definately a must have By: amos

Review posted on: Sun Jan 10 23:41:17 -0500 2010

im capping it and taking it three times a day before i eat. for all you supplement nerds do a google search of berberine hcl and see the interesting health benefits from this compound. from lowering blood pressure, cholesterol levels as well as your a1c levels. havent measured all that myself and im not making any health claims, but this is definately worth the money imo.

 

taste isn't an issue By: Ian

Review posted on: Tue Dec 08 03:42:29 -0500 2009

first off, the taste isn't that bad once you're used to it. an easy way to get around terrible taste is to have a shot worth of coffee mixed with 1/4 tsp, no aftertaste, no bitterness. really easy to do

 

Taste is no problem By: Tyler

Review posted on: Tue Dec 01 20:08:42 -0500 2009

I was very nervous about the taste of this stuff, and when it arrived yesterday, I was amazed that it isn't that bad at all. The dude who said it is like eating a grapefruit peel was EXACTLY right in my opinion. I just put some sweet grapefruite juice in my mouth, popped 1/4 tsp, washed it down with more sweet grapefruit juice, and a few seconds later the bitter taste is just a memory. I have to disagree with the dude who said the taste lingers for awhile. I feel like it is gone as soon as you eat something. I also like the idea of not capping, because if you have to take a cap 15 min before eating, you should be able to get away with 5-10 min for the powder (so I am not sitting around waiting for breakfast for 15 min...well worth the taste). If you have used any bulk concentrated cissus powder (I have used the UPS and Primaforce cissus powders), this should be no problem for you. Not sure of results yet, so I will post again in a month or two.

I wanted to give another review for YG. I had stopped using it for 6-8 weeks, and although my diet wasnt the best i did gain 6-8 lbs during that time frame. I have been back on it for almost 2 weeks and with my diet in check i have lost about 3 pounds, am leaner and have more energy than before. Also since i am trying to cut down a little bit more, i have had a nice little side effect of my appetite not being all to high, it might be because this stuff is so awful, i still take it without capping. I cannot compare to other similar products, but this is very effective and by far the cheapest. I am anticipating my 150g to last at the very least 3 months and probaly more. Yoou can't beat that for 30 dollars.

I find this to be more effective, and easier on the pocket than R-ALA for glucose management and partitioning. I would have to back everyone else that says this tastes awful though. I have never felt the need to cap any powders before, and believe me I have taken some vile tasting powder/water concoctions. That being said, 1/4 teaspoon of YG in a full shaker is still nearly intolerable with an aftertaste that will linger for hours. No amount of brushing or mouthwash will rid you of this either. Another thing I haven't seen anyone comment on: this stuff stains bad. Once you are done capping (which I would say is a must with this product) immediately clean your countertop or work area. As to the peculiar intestinal problems some suffer: if you read up on berberine you will notice that while it has interesting nutrient shuttling properties in the upper GI tract, it has the opposite effect in the lower GI tract. Not nescessarily bad, but you will likely suffer a little the first couple days while your body adjusts.

Real men dont cap! By: Justin

Review posted on: Wed Mar 25 22:28:52 -0400 2009

Well i just got my yellow gold, and i thought how bad can this stuff really taste, reading all the reviews. i never cap anything cause im to lazy. This stuff is pretty bad, but it the aftertaste that wont go away. I wanted to add what this actually tastes like, its like you ground up some penicilin or something and took it straight. as bad as it tastes i am still going to take it straight!

Tastes like Hell. Works like crazy! By: Monty

Review posted on: Tue Mar 24 18:18:12 -0400 2009

If you are wondering what this stuff tastes like just peal a grapefruit, throw the grapefruit away and eat the peel. If you want to know how it works, do 50 push ups every hour so your chest stays pumped all day. This stuff works great and the taste is worth the effects. If you have a weak stomach you will want to cap this no doubt.

This stuff tastes like Satans toejam, it is the most vile crap i've ever encountered, but it works and well too. Muscle gain and fat loss plus enhanced muscle strength, endurance and hardening. Highly recommened but ensure you cap it.

 

YELLOW GOLD IS PEOPLE! By: eric

Review posted on: Wed Jun 11 12:39:20 -0400 2008

Oops I mean yellow gold is berberine. At least it is extracted from the same plants. This stuff is good for you unlike some of the other junk we jam in our guts.

Have you ever puked,but nothing expect water came out?Remember the strong taste that was left in your mouth magnify that times 15 and you have yellow gold. I personally recommend you take this with milk, and I personally dare you or one of your friends to take this sublingually as this potent concoction is more than you can handle. Nonetheless the results from this product have been incredible! To be honest my muscles especially biceps feel hard as a rock, and I have that pumped feeling 24/7!At 3 cents a day and 1 cent a serving how can you afford to go wrong?

Great pump By: Patrick

Review posted on: Tue Nov 13 16:55:22 -0500 2007

I have been using this along with RPM and WMS for about three weeks now and all I have to say is that the pumps are absulutely amazing! I dose the YG at 500 mgs three times per day. I have noticed a dramatic increase in body temperature that is more powerful than any fatburner that I have tried. I am on a bulk and I am still losing weight around my belly. All I got to say is this stuff is sweet!

Taste's Like AWESOME By: Michael

Review posted on: Tue Nov 13 16:55:04 -0500 2007

Well I won't lie, this stuff is the worst tasting dirt I've ever laid my hands on. But it works. Take it on an empty stomach, wait 15 minutes, and you are HUNGRY. Scarf down a load of protein with ~50g of complex carbs and you get an unbelievable pump. Post workout it helps push the carbs/protein into your muscles where you need it the most. Using YG I've lost a good inch off my waste line in the first 2 weeks. This isn't water loss either as I've been sucking down 1-1.5 gallons of water a day for months now. Anyways, it may taste bad, but it works REALLY well. Beautiful cutting agent / strength preserver.
