Q: When is DHB going to be ready to order? I don't see where I can order this from?

A: DHB Anabolic Amplifier will be available in just about 1 week from today. You should see it in your local store or from your favorite website just days after that. Please let us know if you can't find it and we will try to point you in the right direction or contact your favorite retail store about it.

Q: I've been taking Testovar 555 and have noticed significant shrinkage in the non-erect genital area. Is this common? Will it stop when I cycle off of Testovar? What should I do?

A: What you could be experiencing is testicular atrophy, which can happen with prolonged use of prohormones or anabolic steroids. IF you are experiencing this, be sure that you cycle off the product, taking fewer and fewer ml of it over a two-week period. Immediately begin taking Anti Aromatase from IDS or any other estrogen blocker to help boost your testosterone production. What you are experiencing may be a placebo since it is very rare that a pro hormone could cause this, but if the situation is legitimate, you should be back to normal in a few weeks. Don't worry.

Q: I recently purchased some bottles of your NP2 Hyperdialation Caplets. In the "Warning" section on the label, it states to use caution with this product if you have a history of cold sores, which I do. What are the risks I can run into if I use NP2? Thank You, Joe Fink Eastlake, OH

A: Research has shown that doses exceeding 5,000 mg of Arginine can cause outbreaks of cold sores. Be sure to take fewer than 5 caplets at one time and you should be fine. If you take several doses per day they should be spread out over 3-4 hours.

Q: Hey There! Love the products! Listen to a customer, the web site is for fitness, sports and body building. The girl and the gallery have nothing to do with what the products are about. The gallery looks like a teas to a porno site, in my opinion the chick should be replaced with women and men in fitness rolls. I sound like a negative person, I'm not at all. Tell me, does the Daytona racing car go faster or get bigger because it has the products web site address on the body? I don't think so. Why not have a pro fitness guy or gal use the products and promote the products from actual users, cars don't use supplements. Keep making great products and I will keep buying them, so far so good. Let the upper managers of the IDS company read this email and respond. A IDS product user.

A: Thank you for your opinion on the IDS marketing style. IDS invites you to check any fitness magazine, website, or trade show to see how products and companies in this industry are marketed. Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on your sexual preference, scantily clad female models are used in marketing most all companies. As for a tease to a porn site, this is your opinion. Daytona racing sponsorship is another marketing tool IDS has used along with several other companies to promote their company names. Successful companies such as GNC, Stacker 2, EAS, and Bodybuilding.com are some examples. This type of marketing is the same for many top companies in the US including General Mills (Cheerios), Pfizer (Viagra). I would expect that if you felt this strongly about our marketing that you would have also contacted General Mills and Pfizer to as a questions like "Does the car have lower cholesterol from having Cheerios on the body?" or "Does the car get longer since it had Viagra painted on it". I would be interested to see how those questions go over as a joke in their board room.

Please do not waste any more time commenting on IDS marketing as you are wasting your and especially our time.

If you felt this strongly you would have no problem signing your name instead of IDS user, (Randy Siems).

Q: I have recently purchased your creatine product. While the literature suggests th eproduct dissolves completely in water, when I mix one scoop with 12-16 oz of water, a residue is left at the bottom of the glass. Is this normal? Is that creatine sitting there, or a side effect of the mixing process? Thanks Kevin

A: The Creatine Titrate and the new Creatine Crystal both use the same molecular structure to deliver Creatine into your system. This chemical reaction takes a bit of time, 30-90 seconds, to complete. The colder the water the slower that reaction will be. The residue is most likely white flakes, this could also be the sweetening agent as the Titrated Creatine molecule is not a flake but a tiny granule. Please don't worry about any negative effects of this residue, as it is harmless.

Q: I JUST PURCHASED THE TESTOVAR 555 FROM A RETAILER, I JUST WANT TO KNOW IF THERE'S A CERTAIN TIME TO TAKE THIS, WHEATHER BEFORE OR AFTER A WORKOUT... OR IF IT EVEN MATTERS.

A: Testovar 555 is a liposome delivery androgenic pro hormone product, which is best taken two times per day. The first should be early in the day, with breakfast and the second pre workout if you train in the evening. Testovar 555 is best when cycled with an anabolic product such as IDS 1-AD for a lean hard look. This type of cycle virtually guarantees 10-15 pounds of lean muscle in as few as 8 weeks!

Q: I have just started reading 21 day transformation N02 and It states that if PHyser3 has the only true delivery system to give you the benefits of perputual pump and ect.

A: NP2 is designed to break down quickly getting into the bloodstream in half the time as hard pressed coated tablets. Creating a "delivery system" for a tablet is a limited idea. All that can really be done is coating or compression, these processes are not really delivery systems, but allow the tablet to be broken down slower or faster, hopefully to dissolve higher or lower in the digestive tract. The problem with some of the coated hard-pressed tablets is that many do not dissolve when they are supposed to, and many do not dissolve at all, they are found in the stool. Obviously they are of no use to the consumer.

IDS guarantees our NP2. We have designed it to dissolve faster and get into the bloodstream sooner than any other similar product. We also feel that "Delivery System" for a tablet is a misnomer in any case and have decided to just list our binding agents instead of using them as a marketing tool.

We would be glad to replace your product if you are not satisfied, but this is something that rarely happens with our brand due to our quality products and support staff. Please take these things into account when making your decision on your product purchase.

Q: My name is Tyler Presley and i just want to say ur products are unreal. I have taken 2 bottles of pro-androgen. Bottle of Androgen 1. Creatine Titrate. Glutamine. and Bout to try the Testovar 555. Go several people wanting it too. Im in to powerlifting and have became the strongest in my class because of your supplements. I just wanted to send an email of thanks. If you guys ever need anybody to sponsor dont forget me. Thanks. Tyler P.

A: What else can we say?

Q: I used Norandrosome and 1AD last summer and I loved the results. I'm thinking about using the products again but I'm thinking about throwing NP2 in the mix. Can this work? What sort of a schedule can/should I use? Thanks. -John D'Alessandro

A: NP2 is the perfect product to enhance prohormone cycles. Logic tells you that when you take something like a prohormone or steroid that is transported by the bloodstream that increasing the efficiency of bloodflow would enhance the effect. Also, NP2 will help to shorten recovery time and Oxygen transport dramatically. Cycling NP2 is not really necessary though some bodybuilders will take two weeks off every couple of months.

Q: I have recently purchased creatine titrate, and it does not say anything about loading do you have to load and if so do i load it the same way as monohydrate. Also it says take it in the (morning or after a workout) can you tell me why that statment is valuable?

A: Creatine Titrate can be loaded just like normal creatine monohydrate. To do this just take 4 servings per day for 5 days. The result of this will be to saturate your creatine stores quickly. Research has shown that the same level of saturation can be reached after maintenance doses are taken for 28 days. Please remember, only 2-2.5 grams of creatine monohydrate dissolves in water or grapejuice, therefore only that 2-2.5 grams is usable by the body. The Creatine Titrate dissolves all 5 grams in water before drinking thus yielding virtually double the usable creatine for your body with no bloating or cramping.

Taking Creatine in the morning is important because your body is starving for amino acids and creatine since it has fasted during the night. Post workout you have exhausted your creatine and amino acid stores, so it is important to replenish them immediately.

Q: I´m receiving Testovar 555 soon, and I´m planning to aquire the 1-AD as well as I was advised to. I´m a hard gainer and I want to know the best way to take 1-AD and Testovar 555 together. Serving amount, how many times a day, intervals and etc. I´ll have one bottle of Testovar 555 240ml and one 1-AD bottle. Whats the best way to use them? Thanks

A: The advise you were given is excellent as the Testovar 555 and the 1-AD stack very well together. Taking one androgenic product and one anabolic product produce excellent results. In general taking the 1-AD three times per day, 2 capsules each time is the preferred dosage. Testovar 555 is generally taken a bit differently as it is very androgenic. Testovar 555 depending on bodyweight should be taken in larger dosages in the beginning of the cycle and smaller doses at the end. Begin for example with two servings of 6 ml per day. The second and third week reduce your dose to 5 ml twice per day. Week 4 and 5 use only 8 mls per day. By week 6 you should only have to use 6 ml per day. This is a very general cycle, for more detailed information just email or call us with you mailing address and you will be sent a free cycle book detailing hundreds of different cycling ideas absolutely free!

Q: What kind of legal pills can I take to help my soreness of muscles do to working out?

A: What is happening to you is the actual microtearing of the muscle fibers and fibrils. The way to best combat this is to be sure you are taking in a glutamine supplement and enough protein to help rebuild these tears. These tears will result in your muscles growing larger and fuller. This is how you grow.

