Modern Man PM

Modern Man PM Review

Modern Man PM is a stimulant-free weight management supplement that also contains melatonin, to help the consumer to get to sleep. The product is designed to be taken at night before bed. The manufacturers also state that the product will help to control and reduce cortisol levels. Cortisol is a hormone that is affected by stress, and that in turn impacts the body in numerous ways. High cortisol levels can disrupt sleep patterns, increase appetite, decrease libido, and negatively affect immune response and wound healing, amongst many other effects. The manufacturers of Modern Man PM suggest that by reducing cortisol levels, the supplement can help to promote increased testosterone levels.

Modern Man PM is manufactured by Modern Man Nutrition LLC. They can be contacted either through Amazon or using the information provided on their official website.

What Does Modern Man PM Claim To Do?

The manufacturers provide the following description of the product’s benefits:

• WITHOUT REST, YOU AREN’T YOUR BEST – Conquering the daily grind begins with sustained excellence on a continual basis. Elevating yourself, begins with ALWAYS bringing your “A game”. The moment you slip is the moment creates an opportunity for another and that constant “grind” induces stress, tension and general fatigue. If you can’t combat them, they will shatter your progression. The functionality of Modern Man PM was forged on preventing these detractors and maximizing restoration.
• BEYOND FAT BURNING – While this product certainly has strong fat burning properties, we would never sit and claim that this will make you lose 20 pounds in a week. It was formulated beyond “weight loss” as a truly complete product to meet the many needs of our DRIVEN community. When relaxation is combined with improved sleep quality and metabolism stimulation, the result is another all-in-one powerhouse that ultimately supports success.
• PRIMED LIBIDO SUPPORT – Reducing body fat through the reduction of cortisol levels has created an additional benefit in supporting the libido. The International Journal of Sports Medicine has published research on testosterone, cortisol, and the male libido. Cortisol levels are easily spiked via stress & overtraining and without proper support, your libido can suffer the consequences.
• LEAN MUSCLE PROTECTION – In addition to potential libido complications, Extended elevation of cortisol levels eventually lead to excessive protein breakdown, which leads to muscle breakdown. THAT’S THE LAST THING WE WANT! Another reason why we dosed so heavily in controlling cortisol.

Does Modern Man PM Work?

The melatonin dosage in this supplement is on the high side (5mg), with experts recommending that consumers start by taking 0.5 mg, and if that doesn’t work, working up to a higher dose. The amount found in Modern Man PM (5 mg) is high, and is therefore more likely to cause side effects.

Most of the supposed benefits of Modern Man PM are secondary effects that result from decreasing the body’s cortisol levels. Cortisol levels increase due to stress, and can have numerous negative effects upon the body, including negatively affecting the libido. Ashwagandha can reduce cortisol levels, and so theoretically, if the consumer is stressed, they could notice some benefits from taking Ashwagandha.

Coleus Forskolhii may have some positive effects upon body composition, but its effects are not well understood, and it does not seem to facilitate actual weight loss. Theanine can aid relaxation, and may help to counter the effects of caffeine.

Overall, Modern Man PM could help the consumer to get to sleep, and could theoretically help to lower cortisol levels, but we are not convinced that it would help to aid fat loss or weight loss.

What Are The Ingredients of Modern Man PM?

The ingredients found in Modern Man PM are detailed below. The ingredient quantities listed are per serving of two capsules.

• Glycine 500 mg: Although most people will enjoy sufficient supplies of glycine from their normal diet, this amino acid is still vitally important for the normal functioning of the body. It is mainly involved in the formation of creatine, and in the metabolism and digestive processes in general. Source
• KSM-66 Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera [root]) 250 mg: This Indian herb has a deserved reputation for combating anxiety, and is known to relieve stress and improve mood in a general sense. It is not thought to be more effective than a placebo at combating erectile dysfunction. It may provide a testosterone boost for infertile men, but is otherwise not thought to boost testosterone levels significantly. Source
• GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid) 250 mg: A chemical that is produced in the brain naturally and acts as a neurotransmitter, it is also available in supplement form. It is thought to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and could also reduce symptoms of PMS. It is sometimes used as a non-prescription treatment of ADHD, as it is thought to induce calm and aid mental focus. However, research shows that GABA supplements cannot cross the blood-brain barrier, and so it is possible that any mental benefits are the result of a placebo effect. Source
• L-Theanine 200 mg: This amino acid is found in green tea, and may increase feelings of relaxation. It may also reduce the negative side effects of caffeine, although there is seemingly no clinical evidence to support this claim. Source
• Coleus Forskohlii Root Extract (with 20% standardised forskolin) 200 mg: This plant belongs to the mint family and is thought to boost the metabolism. However, the clinical trials performed using this ingredient have shown no weight loss, even when the participants’ lean muscle mass increased and fat mass decreased. Source
• Melatonin 5 mg: A hormone that helps to regulate the body’s sleep cycle. It is used as a supplement to treat insomnia, and is also used to treat depression. The recommended nightly dose of Melatonin is between 0.5mg and 5 mg, starting at a lower dose and increasing it as needed. The elderly and those with insomnia appear to benefit the most from melatonin supplementation. Source

Does Modern Man PM Have Any Side Effects?

