Its from a root. Most health food shops sell it.

Actually my mate swore it was one of the best things that helped him kick a 10 year meth habit. No bullshit.

Best way i can describe the mental benefits is when you go to do something and second guess your self. It stops a lot of that and makes it easier to make decisions

Very interesting, and to be honest I'm actually very surprised the shit isn't f**king scheduled the way our government reacts to any compound that has well....ANY effect whatsoever on our bodies.

Further, I actually thought it was nothing more than a flavour of the month supplement jumping on the "superfood" bullshit bandwagon. A fad which would soon pass once the myriad of stupid little girls and their goldfish memory capacity forgot about it. Like garcinia cambogia.....the joke that shit is lol

Will do some reading and consider getting a sample from my mate's shop :)

what kind of shoulder injury? My opinion on shoulders if you do a good amount of damage they are fuct for good. Know from experience. Try narrow grip bench and shoulder press not as narrow as a triceps bench but half way between that and normal style bench. Has done mine wonders

Just a minor tendon strain.

Have had one before, other side, and recovered fine over time.

Had a big gym session on a Friday, then 6-7hrs in the yard the next day, then another the day after and strained it. Had a full week off so far after doing one session and it not feeling right.

Will give it another week at least I'd say.

Mmmm, I'm a little skeptical...

Why isn't this more widely known if it's the bee's knees.

As Triggerhappy said, it's more well-known in the general 'naturopath/health food' scene than the gym/fitness scene.

That, and most sites I had a read of just now completely and utterly lacked ANY sources for their vague and not even remotely guaranteed claims - scientific or anecdotal.

Regardless, cheap cheap so why the hell not. Bulk Nutrients do it for $55/kg, listing a normal dose as anywhere from 2 - 6g daily. So yeah, f**k all.

Wow that is cheap we have been paying a lot more than that. In saying that I dont buy much online apart from second hand goods. Im one of those people that pays more to support local business. That might change seeing that price though

Bulk Nutrients are Australian owned (and most if not all of their products are Australian produce too). There's irony in going into a 'local business' to 'support them', then buying an imported product from an overseas company :P

Plus I give no f**ks for the bleeding hearts of (most) small businesses. Fit in or f**k off. There's significantly more detrimental things for small business going on in our country than online shopping :P perhaps something that actually resulted in the average person having enough cash to spend on whatever goods they're after so they don't even feel the need to bargain hunt online lol

TL;DR - buying BN products is almost certainly supporting local businesses and therefor Australian jobs more than paying 3x what you should be for an imported product from your 'local supp store', imo.

Same here :) cheapest, and Aussie owned+manufactured :D

Unless of course it's something my mate stocks in his supp store. Then I'd rather support him, lol. Though this is only for things like Quest bars and PB2 etc. Stuff you can't buy from BN because it isn't simply just a single "product" like whey, beta-alanine, etc :)

The lack of credible resources was something I noted too.

I might think about it when my shoulder comes good and i start to get back into "loads" rather than light BS.

Try it.. Cheap if you dont like it ill buy the rest off you.

Its better known in healthfood rather than gym scene

yes

I use Maca with the green Natures own powder stuff.

I like to think its a healthy mid morning drink.

Its easy to use as the dry powders fit in a small Tupperware container so I can just throw it in my work or gym bag and make it up when I want.

The taste is one that you get use to, the green stuff is nice but the maca's nutty flavour is fairly strong and almost overpowers the flavour.

All up it works out to be about $1 per serve.

Do I get results, not sure but I'm feeling healthy, don't need to strangle to many people and take a dump like clock work.

    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
