Usnic Acid Results

Most people have good results from 200-800mg daily. For in-depth results, plug "usnic acid" into the search function.
 
!!

For those in terested in my current experience with UA:

Stats: 5'11, 195 and 9.5 % body fat
Start date: 5/19/02
Beginning dosage: 500 mg/day
Goal: to lose 2 % body fat in 3 weeks based on UA alone!
Changes in diet: None (except mild 300 calorie drop overall)
Changes in work-out: none

Basically, I am DYING to mimic the great effects I got off of lipokinetics!!!! Hence....my trial run of UA begins.

4 complete days in....UA has not done "that much yet" at 500 mg day for 4 days now. I'm going to up the dosage to 1000 mg/day tomorrow to see what happens. I have noticed (at my current dosage of 500 mg/day) a slight added "heating effect" . I checked my body tempurate and it was 98.6^ ---perfect! Not high at all! I thought it was strange because I swear I'm a mildly hotter individual than normal.

I loved lipokinetics and I was hoping for a similar effect; however----not yet! : (

peace brutha's...
 
You got it CM!

I'll post on this as I go....once every 3-5 days or so. I'll also keep you guys posted on any changes I make.

Ps....I did begin the 1,000 mg today ( in 2 divided doses)

Wish me luck.....PEACE
 
Day 5 @ 1,000 mg

I went to the gym this afternoon and low-and-behold...I lost 2 pounds! The obvious comes to mind (it's probably water). Maybe it is?!
I'm just kkeping you posted as promissed. Upon switching from 500mg to 1,000----I definitely sweat more at the gym.
However, my temp is the same!
I'm going to buy another thermometer! I SWEAR I "feel" hotter!
F' the placebo sh*t ! I KNOW it's the UA.

PEACE
 
It is possible that your body's thermoregulatory defenses haven't been overwhelmed by the UA. For example, if you went outside during 100 degree weather, your body has available to it resources to keep your temp at 98.6 such as sweating and vasodialation. With the UA your body may generate more heat, but also dispel more heat keeping your internal temperature normal.

Good point brutha!

I'm on day 7 for all you who care. I've begun to notice a loss in weight. I DO believe it is taking effect. I felt "lean as sh@#" when I woke up this morning. I actually did the usual Friday night pizza spluge yet I woke up feeling "leaner" than yesterday. Please know this however....whenever I do splurge like this, I take up to 1,000 of ala to maintain my lower carb plan. I feel that the UA has "kicked in". I am excited to begin week # 2 tomorrow. Maybe I'lll get CRAZY and up my dosage to 1,500 mg/day??!!

Maybe...maybe....maybe...HMMMMM.........I just don't know :rolleyes:
 
Dude, you say that you want to mimmik the effect of Lipo. Well, sodium usinate was only one ingredient. If i remember correctly, it also contained ec (and possibly a). throw in some eca or nyc and you might get the results you are looking for.
:) -bean
 
Thanks bean....but I'm "worn out" on ECA/caffeine/NYC !!!! This is why I elected to go with UA alone! Plus I wanted to verify the effectiveness of UA all by itself.

For the record, 1 serving of Lipokinetics contains:

-Caffeine 100mg
-Nor Ephedrine HCL 25 mg
-Yohimbine HCL 3 mg
-Diodothyronine 100 mcg
-Sodium Usniate 100 mg

I realized that the other ingredients would benefit me....however again....I'm on a mission to find out what UA alone can do!

Also, if this product does mimic DNP (granted to a much lessor degree) than we'll have found a GREAT legal supplement!

Later brutha's :wavey:
 
Day 9 began this morning and I decided to up my dosage to 1,500/mg (split dosages). I swear I lost 50 pounds of water during my work-out! Holy HEAT! Nevertheless...I weighed in at 6 pounds lighter prior to my work-out. :D

I feel LEANER! I believe that it IS working. I don't want to jump the gun here......BUT I will say that at this point in my UA cycle; I believe UA mimics Lipokinetics. Exactly----hmmmm; I won't answer that just yet! Maybe ??

The heat was pretty fricken rough today at the gym on 1,500 mg. It was mild/moderately rough at the previous dosage of 1,000/mg day. But now at 1,500 mg----I'm a fricken furnace. I just hope it's "fat" and not just water. I look and feel leaner.

Later......
 
