PERFORMIX - SST Original - Pre Workout - 250 mg Caffeine - Energy Supplements - No Crash - Fitness Goals - Nootropic - Timed-Release for All Day Focus, Mood & Energy Boost - Men & Women - 60 Capsules

I tried the updated version of this and it was a little much for me, and so I figured I would go with the original since the original is usually better. This one also is a little bit too much for me, so I put one of these in a tablespoon of hot water at night and let it dissolve and I drink half of itone day and the other half the next-and the energy is awesome. I wrote a review for the other one also, but definitely wanted to also leave one here! I workout also daily, for hours at a time- I've lost 100 lbs naturally- no surgery or "skinny" pills- and only tried adipex after 3 years and hitting a huge plateau. Take it from me- this energy supplement is great! Even the adipex didnt give me what this supplement does!WARNING: DO NOT TAKE 2! YOU MAY END UP IN HOSPITAL. IT DOES MAKE YOU JITTERY IF YOU TAKE THE WHOLE THING, SO STAU WITH ONE OR EVEN HALF IT LIKE I DO..ALSO, EAT SOMETHING LIGHT AND DRINK LOTS OF WATER!

EDIT: 3 month update at the bottom.Make sure to assess tolerance before going to the full (2 capsule) dosage. It might also be wise to try it with a light meal the first time. I listed my thoughts on each ingredient below - but my takeaway for you is this is a GREAT energy/mood booster that you should take up to 5 days a week. Highly suggest taking a break on weekends. Be sure to assess tolerance and dont take any additional caffeine while trying this.Here are the key ingredients:1. Niacin/B12 - these are "energy supporters" which, if you don't have available in your body you wont be able to process energy as efficiently.2. Caffeine - you will be hard to find caffeine in a thermogenic. Be careful and assess your own tolerance. A necessary ingredient. Each pill is around 1.5 cups of coffee - so be sure to not drink any additional coffee/tea during the day.3. Sensoril - this is a proprietary Ashwagandha blend. Somnifera is just the Ashwagandha plant from my understanding. This is an adaptogen that's extremely popular that helps reduce stress and cortisol levels. I'm personally not a big fan of ashwagandha, because if you experience any side effects it's most likely this ingredient.4. Theacrine - This is very similar to caffeine, but is actually a different plant itself. Usually this is formulated as a "less jittery caffeine". I'm indifferent on this ingredient being here.5. Mucuna pruriens: L-DOPA provider. This can help increase mood/motivation. Good addition.6. Cayenne pepper: Capsaicin is one of the most proven metabolism increasers ever. Great addition.7. Yohimbine: My least favorite ingredient. It comes from the Yohimbe bark and has some great anecdotal fat loss results. It definitely works, but in my eyes this has been known to increase heart rate and has me worried that aging or obese populations shouldnt be taking this. Personally, not a fan.8. Huperzine: Cognitive booster. Not sure on its daily effectiveness, but this has been pretty much proven, over time, to reduce cognitive lapse and symptoms of Alzheimer's. Good addition.9. Bioperine: you see this in any good supplement. It's just black pepper extract - which allows for other ingredients to be absorbed better (higher bioavailability).10. MCTs and CLAs - the carrier oils here are a really ingenious choice. Not only does it allow for a slower release of stimulant ingredients, both of these oils are well studied to support weight loss and fat burning.11. Ginger: generic anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. Not sure the intent with regards to weight loss/cognitive boost but the ingredient itself is good.3 month update: Still very happy with this product. I have purchased it 3 times total, and plan on taking it on weekends for the foreseeable future. I find it as a great source of energy for a start of my day. If you are looking for a very intense "preworkout" style energy you might want to take both capsules an hour before your workout instead of just one - but that's not my preference. I find one to two capsules separated by an hour in the morning gives a very smooth source of energy for me and lets me do my job at work better. I'm not going to be dramatic, but this supp has been extremely helpful for me being able to get the energy and motivation to do all my tasks at work. Thanks

Works definitely for energy. I think it helps me to maintain my weight not necessarily help with losing it. It may have helped in the beginning but I think I may need to take a break from it, if I want to drop any more.

It does what it says! Perfect pre work out and time released so it is not overpowering!

These pills are amazing i definitely don't recommend taking more than one unless you built up a major tolerance it's a heck of a pre workout boost also, i have noticed a drastic boost in my cognitive thinking it gives me a nice pump i'm actually excited to go to the gym i do not recommend taking it on rest.Days alas you want to be bouncing off the walls aha bet well done I'm very pleased

I was hoping this was as good as the SSTS Glow, but it isn’t! I don’t know why the Glow was discontinued but it was amazing!This formula makes me jittery and my heart races like it just won the Preakness!PLEASE bring back the GLOW!

This stuff is crack! Mind your business-def but again, and again..,and again

So, I'll go into detail on my personal experience with these and if your looking for a quick summary here it is...I'm an average guy, one who had horrible eating habits and no signs of knowing what a gym was. Anyways, I got depressed and figured out it was due to my huge weight gain since becoming a new father. I purchased these pills based on a recommendation from a rep at my local GNC store. After taking these along with completely changing my diet (no fried foods, no pastas, low dairy intake, more veggies and fruits, etc...), I lost about 9-10 pounds within a 2 1/2 week period. Yes, that's great but others bragged about losing a crazy amount of weight... I don't see how... I not only started taking the pills but I also switched the hell out of my diet and to top it off, I started regularly going to the gym for long cardio sessions, abdominal and upper body workouts. I'm proud of my work but definitely not convinced that the pills helped much. They definitely helped boost my metabolism for a few days but I think they lost the whole effect. I don't think I will be buying another supply. On to the next...
