Question on New Supplement by USPlabs.

[joverfield]

A friend of mine at work approached me, and he wants me to start taking a new supplement with him to see how it works for both of us. He found it on GNC's website. It is called Pink Magic by USPlabs. All the reviews I have read so far are positive, but one never knows if these are reps posing as average Joes to push the product. It is fairly pricey, and I have never heard of the ingredients that are listed in it. The ingredients are: Massularia Acuminate (Stem), Nelumbo Nucifera (Seeds And Leaves), Rhamnus Nakaharai (Stem).

Here is the link to the description on GNC's website: www.gnc.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4217993

I always err on the side of caution when it comes to knew supps for fear of a positive drug test. At the same time, I am looking for something to help as I recover from my shoulder surgery as it is going painfully and frustratingly slow.

Any informative input will be greatly appreciated.

I have used Pink Magic, but before I get into that based on your shoulder injury I would recommend Super Cissus, also by USPLabs (although you may be able to find that herb cheaper elsewhere). There is some controversy regarding the herb Massularia and the amounts. If you research is you will come across a study of the herb in rats. There is a blog author out there (who owns his own supplement company) who tried real hard to use this study to discredit Pink Magic. The facts are wishy-washy, so I will stick to what I know. I do know that many people who have taken this complain about acne breakouts, and I got some on my shoulder. This is due to an increase in testosterone. My experience with Pink Magic has been positive except for the price tag. It took a week before it really started to give me the pumps I wanted. Its good to be careful when reading reviews, but the best way to find out is give it a try.

Thanks. I have taken Super Cissus Rx before with success. Right now I am taking Primaforce's Cissus, and it seems to be helping. I think I will stay away from Pink Magic for now. After it has been out for a while, where there is more out there to read on it, I may give it a shot. Depends on whether anyone can also find out if it could cause a positive test or not.

Since there is an increase in testosterone wouldnt you fail the drug test in a Raw drug tested event?
