Got a GM lemonade sample yesterday curtosity of CL

It tasted amazing I definenitly know what flavor im ordering next after i finish my lasting tub of apple :-)

Another great job CL, cant wait to try Golden FinisH!!!

[pu12en12g]

Taste- 10/10
CL was kind enough to give me both a sample of Green Apple as well as the Electric Lemonade. Both are amazing. I have ordered the Green Apple 418g size before and the taste never got stale or boring. I still like the Green Apple more than the Lemonade but, maybe that is just because it is an exciting flavor to have for a supplement, can't go wrong with either though. It might sound weird, most will agree with me but, GM (both flavors) taste almost like candy it's amazing.

Mixability- 10/10
One packet with 8oz of water, mixed for a couple of seconds produced not 1 clump. I was very impressed by this because I have had samples from other companies before that came below quality standard and these samples were great. Nothing settles to the bottom, it is consistent tasting throughout.

Overall- 10/10
It is only fair that GM is given a 10/10. With the samples alone I can only rate the taste and mixability because after 1 packet you won't feel effects but, like I said before I have tried GM before. I made awesome strides from it in terms of strength and size. The price cannot be beat. I think it would be a great idea for CL to make a GM tub split in half. 1/2 being the Green Apple and 1/2 being the Lemonade since both are very good and it must be hard to choose.

I usually don't post very much but I felt the need to in this case because of how impressed I am with these 2 products. I haven't used tons of products but I have used some popular ones like No-xplode, Superpump250, Cellmass, NOZ full throttle.

Lets start with Green Magnitude
The taste is fantastic, like everyone says it pretty much tastes like candy. I've tried both sour apple and electric lemon and you can't go wrong with both. Compared to cell mass what I was using before, pricewise green mag is the clear and obvious winner. Effectiveness is great my muscles are hard and full, my strength has also increased quite a bit.
Overall I can pretty much say I've found my creatine of choice, I have no need to try different products.

[pu12en12g]

I think I have version 1 because the taste is very bitter, and the aftertaste is even worse. However that doesn't bother me as much because this product is very effective. NO xplode was very dissapointing for me because it felt great for about 3-5 days but then it began to ware off very quickly. Superpump 250 was fantastic but a bit pricy compared to White Flood. White Flood however gives you great energy, very good pumps, great focus, and it's cheap compared to the others. Again, I've found my pre workout supplement of choice.

I just ordered Purple Wraath and I cannot wait to try it. Overall I just have to say great work Controlled Labs you have impressed me very much with your quality products at a great price. This time last year I had not even heard of you guys, but I'm glad I found these great products. Keep up the good work!

[pu12en12g]

1/2 scoop

Taste: 10/10
Amazing, not to strong but diluted since there was so much water but i can tell its going to taste amazing with one scoop!

Energy: 10/10
Amazing, half scoop and it still worked great. No jitters, i was able to focus and i took it at 11:45a.m and usually when i get home from school (4p.m) i crash and fall asleep but not with the white flood!

Vascularity: N/A
Not availible ATM because it was cold out today so my veins were hiding but ill update it tommorow when im inside all day lol.

Focus: 8/10
Was pretty focused with school work and football

Endurance: 9/10
Half scoop taken with some PW is awesome still got winded around the same time as usual was just able to go a little bit more.

Great stuff guys!! I Highly reccommed it, ill be back tommorow to update it and tell you guys how a real workout went.

**Update**
Last i went to go play handball and usually ill be tired after 2 games and loose intrest but not yesterday, felt like i could play all day! and afterwards i came homw and had to clean out my weight room/hangout room/porch lol and had all this energy. It was pretty cool. Cant wait to try it today for my workout!

1 scoop

Review

Mixability: 10/10
Mixed almost instantly with a full scoop, was very impressed!

Energy: 10/10
Very very good energy, no jiters and had an awesome workout, So much focus i never wanted to stop working out! If it was for my arms craping out on me i would have kept going!

Taste: 10/10
by far one of the best tasting supps ive ever had, I actually just want to drink cause it taste good. No bad aftertaste, not to strong but a nice lemonade taste

Vascularity: 9/10
Vascularity was nice, Though it wasnt anything freakish, maybe because it was cold outside but i defnitly saw some nice vascularity regardless the tempature.

