Does anybody have any info on this product? Are the ingredients safe? Sorry, an athlete under my supervision is taking it but I don’t have the time to thoroughly research it.
These are the purported benefits on their website:
It was a different product, but there were cases of “unclean” Ultimate Nutrition stuff leading to court cases etc. here in Austria.
It was „super complete capsules", Series number: 404001
Can’t tell you what was in there, because I guess it’s not alowed on this board. But let’s say a number of British and Hungarian track athletes had problems with it in the 90s.
Athletes here were warned about positive tests on UN products “BCAA”, “L-Carnitine 1000”, “Fat Bloc Ultimate” also.
So a lot of athletes generally stay away from this brand, just to be on the safe side…
Looks like a kitchen sink pre-workout product similar to BSN’s NO-Explode.
It does however contain Glycocyamine, which is basically label dressing and added to give a bloating effect in creatine supplementers. Problem is there are studies that show it elevates homocysteine levels and high levels of plasma glycocyamine may be attributed to neurological disorders (dementia, alzheimers) as well as coronary heart disease.

Pass on it - it’s not worth any ergogenic benefits.
