Best Overall Intra-Workout Supplement?

[nrut88]

So I ordered some purple wraath a few days ago and will be taking it for the first time today..

Do I still need to use my NO pre-workout (black powder) or is purple wraath enough?? I'm pretty excited to take it considering all the great reviews I've read..

Thanks guys.

[AlphaStyles]

I don't see a study for Purple Wraath, yet...


there are hundreds, if not thousands, of studies on eaa and/or bcaa showing how effective they are, doing a study on a specific product is for marketing purposes ;)

lol, I know right? brb taking anabolic halo to university's lab to run scholarly journal worthy studies

[AlphaStyles]

I ended up half-dosing the last few scoops of my last tub in order to stretch it out a bit longer. I still love it.

Whether you use half the dose or the full amount, IntraBolic is King in my eyes.

wish i could get into it, anything with beta alanine in it drives me up the wall making my palms and bottom of my feet itch. most annoying side effect ever

[naturalguy]

Definitely going to go with Intra-Aid by Universal.

We are now shipping the new flavor Intra-Aid Citrus Burst!

[superman1_forev]

absolutely, thanks for spreading the word :) we also have free samples for those who dare not believe you :D
yes, it would be great for either of you. you take it during the workout.

I am digging the lemonade as well. the sample packets are lemonade


OK, cool! will one scoop be sufficient during workout or 2? I plan on drinking whey before I workout, which also has aminos in it?

[CONTROLLED LABS]

Hey I always wondered something...
How come Purple Wraath doesnt have any carbs in it?

btw-just tried the lemondade flavor...ive found my new fav
we fomrulated it to be carb free since carbs can, easily and cheaply, be added

yes, take the preworkout product as well.

save the whey for post. 2 scoops intra is what most people find best.

I've tried both PW & Intrabolic and I feel the Intrabolic is much better. Just look at the ingredients on both labels and decide for yourself. I'm not saying PW is a bad product just that I personally like Intrabolic better. The citrus ice tastes pretty good and it has helped a bunch with my endurance. Just ordered some of the apple to try.

Thank you for your feedback, many who use IntrAbolic never go back to what they were using, and with the 'buy 2 get 1 free' deal right now, you can get 3 - 6 months of product for less than $70 bucks.

Great feedback, let us know what you think about the apple flavor. FYI, there is another new flavor of IntrAbolic in the works. :)

I've recently got in my buy 2 apples get 1 citrus ice free in the mail and to be honest with my first try the apple was drinkable but not very good. I love the citrus ice. Overall it's a great product though and to me taste comes 2nd.

Thanks for the feedback. What we sometimes find with the flavors is, almost everybody really like the citrus, right from the start and the people who don't like the apple right from the start, grow to really like it with continued use. With the apple in particular, makes sure the water is ICE cold. Once you start using IntrAbolic the way most people do... every workout, year round :) beleeve me, you want to have both flavors so you can alternate

hmm...interesting thread so far....http://www.blog-mania.org/blog/t/R.jpg

No this thread isn't interesting. It's pathetic and laughable and should be closed.

Seriously? If this thread was closed companies would have to promote their products in the company promo section and head to the review section to "appreciate" the feedback that someone is giving them.

Neither of those things belong in this thread.

You're doing it wrong. Just say "Inhibit-E" and ask people how they're enjoying it etc.

I like this section. Good for new comers. When I first started surfing these forums looking at supplements, I spent a lot of time in supplement wars. Answered a lot of my questions and put me in the right direction.

It would be decent if between every "I liked this product" post a company rep didn't have to thank the person for their feedback. This is not a thread for thanking people for their feedback. There is a nice review section where people can post up their thoughts and company reps can appreciate it all day long.

It's not necessary here and clutters up the thread.

Doesn't seem desperate, he's just stating that there are studies confirming the effectiveness of Amino Acids both essential and branched chained. But hey even if he did you can't fault him for pushing a product, plus he's helped answer questions.

can you vouch for it at all?

[CONTROLLED LABS]

Desperate for sales are we?

we all know that bcaa/eaa are effective. simple as that.


I didnt say there was anything wrong with running a trial to prove effectiveness, but its used to increase sales on something as well studied as amino acids. again, nothing wrong with that at all, but it wouldnt be a reason for me to buy a product that is already proven effective.

