Crazy Bulk Reviews: the Truth [EXPOSED]
My inspiration for writing this post is because I've seen dozens of bloggers praising Crazy Bulk, but hardly any of these reviews seem genuine/honest.
It brings out the skeptic in me when I see countless 5/5 reviews regarding a certain supplement.
…because even the best supplements in the world still have SOME drawbacks.
So, in this article I'm going to warn you about certain Crazy Bulk reviews you can't trust; and where to find honest reviews from customers who've actually tried their supplements.
Are Crazy Bulk Selling Anabolic Steroids?
Firstly, Crazy Bulk do not sell anabolic steroids. A better name for them would be ‘legal steroid alternatives' because that's exactly what they are.
Crazy Bulk have marketed their formulas as ‘legal steroids‘, which could deceive some people, thinking they're anabolic steroids when they're not.
Crazy Bulk only use natural ingredients, which are deemed to mimic the same muscle-building processes that steroids do, enhancing protein synthesis and increasing testosterone levels. However, this won't be to the same extent as anabolic steroids – otherwise they'd come with harsh side effects.
So anyone thinking D-Bal will give them the same results as dianabol is most likely going to be left disappointed.
My Experience on TT (A Crazy Bulk ingredient)
Although I haven't tried Crazy Bulk's supplements out myself, I have taken tribulus terrestris which is a main ingredient in the following CB products:
Tribulus terrestris is a natural herb that I first took when I was 18.
…and my gains on it were nothing short of spectacular (seriously).
My muscles grew so fast, it felt like I was taking steroids…not a natural plant.
I would literally wake up to bigger muscles each morning which is an incredible feeling. I must've gained at least 15lbs of muscle in the first month of taking it and my strength went through the roof, adding 10kg-15kg to my bench press like it was nothing.
There was one drawback and a pretty big one at that…
Come the end of my tribulus cycle I was experiencing pretty bad anxiety, which was new to me as I'd never had any issues with this before. I also had a feeling my blood pressure was spiked because I felt hotter than usual and I would often get out of breath. After doing a bit of research online I found out that tribulus is a stimulant, which can cause these symptoms I was experiencing, if a person is particularly sensitive to stimulants.
So if you don't get on well with stimulants, stay away from the Crazy Bulk products listed above as they contain tribulus.
However, if you drink coffee, tea, energy drinks or any other caffeinated substances regularly; then you'll most likely be fine as you'll be less sensitive.
When I was taking tribulus for the first time, my PT also said he used it and has insane gains. However, my brother's also taken it and noticed absolutely nothing.
This contradictory opinion on certain supplements is normal in bodybuilding. Some will work well for one person and do nothing for the next. Anyhow, I don't take tribulus anymore because I don't think it's worth going through these adverse mental side-effects…even if I did have insane gains.
But, if a person could experience the gains I had on tribulus without the anxiety and blood pressure increase…that would be the ultimate natty supplement.
Do Crazy Bulk's Supplements Really Work?
So, if we can't trust over-hyped Crazy Bulk reviews online due to bias, how can we know if Crazy Bulk's products actually work or not?
Many people like to search on forums when trying to get an unbiased opinion about a supplement. However, this isn't a 100% trustworthy source either.
- It's common and easy for sales people, working for that supplement company, to join forums saying how good a product is to boost sales.
- Competitors of the supplement company can also join the forum and start bashing their rivals.
- A few people who haven't tried the supplement may talk about it negatively, because they don't have an open-mind.
Users to look out for on forums are those who have low post counts. If they haven't made many posts, it's obvious that they've just created a profile quickly to comment on a certain thread.
Even Crazy Bulk reviews on YouTuve aren't 100% trustworthy, because they could've been paid to talk well of a specific supplement. I'm not saying this IS the case but it is possible.
Why You Can't Always Trust Review Websites
Review websites can be a legit way to find real reviews. Amazon is the most popular example of a website which has genuine reviews.
Unfortunately though, Crazy Bulk don't sell their supplements on Amazon.
Currently there's a review website at the top of Google for the phrase ‘Crazy Bulk review', but none of their reviews are from verified customers.
The problem with review sites like these is that anyone can submit feedback; so rival competitors may see this as an opportunity to try and ruin another company's reputation.
…and if anyone has enemies it's Crazy Bulk.
I'm not going to name any names, but a Crazy Bulk competitor (who also sells ‘legal steroids'), tried to put Crazy Bulk out of business once by marketers who promoted their products. This bitterness was all because a marketing company ditched them and replaced them with Crazy Bulk, resulting in them losing hundreds/thousands of sales a month.
What I'm saying here is, I wouldn't place 100% trust in any ‘review site' that cannot verify purchases. Because an unethical company can quite easily submit a dishonest review, bad-mouthing their competition.
Equally, Crazy Bulk could also submit fake positive reviews if they wanted, bigging up their own supplements.
Crazy Bulk have some impressive before/after testimonials from customers on their website. However, because it's easy for supplement companies to pay people for before/after pictures (who haven't really taken the supplements), we'll ignore these.
However, that's not to say these transformations are fake; because they could be from legit customers who've genuinely tried their supplements and got results. But due to potential bias, I won't class these as credible reviews.

