HOW ACCURATE ARE THE RESULTS?

Although we make every effort to minimize the variables and provide accurate results, keep in mind these are REAL-WORLD tests. Our volunteers do not live in a laboratory. They have real lives and are affected by numerous influences inside and outside their body. When reviewing our test results, please keep in mind the following factors that can affect the results:

PLACEBO EFFECT: Most scientific studies are conducted using the double-blind method. We don’t. The double-blind method means the volunteer testing the product and the person giving the test don’t know if they are getting the actual product or a placebo (i.e., sugar pill). It is sometimes believed that if someone thought they were taking the real deal, even though they weren’t, this would trigger something in their body that would cause the desired effect. Well, that’s all fine in the scientific world, but this is the real world. As we have said before, we do not care about the mechanism or science behind why a supplement is supposed to work. All we care about are results. If you take a supplement (all other variables limited) and put on 5 lb. of lean muscle and your bench press goes from ten reps to eighteen reps, who cares if it was caused by the supplement itself or the shinny label on the outside of the bottle?

NUMBER OF TESTS: The more tests you do on a particular supplement, the better the conclusions you can make about that supplement. We have not yet done a large number of tests on each supplement. However, that doesn’t mean the tests we have completed have no value. How often do people choose a supplement based on a recommendation from a friend or the biased supplement sales person? We believe our tests have much more value than that. Hang with us. We continue to test products we have already tested. Our numbers keep growing and growing.

WEIGHT: Your weight can be affected by the food and water you have recently consumed and where you are in your excretory cycle. A women’s weight can also be affected by her menstrual cycle. These factors will not only affect the reading on the scale, it will also affect the calculations of body fat and lean body mass.

CALIPERS: We are currently using digital body fat calipers to measure body fat. Calipers are not exact. You could test someone three times in a row and get a slightly different reading each time. We do the caliper test two to four times and take an average reading.

CHANGES IN DIET AND WORKOUT: Although we have our volunteers sign contracts saying that they will not significantly alter their diet and workout during the test cycle, small changes can affect the results. Your diet and workout can be affected by injury, sickness, mood, and an infinite number of outside influences. If we feel a volunteer has made significant changes in their diet or workouts, we do not include his/her results in our posted data.

DISHONESTY: It’s always possible that our volunteers lie to us about their qualifications and whether they have followed the rules of the test. We have a good rapport with our volunteers and believe they are basically honest. However, the possibility of dishonesty exists.

UNDERSTANDING THE TEST RESULTS CHARTS

WEIGHT CHANGE (lbs): This column reflects the change in weight in pounds. For example, if the chart shows “2”, this means the volunteer had gained 2 pounds by the end of the test period. If the chart showed “-2”, this means that the volunteer lost 2 pounds. When reviewing fat reducing supplements, you obviously want to look for the largest negative numbers.

WAIST CHANGE (inches): This column reflects the change in waist circumference in inches. For example, if the chart shows “2”, this means the volunteer had gained 2 inches around his waist by the end of the test period. If the chart showed “-2”, this means that the volunteer lost 2 inches around the waist. When reviewing fat reducing supplements, you obviously want to look for the largest negative numbers.

BICEP CHANGE (inches): This column reflects the change in bicep/tricep circumference in inches. For example, if the chart shows “.5”, this means the volunteer had gained .5 inch around his bicep by the end of the test period. If the chart showed “-.5”, this means that the volunteer lost .5 inch around the bicep. When reviewing muscle & strength building supplements, you obviously want to look for the largest positive numbers.

BODY FAT CHANGE (%): This column reflects the change in body fat percentage. For example, if the chart shows “1” or a “.5”, this means the volunteer had gained 1% body fat or .5% body fat, respectively, by the end of the test period. If the chart showed “-1” or a “-.5”, this means that the volunteer lost 1% body fat or .5% body fat, respectively. When reviewing the charts, you obviously want to look for the largest negative numbers which would indicate the largest fat loss.

LBM CHANGE (lbs): This column reflects the change in lean body mass in pounds. This is the amount one would weigh if all the body fat was stripped off the body. If the chart shows “2”, for example, this means the volunteer had gained 2 pounds of lean body mass by the end of the test period. If the chart showed “-2”, this means that the volunteer lost 2 pounds. When reviewing the muscle & strength building supplements, you obviously want to look for the largest positive numbers which would indicate the largest increases in muscle mass.

# OF REPS CHANGE (%): This column reflects the percent change in maximum number of reps on the strength test. The strength test done most often is the bench press but can sometimes be the bicep curl test. If the chart shows “20%”, this mean that the volunteer increase his/her number of reps by 20 percent by the end of the test period. For example, if the volunteer could bench or curl a certain weight 10 times at the beginning, then was able to bench or curl the same weight 12 times at the end of the test, that is a 20% increase in reps. When viewing the muscle & strength building supplements, you want to look for the largest positive number which would indicate the largest increase in strength.

LENGTH OF TEST (days): This column shows the number of days the volunteer was on the supplement. You must consider this when examining the results. It is possible that the longer you are on a supplement, the better your results are. It’s also possible you’re going to get all the positive results out of a supplement in the first two weeks and then no improvements after that. Currently, we do not test for how long a supplement continues to provide benefits.

SIDE EFFECTS NOTES: This column shows the side effects noted by the particular volunteer while taking the supplement. Please note that these are NOT proven side effects. They are only comments from our volunteers. The changes the volunteers felt in their body could have been from something completely different going on in their body and had nothing to do with the supplement itself. For example, if a volunteer noted the product caused diarrhea, it’s possible that the volunteer didn’t know he or she was lactose intolerant and was consuming more dairy products at the time. It is best to look for trends when examining side effects. If four out of five volunteers mentioned the same side effect, then there is a higher probably that that the supplement actually caused the noted side effect.

CIRCUMSTANCES THAT MAY HAVE EFFECTED THE RESULTS: Although we make every effort to minimize the variables in these tests, there is no way you can completely eliminate them. Remember, these are real-world tests. They are not done in a controlled laboratory environment. If a volunteer significantly changes their diet or workout routine or strays too far from the label’s instructions, we will not include their results in our charts. This column is for recording the volunteer’s own admitted variables that he or she feels may have affected results. Common examples include forgetting to take a couple doses, missing a couple scheduled workouts or there was a change in normal diet for a short period

GENERAL COMMENTS: This column shows any other comments the volunteer stated about the supplement. Examples include taste, how well the supplement mixed in liquid and overall satisfaction. Keep in mind these are only that specific volunteer’s opinion and does not reflect the opinions of SupplementTests.com, Inc.
