    What is Red Acid™ ?


    Red Acid™:
    http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/clabs/red.html

    The Most Advanced Fat Incineration Matrix Ever To Reach The Market!

    Most people have trouble losing their fat stores because they cannot control their food intake while on a cutting or maintenance phase. Even with proper diet and cardio, many individuals will eventually experience problems losing fat at an "optimal" rate. Now we have the answer: Red Acid. Red Acid is the most advanced fat incineration matrix ever to reach the market. Unlike other fat loss products, Red Acid helps you to achieve fat loss via several different pathways. It combines a synergistic blend of naturally occurring fatty acids and fatty acid analogues that serve as endogenous agonists of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPAR-alpha) and help to modulate ghrelin levels, producing a hunger satisfaction that effectively lowers your food intake.

    The fatty acid blend also helps stimulate glycerol and fatty acid release from adipocytes throughout the body. Herbal appetite suppressants that work via the CNS rather than the digestive tract, like our fatty acid blend does, were included to address the same appetite problem, but via a different pathway, the brain. Natural energizers and thermogenics have also been added to increase activity in the gym, which leads to calorie use. Enhanced focus is also attained by the addition of some of the most thoroughly researched nootropics.

    The REDuction Complex:

    Red Acid contains a fatty acid matrix that includes Oleoylethanolamide (OEA) and Tetradecylthioacetic Acid. OEA is a fatty acid that is a naturally occurring amide of ethanolamine and oleic acid. It starts working once it reaches the duodenum (the upper 1/3 of the small intestine) and is normally synthesized there by your body. It serves as an endogenous agonist of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPAR-alpha) and regulates lipid metabolism. OEA also activates vagal sensory afferent neurons and excites nodose ganglion neurons, which leads to decreased appetite and satiety. This naturally occurring fatty acid therefore inhibits food cravings and helps release fat from its stores in the body.

    Tetradecylthioacetic Acid is a special fatty acid that can help support healthy cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL/HDL cholesterol when used in combination with a good diet and also exhibits anti-inflammatory effects. Tetradecylthioacetic Acid, like OEA, is an agonist of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPAR-alpha). Tetradecylthioacetic Acid has been shown to increase catabolism of fatty acids and exhibit antiadiposity effects. Tetradecylthioacetic Acid will help to effectively remove fat from its body stores and without forcing your body to effectively use it for energy. This allows you to "burn" fat at a much higher level than by simply exercising.

    The Red Sweat Complex:

    We have combined the most effective and potent thermonutrients to increase the utilization of energy in your body. The most potent extracts of energizing ingredients were included to make your trip to the gym one you would not forget. If you do not work out with intensity you cannot realize your true potential for fat loss and lean body mass accumulation. Intensity in the gym cannot be accomplished without focus either; you need the mental acuity that only our top of the line nootropics can provide in order to excel at your fat loss goals.

    The Red Slob Complex:

    Lastly, we added a proprietary blend of potent herbal appetite suppressants, digestion aids, thyroid support and stomach soothing compounds that work in synergy to target one of the hardest parts of fat loss: eating right. This blend effectively targets the central nervous system (CNS) to control your desire for food (without nausea or discomfort) and when combined with the anorexic effects of OEA you are in for a powerful combination.

    Does Red Acid™ replace proper diet and cardio ?
    No

    Will Red Acid™ raise my metabolism / basal metabolic rate ?
    Yes

    What it my basal metabolic rate ?
    Your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the energy used (measured in calories) by your body to perform basic functions, including internal energy expenditure, breathing, and body temperature. It is the number of calories your body would expend if you performed no physical activity throughout the day.

    Simply put... your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the rate at which your body burns calories while you rest. This is very important because we only have so much time for cardio each day.

    What "basic" supplements do you recommend while taking Red Acid™ ?

    Creatine (pre and post-workout)
    Whey Protein (pre and post-workout)
    Fishoil
    PLENTY of water
    Multivitamin

    Besides the "basic" supplements listed above, what "other" ergogenics, compounds, or supplements do you recommend to maximize my fatloss results while on Red Acid™ ?
    EAA /BCAA such as Purple WRAATH (during cardio / training)
    Carnitine
    Electrolytes (during cardio / training)
    Pure Synephrine HCL (see more info below)
    Pure Ephedrine HCL (see more info below) OR Blue Rhino™ (see more info below)
    Sesamin / Sesathin
    Selenium

    Ephedra / Ephedrine worked so well for me... why didn't Controlled Labs include Ephedra / Ephedrine in Red Acid™ ?
    In pure form, Ephedrine HCL is technically considered a drug, and not a Supplement. The herbal form (Ephedra) is not something that I personally recommend.