There are not hundreds or thousands of studies. There are hardly any that are relevant in a bbing context. And it is still highly debatable whether they will give you more muscle in the long run, compared to intact protein powders etc.

You pretty much say there was no need for the study because we know they're effective. Which, like GeneGnomeX said, we don't in the long run. The study helped to try to prove they are effective for bber's. I understand they want sales in the long run, who doesn't, but to say it's purely for marketing is ridiculous.

[jvaughan08]

haha man everyone is ripping on the controlled labs guy and i was coming on here to say i have used purple wrath for a week and loved it. It has great amino acids, and lots of L-Leucine to help with protein synthesis. everyone can say what they want about studies, everyday a new groundbreaking study comes out that undermines the previous days ground breaking study so. I don't know everything that works legitimately, but purple wrath has been effective for me. tastes good too.

So far i'm on my first "cycle" with IntraBolic. It works really well but it's pretty pricey.

I love it though.

Ya man you got a good point, I know i need to use it longer to really grasp it's benefits, but I just noticed i have more stamina and energy to get up that last rep. I used it without using a pre workout supp so i could really see if it helps and i feel it did, now when i stack it with an pre workout supp i have so much energy and focus.

[TNote]

, and lots of L-Leucine to help with protein synthesis

How much Leucine is in it? :confused:

It's a prop. blend. How do you know?

edit - I would say the same about Intra-Aid

[KJR246]

I'll put my vote in for Intra-Aid. I've been having some great workouts since I started using it, and it's feking delicious.

[touchofevil04]

IMO Intrabolic, you get a better idea of whats in it grams wise since they tell you on the label Beta-Alanine 3.2 grams and L-Leucine 5 grams plus the remainder of each blend in it.
It works very well for muscle fatigue during intense lifting and overall energy that last my entire workout.
To me intrabolic is just a very tough product to beat. Been on it for about 5-6 weeks now and love it more and more each workout.

[whoismikeford]

the best overall intra-workout supplement has got to be.... a jug of water, alls these intra workout drinks claim is endurance, energy, focus, well most of them have the same exact ingredients in preworkout supps, which claim the same thing, so why waste your money? so you can sip ur fruity drink and tell yourself that ur an animal and can lift weights all day? ehh its called the BRAIN, the mental factor, not a magic drink that makes u a weightlifting freak

Would mixing glycer grow and purplewrath ina shaker and having that intrawork out be ok- also would the taste mix well??

I beta tested the Carb max and it was awesome...That sounds like a bunch of good combos man. Is this promo helping Intra-Aid pick up steam?

Really, try it with Citrus Burst Intra-Aid. What I did was 1/2 CARB Max + 1 full scoop of Intra-Aid + 23-25 oz of water. With Citrus Burst, you need a little water to hit the sweet spot than with Blue Raz. Ice cold. This drink is a treat.

Im getting off SIZEON in a couple months and cycling off creatine sups for a while.... then going back on with possible green mag ( possibly take the full CL stack)


any help on the dosage amount, time of use, and effectiveness of any intra workout product would be great ..

i used a scoop of purple wraath (grape) with lemon size-on intraworkout for a month last summer and loved it, the taste was better than either of them alone in my opinion to, i'd mix it like 45min-an hour before i went to the gym and leave it in the freeze till i left, sooo goood

The ultimate intra workout drink is :

Vitargo (not that kind of expensive waxy maize)
Peptopro (by DSM)
Potassium bicarbonate

Work better and cost less than any of your magic supplements.

[BrandonSch]

Intrabolic gets my vote x10.... Tastes great and easy on the stomach as well.

PW and Xtend cannot compare to Intrabolic when it comes to intra-workout in my opinion...

Going to try Intra-Aid for a bottle and see how that goes.

Thanks! I'll stick with the PW!
smart man, purple wraath is the #1 selling intraworkout product on bb.com :)

http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/goalintraworkout.htm

I know little to nothing about intra workout supplements.

I take amino 2222 tabs a couple times a day but i dont feel like im getting the recovery i should and I want the immune system support..

