I've tried just about every "energy" supplement (stimulant) on the market (and many "off" the market) and it's rare that I come across one worth mentioning. It's actually kind of sad how excited I get when I have 
something new to try; so when I got my bottle of LG Sciences "E-911," I was a giddy pill-popping overgrown kid. To continue John Romano's theme from last week (SUPPLEMENT CORNER: 9-30-09), we know LG Sciences makes products that work because they're always getting yanked off the market. What better than a stimulant from a company that loves to push the envelope?
Stimulants fall into three categories for me: (1) Get cranked up before a workout (2) All day energy...no rush and no crash. (3) Waste of money because they make me sick, sleepy, or both.
"E-911" falls into the second category and it's appropriately labeled, "Daily Energy Support." I got a chance to really put these to use during the Olympia weekend when sleep was scarce and the Rx Muscle crew had to be everywhere. After a morning workout (fueled by a healthy dose of other stimulants), it was a rush to shower and get to the show; however, I knew it wasn't be long until I crashed. I took my first "E-911" around 10am and I was feeling much better in no time.
One unique feature of "E-911" is that it's rapidly absorbed-- the pills are designed to dissolve under your tongue. They have a mild minty taste that barely masks the medicinal base of the tablet. I wouldn't call it tasty, but I had no problems sucking on it for a few minutes. I'd rather deal with the taste then get something coated in sugar.
Getting back to my first day on "E-911," I felt fine all the way through the Friday morning pre-judging and didn't take another E-911 until late afternoon. I took my final pill at the Friday Finals and I was set through the rest of the night. It kept me alert and awake all day without feeling any jitters and I never got sick to my stomach, which is par for the course with me when I try new stimulants. I also enjoyed the fact that if I started to crash, one pill took a mere 10minutes to get me going again. I followed this same procedure on Saturday and the results were just as great. "E-911" was critical to surviving that weekend and, now, I keep a bottle in my bag every day.
Just a brief word on E-911's ingredients. It has two of my favorite stimulants-- caffeine and geranium oil extract. We all know about the first one, so let's focus on the geranium. This supplement has been around for a few years and was first brought to the market by Patrick Arnold. It really helps you focus. There's no huge rush of energy; just a sense of being alert, awake, and zoned-in on what you need to do. Add a little caffeine to the mix and you have the perfect stimulant-- the caffeine gives you a kick start and the germanium oil extract keeps you running smooth.
I can see a lot of uses for "E-911." The first and most obvious is getting though a long day of work. Take one in the morning and keep another on hand...it'll make your morning a lot brighter if you didn't get your 8-10 the night before. Another use is for the dieting bodybuilder, figure, or fitness athlete that has to do some early morning cardio. I never liked getting a harsh caffeine smack in the face at 5am, so this is a much smoother alternative that will get you through cardio and well into your busy day. Anyone who's crashed at 10am because they were doing cardio 4-5 hours earlier knows how easy it can be to catch yourself drooling on your desk well before lunchtime. And of course, for all the clubbers out there, this stuff is pure energy in a pill that's legal and safe, which is probably an improvement from what you took last weekend.
