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

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

Better than I expected

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!

This is my second thermogenic ever tried. My first was hydroxicut and it made me violently sick so I was sceptical to try another, but I was very happy with this one. I was 162lbs at the beginning of taking these on day one, and now 30 days later I am 151lbs. I am 5'1" and female, I go to the gym five days a week for weight training and 15-20 min of cardio each day, and my diet is the low carbs high fat diet known as the Keto diet with one cheat a week. I started with half a dose (one pill) for about two weeks to get used to it before I started taking the recommended dose (two pills) . I took them at about 10am every morning, in order to let my body process the single cup of coffee I have at about 5am. I felt energized and focused all day but I did sometimes get very dizzy so I had to chug down lots of water or eat something. That is really the only downside I got from this product. All in all I would recommend this product to anyone trying to lose weight.

I purchased this product as it was recommended by a friend. I have taken a few thermogenics in the past that leave me feeling jittery or sick. This did neither, I take 2 of the pills first thing in the morning with some cold water and then start my day. The biggest thing that I have noticed is the amount of energy I have throughout the day after taking this. Before this I was drinking coffee like it was going out of style, while on this I have a cup every few days and really don't miss it, when I do I have some and still do not feel jittery. Also I have taken some products in the past that make me sweat uncontrollably, not a pleasant feeling, but not with this I maybe sweat a little more while working out, but I do not start uncontrollably sweating while just sitting down. I originally was going to just use this for 1 month, or 1 bottles worth, however I have been feeling so good on this that I am going to take another cycle before rotating off it, but plan to rotate back on shortly after. I am a big supporter of cycling these so the body does not get used to or dependent on these products. I am extremely happy with this product and will continue to use this, I have lost a good amount of weight and this has helped me improve my overall healthiness as I have the drive to go to the gym, whether that is just a psychogenic effect or part of the product I am not sure but it has helped me anyway.

This isnt really a review of my overall results, but more of first day experience. I read some that said the side effects were really bad so I was a little worried about trying them for the first day on a work day. That being said, I started with one pill. It definitely did give me a solid stream of energy. I took it at 7:45 this morning and I am still energized at 4:10. I have not been jittery at all. It seems like I have been more focused at work. So far so good. For the record, I am usually slightly sensitive to caffeine which is why I was worried but no issues to speak of on day one. I will update with results and any changes. UPDATE:So I have now been taking SST for about a week. I have not started my workout plan yet but I did start a no/low carb diet the same time I started taking SST. I started at 245 lbs. In the first week As of yesterday lost 7 lbs. I definitely cant say that it is all from SST. 0 carb diets have always been extremely effective for me, but it has helped a lot. I definitely have more energy and I am less hungry throughout the day. I am still only taking one pill per day but I am going to kick it up to two tomorrow. I will say that the second day was not great. I almost stopped taking it. I just felt weird. by the third day though I felt like my body adjusted and all is well now. Looking forward to seeing if the results are amplified by taking the full dose vs just half.

This product is awful! The first day I took one pill and it gave me a huge energy rush for about half an hour and then dropped for the rest of the day. I saw no change in my appetite. The second day I tried taking two pills as recommended and I got very jittery. I did not like the feeling but I thought I would try it one more day. On the third day I took two again and broke out in a terrible rash and felt like I might have a panic attack for about 45 mins. The rash went away a few hours later. I do not recommend these pills. I have been on many different diet pills. All of the ones that worked for me have been pulled from the market. I asked the company if I would be able to return the bottle since I had only used about four pills but they said since it's open I could not, so I wasted my money. Do not waste yours. I was mostly looking for a diet pill that would suppress my appetite and this didn't do that at all. For the most part I usually have good energy. I work out 6x a week and try to eat healthy. I also stopped taking them after three days and experienced extreme fatigue and headache for 2 days which I am only assuming is withdrawal. I would not recommend this product.

I bought this on Amazon because it was $40 at the time opposed to GNC being $65. My very first day I noticed laser focus and a steady stream of energy throughout the whole day, I felt awesome, however, after that first day I didn't feel anything significant. I upped my cardio, changed my diet a bit and even started wearing a weighted vest while working out. I know one bottle won't give dramatic results but I would hope it does at least something and I feel like I actually gained weight/my midsection is slightly larger. I'm not super sensitive to caffeine and still needed my coffee later in the day for a boost, I even started taking this at noon so I could have my coffee around 8am and there was never any boost in energy, in fact I had some days where I was ready to fall asleep after taking it instead of feeling amped up. Of course this will affect everyone differently but I'm just disappointed at the lack of steady performance by the product and then the price hike, making it pointless in trying a second bottle.
