Default Epovar by Fizogen

I'm a real skeptic when it comes to supplements. I know that they all do one thing, lean down your wallet. But there are some legit companies with good and effective products. Now I don't like Fizogen just because of the tackieness (sp) of the names of the products they offer. Any company that trys to make thier sups sound/look/appear like steroids makes me laugh. But Randy Couture got my attention in one of the ads and I was wondering if anyone here had tried this Epovar product.

Fizogen products are very overpriced if you ask me, and nothing in them really is something that you couldnt buy cheaper elsewhere

for starters orotic acid is not really recognized as a vitamin. It is manufactured in the body by intestinal flora.. basically body salts. Add in some arginine, potassium, and magnesium and you have Evopar.

So, you could pay 89.95 to Fizogen for thier product, or buy each item seperate

http://www.evitamins.com/product.asp?pid=895
Magnesium Orotate 200mg 60 tabs for 6.79

http://www.evitamins.com/product.asp?pid=743
Potassium 199mg 180 tabs for 8.76

http://www.evitamins.com/product.asp?pid=3008
L-Arginine and L-Ornithine combo 750mg 100 caps for 19.16

As you might be able to tell, Fizogens Evopar has less potassium than what you get in those capsules and too much potassium can be a bad thing, just doing an example. Approxomate each cap and the amount found in Evopar (http://www.fizogen.com/epovar.php) , make your own cocktail.. your net cost will be 34.71 (and you can even find cheaper arginine at Vitamin World stores in 1 gram tabs), meaning Evopar is basically marked up $55.24.

I don't think anyone buys directly from the manufacure anymore. I can find it online for less than $30 with shipping.

I've been talking with some people and they left me with the impression that Fizogen isn't all it's cracked up to be...better follow Aika's advice.

I don't buy any supps with the exception of protien powder and post work out shakes. Other than that, I concentrate on keeping my diet as close to perfect as possible. That in itself is better than all the supps combined.