Products such as Total Recovery and Multi Pro Whey Isolate can be used for this purpose. You have to recover in order to grow, so don't skimp on your nutrients!

Q: Does anyone know where to find photos of Paula Bush on the internet?

A: Q: Where can I find more articles and photos of spokesmodel Paula Bush. Thank you.

A: This is just a sample of the many emails and calls we get for more material of Paula Bush. Please, keep sending them, we forward all of them to her email and hopefully we can get her back here to Florida for another photoshoot! What a wonderful sweet sexy woman she is!

Q: I have been taking durabole for a few weeks and want to know when to cycle off , on, and how long. Also how far apart I should I take the capsules.

A: Durabol like Pro Androgen is an etherated pro hormone which needs to be cycle as a steroid would be cycled. In general, either of these products should be taken for 4-6 weeks, every day regardless of if you work out or not. Once the 4-6 week cycle is up, GET OFF OF THE PRODUCTS and rest your receptor sites for 4-6 weeks. Many athletes also take Anti-Aromatase and or tribulus supplements to better maintain their muscular gains during thier off time. These products help to normalize or even boost your own testosterone levels.

Q: Which one will make my breast grow I am a male in my 40's

A: OK,

I am hoping that this guy has a typing problem...If you want your breasts to grow, we can't help you. If this means you don't want your breasts to grow, I am assuiming gyno or bitch tits, take an Anabolic prohormone such as 1-AD or Durabol. Androgenic products have the ability to raise estrogen levels through testosterone conversion if you do not take a product like Anti-Aromatase. These higher levels of estrogen can result in gyno or bitch tits. It is unusual in a natural legal supplement, but not unheard of.

Q: I have noticed that in yhe "Hardness" or "Cutting" cycle that the use of Creatine Titrate is not included. Does this mean that Creatine should not be used during these cycle? Thanks in advance I look forward to ordering your products. Ray

A: Even though Creatine Titrate is considered a non-bloating form of Creatine there is commonly some form of weight gain associated with taking it due to the cell volumization. The types of cycles that you are asking about are designed for persons wanting to cut weight and fat. Therefore the Creatine Titrate is not a part of the cycles.

Q: I am 40 years old so i need something that will keep my metabolism up. how is spirosome different to others fat Burners? How long it takes before seen results? Which one is better Kranker or spirosome.

A: Spirosome is a quick acting fat burner that is much safer and easier to use than capsules. Dosing with fat burners is key, especially since they are stimulants. With Spirosome adjusting the dose to your age, bodyweight or goals is just a matter of adjusting how many milliliters you pull into the syringe.

As for seeing results? Most people feel a difference in their energy level in 90 seconds, seeing a difference in their bodyfat? well, 2-4 weeks is all that you will need to see how Spirosome will help your waistline.

Q: HI HOW ARE YOU? I WANT TO KNOW CAN KRANKER BE TAKEN WITH OTHER SUPPLEMENTS SUCH AS: CREATINE? ALSO CAN KRANKER BE BOUGHT OVER THE COUNTER?

A: Thank you for your interest in IDS products. Kranker can be taken with Creatine Titrate but as with any thermogenic, be sure to take it with food and drink a gallon of water per day. Kranker is a natural supplement and should be available in health food stores nationwide. If it is not available in the store near you, go in and show them your sample and information. Demand the original Kranker, don't let them try to switch you to an inferior brand that requires 4-6 capsules per day.

Q: i am using your Durabol product. The directions say to take two times a day, I was wondering how far apart I should take them. If you could write me back and tell me ideal times I would appreciate it. Thank you- Charlie

A: Durabol is an anabolic product that has effects of hardening and strength gain as if it was Deca Durabolin. Taking the Durabol product is quite easy, since it is an etherated prohormone, the liver cannot destroy it when you ingest the capsules, but be sure to take the capsules with meals as it will help to avoid stomach upset and will also increase absorption. Take one serving with breakfast and one with dinner. Two capsules per serving.

Q: I am currently on a 3 day on, 1 day off workout schedule. Should I take creatine titrate on my day off? Also, how soon before I work out should I take the creatine? Thanks, Lance Patrich

A: With Creatine Titrate we recommend if you are over 160 pounds that you take one serving before you train and one serving after. The days that you don't train take one serving in the morning before breakfast.

Q: I have a question. Where can I send my sincere thanks for an incredible creatine product. I am a personal trainer, with a reputation for teaching other trainers about supplements, nutrition, and exercise. I am methodical about my nutrition and exercise, measuring and analyzing everything to a T, so I know when something works. I thought that effervescent creatine was the gold standard. I stumbled upon IDS through samples and I got better strength gains with creatine titrate. I was stuck on squat forever. Seven days on IDS creatine titrate and not only did my squat go up, all my poundage went up. If I have time I will send you some numbers in a month. thanks, dedicated and impressed in Denver, Eric Allen

A: Enough Said!

Q: I recently purchased your product via Netrition.com and am very excited to begin use of Creatine Titrate. As a trainer with 24 Hour Fitness, I am curious to know what you recommend concerning ingestion timing and dosage for myself as well as clients seeking hypertrophy. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

A: IDS recommends for men over 160 pounds, one serving before and one serving after workouts. The days that you don't train take one serving before breakfast. Each bottle should last roughly 1 month.

Women and men under 160 pounds should only have to take 1serving per day post workout.

Q: Why is your product called Norandrosome, so similar to the IDDS product of the same name. Similar labeling very confusing to get correct product. Scott

A: IDDS? Now you don't think that there is a company out there who is trying to capitalize off of the good name of Innovative Delivery Systems do you? Similar company name? Similar product name? Don't be confused. Instead of buying a BMW would you buy a car that called itself a BMMW? There is no similarity except that the cars both have 4 wheels...but you don't know about the knockoff...

Q: Hello, Ive been using your creatine titrate and have found it to work better than any other creatine I've used so far. I feel strong and pumped! The people in my wing chun kung fu class are now looking at me in a new big,bulging light. I do however have a question. I work third shift. I do cardio to burn fat(as I have a problem with this) before work and lift wieghts after work. By the time I get done lifting I have about 3-4 hours before I have to go to bed. When should I take your creatine titrate? Is it not a good idea this late in the day after lifting? Thank You very much for your products and your help. Jason VerVeer, Do Jeh

A: It sounds like you have quite a schedule! Well, Creatine Titrate should be a tremendous help for you as well as Total Recovery from IDS. Total Recovery is a Glutamine and MSM supplement that will help you to recover after these marathon workouts of yours.

As for dosing your Creatine Titrate? To avoid any problems with your timing, take one serving before your workout and one after. This will give you better pumps during your workout and replenish your creatine stores postworkout. Remember, while you are doing cardio, your body is still exercising so don't worry so much about the Creatine timing until after your entire workout.

Q: do you still carry andro 1-ad. you have your website on the bottle but dont see the supplement on your website. please get back to me. mike

A: IDS does carry 1-AD. Our Androgen-1 is 100% Ergopharm / LPJ Research 1-AD. Sorry about the mixup on the site as we are making some changes. Please call us at (888) 950-3373 if you have questions that cannot be answered on our site.

Q: What kind of weight gains are typical with the use of creatine titrate over a months period?

A: Weight gains? The first thing that has to be clear to any Creatine user is that the primary effect of Creatine is not weight gain. This is a lie that has been perpetuated by big money companies that sell high calorie Creatine Monohydrate products. These product that contain upwards of 70 grams of dextrose per serving and 10+ grams of Creatine can cause a great deal of bloating due to the 8+ grams of undissolved creatine that is accumulated in the intestine, causing a great deal of bloating.

Don't get me wrong, Creatine does cause the muscle cell to swell. Creatine Titrate is no different, but the major thing that you can count on is that you will remain ripped when you use Creatine Titrate. There will be absolutely no bloating! Count on another thing as well, your strength and pumps will go up with Creatine Titrate as well, this is the real function of Creatine. Increase the amount of Creatine available to the muscle cell when it contracts, resulting in more power. More Strength builds more hard lean muscle! Don't be fooled by Bloated Hype.

Q: I would like some cycling information on spirosome, I am 4 wks. out from jrs. worlds in Boston thanks Rick

A: Rick, the cycling of Spirosome will very from person to person due to the tolerance of each athlete to the stimulant. General rules for Spirosome are to take two servings per day. Some athletes actually get better results taking 1/2 a serving every 2-3 hours throughout the day. This allows for a low level steady state presence of the thermogenic all day. I would personally recommend this cycle technique for you since you are pressed for time.

Q: How can I get free samples of your products?