Anyone on this board give a sh#@ about this thread other than me??? As much attention as Lipokinetics received for it's effectiveness coupled with the fact that UA was the probable isolated ingredient that was so great....and no-one cares if this product works or not? Wow----I am shocked!

Let's see....most of you (as am I) are on this board to get educated on:
1) gaining + preserving muscle
2) getting lean....losing fat!

UA is (should be) one of the hottest topics on this board! Oh well...I guess I will be the ONLY brutha to get R-I-P-P-E-D !
Psss...I am NOT pedaling the product because I DO NOT SELL IT!

:mad: :confused: :bawling:

But I do sell it :D realsupplements.net
 
DAY # 10 (mid day).....Man my work-out was a bitch! T-I-R-E-D as hell!

I weighed in about same. I feel lean! No real changes to report other than the "lethargy" I seem to feel while on this product!

Other than this and the constant raised body-heat; I still advocate this product's efficacy and effectiveness.
SO FAR anyway !!! :fro:
 
At first, I did not want to dip into my own supply, but I've realized that I have more than enough, so I started today at 400mg per day, and probobly wont go much higher because I really do not think that its necessary. I will be following a keto diet while also taking the old MD6 from Biotest. Lots of morning cardio and hopefully moderate weight lifting. I'll keep everybody posted. Starting weight is 195.5.
 
realsupplements.net

is that 90 servings at 100 mg each for 39.99? That's really expensive at the doses we're talking about here. Maybe I'm just reading it wrong?

:p

No, its right, but its still chaeper than usnicacid.com. If you buy 2 bottles from me, you get a total of 18 grams for $80. At UA.com, you get 15 grams for $80. Prices are a little expensive because the profit margin is low on UA. It may be one reason why the big companies never really picked up on it. With all of their people to pay and labs to run and whatnot, they would never turn a profit.
 
Usnic Acid Price Comparisons:

Not any more matpal. Here's some price comparisons:

www.qfac.com (lipogenesis) = $38.95 for 90 caps 10 mg (900 mg Total)

www.pricespower.com (eat & lose) = $29.95 for 90 caps 30 mg (2.7 g Total)

www.realsupplements.net = $39.99 for 90 caps 100 mg (9 g Total)

www.usnicacid.com = $49.95 for 90 caps 250 mg (22.5 g Total)
And get even better prices for 2 or 3 bottles :)
 
Any negative sides? I really want to try this stuff but damn it seems risky. When are you going to take a BF% measurement?

Day 12: I've only lost an additional 1 pound??? It seems as if the UA's effects are diminishing. I've already "upped" my dosage to 1,500/mg. I'm NOT going any higher! My body temp is still moderately high (99.7') which isn't that high. I just "feel" the heat moreso than the thermometer would illustrate.

I'll be out of town for 4 days.....I'll report when I get back!
 
Im using only 400mg per day, and Im really feeling it. It makes me wonder if these people who are using over a gram a day are really trying with their diet and exercise. i;ll post weight changes later today for the first week.
 
That's it pretty much it folks! I'm locked at 7 pounds of water/fat-loss. I'd say I lost .5% of pure body fat, the rest being water. I definitely do feel leaner then when I began..more than the minimal loss of BF would reflect.

Today was day 14 and I'm finished with this stuff! I'm NOT going to do the 3 weeks as I originally planned!

Beginning Results:
Stats: 5'11, 195 and 9.5 % body fat
Start date: 5/19/02
Beginning dosage: 500 mg/day
Goal: to lose 2 % body fat in 3 weeks based on UA alone!
Changes in diet: None (except mild 300 calorie drop overall)
Changes in work-out: none

Ending Results:
Stats: 5'11, 187 and 9% body fat
END Date: 6/2/02
Ending dosage: 1,500 mg/day
Changes in diet: None (except mild 300 calorie drop overall)
Changes in work-out: none

I would score the UA approximately a 65% out of 100%. I feel as if the product could have been more researched somehow, I would have been more inclined to "up" the dosages for more effects. Maybe??!! I was to scared of the potential side effects!
I did NOT see many additonial benefits from upping my dosage anyway! (Read on)

I also feel that next time (and YES, there will be a next time) I will include ECA/NYC with decreased amount of UA to more closely "mimic" the effects of Lipokinetics which contained only 100 mg of UA.