I take SIZEON intra workout already so i dont know if i can just mix PW or intra aid or something with that? I honestly dont know..... Im getting off SIZEON in a couple months and cycling off creatine sups for a while.... then going back on with possible green mag ( possibly take the full CL stack)


any help on the dosage amount, time of use, and effectiveness of any intra workout product would be great ..
sire, sizeon and purple wraath would mix very well as an intraworkout drink

i used a scoop of purple wraath (grape) with lemon size-on intraworkout for a month last summer and loved it, the taste was better than either of them alone in my opinion to, i'd mix it like 45min-an hour before i went to the gym and leave it in the freeze till i left, sooo goood
glad to hear you loved them

Intrabolic and PW are two very good products for intra workout. Ethier one you can't really go wrong. Intra-Aid fits here as well but i tend to hate all the blends and i would at least wanna know how much BA they are giving per serving. Even still it should fit the bill very nicely.

I know Intrabolic states that you should only take 1 scoop, but could you take two?

Likewise, Intra-Aid also only says 1 scoop, but I've read that Intra-Aid can be taken as 2 scoops, am I correct?

Besides the Beta-Alanine content that Im getting from pre-workout and intra-workout, what decides the basis of only being able to take 1 scoops of Intrabolic.... and Intra-Aid if it is only 1 scoop?

I wouldn't recommend more than 1 scoop of either. They seem to be formulated to where one scoop = one serving = all you need.

I personally take 1.5 scoops of Intrabolic. I assume that it's formulated for the average 180-200 lb person, so someone like me who weighs in at 250 probably needs more. Never had a problem with taking 1.5 scoops.

[BrandonSch]

Even though your only suppose to take 1 scoop of both Intrabolic and Intra-Aid, what is the determinate for this statetment? Is it the Beta-Alanine? Alone? Or is it more than that?

Aside from the standard amino's, partially hydrolyzed proteins, and the electrolyte complex's in both, what else would determine the maximum intake?

Keep in mind everyone is different and there really is no "one size fits all" dose when it comes to supplements however the general recommendation of once scoop of Intra-aid will provide you with 8 grms of high quality hydro whey, 10 grms of FFAA's and 10 grms of carbs. You really don't need more than that during the workout. More is not always better. Post workout you can take more amino's, hydro whey and carbs, that is where a product like Torrent comes in and really covers you.

Do you believe protein is useful or a hinderance during an intra workout? I've read through several threads on this forum and it seems folks are pretty split up on the matter, with what seems to me more siding with NO PROTEIN during a workout.

Personally, I've been incorporating a reasonable amount of protein (36g) into my intra concoction, finding that sipping on it when I feel my reserves are low helps give a nudge of energy and motivation (not crackwhore stim-style) to do more supersets of lifting and more cardio when I might otherwise just quit.

Universal's Intra-Aid among others use protein, CL Purple Wraath among others don't. I like the price of those that don't contain protein, so in the future maybe I'll continue to do what I do now: mix in my 100% whey with something like Wraath or Xtend.

I think that's too much protein intra-workout to be honest. A smaller amount of protein would probably be beneficial but I think that much would probably end up being worse for you than not taking any protein intra...Just my take. I wouldn't recommend more than 10 grams of protein (if that) during your workout.

Below is a post I made in that thread, there are many more. For anyone who is aware of the research looking at net muscle protein synthesis when amino-acids are taken pre/intr/postWO, there should be no controversy, as the outcomes are clear.

10-15g of protein/EAAs is PLENTY intraWO and actually reaches the ceiling effect on protein synthesis per sitting.


Yeah pretty much what I've been saying. The physical forces/weights are still acting on our muscles fibers, damaging them and stimulating the remodeling process.

We also know there is a hormonal aspect to muscle breakdown i.e. cortisol and while cortisol is often looked at in black and white, which it shouldn't be, decreasing it during exercise is a good thing, intraWO/preWO amino-acids can do this, via stimulating insulin which in turn suppresses cortisol.

And while again yes, the damage brought about from exercise is obviously a good thing and does stimulate the remodeling(building) process, the damage done must be repaired first before you can build and that's largely where amino-acids come in.

And lastly and most importantly, as I've mentioned before, the most important question is, do intraWO/preWO amino-acids increase net muscle protein synthesis, which is the big picture end result we are concerned with? And the answer is yes. So any minute negative that they could have on limiting the inflammation process which does play a role in stimulating the remodeling process, it's being overwhelmed by the more positive impact the AA's are having, resulting in net protein synthesis.

how did you like purple wraath?

[naturalguy]

Universal's Intra-Aid among others use protein, CL Purple Wraath among others don't.

