Natural Body offering credits for all Prime purchasers following Intra-MD EAA test results

Following PJ Braun’s departure from Prime Nutrition, which was made official last week via a video Braun posted to YouTube. This week some drama has started up after John Meadows posted results from a few lab tests he had done on Prime’s Intra-MD EAA+. The story does in fact go a lot further than that as it’s brought on reactions from quite a few people including PJ Braun and the retailer Natural Body.

As mentioned the whole thing started when the ex-Prime Nutrition athlete John Meadows posted test results he had done on the brand’s Platinum Series supplement Intra-MD EAA+. You can see his entire post below featuring an image of the results where he tested for the doses of glycerol and theacrine, which did not come out matching anywhere near the amounts listed as “expected”.

Please read: I continue to receive questions asking if I am part of Prime Nutrition. The answer is unequivocally no. I am not associated with them in any way, shape, or form. For those of you who supported me and bought their products, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Unfortunately, I have never received 1 penny of the residual income I was promised for the delivery of IntraMD (which became Prime's flagship product) as a formulator. There were other major compensation issues between Prime and myself as well, but due to legal reasons I can't get into those. There is a much bigger issue here that needs to be addressed though. What is most disappointing, is that I was recently warned about the products with my name on them; that they likely did not have the ingredients (nor the doses) that were in the formulas I gave to Prime. My word is my bond, and I do not put my name on anything unless I believe in it. I know what it's like to manage a tight budget, and the last thing I want is for men and women to throw away their hard earned dollars on something that does not meet label claims, or worse, contain none of the listed ingredients as advertised in the products. I wanted to know if this was true, so I spent a few thousand dollars of MY OWN money to have the products tested for 2 ingredients, for starters – Teacrine, and Hydromax. The testing was done by one of the most reputable labs in the US. On the first test we had a container of IntraMD EAA sent to the lab that was purchased from the Vitamin Shoppe. The results of the first test were well below label claim for Hydromax. This was the only ingredient I had tested due to expense. I then had a second test done on IntraMD EAA that was sent directly to the lab from Amazon (where it was purchased), to confirm and verify the first set of tests that were performed. I had hydromax tested again, and added teacrine to this test as well. What you see attached are the result's of the 2nd test. Needless to say it was another substandard result that validated the first. – NO teacrine was found in the product. – 44% of label claim for Hydromax was found. See my Facebook as well.

From there word spread to the retailer Natural Body, who then put together the next post you can see below. From what we can understand the store is offering all customers that purchased any of Prime’s products, not just Intra-MD EAA+, “credits for exchanges or even refunds”. Natural Body also states that does apply to purchases made both online through its website and in store.

The last bit of the story we’d like to touch on is where PJ Braun comes in. The Blackstone Labs president went live on Facebook late yesterday going over quite a few things in the almost five minute video. The most interesting part for Prime or Intra-MD EAA+ fans though comes at the beginning where Braun says “from what I understand, the owners of Prime have said that they are issuing a full recall on that product.”