A: To recieve FREE samples of products like Kranker, Creatine Titrate or Spirosome just call (888) 950-3373 or email us at http://www.customerservice@idssports.com.

Q: I am interested in different stacking and cycling theories for ids products.

A: Believe me, we have plenty of theories but the best way to see them all is to call us at (888) 950-3373 or email us your address. Our operators will send you a book full of theories and cycles to fit almost any need.

Q: Im interested in your new prohormones but your site wouldnot let me in. preferably Pro Androgen E & Durabol. Todd washington sate.

A: Todd, we apologize for the down server. There have been some extensive changes made to our website and all of it should be completed by the middle of December. If you have more trouble, please call us at (888) 950-3373.

Q: For the past 4 weeks I have been using A100 and T100 from SAN. A-100 being a androstenedial the T-100 being a 1 testostrone pre-curser. I recently purchased Testovar 555 and wanted to know if it would be safe to stack with the products I am currently taking. I have actually taken my first 3 days of the Testovar cycle @ 10ml a day, while cutting back the a-100 and t-100 to a single cap a day rather than the normal 3. My logic was to keep a steady flow of the hormone in my system until the Testovar reaches it's full potency in my system. Along these lines, I would like to know what the difference between a blitz and mass cycle is. Again since I have been on nearly 4 weeks, I do not want to stretch this cycle over 8 weeks. I am more concerned with size versus strength at this point, being that my strength has increased nearly double in some of my training exercises. One last thing, how long does the system take to process this product, I am always concerned when taking multiple products at a time. Can I eat or drink immediatly after taking it, or will it have an adverse affect on it? Also what about creatine, should this be taken @ or around the same time, or should there be an ingestion period? Thanks for your time, J

A: OK, Lets see, where should we begin?

Testovar is an androgenic product, what you are currently taking is a combination of an androgenic product A-100 and a anabolic product, T-100. Testovar contains no 1 Testosterone or 1-AD so the Testovar cannot completely take over the cycle you are on. For this we would recommend Pro Androgen, it contains 100 mg of Etherated 1-Testosterone and 100 mg of Etherated 4-Androstenediol.

Testovar could be used with only the T-100, so as not to waste your money taking two sources of 4AD. In your case try the blitz cycle, you have already taken the 1-Testosterone product so just in corporate the Testovar at 12 ml per day into the cycle for the final 4 weeks. This will react well with your body since it is a different pathway and purely androgenic. The 4 AD in the Testovar should give you the pure size gains that you are looking for.

Don't worry about what foods you take in around the time of the Testovar, nothing will do much to impede the absorption as it is absorbed as if it was a fat by the body. Taking Creatine with either of these products is fine, but be sure that you are taking a non monohydrate creatine like Creatine Titrate if you are concerned about bloating or stomach upset. Take the Creatine Titrate before and after you train, one serving before breakfast on non-training days.

Q: hello my name is victor salinas. i recently met two of your reps at a local store in columbus ohio. it was at a friends shop(nutrition forum). the reason i am email is that i am a second year student at ohio state university and i am very interested in working for a company like IDS. i was curious to know if someone could tell me what, major wise, help me to obtain a job for a company like IDS or one similar. i am into athletics and i am currently starting to bodybuild. i have exercise science as my major, if some one could help me figure out what path to take in my classes that could help me. thank you very much. victor salinas

A: You are on the right track with Exercise Science, but remember to be diverse. Nutrition classes are a must as well as Biochemistry. But don't forget, you need business knowledge! Take some business courses and Management! These things all come into play down the road when you are looking for a position. No company is looking for a one dimensional employee.

Q: I am a 20 year old college athlete, I am looking for a product that will help me gain size and strength. I am 5'8 150 and would like to around 170-175. what products and cycles do you recommend.

A: Your situation is very common. Almost every hardgainer bodybuilder in the world is looking to put on that extra 20-25 pounds. The easiest thing to recommend is a Anabolic and Androgenic approach. First Androgenic prohormones such as 4 AD in either a liposome form to bypass the liver, or an etherated form to protect the prohormone from the liver would be best. Androgenic prohormones will yield massive strength and size but are best used with an anabolic prohrormone such as 1-AD or 1-Testosterone. The only product on the market that can give you the perfect combination of Anabolic and Androgenic properties is Pro Androgen. Pro Androgen gives you the Androgenic punch of 4 AD with anabolic hardening and strength properties of 1 Testosterone. 30 servings for only $89.95!

Q: For fat loss, what is the difference between spirosome and kranker? Also, is there any prohormone that would be O.K. for a female to take that would not show up on a drug test; how long prior to competition should it be discontiinued. Thanks

A: The Spirosome and Kranker are both designed as fat loss products using many of the same ingredients. The difference lies in the delivery system. The Spirosome uses a type of liposome designed to bring the fat burning components into the bloodstream very quickly. Thus the Spirosome is a very popular preworkout stimulant as well as fat burner. In addition people enjoy the fact that they can customize their dose to their needs because it is in a liquid form. The Kranker is designed as a fat burner but with a time released effect. The strength of the Kranker is tremendous for energy and fat loss, but the time release effect enables the user to take only one pill early in the day, and enjoy the fat burning effects for 6-8 hours. This makes Kranker a very inexpensive and effective addition to anyones supplement routine. As for a prohormone for women, two products come to mind. The first is the new Durabol containing a very anabolic combination of Etherated 19-Norandorstenediol and 5 Methyl 7 Methoxy. These products produce a virtually side effect free strength and lean body mass increase in just weeks. Because the 19-Nor component is Etherated it is effective in a capsule form and easy to take. Norandrosome 300 is a liquid non etherated version of these same two components. Because the prohormones are not etherated, or protected from the liver, they must be suspended in a non soluble liposome to bypass the liver in order to be effective. Supplements like these generally last in the bloodstream for only a few days, 72 hours they are non detectable. Steroids that are oil based injectables like Deca Durabolin is what lasts in your system, detectable for months.

Q: Where can I find more photos of the beautiful Paula Bush?

A: Q: Where can I see more photos of Paula Bush?

A: IDS will be updating our website creating a separate site devoted exclusively to Fitness Models. Be on the lookout for this site in the next few weeks.

Q: I WAS WONDERING IF YOU TAKE THE DIET PILL PHENTERMINE, CAN YOU TAKE ANY OF YOUR PRODUCTS TO REDUCE THE BODY FAT AND TO LOSE WEIGHT WITH IT? OR IS THERE SOMETHING BETTER THAN PHENTERMINE TO LOSE WEIGHT AND FAT THAT YOU HAVE? THANKS, TONI

A: We could not make recommendations on what products that you can take with pharmaceuticals. What we can tell you is that taking Spirosome or Kranker alone will help to increase your metabolism and reduce your appetite dramatically. This in conjunction with a regular exercise routine and smart eating has helped IDS customers lose as much as 60 pounds in only 12 weeks.

Q: I want to know about the anti-estrogen product anti-aromatase. Do you still make it?

A: We do still make it. The Anti-Aromatase is a very vital part of any bodybuilder's cycle, especially if they use anabolic steroids or pro steroids like Pro Androgen, Androvar or Testovar. These products product dramatic size and strength gains in a short period of time, but have some androgenic effects. These effects are combated by the Anti-Aromatase. See below.

The human body male or female has a ratio or natural balance of hormones, such as Testosterone and Estrogen. Anti-AromataseTM is designed to inhibit the conversion of Testosterone (androgen) to Estrogen. This naturally occurring conversion is the result of the body noticing that there is an abundance of Testosterone in the body and in the hopes of maintaining its normal homeostasis or balance, converts some of the “excess” Testosterone to Estrogen. This conversion is especially prevalent in athletes supplementing with Testosterone enhancing pro-steroids or anabolic steroids. The body recognizes an abundance of the Testosterone hormone and increases it’s rate of conversion of that hormone to Estrogen. For an athlete whose goal is to increase muscle size and strength while decreasing their recovery time, this reduction in Free Testosterone, supplemented or not, results in a metabolically induced step in the wrong direction.

Anti-AromataseTM is a proprietary formula that was designed to increase free Testosterone to Estrogen ratios as well as decrease Estrogenic effects. Larger amounts of naturally produced Testosterone in the bloodstream reduces recovery time from exercise, increases protein synthesis and sex drive, while allowing for more intense workouts. Inhibiting the conversion of supplemented testosterone from Pro Steroids or Anabolic Steroids can result in fewer adverse side effects such as water retention, gynocomastia, and increased body fat deposits. Another result of inhibiting this conversion is, because there is less loss of supplemented Testosterone to Estrogen, less Testosterone would have to be supplemented to achieve the same performance levels.