There are numerous ingredients found in Modern Man PM that could cause a range of side effects.

Theanine causes a state of relaxation without drowsiness, and may help to counteract some of the potential side effects of caffeine, such as jitteriness. Consumers should still ensure that they do not consume caffeine within 5 hours of bedtime, as caffeine can interfere with sleep cycles.

Melatonin can cause some side effects including headache, short-term feelings of depression, daytime sleepiness, dizziness, stomach cramps, and irritability. Do not drive or use machinery for four to five hours after taking melatonin. The dosage of melatonin used in this supplement is at the higher end of the daily recommended dosage, making side effects more likely.

Glycine generally does not cause side effects, but it can cause some gastrointestinal side effects including soft stools, nausea, vomiting, and stomach upset.

Ashwagandha supplementation might cause stomach upset, diarrhoea, and vomiting, especially when taken in large doses.

Adverse reactions to coleus forskohlii can cause worrying side effects, including a stinging in the eyes, headaches, and an increased heart rate.

Are There Any Customer Reviews For Modern Man PM?

At the time of writing this article, there are over 400 customer reviews for Modern Man PM on Amazon, which are generally very positive. However, the listing has received a ‘D’ rating on Fakespot, a website that analyses the authenticity of reviews. It also appears that over 200 fake reviews have previously been removed, and that around half of the current 484 reviews are fake or at least suspicious. The product also seems to have been reformulated slightly in the past, with the amount of melatonin reduced slightly, making many of the old reviews irrelevant.

When I took the recommended dose 2 caps I was up till 3 in the morning when I backed it down to 1 I was still up for more than an hour. These 100% do not put me to sleep I get a rise in heart rate and it makes it impossible to sleep. It was quite awful and I now have a full bottle of these I will never take.

I’ve been using Modern Man V3 and PM for about 3 weeks now. I don’t typically supplement outside of protein powders, so this is my first experience with Modern Man supplements. I’ve had no negative side effects yet have noticed both an increase in recovery ability, quality sleep, and overall effectiveness in the gym. So far so good!

No difference besides a lighter wallet. No weight loss, no better night sleep, no change in libido. Lucky if it works for you.

This stuff was horrible for me. It made me very anxious I could not sleep. I think I had a panic attack. Never again.

Good stuff. Works well for sleep and part of supplement routine. Would recommend in the future.

Your body needs sleep to build muscle and recover. Modern man has made a supplement that not only aids in anxiety relief and restlessness so that you fall asleep faster it helps with food and sugar cravings along with supporting metabolism. If you are looking to build quality muscle and kill it in the gym sleep is of the utmost importance. Make sleep a priority and try this product you will love it!

This supplement made me sick as a DOG. The first few days seemed fine than BAM, was hit with pretty intense stomach pains. I was at the point where I almost was gonna head to the doctor. I know it was the pill because it went away during 2+ days of not taking the pill and came back 2 days after I started again.

Does Modern Man PM Offer a Money-Back Guarantee?

Modern Man Nutrition do not offer a money-back guarantee. As their products are sold by Amazon, all purchases made there are covered by the Amazon returns policy. The Amazon returns policy lasts for 30 days starting from the receipt of the shipment. They are quite vague about what products do or do not qualify for return, so it is a good idea to contact them to check before sending any products back.

Where Can I Buy Modern Man PM?

Modern Man supplements are advertised on their official website, but cannot be purchased directly from the website. Instead, customers are referred to Amazon, the only place that Modern Man products can be purchased from.

A single bottle of Modern Man PM costs $34.99 from Amazon, plus delivery charges. Customers who sign up for the Subscribe and Save auto-ship program can get a 5% discount, and so each bottle will cost $33.24, plus delivery charges. Customers can choose to get new bottles sent to them every month, or up to every six months. We generally advise against signing up for auto-ship programs, as they are easy to forget about and often work out more expensive in the long run, especially if you end up with a surplus of the product.