9 Real, Unbiased Crazy Bulk Reviews
The only way to get REAL, legit Crazy Bulk reviews is to listen to people who've tried their supplements and aren't affiliated with Crazy Bulk in any way, shape or form.
…this almost guarantees honest feedback because they won't gain or lose anything as a result of their comments.
Such reviews can be found on social media where gym rats often talk about what supplements they're taking to their friends.
Here's what I've managed to dig up, in regards to what people are saying about Crazy Bulk.
…I might have spent a couple of hours stalking people on Instagram to get this.
1)
2)
3)
Cutting stack? When I get my pay next week I'm ordering it! Already bought d-bal and it works a treat! #crazybulk

…The guy above has lost a considerable amount of weight which could be down to trenorol (a cutting agent). However, I don't recommend taking Crazy Bulk's bulking supplements if you're eating little food, as a calorie surplus is optimal when trying to build muscle.
All 9 of these reviews are very positive.
I hadn't come across any negative Crazy Bulk reviews on Instagram or Twitter, however that's not to say every Crazy Bulk customer is happy.
Even the best bodybuilding supplements on the market get a couple of negative comments, because no one's body is the same and we all react differently to supplements.
Mostly though, the reviews I've found for Crazy Bulk across social media are very promising.
It's clear from these unbiased Crazy Bulk reviews, that their steroid alternatives do work (at least for some people).
…and lets face it, if a supplement really is a rip off you'll usually hear about it over social media. For example, think of all the Juice Plus haters you see on Facebook absolutely bashing their supplements.

Do I Need to Run a PCT with Crazy Bulk's Supplements?

I've also completed a detailed ingredient breakdown of Crazy Bulk's supplements further down in this article.
Will I Experience Any Side Effects?
As Crazy Bulk only use safe and natural ingredients, you'll experience much less side effects than if you were to take anabolic steroids. Some people may experience no side effects whatsoever, but even with natural supplements adverse effects can occur.
For example, I'm very sensitive to stimulants so I can experience a spike in blood pressure, anxiety and increased sweating from caffeine or tribulus terrestris. But others can take tribulus without experiencing any of these side effects. Moral of the story – we're all different.
Ultimately, all of the ingredients used in Crazy Bulk's supplements are safe, hence how they've been approved by the FDA for consumption.
How Much is Shipping?
If you live in the U.S you'll get free post and packaging.
If you don't live in the U.S, you'll have to pay $9.99, which is fixed and doesn't depend on which country you're from.
Here's how fast you can expect your package to be delivered:
US: 3-7 days
UK: 3-7 days
Europe: 3-10 working days
Canada/Australia/World: 5-15 working days
You can also track your order online to see where it is.
Crazy Bulk ship to any country in the world.
Is it Packaged Discreetly?
All of Crazy Bulk's orders will be packaged discreetly, meaning anyone in your household who sees your package won't know what it is or who the company is.
This makes it ideal for surprises or just keeping your supplement stack private.
How Long Will It Take to See Results?
If you're eating well and your working your butt off in the gym you should see results in 2-4 weeks.
I recommend that you take pictures before and after your cycle. This way you can accurately monitor your progress and see the impact of your supplement stack.
Sometimes gradual gains can go unnoticed, so before/afters pictures are key.
Do Crazy Bulk Accept Refunds?
They do accept refunds but only on unopened items. You be entitled to a refund you must contact them within 7 days of your purchase..
So unfortunately, as with most other supplements, you can't try it out and get your money back if you don't see any gains. But from Crazy Bulk's perspective this does make sense as a bottle could potentially be contaminated after it's been opened and thus wouldn't be fit for re-use.
Will I Pass a Drugs Test?
Of course. These are 100% natural supplements, not steroids or pro hormones which can show up on tests.
There's zero chance of any Crazy Bulk ingredients getting flagged in a test.
