PAGG Stack...For me, just AGG stack + 5 Hour Energy vs Red Thunder

AGG Stack
As noted in an earlier post, I am omitting the Polascinol from my stack. 


Wednesdays are my days off, as its in between my off days, and the week of Feb 28th will be my week off of all supplements. 


Here are the supplements I bought the second time around. My first supply was from "The Vitamin Shoppe" and expensive in comparison. I bought 1 bottle of alpha lipoic acid and egcg on Amazon for half what I paid at "The Vitamin Shoppe". What a ripoff. 


I bought these on Amazon, and they may not be the cheapest per item, but I have Amazon Prime, so I figure that into the equation.  Many of the items in these categories have a high per item ship cost, and their window of delivery is huge. I dont mind paying $3 extra to get it asap over 14 days, at least right now. I decided to add the garlic into the mix. I found a good deal. 

GarliPure Maximum Allicin 600mg - 100 - Tablet although I think they started looking around because I paid $7.14 per bottle, and now they are up to $14 per bottle and got 2. 


*****I have dropped the Garlic as of Feb 25. NOT worth the garlic odor from your body and mouth.  They lie when they say odor controlled. *****

Good N Natural - Standardized Green Tea Extract 500 mg (800 mg Polyphenols, 350mg EGCG) - 120 Caps - I paid $11.50 per bottle and got 2. 

Alpha Lipoic Acid 300 mg 60 caps - they have since added the 120 cap bottle, which I would have gotten instead. I bought 3 bottles at $4.59 each. I can stand taking 300mg at a time, and more, so why get the 100mg tabs?  


5 Hour Energy vs Red Thunder Energy Shot
Additionally, I take a 5 hour energy every two days or so, to get the vitamin B. I also like them a lot. I bought two 12 packs at costco for $35, and then found just about the EXACT SAME THING a week later at Aldi for $24. Their brand is called "Red Thunder Energy Shot" and is .99 per bottle.

Here are the ingredients:
5 Hour Energy **** VS Red Thunder
Niacin - 30mg **** Niacin - 30 mg
Vitamin B6 - 40mg **** Vitamin B6 - 40mg
Folic Acid - 400 MCG (.4 mg) **** Folic Acid - 400 MCG (.4 mg)
B 12 - 500 MCG (.5mg) **** B 12 - 500 MCG (.5mg)
Sodium - 18mg
 **** Red Thunder has 80 mg of Vitamin C and zero calories, while 5 hour energy has 4 calories (Red Thunder marketing could claim 5 hour has 400% more calories!) and zero vitamin C. 

Energy Blend - 1870mg **** 1580 mg - I wont list them all, but between the two products, they are the same ingredients, just different amounts, and I am sure that's the "proprietary blend".

Enjoy the cash I just saved you.
