USP Labs Jack3d Micro | Just As Good As The Original?

You’ve probably heard how amazing the original formula of Jack3d was. But we all know what happened, DMAA was banned for adverse health effects and Jacked had to change. The question is, is the new formula still effective? Let’s look at the label.

There isn’t a whole lot to work with here, it simply states that this is micro engineered pre-workout technology that looks to center around working with the central nervous system and uses eNOS super performance, to get a feel for this supplement let’s see what real consumers have been saying about jacked micro, time for some social proof.

Reported pros

1) It’s jitter free

2) There isn’t a crash

3) Endurance is increased

4) Focus is also increased

Reported cons

1) Not as many servings in one tub as other POWs

2) Not great value

3) Energy boost isn’t huge

4) Needs more flavors

Ok so far it’s looking pretty decent with a few significant cons to consider. As for the ratings here we see that bodybuilding.com has 608 rating scoring a very respectable 8.8. Supplementreviews.com shows 41 ratings scoring 8.1. This totals 649 ratings rounding off at a pretty good score of 8.76. Let’s take a close look at the active ingredients.

L-Citrulline

a) Amino acid derived from watermelon

b) Is more effective at raising l-arginine in the body than ingesting l-arginine itself

c) Helps to increase endurance as well as provide a much better pump

d) Helps to easily detoxify waste materials and dilates the blood vessels for better supply of blood to muscles.

Arginine Nitrate

a) Arginine nitrate boosts the body’s nitric oxide levels.

b) Just as importantly, it aids in the more efficient transportation of nitric oxide, distributing it across the body via the muscles and bloodstream.

c) In the process of doing so, arginine nitrate promotes improved nutrient delivery as well.

d) This form of arginine takes advantage of the Nitrate-Nitrite-Nitric Oxide Pathway which results in an overall better pump.

Agmatine sulfate

a) The benefits if agmatine sulfate include enhanced muscle pumps, better nutrient partitioning (more calories are shuttled towards muscle tissue and less are stored as fat), and increased production of luteinizing hormone and growth hormone.

b) Helps by providing more muscle glycogen (carbohydrates stored in muscle tissue) stored, and consequently more water retained in the muscle.

c) This can lead to a full look to the muscle and increase muscle pumps.

Grape Seed Extract

a) Powerful anti-oxidant that is known to stay in the body for up to 3 days after consumption.

b) Said to be 20 times more potent than vitamin C when it comes to anti-oxidant ability, and 50 times more powerful than vitamin E

c) This helps to rid pollutants and toxins in the body for overall better health and body function.

Norcoclaurine HCl

a) This is used to replace the geranium in the previous formula

b) It is said to greatly increase focus and energy levels

c) Where DMAA was accused of causing “stim dick” Norcoclaurine HCl may actually improve you’re general’s ability to solute you at full attention.

d) The half life is only 22 minutes, but claims to stay in your system much longer just at a much smaller level.

Caffeine

a) We all know what this does…

b) It increases mental alertness, cognitive ability, and one should not have more than 500 mg’s per day.

Caffeic Acid (3,4-Dihydroxycinnamic Acid)

a) Another potent anti-oxidant, completely unrelated to caffeine.

b) Helps to slow down the oxygenation of the cells in the body

c) The main reason it’s included here is for its powerful anti-inflammatory, anti-fatigue, and anti-stress properties

Final Verdict

I think it’s pretty clear that this is still an effective pre-workout supplement. It seems that people don’t rave about it as much as the original formula, but they seem to be overall happy with it. The user can expect:

i) Increased focus

ii) Increased endurance

iii) Jitter and crash free

However, the draw backs to consider here are:

i) Not a lot of servings in one tub in comparison

ii) Need more flavors

iii) Not a huge energy booster