Keep in mind that is not regular protein that we use in Intra-Aid - it is hydrolyzed whey which requires little to no digestion and gets absorbed quicker than FFAA's. There is a big difference between the protein in Intra-Aid and the protein in a whey shake as far as digestion/absorption goes. You don't need a whole lot of it intra-workout since it is so efficient.

[zmboda]

Well, I just ordered my PW and can't wait to get started. I actually had a really hard time deciding between Xtend, PW, and Intrabolic. I surely won't forget about the Xtend or Intrabolic. After the PW is finished, I will be most likely trying one of these two out! Thanks for all the advice everyone!

Thanks naturalguy. I suppose on the opposite side of the spectrum, a slow release protein or hybrid whey/casein would not be good intra WO?

Like some others on this thread mentioned, I too was torn between which intra product to get. Narrowed it down to Xtend and Purple Wraath -- bought PW today. I'm looking forward to putting it to use and perhaps mixing in a half serving of whey.

Correct. Slow releasing/digesting proteins are very effective however intra-workout is not on optimal time for them.

Yes the citrus flavor is the much more popular out of the two. But there are a few things you can do to greatly improve the flavor of the apple if you don't care for it.

One, make sure the water is ice cold(16-20oz), two add some lemon juice. Please keep me posted via PM and we will dial it in for you.

I am yet to get the new Citrus flavour over here, but the same was true with the old citrus flavour, maximum amount of ice and cold water and it would taste fantastic.

If you are going to buy into the intra-workout hype then Size-On is the only product I'm going to recommend. I'll explain and review Size On vs. Purple Wraath.

Theres a reason why Gatorade and other sports drinks are > 40g carbs a bottle is because YOU NEED THEM during strenuous exercise. Do yourself a favor and stick to what's been proven and works. I believe carbs is what will set good intra supps apart from the rest.

Size On

Pros - Fantastic carb formula. Yup, that's it, it makes that much of a difference IMO. Sustained energy levels is all I ask for. I got some awesome workouts w/ this stuff.

Con - 50 servings - stuff goes fast, will be costly in the long run.
Con - Not enough studies/evidence backing creatine-gluconate yet.

Purple Wraath

Pro - Formula is on point.
Pro - 90 servings - great value.

Con - No carbs. Yes, I can add a scoop of WM but then why am I'm supplementing the supplement? If i'm dishing out $50, it should already have everything I need.
Con - the taste. personally, the stuff taste like ass IMO. I wouldn't mind if it did what I wanted but unfortunately it doesn't. moreover, it has upset my stomach a few times and ruined my workout, this sucks, esp on my leg days.

Unfortunately, I feel like im out $50 due to PW. But thats my fault for not putting more thought/research before purchasing. On a brighter/unrelated note, WF is a superior N.O. product and they got that one right, lol.

Is the CL labs rep here? Can I trade you my tub of PW for WF? ;)

Exactly, they are meant to be taken during your workout but one doesn't really replace the other. Both are great products, and both have their place (and one is more suited for bulking and the other cutting imo)

[jgee]

I've become a believer in the benefits of intra-workout supplements. I believe replenishing lost nutrients during a grueling workout enables me to push harder and longer than I might normally be able to go. Last weekend I tried Purple Wraath and had a better-than-usual workout. For last night's workout (legs), I sipped on a scoop of SizeOn and had one MONSTER of a workout, going far beyond what I'd normally do for legs and at the end when I could hardly stand, I pushed on for a 13 minute HIIT cardio on the treadmill. Since last night I've seemed to be recouping very well...much better than I expected. I am also using 10 - 15 grams of MHP Glutamine-SR along with a lot of protein, both of which I feel contribute greatly to muscle repair.

I'll be comparing PW and SizeOn but I agree with others that they are different beasts and probably can't be effectively compared with each other. I like CL's comment about stacking them together -- I'll have to try that for sure!

I gotta say, outside of mixing Xtend with Body Octane, I really enjoyed my serving of Intra-Aid...Can't wait to see what a full tub will do for me.

My new job requires a lot more walking/energy expenditure than my old one, so my workouts have become really stale, so I need something to help boost the endurance.

Last night my workout was awesome.

Xtend (any flavor other than lemon)
IntrAbolic Green Apple

SizeOn Lemon
SizeOn Berry
IntrAbolic Citrus Ice
Purple Wraath Lemonade
Intra-Aid Blue Raspberry

Xtend (lemon)

What is your favorite flavor of sizeon?

