Road Runner Super Product Design Report (January 1999)

The design is based upon treating the whole by giving the organism every thing it requires to reach a better state of awareness by its own natural mechanisms as well as direct stimulation.

Road Runner Super is intended to treat the whole organism rather than parts of it. The components work together to produce an effect that is greater than the sum of each individually. An example of the benefits of this type of synergy working are evident in the relationship between "holistic" and "traditional" medicine.

Road Runner Super should be consumed on an empty / light stomach for the best results ie increasing awareness and a variety of subjective effects ranging including euphoria to rushes.

Here I will state as completely as I can the reasons for the inclusions of each of the ingredients in the Road Runner Super. Any comments about any thing I have said or implied here would be gratefully appreciated. I am always willing to learn and adapt.

Sida cordifolia

The main active ingredient is Sida cordifolia extract, which contains L-Ephedrine. Ephedrine is a natural amphetamine that gives stimulation of the central nervous system (CNS), similar to speed (but to a lesser extent,) along with the excitation of the peripheral nervous system, that is far greater than that associated with Speed. This peripheral activity is what gives the rushes and the tingling of the skin and hair. Exercise upon Road Runner Super will produces masses of rushes. the nature of Ephedrine assures that the overall effects are markedly different from those associated with Speed and other abused Amphetamines such as Ecstacy.

The combined effects of the other ingredients takes the sharp edge off Ephedrine, something that no other product has managed to achieve.

Ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus)

This is known as the king of herbs because of its multitude of medicinal uses including the control of both high and low blood pressure. It is a true adaptogen as it is used by the body to "adapt" itself for exercise, exertion, mental and emotional work and so on with the added bonus that ginseng also works as a relaxant. It is a true stimulant of the mind and body but does not compare to any illegal substance. It regulates the whole of the body and is used here as the most important single component in these supplements to maintain the correct balancing of the body and mind.

Ginseng is also one of the most carefully researched botanicals in the world. The Research Institute of the Republic of Korea has alone cited and abstracted 1191 books and papers published on ginseng between 1687 and 1975, and recent history has this increasing daily.

We need not say much more about the positive aspects of ginseng, as every consumer in this country will have already heard, seen, or tried a ginseng product in the last five years which claims to solve, cure or ease all manner of problems (mental and physical), and to extend and generally improve the quality of life!

Siberian Ginseng is the most potent form of ginseng. It is a stimulant, as well as an adaptogen, acting as a graphics equaliser for all of the bodies glands, compensating for imbalances and thus enhancing the bodies recuperative powers.

Guarana (Paullinia cupana)

Guarana contains caffeine and other methylxanthines. Caffeine is a CNS stimulants. The other methylxanthines (the major two being theobromine and theophylline) have similar but slightly differing effects and strengths from caffeine. Theophylline is present in smaller amounts than caffeine and is a greater diuretic, more toxic, and is less speedy although it has a stronger effect on the heart and breathing (medicinally it is used for treating asthma, bronchitis and emphysema). Theobromine is a considerably weaker stimulant than caffeine - approximately 10% - and its major effects are on the kidneys, as a diuretic, and it is practically devoid of toxicity.

There is additional information about caffeine which is also generally true for its relatives theobromine and theophylline. The use of caffeine does not produce a very strong tolerance, thus the repeated use of guarana will produce roughly the same effect each time it is taken. Tolerance does build up but it never gets high. This fact is obvious as if there was a tolerance then the millions of coffee drinkers around the world would certainly be in lots of trouble.

Caffeine has been shown to improve the performance of people involved in stamina training. The improvements are low in order, around the 2-5% mark but these are never the less significant and this effect is of use here as a proven aid to those involved in stamina exercise ie long bouts of dancing. Also, caffeine has been shown to help in the mobilisation of fat within the body which is important for energy supply during sub-maximal exercise (stamina and hard sweating exercise) and thus can be inferred to imply a use (aid) in the process of reducing subcutaneous fat (slimming).

The hit off guarana is smooth and very pleasant with no caffeine related side effects. The reasons for this are that the percentage of caffeine is low (approx. 5%), there are numerous components present that interact with similar receptors in the body and there are more than likely several other unknown components present that effect the body in more interesting and exotic ways?

Basically guarana is a natural source of caffeine, that is, and has been used for a long time with no known addictive or harmful effects. The overall effect is stimulation and increased awareness. Balanced out with other herbs it works well.

There are also anecdotal reports that Guarana prolongs adrenaline release - stacking your adrenaline. Thus the more work you do the more the adrenaline builds up in your body. The effect is thus greater/better the more you put into it! As this sounds like a sure-fire sales pitch to me and relates to facts I have not yet been able to fully clarify, I will return to the discussion at a later time.

Additionally guarana contains saponins, starch, fats, tannins, pigments and one other important component that I have not yet touched upon which is choline.

Guarana contains caffeine - a central nervous system stimulant, and it prolongs adrenaline release.

L-phenylanaline (L-Phe)

This is an essential amino acid that must be present in the diet. An average person consumes approximately 20g a day from natural protein sources.

Phenylalanine is a neuro-transmitter that is metabolised into various endogenous amines that act as excitatory transmitters such as noradrenaline, dopamine and epinephrine (ephedrine) which promote alertness and vitality. Noradrenaline and dopamine are the compounds that are structurally similar to the drugs of abuse such as speed, meth, ecstasy, MDA, Mescaline, PCP, Morphine, Heroin etc. which they mimic for their activity.

