle pumps.

Just read that, sounds like two things to me. First, bullshit, second someone hungry to take your money. I have never used this stuff, nor will I, you can make gains without it. I cant find how expensive it is, but if its on par with the rest of the stuff on that site, you would be better off just using bulk glycerol, citruline, and some beta alanine.

Yeah, that's about what I figured. I was reading the crap written on the Plasmavol box today and it had a testimony from a guy that said he gained 15 pounds of mostly lean body mass in 4 workouts. It looks like they would realize that if they write stuff that is so obviously bull shit that people might figure out that it's bull shit. But then again, these companies know what they're doing so I guess it's a testament to how gullible so many people are.

^^ Well put Ross.

Mannitol=diarrhea for a lot of people. Before it can pull in fluid to your veins it will do it in the gut. And increasing blood volume, lol, is like diluting your blood. Even if it's true that can't be good, can it?

These companies will say anything.

Took one serving, once, just to see what it was like... A friend had it... Didn't do anything, not to mention it tasted like dish soap!!

Some companies (like this one) is out solely to make money off of gullible people. Just keep the bullshit detector working and you will be better off.