[MrAnaconda]

IMO nothing compares to PW. Great stuff, good price, for a ton of product.

[Viper504]

PW( 2 scoops) was pretty good and pretty cheap
Xtend(3 scoops) also very good a little better then PW
Intrabolic(1scoop) one of the best and taste really good pretty expensive

out of those 3 Xtend seems to be the best value but 3 scoops of PW might just be as good if money is no object go with intrabolic(citrus)

got intra-aid coming in the mail will see how that is

[YanksKing]

is mass xxplosion by nutrex an intra-aid? if so any thoughts?

Yes, MX by nutrex is an intra-aid, and a very good one for that matter. Doesn't get any hype around here probably because it is expensive... I bought 3 tubs of it when it was on wc, and i love them. I think the profile is great, 10g protein, 30g WM, BCAA's 6g which is probably 211 style, etc etc... I love the stuff, and have the grape flavor, just wouldn't buy it without a deal, because again it is $$$

[ATHLETIC EDGE NUTRITION]

Blue Raspberry?


Lol, um....can't say just yet.

It's our best, that's all I can say :)


im gonna have to give intrabolic the edge over purple wraath sorry controlled labs. i got love for you guys though.

Be on the look out for the new flavor :)

[Adjusting]

It's our best, that's all I can say :)

Agreed.

[Henweee]

Been taking Universal's Intra-aid for a week. This stuff is great. It gives more focus and endurance. And while i'm sipping on it during workout i don't get tired. This stuff gives me better focus than my NO supp. I feel like a beast. I highly recommend this.

Intra aid taste great and i agree it works pretty good

[mjwarburton]

I hopped on the Buy2Get1 on the Inra-Aid. Got the Blue Raspberry. It's pretty good supplement I like it a lot. Have yet to try IA. Missed the Buy2Get1 by just a bit. I love the endurance it gives me. I like it quite a bit. Don't know if I'll be able to afford it at normal prices. The intra category is quite expensive tho you get what you pay for. Hard to talk the wife into a pre, intra, post, and protein, creatine, bulk bcaa etc. You gotta pick and choose your essentials.

If I had to choose, I personally would choose an intra-workout supplement like IntrAbolic over a postWO and bulk BCAA supplement any day. Pre-workout supplements are really different in their formulations, also usually much cheaper to make and the caffeine/stim/NO aspect of them can't be replaced by an intraWO supplement.

But the benefits on muscle building and decreasing muscle breakdown with an intraWO peptide/EAA supplement make them highly beneficial. Creatine can't be replaced agreed, though you can often get enough from your preWO supplement, if you are trying to consolidate. Protein is a staple and can easily be used postWO.

These are just my opinions and we make a preWO supplement and possibly will a postWO supplement down the line. Eitherway, my opinion won't change on the importance of intraWO supplementation as a core staple and more important than certain other categories and you don't burn out on them, like you often do with high stim/caffeine, pre-workout supplements.

You never know, nutrient timing is our company tagline! ;) Eitherway, I still will always find intraWO supplementation much more beneficial and useful of a tool than postWO supplements.

[Striver]

You know what wouls be cool? A pre-sleep supplement seeing as apparently thats when muscle recovery primarily takes place :D

I can see it now, BCAAs, sleep enhancers and AEN being AEN, something never seen before that produces amazing results.

Hey, you never know and yes, while much of the repair/recovery occurs during rest, nutrient timing is predominantly about taking advantage of the exercise stimulus, be it greatly increased blood flow to muscles, increased amino-acid delivery to muscle, further increasing many of the enzymes and systems involved in the protein synthesis response(i.e. amino-acids/insulin and exercise being synergistic),mTOR, cellular sensitivity and a hell of alot more. Basically intra-workout nutrient timing will potentiate the protein synthesis stimulus. The greater the stimulus, the more muscle you will build. So while pre-sleep supplementation is solid, it won't hold a candle to the exercise nutrient timing windows.

Translation, IntrAbolic ;)

Well, I tried my citrus intrabolic tonight. I must say that it did help me throughout my workout, but I was not too fond of the flavor. AEN reps, any advice? I like it about the same as CL Purple Wraath. Great job, both companies!

Make sure the water is cold, throw in a couple of ice cubes if possible. How much water did you mix it with? The citrus is usually very well liked.

I used around 20oz. I'll be sure to use ice cubes Thursday. It helped a lot with the taste of PW. Still and awesome product! I should have just man'd up and not complained about the taste, lol. Thanks!