Anti-AromataseTM accomplishes these goals by interfering with the sex hormone binding globulin, which allows hormones to remain bioavailable longer. It also contains phytochemicals, which inhibit aromatization of Testosterone to Estrogen and phytochemicals that bind to estrogen receptors and have anti estrogenic properties.

Q: I just purchashed Norandrosome 300. The salesman who sold me it told me there is no estrogenic affects, upon doing more research I noticed that it may cause some aromitazation. Is this true? Also how long should I be on it before cycling off. Thanks for your time. Nate

A: Your salesman is giving you general information based on what is known about 19-Norandrostenediol and dione. In general, these prohormones act much the same way as Deca Durabolin which is widely considered the safest least androgenic anabolic steroid. Yes, if you look hard enough, there will be a small population of people that will still be sensative to this family of testosterone, but in general terms your salesperson was right. There should be very little estrogenic effect. Cycling of a product like this should be 4-8 weeks on and at least 4 weeks off.

Q: What is the proper way to cycle Androgen-1(1-AD)? What are some possible side-effects if I don't cycle and take Androgen-1 (1-AD) every day for a year?

A: Androgen 1 (1-AD) is a highly effective anabolic pro hormone that converts to 1-Testosterone in the liver. This non aromatizing product has shown itself to be so effective that we often get questions like yours about how long to use the product. Rest assured, 1-AD is best cycled on and off, ideally on for 4 weeks and off for 4 weeks. Remaining on this prohormone or any other, or even anabolic steroids for too long will only serve to possibly reduce your own testosterone production and increase your likelyhood of incurring any or all side effects associated with increased testosterone supplementation. You will be the guy on the news that they talk about and cause millions of people to look at natural supplements as the work of the devil.

Q: My buddies tell me that I need to max out once a month to see if my supplements are working but it seems like I end up hurting myself every other time I max out. Then I can’t train for two weeks! What’s answer? How can I tell if my workouts and supplements are working if I don’t’ max out and how can I max out without getting hurt?

A: About 15 years ago college and professional level strength coaches were tired of running into the same problem with their athletes. As a result they came up with a formula to derive a one-rep max by actually doing lighter weight a number of times. And believe me, it is accurate and much safer! The formula is as follows:

Say you can bench press 200 pounds 3 times for a max. (Sharpen your pencil, this will go quick!)

Take the amount of weight used on the exercise multiplied times the number of times it was done. Then take 3% of that adding it back into the original amount of weight used.

200 pounds used x 3 reps = 600
600 x 3% (.03) = 18 pounds
200 + 18 = an approximate 218 pound bench press max!

Add 18 pounds to the weight you used (200 + 18) resulting in your one rep max 218 pounds!

Q: I need cycle information on testovar 555. I used Norandrosome 300 for the past 4 weeks at the rate of 4ml 2x daily. I was told to now switch to the testovar for the next 4 weeks and then switch to androvar? All at the same rate of 4ml 2x daily. I was told this by the retailer that sold it to me. Please help. Thanks

A: This sounds like a sort of a blitz cycle which we do promote in our book. I would personally recommend the Norandrosome to be in the middle of the two 4 Androdiol products (Testovar and Androvar). You may want to just try the Androvar after your Norandrosome cycle, then follow it up with 1AD from IDS (Androgen 1). The reason being that you want to take different chemical compounds each time, overlapping two similar compounds would not yield the best results. The recommended dosage for 1AD is 2 capsules 3 times per day if you are under 200 pounds and 3 capsules 3 times per day. Be sure to take the capsules with meals. Be sure to call us at (888) 950-3373 or email us for your free copy of the cycle book that I referred to.

Q: I recently purchased your Creatine Titrate.Why do I only need one serving per day?Almost every other creatine product,recomends a loading dose,and then a maintenence dose.Also,how long should I stay on this product,before I need to abstain from it?

A: The recommended dosage for an athlete above 150 pounds is taking the Creatine Titrate once before training and once after. On the days not trained, only one serving is needed taken in the morning before breakfast.

The optional loading phase for Creatine Titrate to saturate the muscle cells with Creatine is 4 servings per day for 5 straight days. The loading phase is not required as the above maintanace phase will yield the same muscle saturation after 28 days.

Q: I AM TAKING CREATINE TITRATE AFTER I WORKOUT. I ALSO TAKE MY PROTIEN AFTER I WORKOUT. WILL TAKING THEM BOTH AFTER WORKING OUT HURT THE RESULTS OF THE CREATINE TITRATE (taking them so close together).

A: Taking them both after you work out is fine, but be sure that you are taking them in seperate glasses not mixed. The Creatine Titrate must have only water mixed with it since it undergoes a chemical reaction in order to dissolve it.

By the way, to optimize your results with the Creatine, we recommend taking one serving 30 minutes before you lift and one serving after. The days that you don't train just take one serving before breakfast.

Q: Whatever happened to pro androgen 1? You guys told me it would be available well over 2 months ago!!! I'm curious about the price.

A: Pro Androgen is now available! The product has gone through some changes from when we first announced that it would be made. First, it is in capsules. The ingredients, ether 1 Test and ether 4 diol make it one of the most balanced anabolic and androgenic prosteroids on the market. Since they are both etherated, they are galvanized, completely protected from the destructive liver enzymes. There are still 30 servings per bottle and cycleing is available. This website is undergoing substantial rebuilding behind the scenes right now and the information on the Pro Androgen will be posted soon. Pro Androgen sells in stores for $89.95 per bottle, right now if you call (888) 950-3373 as about or substantial savings if you become one of our regulars on our mailing list.

We do recommend taking the Anti-Aromatase with the product as anything with the mass inducing ether 4 Androstenediol will show some level of estrogen conversion. This will also enable you to carry a higher level of your own testosterone throughout the cycle and after.

Q: I have not seen any other companies producing creatine titrate products. Why? It seems to me that if creatine Titrate is all that it is cracked up to be other companies would follow in IDS's footsteps. Does creatine titrate offer the same hyper-hydrating effects (to the muscle cells) as other creatine products do?? As we know, these effects help augment the size of the muscles and this is what I am interested in.

A: Thank you for your interest in IDS products. "If Creatine Titrate is all that it is cracked up to be" is quite an interesting comment. Firstly, the raw material in the Creatine Titrate is a patented material of which few people have access to. It is also almost three times the cost of regular Creatine Monohydrate, so many companies do not wish to engage in a much less profitable product. Lastly, the raw materials used in the Titrate are very similar to Effervescent Creatine made by companies such as GNC, Met Rx, EAS and FSI. The difference is that IDS has used a slightly different, less expensive way to conduct the chemical reaction, eliminating the need for the Sodium Bicarbonate reaction. Making Titrate as effective with a better taste and a much smaller cost. As for effects, of course the Creatine Titrate has cell volumizing effects just as Monohydrate. The only difference is that there is no undissolved creatine floating around in the small intestine to create any bloating or diarrhea. There is no cramping due to the body pulling water from the bloodstream to flush out undissolved creatine. Creatine Titrate leaves nothing but what creatine is intended for, strength and lean mass increases.

Q: What's up, IDS? I have just finished a split cycle of Norandrosome 300 (6 weeks) & man does that product really KICKS ASS! I am as strong as a rhino with rabies! I have a couple of questions for you guys. 1) Should I be on a product such as "M" from Biotest to reduce any estrogen caused by the Norandrosome 300? 2) If so, then how long should I be on it before I start my next cycle? 3) Is it also a good idea to start a product such as "Tribex 500" by Biotest to normalize my test levels? 4) If so, for how long before my next cycle? 5) Could I cycle Norandrsome 300 with a product such as 1-AD? 6) If so, what would my doses consist of for both? I am 6'-1" @ 225lbs. Any other suggestions you might have would be greatly appreciated. IDS kicks MASSIVE ass! Keep up the great work. Oh yeah, don't let the government start banning your products... they have a bad habit of doing that. Could you please send me some samples of anything you wish, because I would like to use more of your product line. Thank you - Vincenzo

A: 1) Should I be on a product such as "M" from Biotest to reduce any estrogen caused by the Norandrosome 300? Actually with the ingredients in Nor 300 you should have very little if any estrogen conversion. If you do feel as though you are having any telltale signs, M from Biotest or Anti-Aromatase ($29.95) from IDS would both be good products to take. If so, then how long should I be on it before I start my next cycle? If you do decide to take either Estrogen Blocker, I can speak for the Anti-Aromatase that you should try it for the last 2 weeks of your cycle and during the 4 weeks that you are off your prohomone cycle. 3) Is it also a good idea to start a product such as "Tribex 500" by Biotest to normalize my test levels? Actually, by inhibiting the conversion of Testosterone to Estrogen, you will be normalizing your own testosterone levels without creatine any kind of artificial stimulation for this. Anti-Aromatase is designed to normalize your free testosterone ratios which will quickly normalize your test levels, though something like Norandrosome 300 will not significantly deplete them under a normal 6-8 week cycle. 4) If so, for how long before my next cycle? Normally, 4-6 weeks is required before you begin another cycle. It is also a good idea to try different products from cycle to cycle, this will allow for your receptors to become even stronger for the next time. 5) Could I cycle Norandrsome 300 with a product such as 1-AD? Yes, but more frequently bodybuilders will stack an anabolic product such as Norandrosome or Androgen-1 (1AD) with an androgenic product containing 4 Androstenediol (etherated or in a liposome) for a better synergistic response. Much like stacking Dianabol with Deca or Primobolin. In general, at your weight Patrick Arnold, the father of 1AD and provider of the IDS raw material for our 1AD, recommends 3 capsules 3 times per day with meals.

Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Q: I'm taking IDS 1-AD just started and I was wondering if I could also take IDS Testovar 555 at the same time. I used to use Ergopharm 1-AD and Bio-test Androsol together at the same time and got decent results. Is there a problem doing this. I'm going to Cancun and I'm trying to put the beach muscles on in 4 weeks.

A: As a matter of fact, using the 1-AD (Androgen-1) with Testovar 555 or Androvar is ideal for synergy in size building. The 4-AD androgenic effects combined with the 1-AD anabolic effects are similar to what you would see a pro bodybuilder try to do by using Dianabol and Primobolin. The Dianabol is the hard core size inducing drug while the Primobolin is best for lean gains in mass and strength. Combining them allows you to do a smaller amount of the Dianabol (Testovar or Androvar) while you off set the effect with the Primobolin (1-AD). Combining your anabolics with the androgenics is the safest and most effective way to put on muscle, but remember 4-8 weeks is the limit of time that you want to be on. And to answer your question about beach muscles in 4 weeks, absolutely you can make dramatic changes in your physique in that short of time.

Don't forget to call us at (888) 950-3373 for free cycling information. These free books from IDS will show you very simply how to take combinations of IDS products to achieve your goals. IDS does not try to send out complcated literature to talk down to you, we want our customers to full understand what they are taking and why we recommend these products.

Q: Why do bodybulders allways use asthma inhalers even tho they dont have asthma problems?

A: This is an interesting question that I have not been asked in quite some time. Clenbuterol is a popular beta agonist drug used by bodybuilders for fat loss. It also works much like ephedrine in the raising of heartrate and therefore energy levels. One of the side effects of Clenbuterol is muscle growth, the perfect non steroidal not so legal supplement? Since Clenbuterol is an oral asthma medication no longer used in the United States it is not always readily available unless you go to Mexico or Canada. Therefore some bodybuilders have resorted to Albuterol. Albuterol is a cousin to Clenbuterol both of which are asthma medications. Albuterol is used in a liquid form converted to a mist for asthma sufferors to help with bronchial acute bronchial problems. It has a very short half life and will have virtually no fat lost or muscle gain effects because of this. To answer your question? I understand why bodybuilders think they want to use asthma inhalers, but the real story is that they are wasting their time and money if they believe that it will make them grow.

Q: I just recently bought one of your product, Androvare Androgenic. My question is this, im trying to lose fat and put on muscles will this produck do the job?

A: The Androvar can absolutely help you put on muscle, the loss of fat will be determined by your diet as much as the product. This product is very androgenic, this means that it will increase mass and strength much more than an "anabolic" product, but that it may have other effects such as water retention, increased sex drive or aggressiveness. I would suggest using the Androvar with a product such as the Spirosome, a fat loss product. This way you will be putting on muscle and burning fat, maybe not changing the weight so much on your scale, but you will see a tremendous change in the composition of your body. That change is what you are looking for. Please call us at (888) 950-3373 if you would like to sample the Spirosome Fat Burner.

Q: dear sir, i would like to know about the noranedrolone-and the side effects if any, and how to minimise those side effects.

A: Q: I read on Bodybuilding.com site (Anita Ramsey) that you were having a "model search". She (Anita) said that you want pictures of what I can look like, and what I look like now, Correct? I'm guessing that you guys can make a transformaion out of me....Are you looking for people who are always in "contest" shape? Mahalo, Troy

A: Yes, Anita is right. IDS is currently having a modelsearch. IDS is interested in people who are intersted in being the feature photo in advertisements in magazines such as Ironman, Muscle Mag, Flex, Natural Muscle etc... This is not a transformation contest in any way whatsoever. We are solely looking for people who are already in shape to be photographed and featured in front of thousands of bodybuilders just like yourself.

Q: Enter QuestionI bought some oxandrolone and it comes the italy the pill are 2.5mg and they come pakage in 30 tablets push thru the box i identical to the ones from spa the lot # on the back is a023127020 the only difference i see from this one and the one in anabolics 2002 book is that they come in 1 30 push strip and the one in the book come in 2x 15 push strips. my question is are the real or fake. also i bougt some oxandrolone from a brand Ttkoyo do you my next question is are the real. the pills are orange color with a T om the middle . thanks jm

A:

Q: Do you have any free samples that you can send to me by mail?

A: We would love to send you samples, IDS prides itself on allowing people to try our proudcts before they buy them. We feel that it is only fair. Just call us at (888) 950-3373 or email us your address and the samples will be sent out free of charge, yes free.

Q: I was interested in trying "Hydoxycut" and someone suggested I try "Kranker" instead. Could you send me some samples so I could try it? Thank you very much! Angela Rumney

A: We, being as impartial as possible would highly recommend trying the Kranker if you are taking Hydroxycut or any other Thermogenic. The strength of the prodcut is well known, but the fact that the does is one capsule a day instead of 4-8 makes it much more affordable. Just call us at (888) 950-3373 or email your address to us.

Q: Hi, I was interested trying the androvar, but wanted to know if there is any side effects if followed by the recommended dosage? If there is what are they? I was going on a 8 weeks cycle. Should I use the anti-aromatase after the cycle? What does the anti-aromatase contain. thanks

A: Androvar is a very powerful Androgenic prohormone which is perfect for mass cycles. Side effects from Androgenic prohormones can include increased sex drive, slight water retention and possibly increased aggression. Most of these possible side effects are irrelevant if the product is cycled correctly for only 6-8 weeks.

Anti-Aromatase is highly recommended for persons who take Androgenic steroids or prohormones in order to reduce the possibility of any testosterone converting to estrogen which can cause puffiness, water retention or gyno. Anti-Aromatase contains herbs which have been shown in clinical studies to inhibit the conversion of testosterone to estrogen in the body. IDS recommends taking 6 capsules per day for the last two weeks of any Androgenic steroids or prohormone such as Testovar 555 or Androvar and 4 capsules a day as a maintanence dose during the 4-5 weeks off between cycles. Always split doses into 2 capsules at a time morning and evening or morning noon and evening.

Q: does taking spirsome and creatine cancel each other out.

A: Spirosome being a thermogenic product does not cancel Creatine Titrate or any other creatine product out. This is a myth perpetuated by a small study conducted (7 people) showing that the diaretic effects of caffeine reduced the effectiveness of creatine. It to my knowledge has never been repeated. Keep in mind that the original research done on Creatine at the University of Knottingham mixed creatine monohydrate into hot tea and obtained some of the most significant research results leading to the production and marketing of creatine today. Be sure to keep hydrated when taking any creatine product, ESPECIALLY monohydrate versions as they do not dissolve well and can cause stomach upset and cramping on their own. Creatine Titrate dissolves completely in water yielding no side effects relating to dehydration.

Q: What is the ingredients of the Creatine Titrate? Also, can this product be purchased in Canada or shipped to Canada?

A: Creatine Titrate is composed of 5.5 grams of Patented Titrated Creatine and 5.5 grams of Dextrose. It is available in many stores in Canada but if you cannot find it, feel free to call the Candadian distributor for IDS at 204-233-3132.

Q: Hi, I just got a bottle of androvar to stack with my 1-ad. I want to minmize side effects so Iam just taking 3 caps of 1-ad a day and 2 servings(mornings and before workouts) of the androvar. As for the androvar is that a good dose? Should I only take it before I lift? Any advice will help thank you

A: Androvar from IDS is actually licensed 1AD from Ergopharm. 1AD was invented by Patrick Arnold who has done extensive interviews with Ironman Magazine on the subject of proper dosing. According to his findings, a male under 200 pounds can obtain significant results from 1AD from taking 2 capsules 3 times per day or 3 capsules 3 times per day for a person over 200 pounds with food for 4 weeks. Always take prohormones or prosteroids consistantly, meaning every day regardless of if you train or not. This will allow for consistant levels of hormones to be present in your body for growth, repair and strength augmentation.

