Funny thing is about your other thread. If you look at the price of finasteride.

Proscar (5 mg finasteride)
Propecia (1 mg finasteride)

You will notice quite the price difference in $/mg. So it just goes to show you price isnt always tied to quality, here you have the exact same thing in which a lower dosage is more expensive just because they can market it to people with some vanity issues.

But what would you expect, from drug companies. Charging more for the same thing is there MO.

When you say price isn't always tied to quality, if you mean greater price doesn't always equal greater quality, I whole-heartedly agree. Which is why I mentioned Fizogen and Cellucore in response to Rjkd12. Expensive supplements, do they work? Yes. Are they worth their cost? Absolutely not.

But few things that are unexplainably cheap (meaning even Company reps can't tell you why), are going to equal more reputable, slightly more costly reliable brands.

No, here's what we do:

I spread the word in DC and all through Montgomery Co. MD with my Jim Jones like charisma, and you spread it through South Florida with your 1-2 and knealing muay thai elbow to the liver.

You in?

But of course. And even my store-owner is down. Did you ever read that story I posted about him standing the Stacker 2 rep in front of our cooler and telling him "You see this Fridge? Your shit's really just another can in this fridge to me."

I recall that post. What area can he cover and what is his superpower?

**Mr. Sinister** · 02-10-2006, 04:22 PM

Well, he's the Chairman of the Board of Franchisees for GNC. In-fact he recently had a bone to pick with Corporate over a coupon they sent out that allowed for a triple-dip discount that they gave us no rebate for. So the coupon came out of Franchise owner pockets without their knowledge and he got calls of complaints from all over the Country. He then flies to Pittsburgh, throws organized fits, and beats Corporate into submission.

The man is one of my heroes, really.

Plus he owns a winery in California. So South Florida, GNC Corporate in Pittsburgh, and Northern Cali? I have no idea where his winery actually is.

Awesome, get him to train so we can form a super league. Oh, wait, you wanna go box for a living...pffft, you'd probably rather be a pro boxer than be a super hero, you need to get your priorities straight son.

**Mr. Sinister** · 02-10-2006, 04:30 PM

You know you got me hooked on that Pfft. I post that shit all the time now. I even use it in IM. lol

And hey, I can be a Boxing Superhero. Because we NEED money. So I can whoop some can's ass for a million bucks (like Mayweather did to Gatti), and fund the organization.

And Lenny won't train. He's almost 60. He'll bring guns and attourneys.

**Chad Hamilton** · 02-10-2006, 04:38 PM

Well guns are cool too. He's qualified now.

Is it by Ulitmate Nutrition? I saw one by them called "Bulgarian Tribulus" that has over 45% steroidal sponins.

Let me know if this is the one.

Thanks!

This is the first time that I have posted in the Diet forum and luckily I used the search function and came across this thread. If possible I was wondering if anyone could advise me on taking Tribulus. I know that it's a natural and legal substance and one of my friends who has taken it has had some very impressive results. He increased his bench press 1RM from 120kg to 180kg in the space of five months (and all his other lifts went up significantly also) and he also put on two stones of muscle. I am thinking of trying it out although there are a few things I am worried about. Firstly I heard that if you don't ween yourself off it then there is the possibility that you won't be able to get an erection for a while since there is such a big drop in testosterone levels. This seems to be the case so I was wondering if anybody who has taken it before knows the best way to take the supplement and how to ween off it to avoid such an occurrence. Secondly I am worried that since it boosts your testosterone you can get spots or acne as a result. It didn't happen to the guy I know who was taking it although I'm sure that supplements have varying effects on different people. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

not only have they stood the test of time as powerful medicines for virtually every ailment known to man in many cultures, almost all man made drugs are chemical copies of plants(herbs) or contain plant/herbal elements

its better to buy them in their raw, dried plant form & make into a drink, NOT in pill form.

herbs are useless if you eat like crap. If you have a good diet, they can greatly enhance your health & energy.

yea common sense stuff. I just ordered various raw herbal teas. I like to sip on them in the midst of working out. been drinking too much coffee lately & feel like shit cause of it
