After all his years in the movie business,
the Sly has finally dug his way into the business of supplements
and sports nutrition. His supplements company "Instone"
makes several different products including: Intake Performance,
IntakeLean, Forza-T, LeanFire, and High Protein Pudding.
Because of the name, all his products carries a slight price
premium compared to other similar products on the market,
and this is definitely the case with Instone Forza T as
well.
I'd be interested to find out of all the
people who purchase Instone supplements on a regular basis,
how many make the purchase based on product quality, and
how many purchased based on the name. We've received a handful
of reviews on the Instone
products at our reviews site. You can read users feedback
there. You'll also find a common feedback is that Instone
products are somewhat over priced compared to other similar
products on the market. Again, like I said, it's all about
the name. But whether the name commands the extra price,
only the end user can decide for himself.
What's In Instone Forza T
The thing about the supplements industry,
is that it really isn't all that innovative. Well, I suppose
you can't really make ground breaking discoveries everyday.
There's all these different products on the market, and
the manufacturers mix and combine them to come up with "new
and better" products. But really, you can do just as
good going the home made route with it. Like creatine for
example. Throw in some dextrose, and you essentially get
Muscletech's way overpriced "Celltech" and EAS'
Phosphagen. See our home brew
recipe here. Or how about add some creatine, HMB, glutamine
and you get EAS's Betagen. Or how about throw in some dextrose
with a blend of proteins and call it a weight gainer! I'm
telling you, there's some seriously intelligent people in
the product development departments of these manufacturers.
Okay, end of sarcasm. =)
Forza T really isn't that much different
from the above examples. Sure, its a great product, our
user reviews say so. (read the Forza
T user reviews here.) But its a great product NOT because
it was innovative, but because it uses great ingredients
that you can spent much less money buying them separately!
That's right! Basically, all Instone Forza T contains is
these 3 key ingredients:
- 300 mg of 6-OXO
- 190 mg of Tribulus Terrestris
- ZMA stack
All that mumble jumble aside, these 3
ingredients work fantastically to boost your testosterone
levels and free testosterone levels.
We all know what tribulus and ZMA are.

ZMA Information
So, how about that 6-OXO?
6-OXO Review & Info
Quick blurb on 6-oxo. 6-OXO was developed
by ErgoPharm. It acts as an inhibitor of the aromatase enzyme
blocking the conversion of testosterone to estradiol. (Estradiol
is the most potent estrogen of a group of endogenous estrogen
steroids.) So in simple english, 6-OXO stops conversion
of testosterone to estrogen.
I tried finding some scientific research
done on 6-OXO, but couldn't really come up with anything
substantial. There is one study floating around the web and
posted on Ergopharm's website on 6-OXO. The study found
the testosterone levels increased 188% and free testosterone
levels increased 226% over a period of 3 weeks for the subjects.
Even if there's limited research on 6-OXO,
personally I have to give it 2 thumbs up, because I've used
it with great results.

Instone Forza T Side Effects
Side effects of Forza T are what would
be expected from the increase in testosterone levels. The
most common side effects include acne problems, increase
in hair growth, and increase in sex drive, which isn't necessarily
a bad thing! However increase in male baldness is also a
possibility as increase in testosterone will lead to increase
in DHT, so for those with a family history of hair loss,
this should be a consideration before using Forza T.
Conclusion
Overall, Forza T is a great product and
works great - that's only because of the ingredients it
uses: ZMA, Tribulus, and 6-OXO. However, because of the
brand name, you will pay a price premium for this product.
If you don't care much about the Instone
brand name, and want to save some cash, go the home brew
route, and just get all these ingredients yourself. You'll
spent a little extra cash in total, but you'll be getting
a lot more servings and at a much lower cost per serving
doing it yourself!
