Chaos and Pain is a US supplements company focused entirely on bodybuilding. The company is based in Arizona but sell solely online.
Chemical X is a prohormone supplement that contains herbal ingredients plus a 19 Nor DHEA compound that the advertising claims will convert into Nandrolone in your body, once ingested.
Nandrolone is a synthetic anabolic steroid that mimics the effects of testosterone, so the idea is that doing this will help you build muscle and bulk up. There is no real proof that Chemical X will actually work as described because none of the ingredients in this supplement are well researched or proven and safety could be an issue. Take this expensive supplement and you are playing the role of the guinea pig yourself because we guarantee this formula has never been tested on humans.
Effects could be unpredictable thanks to the unknown properties of the ingredients and lack of clinical testing.
However 19 Nor DHEA is known to cause loss of libido, erectile dysfunction, increased LDL cholesterol, decreased hdl cholesterol, liver and kidney damage, reduced sperm count, increased blood pressure, and increased heart rate.
Chemical X is massively expensive. In our opinion, Chaos and Pain should be paying customers to test it out, not charging an over-inflated price for a potentially dangerous and certainly unproven supplement.
It costs a whopping $79.99 for a bottle of 60 capsules. You are recommended to take 2 capsules a day so this adds up to a 30-day supply.
Shipping costs are calculated at the point of sale.
It probably does not come as any surprise that we do not rate this supplement very highly. This whole area of prohormones is under-researched and although you can find plenty of similar supplements on sale elsewhere, it is all a bit hit and miss and built on maybes and hype.
The Chemical X advertising does not really make it very clear that this is a prohormone supplement. Instead, it bangs on about Nandrolone being great for muscle building while failing to add that this is a banned steroid and that taking prohormones also comes at a major risk to health. This supplement is not proven to work and it does contain ingredients that are untested for safety.
It seems to us that Chaos and Pain have minimised the potential risks in an attempt to snare unwary customers who are likely new to bodybuilding. Don’t do it. If you do want to go down the prohormone route you really need to do your research first so that you are aware of the potential risks, as well as the potential benefits. This basic information is not provided by Chaos and Pain.
We are becoming increasingly bored with Chaos and Pain and their wacky advertising style and we have yet to see a decent supplement from this company that will live up to their tiresome badass claims. We do not recommend Chaos and Pain Chemical X to the Watchdog readers.
Chemical X or Chemical X19 Nor as it is also called, is a supplement that contains a prohormone compound that according to the product information, converts to Nandrolone in the body. Nandrolone is an androgen – a male hormone and although it can be present in the body in tiny amounts, it is a synthetic androgenic anabolic (ASS) steroid that mimics the effects of testosterone.
Bodybuilders and athletes take Nandrolone illegally in order to boost muscle, strength, and exercise performance. Some of the useful side effects of Nandrolone are muscle growth, increased recovery time in muscle damage, and reduced joint pain.
Although Nandrolone is a banned substance, like all anabolic steroids, the same is not true with prohormones. The difference between steroids and prohormones is that with a prohormone, the steroid manufacture takes place in the body, rather than delivered in steroid form and this provides a legal loophole for sellers. Although many prohormones are also banned, by tweaking existing formulas into something slightly different, it is possible to legally sell very close equivalents to banned substances.
Chemical X contains a blend of three prohormone substances in the 19 Nor DHEA blend. These are 19 Nor Androst 4 ene 3b ol 17- one, 19 Nor Androst 4 ene 3b ol 17- one Deconate and 19 Nor Androst 4 ene 3b ol 17- one Ethanate.
As well as the prohormones, Chemical X contains a dodgy Nigerian plant extract called Fadogia Agrestis which is supposed to boost sex drive, and there is also a chemical called 5a hydroxylaxogenin which is also plant derived; it is a plant sterol which is believed to have anabolic properties.
Chaos and Pain supplements come under various loose categories such as the Cannibal range, and the Olympus range to turn users into gym gods! The Chemical range is all about mass building and is based on the use of prohormones and Fadogia Agrestis.
We have reviewed some of these previously including Chemical Four Mass Accelerator, and Chemical One Lean Mass Gainer.
LET’S GET READY FOR BULKING! Life’s too short to be small and weak, but sometimes you need a helping hand to get moving in the right direction.
According to the advertising, Chemical X is safer than many other prohormone supplements available. It explains,
Too many of the “prohormones” that were on the market came with side effects that made you wonder if the hypertrophy and strength gains made were worth the trouble. That era has ended, thankfully, and a new era is being ushered in- incredible gains in size and strength with few and manageable side effects. 19-Nor- is just such a compound…
… 19-Nor- supplementation results in massive gains in strength and muscle mass, but its unique chemical structure minimizes the androgenic effects one would experience with nandrolone itself.
Essentially what the advertising is saying here is that Chemical X is as good as taking Nandrolone for results, but side effects are less likely.
No. It does not seem very likely to work. There is not much in the way of straight information about the components of this supplement – all the ingredients are touted by people selling bodybuilding supplements, but there seems to be very little in the way of real information.
One thing we did find out was that Nor Androst is well known for causing side effects and according to many bodybuilders, is not very effective.
The other ingredients; Fadogia and 5a hydroxylaxogenin have only undergone testing on small animals. It is hard to see what was achieved by doing any of this animal testing when the results for even this limited research are not publicly available. However, none of this has stopped supplement sellers touting the ingredients contained in Chemical X as being the next best thing in bodybuilding.
It is important to remember that if you do take supplements like this one, you are essentially playing the role of the guinea pig or lab rat yourself. And actually paying good money to do it!
Serving size is equal to one tablet.
The product information claims that 19 NorDHEA is a safer alternative to Nandrolone. This may be true but there is little in the way of any true information about potential risks. Some people who have used 19 Nor DHEA (not this supplement) have reported:
Other side effects to 19 Nor DHEA may include:
There is no information about the potential risks of the other ingredients used in this supplement.
Caution:
Not suitable for individuals under 18. Avoid if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Avoid if you are trying to conceive – the ingredients in Chemical X may damage male fertility. Take medical advice before buying this supplement. Should you experience any side effects and need to see a doctor, take the supplement with you. The ingredients contained in this supplement are under-researched and unknown regarding safety or risks so effects could be unpredictable.
The only customer reviews available are posted on the Chemical X sales page, so we have no way of knowing if these are genuine or have been invented to boost sales. It is possible that they are genuine but an absence of any less than positive reviews leads us to believe that Chaos and Pain filter out negative comments.
Comments include,
Best gains ever. Gains on gains. Muscle on deck.
Chaos and Pain delivers, it’s that simple! Up in physical mass and weight in all my lifts. Hard work deserves supplements that work just as hard.
According to the advertising, Chaos and Pain claim to offer a 100% money-back guarantee on all supplements including Chemical, One but there is no information about how to get your money back you should be dissatisfied.
You can contact the company via Facebook, email, or phone.
Chemical X is available from the official Chaos and Pain website. At the time of writing it is not on sale via Amazon, although you may be able to find it on sale elsewhere from some independent retailers.