Additionally L-Phe is metabolised to Tyrosine, an amino acid that is the most direct precursor to norepinephrine, dopamine and epinephrine (ephedrine). Tyrosine is the nutrient that is most used in recovery and has been shown to keep neuronal damage to a minimum during stress. As a supplement is has similar effects to that of L-Phe. It is not an essential amino acid as it can be metabolised from L-Phe - although it is important that there is a vitamin C supply so that it can be properly metabolised.

L-Phe is referred to as a natural "upper".

With this stated you will now understand this list of beneficial effects that can be brought on by the ingestion of L-Phenylanaline:

• Reduces hunger
• Increases sexual interest
• Improves memory and mental alertness
• Alleviates depression
• L-Phe is non-addictive so there are no problems about its continued use.

There are the other important nutrients required for the proper utilisation of L-Phe. Making sure the body doesn't have to work too hard or harm its self.

There are two important contraindications to note here; the use of L-Phe during pregnancy is not recommended (as is everything else) and suffers of Phenylketonuria (PKU) should avoid L-Phe. These warnings are included in the packaging and the dangers for PKU suffers will be thoroughly understood by themselves.

L-Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid. It is mood elevating and can be considered as euphoric. It is also required for the production of ephedrine type and other stimulants in the brain. Found in many food stuffs, including diet Coca Cola

Gamma Amino Butyric Acid (GABA).

GABA is again a naturally occurring amino acid. It is found in the brain and the body. It is one of a class of inhibitory neurotransmitters that include serotonin. Although it is classed as an inhibitor rather than a stimulator its definition is only one of electrochemical activity in the brain and should not be interpreted as a downer or sedative - just the term neurotransmitter defines its ability as a natural substance that helps nerve impulses cross synapses and communicate with one another.

GABA usage will stimulate the release by the pituitary gland of Human Growth Hormone (HGH) (or Growth Hormone (GH)) which is naturally released by the body when it undergoes vigorous peak muscular exercise, during certain phases of sleep, or restricted food intake.

GH stimulates growth and repair of the body as well as the activities of the immune system. The immune system is run down by excess exercise without the proper nutrition. GH also helps the body burn fat and convert it into energy and muscle and aids in wound healing and tissue repair. GH is widely known for its powerful anabolic (muscle building) effects as well as its lipotropic (breakdown and utilization of body fat) effects. The overall result of these effects is an increase in lean tissue mass and a decrease in body fat. Finally, stimulating naturally the levels of GH leads to greater feelings of energy and vigour.

Additionally, GABA has been shown to have positive toning effects on the nervous system, to improve sleep cycles leading to more restful sleep and more interesting lucid dreaming, to have a powerful stabilising effect on blood pressure and to be an effective analgesic (removing the perception of pain).

Many of these effects are also to be gained by other components of the supplement and are thus reinforced. The dosage is low as the components are working together and there is a natural overall effect of body stimulation leading to more energy.

Supplementary Notes

The information presented so far gives a fairly comprehensive description of Road Runner Super ingredients and their effects when presented alone.

To complete the description of these supplements, the combination of the single components that make up the whole must be put into context. Each and every component works for and with each other to give an overall effect that is greater than the sum of the individual parts. The technical term for this mutual interaction is synergy, or more elegantly

"the whole is greater than the sum of the parts"

The designed synergy is to produce a healthy stimulation of the mind and the body.

The proper use of these products is to take them on a light stomach (an empty one can give rise to niacin flush, which may be desired by some) and to carry on as normal. The initial effects can be noticed within the hour and will last for several hours (up to nine hours normally).

Road Runner Super is designed to give the body all its requirements for a healthy experience that will reduce stress and fatigue and increase the awareness and cognitive abilities of the taker. The term "smart supplement" is the closest I can come to describing the effects.

Road Runner Super Experience

What is a Road Runner Super experience like?

Basically it feels very much like Speed, however it feels far more natural and cleaner.

Typically you will experience:

• lots of extra energy,
• a feeling of greater strength,
• greater alertness,
• euphoria,
• tingly sensations on the hair and skin,
• lots of "rushes".

How many do you need to take?

Road Runner Super are packaged in three capsule doses - this is one very decent dose for one person.

One capsule will provide a noticeable energy boost, but for a stronger, fuller, drug like experience, 3 capsules are recommended.

The more capsules you take the stronger the effect, however you are very unlikely to need any more than 6 at the most.

What is the best way to take them?

Swallowed with a drink (or emptied into a drink for those who do not like swallowing capsules,) approximately 30 minutes to an hour before clubbing.

How long do they last?

Generally a three capsule dose will give an experience lasting 6-8 hours. Further capsules taken following the first dose will prolong the high.

How do you feel the following day?

Their clever formula reduces the physical burnout that can be caused by stimulants and over-exertion, and as a result there is little or no comedown.

Road Runner Super like most stimulants make most people more inclined to drink lots of beer, smoke lots of fags, stay up late, and not eat food. This can make you feel a bit rough just remember not to go to crazy unless you want to.

Is it OK to mix them with Alcohol and other drugs?

They do not react badly with alcohol, and in fact seen to encourage drinking. Alcohol is a powerful sedative, so it can mask the effects of stimulants such as Road Runner Super, if drunk in large quantities.

Whilst we cannot condone the taking of illegal recreational drugs, we can say that they will not react in an adverse way when taken in conjunction with Road Runner Super, but the overall experience will become a combination of their effects.

Any particular Cautions regarding Road Runner Super?

You should not take if you suffer from any adverse heart condition, or if you are using any MAO inhibiting medicines. As a safer, but more general recommendation you should not take these if you are suffering any diagnosed medical condition, or if you are taking any medicines, without first consulting your medical practitioner. Extra cautionary information is available.
