I wish supps were this cheap in the UK!

Postby james ellis on Fri Aug 15, 2008 9:24 pm

Well, just returned from Texas with my Geranamine (25mg x 200 caps for about $30) and also picked up some very cheap discount stuff from GNC store, get this - EAS protein bars (low carb ones) with 25g Whey for 75c each!! (on sale due to expiring in October) So i bought 20 and lugged em back in my suitcase....

Also picked up a OTC fat burner that was on sale - ISatori "MX-LST". Seems to have a rather OTT mix of legal matabo boosters, thyroid boosters and weak stims - Green Tea, 7 Keto, Caff, Citrus Aurantium, Tyrosine, Gugglesterones, Theobromide, Evodiamine and more.... 120 caps for $25 (about £13!)
(Gonna start ingesting that with my geranamine stack next week)

Plus the GNC CEE equivalent was really really good, better than their UK stuff.


They had some new OTC product called FASTIN that the guy in the shop was raving about, the ingredients all ended in "-edrine" or "-anine" so its sounded very chemical! Didnt see any of the usual stuff in it apart from geranamine. Apparently its been selling like hotcakes, and i dont think he was giving me that hard sell. Was tempted but i figured how may fat burners do i actually need....


Mmmm mmm..... more pills

Id be a little wary to say the least of supps in the USA after watching Bigger, Faster, Stronger.. seems theyre arent too many controls over there.

It is odd what you can buy over the counter there though, Wallgreens must be a like a sweet shop to a our Chav scum.

Whats that? Sounds interesting

Yeah, the GNC store had half the shop devoted to colourful bottles. One guy even bought back a tub of Muscletech NanoVapor cause he had tried it and didnt like it and they let him swop it for another product!

They are crazy on NO2 products, single serving sachets, bottled versions etc. Even in the supermarkets and places like Walgreens etc like u said. All the skinny kids out there wear white vests and stick their chests and shoulders out.... lol

Aye Valentino, however when you watch the movie, he comes over a lot more intelligent than the news clips everyone knows him for.

Good call, yeah i thought so... I tried it once or twice already when out there. Just gotta work out the perfect stack and timing, one pre-cardio, and another later in the day. I still noticed a little bit of a Eph style "strung out" feeling afterwards though... despite rave reviews that its side-free.

Just thought of a good caption for FASTIN, especially in gullible USA female dieters market:


"FASTIN" .... its almost as bad for you as real "fasting" (but much more expensive)

The GNC's in the states are hugely different from ours. I assume it had the token locked glass cabinate with all the dodgy stuff in there.

If you're cheeky then ask for a Gold Card and get another 20% off. I always do this in NY and they don't care that I'm "out of state" :)
