During a final week prep has anyone used TARAXATONE and how were your results.

I used it last year during a carb. load scheme and didnt have good results, I cramped but I was debating on using it in conjunction with BEVERLY'S prep scheme of potassium+water+beef+grapefruit the friday before the show.

Do not use the two methods in conjunction. Either do the final week outlined with potassium loading or do the taraxatone. Taraxatone and other herbal diuretics work because they have potassium and or caffeine. Things like dandelion root and other herbs found in natural diuretics work in large part due to the potassium content.

I would stick with what you know works.

I USED TARAXOTONE LAST YEAR BEFORE BOTH MY SHOWS IN '09 AND LIKED IT A LOT. MY FINAL FRIDAY PREP WASN'T BEEF+GRAPEFRUIT THOUGH, IT WAS PANCAKES THEN POTATOES, FISH AND POSTASSIUM LOADING.
I THINK THE MAIN THING IS HOW MUCH WATER YOU ARE HOLDING. I TEND TO HOLD A LITTLE, SO IT WORKED GREAT FOR ME. A FRIED OF MINE DID THE SAME SCHEME, DIDNT APPEAR TO BE HOLDING MUCH, AND THEREFORE CAME IN A LITTLE TOO FLAT THE DAY OF THE SHOW.

I too have used taraxatone for a contest. I thought that it worked well, however since that was the first show and my first experience with taraxatone I don't know it something works better. When the phrase used "looked flat" the day of the show, what exactly does that mean? The muscles aren't showing as well as they could, they aren't as full? Clarification anyone?
