PYGA1 Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 (edited) I bought a tub of USN's Epic Turbo Race Fuel, I have used it 3 times, with the 1st 2 uses I got a rash over my upper body and face, my Joberg2C team mate used it yesterday for the 1st time and also got an upper body rash. It works like a bomb and we will definitely use it for the J2C, has anybody else experienced similar symtoms ? Also I see you should use it 2 hours from the end of a race, do you take it all at once or sip it over the last 2 hours ? Edited March 21, 2011 by GT1
Teppla Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 Its a natural reaction cause the product is full of nitrogen and other stuff to dilate blood vessels and send blood to the skin and muscles(hence the tingles and itches too???)its natural and unless it bothers you, then go for it, use it though towards the end or if its a really short race, thats what its made for (you can try experiment with it by making weakened solutions and sipping that continously?)Its very similar to pre workout drinks that guys take before gymming so dont be too frightened, but also dont become reliant on the product, everything in moderation, except the cycling
Gerhardc Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 wow...interesting.....gonna read up more on this product!

Jaco-fiets Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 (edited) The product probably contains beta - alanine. Its known to give that tingling feeling. Sometimes they add a higher dose to products to give the illusion that the products have a huge effect. Edited March 21, 2011 by Jaco-fiets
Moolz Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 Sounds hectic!!Do some reading up on Jack3d too. Been using it for about 6 months now - and it works like a dream...harder, faster, longer...
Azonic Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 Mixed my last bit of USN Epic Pro into my tub of 32Gi.... its rocket fuel now. Speaking about 32Gi, I was most disgusted that I paid R270 for a tub at my LBS, and today while in Dischem, its R230. Thanks LBS, no really, thanks.
manbearpig Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 *Hijack on* Epic Pro smells like dog food. Why?
Airborne Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 (edited) WTF, It smells like dog food and gives you a rash!!!!Sounds dodge. NO thanks I will rather stick with my tried and tested 32GI. Edited March 22, 2011 by Airborne
Wyatt Earp Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 My advice, if you are doing J2C leave the turbo out of it, just take along standard Epic Pro and a tub of Pepto Pro.
andretraut Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Awesome stuff. I mix 2 bottles of Turbo for a race, but one has a small scoop of Jack3D for added benefits. Works for me!
KnobbyMech Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 My advice, if you are doing J2C leave the turbo out of it, just take along standard Epic Pro and a tub of Pepto Pro. +1 for the Epic Pro. Also take a tub (or 2) of USN recover max for after the race.
Nic0000 Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Took a quick skim over an article about Jack3D, so IM no expert but it sounds like the kind of stuff that would get you kicked out of Tour de France!
WR 1.0 Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Took a quick skim over an article about Jack3D, so IM no expert but it sounds like the kind of stuff that would get you kicked out of Tour de France! I'm sure I saw the latest batch at Dischem of Jack3D had stickers on warning that it contains stuff on WADA's banned list.
Danger Dassie Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Mixed my last bit of USN Epic Pro into my tub of 32Gi.... its rocket fuel now. Speaking about 32Gi, I was most disgusted that I paid R270 for a tub at my LBS, and today while in Dischem, its R230. Thanks LBS, no really, thanks. Yowser  Ya but Dischem buy in the kind of bulk that LBSs and most small shops can't. Most of their stuff is cheaper, although Springbok Pharmacys is also quite nice.  *Hijack on* Epic Pro smells like dog food. Why? Not mine, maybe you should wash charna!
Nic0000 Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Hectic! Well good luck to thos guys out front! I'll be mid pack having fun and avoiding those "potential" side affects!