It is also recommended by Patrick to take a good dose of 4 Androstenediol at the same time as you are on the 1AD. IDS has a very simple inexpensive form of liposome delivery 4 Androstenediol called Androvar. 6-8 ml a day of Androvar along with a consistant correct dose of 1AD. Call us at (888) 950-3373 or email us for a free cycle book which includes many more ideas on dosing for specific results.

Q: By taking Zmass PM can it show up as a steroid on a physical because i play football and im very concerned being that if i get drug tested will it show up as a steroid

A: Zmass, although not an IDS product is a fairly simple animal. It is designed to increase your bodies tesosterone level without prohormones or prosteroids. It will not show up on an actual drug test. But it may show up on a steroid test! Please keep in mind that a cheaper test which is conducted by many universities and natural bodybuilding and powerlifting federations measures testosterone ratios in the bloodstream They are based on a "Normal" level of free testosterone in the body and if you happen to test with a higher than "Normal" level you could be red flagged, without using any steroids at all! I suggest that you find out if the university is testing for specific steroid drugs or if they are testing for testosterone ratios.

Q: Can you tell me what fat burning is good for those of us that can not take the stimulants.

A: In your case as well as thousands of others, Ma Huang is something to stay away from due to its periphiral side effects. These could include nervousness, increased heart rate and bloodpressure. For you to achieve similar effects you should look toward products which include a caffeine source of 150 mg -200 mg per serving (About equal to a cup of coffee) and 25 mg of synephrine. Synephrine is obtained from the herb Citrus Aurantium and is a cousin of Ma Huang. Synephrine has shown significant fat loss in clinical trials but with one noted difference, no periphrial side effects. No increase in heart rate, bloodpressure or jitters. IDS does Ephedrine Free Kranker will be out in just by the end of June 2002 and may be the answer you are looking for.

Q: I've been on Norandrosome for 4 weeks now and the results are awesome. In 4 weeks I lost 4 pounds and my arms, chest, back and shoulders are clearly bigger. Thanks. My question is this....After I stop Norandrosome in 2 weeks, what should I do for the following 6 weeks until I can go back on a 6 week Norandrosome cycle? John J. D'Alessandro

A: It is great to hear your positive feedback, Norandrosome has always been a favorite of mine since the gel caps we started with 4 years ago. As for your question, any off cycle should be viewed as a time when you can do more than maintain your gains from your cycle. You can actually gain during your offcycle if you continue to train and eat right. Back off of the heavy training, increase your reps and the rest between your sets. Use the time to recoupe your joints and your mindset. As for your supplementation, Anti Aromatase will help to increase your free testosterone allowing you to get harder and stronger than you could if you used nothing at all, actually you may not see any drop off of your strength or bodyweight from your Pro Hormone cycle. Keep your protein level at 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight (at least!) and take a creatine supplement, preferrably a non bloating creatine like Creatine Titrate. You should have virtually no drop off of your gains before your next cycle!

Q: I just purchased testovar555 and spirosome. I just took my first dose of testovar,i was wondering if you can mix it with a drink or if you can chase it with any juice or water without dulling the affect.and also,can you tell me the doseage and best time to take both the testovar and the spirosome?

A: Testovar being an insoluble liposome delivery is not able to be mixed with liquids. You may drink or eat anything that you want with the product before or after you take it. Dosages will very depending on the cycle that you want to do. We can send you a free book containing 15-20 cycles if you would like, we just need your name and address.

A: 1. Testovar 555, Norandrosome 300 and Androsome all use the same insoluble liposome technology making them safer and more effective than any dry delivery due to the fact that they bypass the liver by entering the bloodstream by going through the lymphatic system. 2. All liquid products from IDS are in liposome solutions. Please keep in mind that there are many types of liposomes. There are liposomes, which are sublingual, transdermal and some that are insoluble to be treated as fats and absorbed through the lymphatic system of the body. 3. VPx is a competitor of IDS. It is common for unscrupulous competing companies to print false information about their competitors. As mentioned earlier, there are many different types of liposomes, as many liposomes as there are products to deliver into the body. Most of the liposomes in the sports industry are designed to bring a product into the body bypassing the liver since the liver is responsible for the breaking down of prohormones. There will be no dispersion of Testovar, Norandrosome or Androvar in water because they are not meant to become soluble in the liposome. The VPx liposome is a sublingual, in order for this type of liposome to work the idea is to attempt to make insoluble products such as prohormones soluble. The down side to this type of delivery is that to bypass the liver the product must be held in the mouth for 10-20 minutes. The taste very much becomes an issue. Product that is swallowed has very little chance of bypassing the liver since it passes quickly into the small intestine where it is sent to the liver. IDS liposomes are meant to be swallowed immediately whereby they bypass the liver through the lymphatic system. A much easier way to take the product with the same liver bypassing results. Any male hormone product has the ability to cause the effects listed with the VPx product just as steroids have the same capability. The idea of taking the products safely is to cycle them the way that they are recommended. Be sure to get off the product for the proper amount of time to allow your body to regulate it's own hormone balance.

Be sure to remember that when companies "bash" other companies without giving any kind of actual scientific basis, only big words and claims, they only make themselves look bad. It is good that you are checking around before buying and before believing.

Q: I want to know the dose for kranker I am 5 10 205 lbs with 12% body fat I want to lose 5 lbs thank you rob

A: The dose for Kranker is one capsule daily with breakfast. After 4 weeks you can move to another capsule with lunch. We do not recommend that you increase your dosage until the energy effects of the Kranker become minimal by lunch.

Q: i have lost 107 lbs. since May , but now i'm broke would you please send me all the free samples you can? please..Brandon

A: Broke? Well, we can send you the same product samples as we send everyone else, but we can't promise to take over as your sugardaddy. Remember, you can get 100 capsules of Kranker, the most powerful fat burner on the market for as little as $19.95. That kind of money can be in some peoples couches! Our suggestion, go to some parties and dig through some furniture if you don't have a job.

Q: looking to sell these items in bulk. what is you volume discount pricing? Thanks in advance..kevin jones

A: For all bulk pricing call (888) 950-3373. Be sure to be on the IDS mailing list for any and all special offers that we send.

Q: I live in CA can I still submit for "Fit Model"? Is there work here in CA? Susan

Q: CAN I ORDER ON LINE WITH A CREDIT CARD?

A: Absolutely! IDS takes Mastercard, Visa, and American Express.

Q: If I was to use Norandrosome 300 once a day when would it be the best time for me to take it. Before or after a workout ,in the morning or before I go to bed. If I move it to twice a day when would best.

A: Using Norandrosome once a day will not keep the hormone level consistant enough in your bloodstream for the best results as the liposome will only sustain itself for 8-10 hours. It is best to take 1 serving with breakfast and the other 30 minutes before workout to optimize your hormone levels. It makes no difference that you have or don't have food in your stomach since the product is digested as if it was a fat and does not compete for absorption.

Q: What happened to the tast of spirosome?? It's not as good as the last.

A: Spirosome is a product which has changed several times over it's lifetime. IDS is continually attempting to improve taste while at the same time improving effect. The current version is much stronger due to a change in the extraction process which improved the effect of the product while being slightly detrimental to the taste. Believe us, the new version of Spirosome will jack you up like never before!

Q: Is Dr. Jose Antonio affilliated w/ this company? If so, how can I reach him? Thank you, Craig Joseph Paulitz

A: Dr. Jose Antonio is not associated with Innovative Delivery Systems or Supplement Synergy. He is a trusted leader in this field who we have consulted in the past on different products and projects.

Q: Hi Is there any way I can get a sample of your 1 test in in liquid or pill Thanks Nathan

A: We don't have samples of the Pro Androgen 1 or the Androgen-1 since products of that nature need to be taken for 10-14 days in order to see results. We would be glad to send samples of products such as the Creatine Titrate, Spirosome, or the Kranker, all of which yield immediate results. Just email or call us with your mailing address at (888) 950-3373.

Q: I recently purchased norandrosome and would like cycling information. Also, should this be taken on workout days only, not including rest days; or should it be taken every day. I am a 46 year old female bodybuilder. Also, do I need to cycle off when getting ready for competition? Thank you. Kathy

A: Norandrosome as well as any other pro hormone should be taken consistantly whether you are working out or not. When dealing with your bodies hormone levels you must remain consistant, otherwise your body tries to adjust it's own hormonal balance which can mean that it begins to work against you. Liposome products from IDS such as Norndrosome, Testoavar or Androvar should be taken in two seperate doses during the day since it is able to remain active in the body for 6-8 hours. Cycling off of pro hormone products is important. If you stay on a product for 6-8 weeks you should be off of it for at least 3-4 weeks. This allows time for your body to regulate it's own hormone levels as well as bringing the receptor sites back to their normal affinity.

