Project AD Stampede Untamed Citrus Crush Flavour Review

Most of each serving is a 1066.5 mg proprietary blend called the Stampede Untamed Matrix. Its contents and amounts are hidden, and no human studies of it were found, so the main part of this product cannot be judged. The vitamin C here, 60 mg, is below the 250 mg that helped in studies. In young adults with low vitamin C, 250 mg daily for 4 weeks improved well-being, and also mood and fatigue in those who stayed low ^[1]. A follow-up found only marginal mood gains ^[2]. A 1000 mg dose improved mental vitality ^[3]. In people who were not low, a long trial using 120 mg daily found no change in vitality ^[4]. The niacin here, 10 mg, is a small amount. A pooled review of 27 studies found related vitamin B3 compounds did not improve tiredness ^[5], and a nutrient mix with niacin did not change fatigue in dialysis patients ^[6]. At high doses, niacin can cause fatigue, stomach upset and flushing ^[7], and a single 1000 mg dose shortened time to exhaustion during cycling ^[8]. Overall, the evidence for this product is thin. Animal and cell studies are never counted.

Vitamin C is the main ingredient, and most of the panel recommends or uses it, with a few staying neutral and one who stopped. The most common reasons are collagen support for skin and joints, immune support, and antioxidant benefits, and four of them suggest pairing it with collagen, with one advising taking both about an hour before a workout. Doses mentioned include 250 milligrams a day, an extra gram a day, 500 milligrams to 1 gram for collagen turnover, and 2 to 4 grams for inflammation, while one panelist warns the best dose is unclear and very high amounts might blunt the benefits of exercise. Forms mentioned include a liquid liposomal version, a fizzy drink, and food sources like citrus, guava and sauerkraut, and several also use it on the skin. The one who stopped quit a vitamin C serum because of its smell and noted that applying it to the skin delivers far more than swallowing it, and niacin, also listed as a main ingredient, drew support from two panelists as a way to raise NAD.

Combine with: If the goal is vision, pair or replace this with eye-specific nutrients such as lutein (10 mg) and zeaxanthin (2 mg), as in the AREDS2-style formulas, plus astaxanthin for eye fatigue, omega-3 fish oil (DHA/EPA) for retinal and dry-eye support, zinc and vitamin A or beta-carotene for retinal function, and vitamin C and E as antioxidants. Bilberry or saffron extract may add support for visual function. If you use Stampede for its intended pre-workout purpose, stack it with creatine monohydrate, citrulline malate for pump and blood flow, electrolytes, and adequate hydration. Limit total caffeine to under about 400 mg daily and avoid taking it late in the day to protect sleep.