Im surprised you didnt like the citrus. I find that one to be very decent as far as taste goes. Have you tried the apple yet? Im not as big a fan of the apple as the citrus but some prefer it instead. I think they are comming out with a new flavor soon too which im excited about. The bottom line for me is i like the citrus, the apple is okay but both formulas yield wonderful results.

On that note humans dont as much bodily repair during sleep as was once thought. Sleep is mostly for letting your brain rest.

I purchased the grape flavor, for the small container. I really like it, so next time around I'll try the lemonade.

I think I'll keep both PW and IntrAbolic around, they help a great deal with my workouts. I'm just experimenting with intra supps now. Should I try Xtend?

Lemonade PW all the way, been using it for almost two weeks now and has definitely worked. I'm currently cutting on a low carb diet, and I'm still seeing increases in weight and reps during my workouts! Also, I'm severely lactose intolerant and allergic to dairy, so I can't take in any form of whey whatsoever...believe me I've tried them all.

Understood, out of interest, have you ever tried an extensively hydrolyzed protein like we use in IntrAbolic or the protein product peptopro? From a lactose perspective, the whey we use is considered lactose free and many lactose intolerant people use it.

awesome to hear that it working well for you, your lactose issue makes PW even more important for someone in your position.

for protein you may want to look into egg white powder

Just finished my tub of green apple Intrabolic yesterday. Luckily I received my tub of Purple Wraath today in the mail... I definately enjoy the intrabolic and am excited to try the purple wraath tonight... When the Intrabolic was on sale on Wheycheap, I should have stocked up but felt bad since I just purchased the PW a few days before.. I will miss the taste of the ICE COLD green apple though, man I loved that taste.

2 flavors gives a nice variation if you flip back and forth between them. its also much harder to flavor an EAA product than a BCAA product due to the raw material taste

ive been deciding between purple wraath and intrabolic for a while now. I'm currently taking controlled labs green mag and i love it so i knew that purple wraath would be good as well..but i picked up IntrAbolic and let me tell you guys. This stuff is amazing. After an intense workout, I am usually sore. but after taking intrabolic i had no soreness anywhere.
Some of the cons are the price and taste. I paid 40 dollars for it and it only lasts 20 days. Also the citrus flavor is pretty bad. I just add orange crystal light which makes it taste tons better.

what is the best tasting intrabolic flavor?

[ATHLETIC EDGE NUTRITION]

what is the best tasting intrabolic flavor?

This :)


Wild Berry Punch is the new flavor of IntrAbolic and Sebastian had said he believed it was their best flavor yet. I got mine in yesterday and got to give it a whirl today.

I must agree with him...I've been a big fan of the other two flavors but I believe this one blows the others away.

It tastes...familiar, but I can't place what I believe it tastes like. Very good, nearly makes the other two obsolete (which sucks because I have 4 more tubs in stock of the old flavors).

If you haven't tried IntrAbolic, I would urge you to start with the Wild Berry Punch flavor, and I also urge you to quit wondering which is the best, because AEN just put their foot down.

10/10



I broke open my new tub of Wild Berry IntrAbolic for this morning's workout. Here's my first impressions:

Aroma (Dry): 10/10 The dry mix had a mild berry aroma. Very pleasant, not overpowering at all. Smelled slightly sweet. Nice first impression.

I put two scoops (equivalent of one of the "old" scoops) into my Blender Bottle and took off for the gym. Added 20 oz of cool water (from the water fountain) and shook it for about 30 seconds.

Mixability: 9.5/10 Just as good as the apple IntrAbolic. 90% mixed imediately, with just a few floaties and some powder stuck to the bottom. It all dissolved within a minute or so, and a few more shakes.

Aroma (mixed): 10/10 Unlike some other intra-workout mixed, this didn't bowl me over screaming it's flavor. In fact, I really didn't notice it while I was drinking it. I see this as a positive, and rated accordingly.

Taste: 11/10!!! This is by far the best tasting workout drink I've had!!! Nice berry flavor, not overpowering, just right. Doesn't taste highly artificial either, like most of the competitors. I've been a big apple fan (haven't tried citrus), but this Wild Berry is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME tasting. My only negative is the slight sucralose aftertaste. This is common with most workout products, so I didn't even factor it into my rating. I wish there was a way to reduce the amount of artificial sweeteners used in workout products, and still keep the calories down.