I feel that (from based upon my experience alone) that UA's effects were immediate yet not very long lasting. By this....I mean the first week's results were far more superior to the second week's. I even "upped" the dosage of UA the second week.

I feel that (from based upon my experience alone) that the higher amounts of UA do not equate to higher amounts of body-fat being lost.

I feel that (from based upon my experience alone) that it was the "marriage" of ingredients that were in the product Lipokinetics that synergistically yielded such fat burning effects such as the ones many of you experienced (as well as myself) and NOT merely the UA.

For any other ?'s on my UA experience...please post them here so everyone else can learn.

Thanks brutha's for all the support.

This is a repost, as I added an unnecessary additional thread before

I am using usnic acid to burn the bulk of my excess fat before moving into a slower cut. I figure catabolism isn't as much of an issue until bf gets very low, and I believe clen (which I will use later) is more anti-catabolic than usnic.

Well, day 1 I started using it at 500mg/day split into 4 doses (200mg, 100mg*3). That worked a little bit.

Then day 2 I switched to 600mg/day (yesterday). That worked better, but not as well as I wanted.

Today (day 3) I took 500mg so far, and I added EC(20/200 3X/day). I feel like a coil in a toaster oven, and it is not uncomfortable. It kind of feels good and therapeutic, like the heat is being created externally! I will take 200mg more this evening after lifting.

Lesson? Take usnic acid with ECA! ECA mobilies fat and helps muscle cells burn fat instead of carbs. Usnic acid decreases the efficiency of fat metabolism, causing the body to burn more! ECA allows this and is synnergistic, as far as I can tell so far.

I will continue to update this as weeks go on. I am doing a carbohydrate cycling diet with 3.5 days 50g carbs and >50% caloric deficit while lifting light for glycogen depletion, followed by 3.5 days of almost maintenance high carbs low fat and lifing heavy. Check this AMAZING diet out at: http://boards.elitefitness.com/foru...threadid=147840

This usnic shit is good, and don't disrespect it, since it WILL heat you up! I'm getting hotter by the second, and it is freakin' freezing in this air conditioned office building!

By the way I am currently 10% bf. I plan to use usnic to cut about 1-2% then switch to using bromocriptine to bring my metabolism up again. Then I will switch into a non-cyclical diet that is *very* high protein, low fat and moderate carbs with clenbuterol and tiratricol(a.k.a. Triac, Triacana, ThyroActivator) for 2 weeks, followed by ECA then switch back to bromocriptine to maintain.

BTW bromocriptine helps to *maintain* low bodyfat and it acts similarly to leptin... it is almost like leptin replacement therapy (I don't do it to reduce prolactin).
 
I definately agree with plornive
i took usnic acid alone, with an nyc and with eca
alone wasnt bad, nyc was better cause of the caffeine in it but the eca produced the best results and i wasnt as tired on it
my next stint with usnic acid will be with an EC stack
 
Thanks Plo & Q.S.

I really apprecitate your feedback because I definitely am interested in the "benefits" one can obtain from using UA, I just failed to realize that the addtition of ECA/NYC would make such a great difference.

I'll give it whirl next time this way.
 
Here is Friday's update. (About 12 days).
Cardio is actually getting easier compared to the first week. I thought, judging by the first week, that I would'nt be able to do any cardio by now. Im still sweating like a pig though, and I feel down right sick once about 7:00pm hits. Starting weight was 195.5. Todays (Friday) was 184. Keep in mind, this is with water/carb depletion, although I do look pretty bloated. Next week, Im going to add some Taraxatone I have laying around to see if that helps. I still use a relatively small dose: I bumped it up to 600mg daily for these last 2 days. I figure in another 2 weeks, I will have easily met my goal of 15 pounds of FAT loss, water excluded.
 
Congratualtions bro. Sound as if the stuff has worked better for you than me :(

Keep it up bro!!!

Hey...are you using ANYTHING else w/UA (T2 or ECA/NYC)...let us know!
 
Using the old MD6 from Biotest while on a keto diet. Got decent reults from this plan before, but its been much faster with he addition of Usnic Acid.
 
Thanks for the info bro. Maybe I'll give the MD6 a try?! I plan to do another UA cycle soon.

Let's keep this thread going! Hopefully more people can post results/recommendations!

Peace :fro:
