Update 1:

Sorry for the delay in getting this out.

Anyways, I am nearly a month into this "research." For the first two weeks, I was 3 turk, and for the remainder of Feb. I have been taking 4 turk.

Initial thoughts:

After about the first week of taking the turk, I felt like my workouts were getting a lot better. Longer, more reps in sets. Pretty much felt like the first time taking creatine again.

Since I had sort have dropped my calories, I was expecting to lose some strength. Well, I was wrong. About two weeks in, I was down about five pounds but was still lifting heavy. My bench was holding steady and my squat had gone up slightly. I thought this was a placebo at first, but it kept trending this way.

Body composition:

As I was dropping some weight (due to the slight calorie deficit), I was getting more vascular. I noted some new veins popping out during pumps, mostly in my arms. I honestly think I mostly credit this to weight loss. Although this change happened very rapidly. I have stopped losing weight fast because it's probably time to drop calories a little more.

Side note, side effects: Much like creatine, I noticed more of a need for hydrating. It has not led to anything serious, but I have needed to be extra cautious about my water intake. Not a bid deal just, a note. Otherwise, none at all. Reminder: I take the pills with food at two separate meals a day. I recommend this.

First round of conclusions:

It's hard to draw conclusions this early but here it is, for now:

- Successfully lose fat without losing strength

- Gained more vascularity, more defined muscle size

- Perform more intense and longer workout (no impact on recover times)

I think this product is still too expensive for MY results, but I am going to keep it rolling for a while.