Q: I have recently tried your Spirosome product, and I am quite pleased with it. I have recently noticed ads for a product called Clenbutrx Liquid that appears to be similar to Spirosome, only it is much more expensive. Could you tell me the differences between their product and yours?

A: We can't really comment on the exact amounts of the ingredients in the VPx Liquid ClenbutrX as apposed to Spirosome. What we can tell you is that you don't need to hold the Spirosome in your mouth in order to get the desired fat burning or energy effect. The liposomes used in the products are very similar relying on reduced particle size of ingredients wrapped in a myocell for easy uptake into the bloodstream. It is also important to know that IDS stands behind our products with a money back guarantee.

Why the Clenbutrx is double the price? Your guess is as good as ours.

Q: just bought Androgen- 1, wanted to know the best way to cycle it. Thanks

A: According to the expert on 1AD, Patrick Arnold, take 6-9 capsules per day for a period of 6 weeks. I do suggest that if you are over 180 pounds that you stick with 9 capsules per day. He also suggests using a small amount of 4 Androstenediol with the 1AD. It is very important that you use a form of 4 AD that bypasses the liver like the Testovar 555 or the all new Androvar from IDS. This way using just 4-6 ml per day will be plenty to even out the types of Testosterone in your body for maximum results!

Q: I have just started to work out and I am lifting weight my muscles are very sore the next day can u please tell me if this is normal and if so what can i do to lessen the soreness.

A: Thank you for your interest in idssports.com. Yes, muscle soreness is normal. This is due to the fact that intense exercise is actually tearing down muscle tissue. Growth of muscle tissue is caused by the rebuilding of this tissue. All of this is a very normal process. There are things that you can do to reduce the soreness of your muscles. First, be sure to stretch before and after you work out. Also be sure to warm up properly by doing low weight with high repetitions when you start an exercise.

Diet also plays a large role in muscle sorenss. Protein and amino acids are vital for muscle recovery. If you have just begun working out you will need considerably more protein and amino acids than you did before you started lifting weights. Don't be discouraged, you don't have to start eating raw eggs and steaks, you don't have to put on any weight either.

We recommend beginning with supplementing a calorie free amino acid called L-Glutamine (IDS Total Recovery). This inexpensive powder can be mixed with juice and has little or no taste. Taking 2 servings of this a day will dramatically decrease your muscle soreness.

Another suggestion is to increase your protein intake by supplementing whey protein in your diet. Whey protein is generally a carbohydrate free, low calorie powder flavored chocolate, vanilla or maybe strawberry which is mixed with about 8 ounces of water. Each serving yields about 25-30 grams of protein. Two servings of this per day in addition to your normal meals should also help your muscle soreness without adding more than 200-300 calories per day to your diet.

This is a very simplified explanation of what you could do to decrease muscle soreness. If you would like a more in depth view please email us back or call 888-950-3373 and ask for Nick Worrell.

Q: I am 43 years old. I was benching 315 before a shoulder injury forced me to stop. I am currently taking Cyclo Zmass a pro-testosterone support complex. I have just received your Creatine Titrate. The label says take in the morning or following workout, where your letter states to take it an hour before workout. Which time benefit me the most? I usually lift around 11:00 a.m. Also your Kranker product and Spriosome appear to be similar. Which products gives you the most pre-workout energy? I am not that concerned with fat loss as I am at about 15% body fat right now. Is there any danger with using your energy products right before running?

A: Thank you for your interest in IDS products. As for the Creatine question, we recommend that if you weigh over 150 pounds that you take the product two times per day. Those times are recommended to either be before and after your workout or before breakfast and after your workout. In your case we would recommend before and after your workout. The Kranker and Spirosome products are both fat burners. To take them both we recommend taking the Kranker first thing in the morning and the Spirosome later in the day. This is because the Spirosome has a shorter half life in the body and won't keep you awake at night. There should not be any danger of using these products before running if you have no history of high blood pressure or are on any medication, but if you have any questions we suggest consulting your doctor.

Q: Recently I began using NORANDROSOME 300. Once I take a serving of Norandrosome, should I wait a certain amount of time before I injest water, food, etc.? Would drinking any type of fluid directly after taking a dose reduce and/or minimize its absorption? If yes to the above questions, then how long should I wait before injesting any fluid and/or food following a serving of Norandrosome 300? You help in answering this question is greatly appreciated! Sincerely, Michael T. Fabiano

A: Thank you for your interest in IDS products. In answer to your question, Norandrosome as well as Testovar are very easy to use. You don't hold either one in your mouth at all, just swallow immediately. Making sure that you take the product twice a day, morning and evening or morning and 30 minutes prior to workout, it does not matter what you eat or drink before or after you take the product since it is absorbed like a fat through the lymphatic system. No need to wait any specific time for liquids or meals at all.

Q: I just finished taking Testovar 555! Thats good stuff. I ran out though. Is it ok to take Testovar for 3 weeks and not take it for 2 weeks and then start again. I also took one dose about 3 or 4 hours before the second and got good results. How sholud I cycle Testovar to get the most bang for my buck?

A: Thank you for your interest in IDS products. It is ok to take Testovar in intervals like that. It is actually similar to the Blitz cycles that we recommend. We have included copies of our literature with the cycles on them in this email. Choose a cycle and follow it from beginning to end, the results can be amazing as long as you are eating the right amount of protein.

Call us at (888) 950-3373 for specials or send us your name and address and we will forward you the newest literature and price specials.

Q: I just purchased a 240 ml bottle of Norandrosome 300 and a box of Tribestan, made by Sopharma of Bulgaria. What dosage of norandrosome do you suggest taking and at what times of the day for maximum lean, hard, muscle and strength? Also, why does the company VPX charge so much for their liposomal line of products and have no return policy? I chose your product over the paradeca and decavar simply because yours was more bang for my buck. thanks

A: Norandrosome 300 in combination with Tribistan should be a great stack for low side effect, high strength and lean mass gains. I would suggest that if you are in the 200 pound range that you follow the Norandrosome Cycle listed below. Remember, you want to take advantage of your receptor sites while they are fresh in the beginning of the cycle. The below cycle is based on Norandrolone and Anavar Cycles which have similar characteristics.

Remember to take the Norandrosome in two different doses to keep the levels in your bloodstream high. The higher of the two doses should be taken before your workout. Shake the bottle well, measure the dose into the oral syringe and swallow it immediately. It will be routed directly through the lymphatic system into your bloodstream.

As for VPx and their pricing? We honestly don't know. Truly, the manufacture of true liposome technology is expensive, but we suspect that IDS just has a lower overhead and a bigger commitment to getting the customers great products at affordable prices.

As for our return policy, we back every product up 100%. If you are not satisfied with the products you receive from IDS after proper use, we will replace them or refund your money. Unlike VPx we don't require doctor letters and blood tests to prove to them that you spent $150 on a bottle of product and got squat from it. We don't give you the run around. We are confident that our products work and you will be happy with them. Don't ever hesitate to call or email with questions, we are here to help.

Q: I am a 21yr old, 175lb, male. I have been lifting for about 6 years now and I am overall happy with my body with one exception, my abs. Last year, my junior yr of college, I drank about 5 times a week and have developed a "beer gut." I have cut down my drinking to 1 or 2 times per week, but I am having trouble losing my gut. I am just looking for a way to lose the gut and keep the rest of my body the way it is..Is this possible? Any suggestions?

A: It is good to hear that college life hasn't changed much!

What you are asking is actually a very common concern. Hardening up is actually not difficult or all that time consuming. Incorporating a good fat burner into your daily routine will keep your energy level up while taking the fat off. Losing 1-3 pounds of fat per week is very common, especially with some of the more powerful products on the market like the Spirosome and Kranker from IDS.

Other ideas are to cut back on your processed food intake, that is stop eating out if you do. Also eat less carbohydrates like breads and pastas. Keep your protein intake high while maintaining high levels of vegetables in your diet. Simply put Spirosome or Kranker 2 times per day, cook more at home, stay away from bread, drink on weekends, look great in 8 weeks!