Effect: 11/10 IntrAbolic is the most effective IWO product out there, putting Xtend and PW to shame, IMHO. But then, we all know that. :)

Overall: 11/10 AEN's got a winner here. I'm gonna be ordering at least a couple more tubs, so I can intersperse it with my store of apple tubs.

Thanks AEN. Nice job!!!

Intrabolic is good stuff. I got 5 of the apple flavor tubs off wheycheap, which should easily last me all summer. I take it both during cardio and weightlifting, and although the flavor isn't great, it's definitely not bad either. Just takes a little to get used to.

Also great stacked with green magnitude.

Let us know how it goes! I am sure you'll notice it's benefits... and let us know what you think of the Wild Berry flavor...it's absolute delish...

Also, due to the fact that IntrAbolic is dosed 2-3x higher in amino-acids than other products

Not Intra-Aid.

Perhaps, perhaps not. But it's true enough, eh?

One scoop of Intra-Aid has 8g of aminos from hydrolyzed protein and additional ffEAAs on top of that.

you asking me if it's true? If so...I will answer with perhaps, perhaps not...

Edit: Nice Edit..;)

[Universal Rep]

you asking me if it's true? If so...I will answer with perhaps, perhaps not...2 key aminos are unknown in Intra-Aid...

Edit: Nice Edit..;)

Let's compare then, shall we? How many grams of aminos in a "serving" of yours? And is that 2-3x greater than a serving of Intra-Aid?

We use prop blends for the ffEAAs... I see you do too?

Im getting My ICE in a couple of days and will be putting up a review

I will not...as I don't want this to become another IntrAbolic vs. Intra-Aid "fight" or comparison or what not. It's not my style..and plus, IMO, the purpose of this thread is mainly not for us (reps), but for feedback from consumers and their thoughts on the products in the INTRAworkout category...

if we would to continue this would end up basically "nowhere" and leaving the consumer/members :confused: as to why we initially started this in the first place...

I was clarifying a post for the sake of interested members and you came in with the "lulz"... Now you won't answer the question? Lulz.

It's not a fight. Just reps clarifying their products so that others can make informed decisions. Isn't this what it's about?

Good to see this thread got it's groove back.

Intrabolic is good stuff. I got 5 of the apple flavor tubs off wheycheap, which should easily last me all summer. I take it both during cardio and weightlifting, and although the flavor isn't great, it's definitely not bad either. Just takes a little to get used to.

Also great stacked with green magnitude.

I did the same and got the apple of wheycheap a month or 2 back. I'd have to say the flavor isn't the greatest, but there are a few ways to make it taste pretty damn good. What i do- buy an 8-pack of 20 oz. Lemon lime powerades for like 5 bucks. Pour half a powerade (about 10 oz.) into a bottle and add some ice. Shake in the intrabolic and let it dissolve, for some reason it takes a good 3 or 4 minutes to fully dissolve. Then you're good to go and it tastes good as hell

So whats the verdict on ICE??

Have you tried the citrus or samples of the new wild berry yet?

Hey, Controlled Labs reps WTF happened to Purple Wraath? My boy bought a tub and some Whiteflood off this website(I was hyped to try some out also) and got an e-mail sayin PW was pulled off the shelvs? I don't see anything about it on a google search...whats up?

nope not all. still available in every country, including US and Canada (I assume this is where your friend is from). please PM me the site and send the email if possible so I can look into it to find out why wrong info is being disseminated.

I have only really taken aminos intra-workout, which have been pretty amazing..looking into more intra-workout products recently, because I just want that extra edge.

[BioStrong]

Besides bulk BCAAs I've only really used one intraworkout product, intrabolic. I've really enjoyed it and it has become a staple of mine. I LOVE the green apple flavor and can't wait to try out the new wild berry.

Ive personally tried Intrabolic, Intraid and PW and they are all great supps...Currently I am on Intraid becasue I got a great deal on the AWO stack (Storm, Intraid and Torrent all for $99 cant beat that) If I had to pick the best I'd go with Intraid. I am really impressed with Universal and thats saying something because I really like PW. Universal has been around a long time and its a no nonsense type of company. Honestly there isnt much of a differnce for me between all three as far as how I feel during the workout. They all get the job done. So it comes to whats most economical. If your only buying an intra-workout supp then PW is cheapest but like I said they are all great.