    I'm on medication, should I take Red Acid™ ?
    Ask your doctor before taking Red Acid™

    I have a health condition, should I take Red Acid™ ?
    Ask your doctor before taking Red Acid™

    Yohimbe / Yohimbine worked so well for me... why didn't Controlled Labs include Yohimbe / Yohimbine in Red Acid ?

    a) As a standalone, Red Acid™ is a GREAT choice for those that either "don't respond" to Yohimbe, or respond negatively to Yohimbe

    b) I don't recommend stacking Yohimbe and Ephedrine, so by not adding Yohimbe, we made it possible to customize, maximize, and individualize your own potent "Red Acid™ fatloss" stack.

    Is it necessary to cycle Red Acid™ ?
    This depends on many variables, but if using it as a standalone, we generally recommend that you cycle off Red Acid™ every 6 to 12 weeks

    When starting Red Acid™, should I "taper" up the dosage to assess my tolerance to Red Acid™?
    This is always a good idea

    When cycling off of Red Acid™, should I "taper" down the dosage to avoid caffeine withdrawal... etc..
    This is always a good idea, but not required

    What are some good indications that I'm losing fat while on Red Acid™ ?
    Mirror / Appearance
    Measurements
    Bodyfat caliper
    Bodyweight

    If I workout in the evening / before bedtime, should I still take the 2nd serving preworkout ?
    VERY good question. It's possible that this 2nd serving the Red Acid™ stims / thermos would prevent you from getting deep / quality sleep... if this happens, simply take 1 serving in the morning and 1 serving in the early afternoon. Try to make ONE of those servings a pre-workout serving.

    I workout in the morning / right after breakfast, should I still take the 2nd serving preworkout ?
    VERY good question. It's possible that taking both servings so close together could cause over-stimulation or a caffeine crash later in the day. In this situation, simply take 1 serving in the morning and 1 serving in the early afternoon. Try to make ONE of those servings a pre-workout serving.

    What are some good cell-volumizers that I can take while cutting to maintain muscle "fullness" ?
    Taurine
    GlycerGROW
    Betaine

    Can I stack Red Acid™ with Green Bulge™ and Blue UP™
    Yes

    I heard that all of your products are "Real World" tested and 105% Guaranteed... how many "Real World" Red Acid™ testers do you have ?
    Over 30 testers so far, from the United States and the United Kingdom

    Is Red Acid™ for men or women ?
    Both

    Does Red Acid delay gastric emptying?
    It's possible

    I want to stack Red Acid™ with Ephedrine HCL... what cautions should be taken ?
    Caution should always be taken when combining potent ingredients, and the following is for educational purposes only.

    a) Do not do this if you've never used Ephedrine HCL before
    b) Do not do this if you have a medical condition
    c) Do not do this if you have a history of heart problems in your family
    d) Start with 25mg OR LESS Ephedrine HCL daily
    e) Start with the lowest possible doses of both products (to assess your own individual tolerance).
    f) Go with pure "Bolt" Ephedrine HCL if possible
    g) Red Acid™ contains caffeine, so no additional caffeine is necessary

    Red Acid™ doesn't contain synephrine.... why is that ?
    Legal reasons

    I want to stack Red Acid™ with Synephrine HCL... where can I get it ?

    I read the guggulsterones info above, heard alot about them, and they seem pretty controversial.. is there anything else you can tell me ?

    Why is this a "unofficial" thread ?
    Because some of the information being discussed is for educational purposes only

    What difference would this make to stack Red Acid and Blue Up™ ?

    a) A calorie deficit has the potential to decrease testosterone levels (below baseline), and Blue UP™ contains ingredients aimed at maximizing / maintaining your natural baseline testosterone levels

    b) Blue UP™ contains Yohimbe, which can be effective for fatloss (especially the abdominal / oblique area)

    I've read this FAQ completely, and I still have a question or concern.. what should I do ?
    Please E-Mail me:
    pt@controlledlabs.com and I'll get back to you as soon as possible