Q: Hello; I've got a question concerning cyclingyourtestovar 555. I started using VPX's Paradeca for 2 weeks and then switched over to Testovar after 2 weeks. Now I just completed my first week using Testovar. Monday I'll start on my secondweek on Testo. I was taking 6 cc of Paradeca a day the first 2 weeks now I'm taking 8 cc's of Testo. This is my question: How long can I go on using the 8 cc's of Testo? Should I decrease the amount in a couple of weeks? How long should I stay on this product before taking a 4 week break? I've heard I could stay on it for 12 weeks and add the spirosome to it at my 8th week. Does this sound good? Could you please let me know exactly how long I can stay on your product and what amounts should I be taking in? I weighed before I started using these products and my weigth was 174 lbs. Now I'm currently 188 lbs, so I'm happy. My goal is to reach about 220 as soon as possible. I thank you very much in advance and await upon yoursuggestions/comments;

A: It is great to hear of your progress! Just so you know, we are including digital images of our literature sheet with our cycling information as well as sending it to your home address. As far as cycling Testovar 555, we only recommend being on the product for about 8 weeks. As you can see by the literature sheet, we recommend combining it with products such as Norandrosome 300 due to the contrast of the anabolic effect of the Norandrosome and the Adrogenic effects of the Testovar. It is a good idea to reduce the anount of Testovar that you take over time. We suggest starting at a high dose, for your bodyweight ml per day and working backwords over 8 weeks to about 2 ml per day. The last 4 weeks of the cycle adding the Norandrosome at high dosages will keep your strength and bodyweight up due to using different receptor pathways. Be sure to keep your protein intake high, approximately 200 g per day in 30-40 mg every 3 hour intervals. Using the Spirosome in small doses throughout the cycle is a great way to stay lean and hard the entire time that you are putting on muscle. We recommend 2-3 ml 2x per day. This will keep you lean without burning unwanted Calories that you will need to put on that extra muscle that you are striving for.

MY second question for you I have a liquid for of creation which is grity and gives me bad stomach cramps with lots of trips to the bathroom.I have a touchy bowel tract anyways.does you your creation have that,I love what creation does for you I have been on the powdered kind made by celltech it did work but I could not stand the trips to the bathroom,10 to 15 times a day I would love to get back on some but I am shy about it,will yours work for me,your norandorsome is living up to whatit is said to do and I have only been on it close to a week,please get back in touch with me and my questions thanks Nathan

A: It is great to hear about your outstanding results from the Norandrosome 300! We love to hear testimonials from happy people like yourself. As for your problems with the liquid creatine, I have personally been involved with the company that launched the liquid creatine phase years ago. The idea was to suspend the creatine in an aloe or a glycerine base to create a better transport system into the bloodstream and avoid cramping and diarrhea. The problem was that the aloe and glycerine only soothed the stomach, it didn't dissolve the creatine which is the real problem. What companies like FSI and IDS have learned in the years since that product was released is that the undissolved creatine will sit in your stomach and intestines just as it does in the glass of water. In the case of the liquid creatine it is floating around in the thick liquid. Your body then pulls water into the intestines to try to dissolve or flush out the creatine. The water is pulled from the bloodstream causing cramping. The water must go somewhere when it is finally in the intestine so it creates a flood of fluid, diarrhea down the intestine. (See the new article in Ironman Magazine October Issue page 154). The Creatine Titrate from IDS completely dissolves in water before you drink it. This way there is no undissolved creatine to cause havok in your digestive tract. You are also getting 2-3 times as much useful creatine into your muscles than regular creatine monohydrate since the human body gets nothing out of undissovled creatine. Look for the new offer from IDS soon. You will be able to buy a risk free 40 serving bottle of Creatine Titrate for only $19.95 until the end of September!

Feel free to call us at 888-795-0444 if you have any questions, and good luck with your training!

Q: I am afraid to work out with weights in addition to the treadmill. I don't want to get big and muscular. What should I do?

A: You need the combination of weight training with cardio in order to build lean muscle. The cardio is very important to burn off unwanted fat that has accumulated and to keep off any additional fat that wants to deposit. While cardio is a good way to burn calories and fat, keep in mind that your metabolism slows down shortly after you have stopped. Weight training on the other hand creates lean muscle through the process of rebuilding. Your rebuilding muscles require energy from protein crabs and fats hours, even days after you have worked out. Working with weights you will be able to reach your goals much quicker and sculpt your body into a much sexier you. You will gain definition and curves from lean muscle that you can’t get from just doing cardio. The results will be incredibly pleasing, not only to you, but others.

So keep up the good work on your treadmill, and you also need to hit the weights too.

Q: How long should my workout take with weights? How many days a week should I train with weights?

A: It depends on what body image you are reaching for. Contrary to believe you don’t need to spend 2 hours in the gym to get a sexy sculpted body, furthermore most women don’t have that much time since they are trying to balance a family, career and time for themselves. So they need to train smarter and harder while they are in the gym. 3-4 days a week with a 30-45 minute interval type of work out is all you need to create an incredibly toned, sexy body. Make sure you mix your workouts up between heavy and light days and have fun. Get creative and always challenge yourself.

Q: I have such a problem with my legs being big. Should I work them out more or will they change with my diet?

A: Your legs will change with diet and exercise. I to have naturally muscular legs, there for I work my legs with two different workouts. I have light days and heavy days; this keeps them at a perfect size for me. If you feel your legs are big then keep most of your leg workouts light. Do your routines with higher reps (12-15-20), this will just keep your legs sculpted with out building mass. You should also be doing cardiovascular exercise at least 3-6 times a week, to burn any unwanted fat. If it is fat that is keeping your legs big then you need to analyze your diet, keep in mind when you lose unwanted body fat it sheds its self off everywhere.

Q: NNorwell - I am going to read your article on fat loss - I have been struggling with fat loss since my teen years. Within the past 2 years, I dropped two sizes due to practically eliminating carbs - My hypoglycemia disappeared and I lost fat - Recently I have been gaining as I went off supplements - I just purchased spyrolean - Any thoughts?

A:

Q: I was on a product (Triax and many other forms of this) previously. It worked really well, however, it was taken off the market and since then, nothing worked well. Since then, I have gone off the supplements due to heavy breakouts and have started to gain weight. I have increased my cardio to offset the weight gain to no avail. Will this product be safe for me and if I go off, will I experience weight gain? I am that 1% that does everything right and yet never loses....Help.

A: I don't know much about Spyrolean but I can tell you that you sound like a person that has an affinity for Carbohydrates. I believe that you should continue to limit your carbohydrates but only do this two out of three days. You body maybe getting used to the low carb diet and you may need to "trick it".

Another suggestion is to find another fat burner. The thyriod fat loss products can have a rebound effect when you get off of them so I personally don't recommend them. I do suggest a good caffeine, ma huang type of stack as it is safe and effective when used correctly. This type of fat burner can be used 2 days on and 1 day off for up to a year effectively. Spirosome and Kranker are both products which suite this depending on your bodies tolerance to these types of products. The benefit of a liquid fat burner such as Spirosome is that you can customize your dose to fit your need. Take a little less if you are too jittery, a little more if you think you need it.

Please contact us again if you have any further questions.

Q: Thanks for quick response. I have bought Testovar&Norandrosome already,but I have two more questions. My diet is around 2500g calories and 250g proteins in 6-7 meals. I like workouts in Arnold style,six days a week. My questions are: I think it is good idea to higher my testosterone after really intense training but I always hear something like prohormones cause premature closure of the growth plates,breast enlargement,testicle shrinkage,higher estrogen.... Is this really true?

A: The things that you hear about prohormones are similar to the effects that you can expect from Anabolic Steroids, especially when it comes to products that are as strong and effecient as the liposome products from IDS. It is true that high dosages of testosterone taken over long periods of time can cause things like testical shrinkage. This comes from the bodies negetive feedback system, seeing that there is enough testosterone in the bloodstream the body elects not to make any of its own. After a long period of time the parts of the body that are responsible for making testosterone, the testes for example, will atrophy. When getting off of an abnormally long cycle it is not uncommon for there to be a lag time between when you discontinue testosterone usage and the time that your body starts back up producing the normal amounts.

As for the estrogen levels and breast enlargement, these effects are also common with high dosages of testostorone in the body wether it is from Anabolic Steroids or prohormones. Seeing that there is a level of the testosterone in the blood that is extremely high, the body, not knowing that you are a bodybuilder or that you are trying to put on size and strength, will attempt to regulate itself. The one way to get rid of excess testostoerone is to convert it to estrogen. This is another reason to go on short well crafted cycles of anabolics. Some drugs and prohomones are easier for the body to convert to estrogen and some men are more prone to this regulation process then others. The fact is, proper cycling of any prohoromone or Anabolic will help to avoid the potential estrogen effects.

Bone plates fusing as a result of testosterone is something that does happen with very young athletes ta
