i was out looking at supplements for my cutting phase when i came across eas lean dynam-x and thought it looked legitimate. i cannot afford, however $21 plus shipping for 15 days worth of this stuff, so i tried to get clever...

lean dynam-x is just hmb, cla, and l-carnitine - so if i already take hmb, i could theoretically just buy cla and l-carnitine and take the three together...right? i am pretty sure this works out to be cheaper, the question is will it be effective.

any suggestions are welcome :big_smile:

Why shouldn't it be? Just make sure it won't cost you more, and that you have the right combinations.

I'm still pinching pennys so I can afford hmb. That stuff is like 30 for 15 days, and I need like 2 months worth. Someday, I will have the extra dough. Oh yea, Howdie, is the hmb still working for ya??

hmb is still treating me quite well. i get a month's worth for a shade over $35 at dps nutrition. i take 3g a day and i'm still seeing improvements. somehow i cranked out almost 150 on the incline bench today. uh, i'm still confused about that one. oh and i've been asked recently if i'm on steroids. last time i checked i wasn't growing facial hair...

Many of those supplements are configured so they work synergystically. A stack, one aids the other. Check that it has no other ingredients, something that may be a transport type for instance. If not, you should be able to simulate as you are saying. I would try to find the ingrdients in the same form, like powder or pills rather than mix capsules and powders for instance, for they will absorb at different rates and may not give the desired effect.