Endurance: 9.5/10
Endurance was great, i was able to workout and then play football without feeling that tired at all. Though i think i messed some tendons up from running in skate shoes for a couple weeks so i did feel that pain though no sore pains at all.

Focus: 10/10
Focus was awesome! Ive never been so focused and motivated to workout before! Its like i juist wanted to get back into the workout when ever i would get some water i hated it because i wasnt in the zone! Very nice!


Overall: 9.8/10

Very nice and i cant wait to see how this effects my strength gains and see if it can help me reach a 300lb bench before april!

[pu12en12g]

I've been taking this product occasionally for the past month. You get 90 capsules per bottle which, at the maximum dosage of 3 caps, is good for 30 days, although I wouldn't recommend taking this for 30 days straight. I'd say it's more something to be savoured and you would probably become unresponsive to the stimulants anyway if you did. Taking the maximum dosage of 3 caps once every 3 or 4 days yields a life of about 3 and half months, pretty good value for a product which costs less than $30.

I started out taking 1 capsule, as instructed by the label, and could feel some effects even at this low dosage. I then ramped up to 2 and 3 cap dosages. But I have since concluded that the 3rd cap is unnecessary, for me, and now I only take 2 caps per dosage. I originally intended to write this review when I finished the bottle, but at this rate one bottle may last me more than 5 months.

All my compound lifts have been steadily increasing as of late. I like to credit myself for this but who knows which factors have contributed. I haven't once lost motivation, energy or focus during a workout when I have taken YN2 prior. Not even during gruelling 2+ hour late night workouts. I am attracted to YN2 by the fact that it is caffeine free, so I've been taking it without worry that it could keep me awake in bed.

On a 2 capsule dosage I have noticed some positive mood enhancements. Talkativeness has increased. Words seem to flow more freely, not always a good thing. I have had a greatly increased sense of Dutch courage on a few occasions, dancing and singing karaoke where I wouldn't have before. I have also experienced effects of increased alertness, mellowness and general content. I may have had a bit of appetite suppression which I expected due to the synephrine. And also I started to sweat after one or two of the doses, but this may have been caused by something I ate.

In conclusion, I am enjoying using this product and I recommend it to stim junkies and those who seek a caffeine free stimulant. Be sure to consume plenty of water with YN2 as with any product of this nature.

[pu12en12g]

Orange Triad: The pills are easy to swallow due to the coating. They also smell wonderful and taste pretty good too. I like the fact that I can split up the doses (2-2-2). Also, my pee was normal! Most importantly, I no longer feel sluggish or unadequately hydrated. I feel really good on this product. I don't know if it has something to do with dosing or the digestive enzymes, but this product rocks.

[pu12en12g]

ok so i just got back.....and id like to say that im only really gonna rate the PW on taste bc its not the kinda supp that u get full effects on one serving or from one workout....

7.5/10
Ok ima keep this brutally honest...ive used two tubs of the v1 taste and one of the v2, and for some reason i like v2 more than this v3 sample. now when i say that it doesnt mean that i think this tastes horrible or bad...id still drink it and have no problem. it still has that pw tang taste that i kinda like lol. kinda refreshing and i mixed half of it with over a liter of water and size-on lemon and it was great.

ok so while i mite not have loved the taste ill still be using it again sometime bc i loved that purple drink and its a great value at even three servings a day lasts me 1.5 to two months.

the only bad thing......now i want some NOW!!!

[pu12en12g]

dang soooo im srry i took so long to throw up another review...exam week is my number 1 priority rite now...and i just finished the last scoop of my wf today.... ......ok and i mixed half the lemonade GM packet with that scoop pre wo

GM Lemonade Impression #1

Taste:
well im not gonna rate it on a scale due to it being mixed with WF, but ill say the mixture tasted better than WF in and of itself. I personally dont like lemonade flavors that much, but this was pretty good, tomorrow since im out of WF ill do the rest of GM on its own.

Effects:
ok so its one WO and i doubt i could really gage effects that well and it could be placebo i guess. Basically ive had my carbs lowered and i had a hypertrophy leg day today....and the pump was insane

[pu12en12g]

Taste:7/10
In my opinion at first i didnt really like the taste, but i experimented wit water amount and it kinda grew on me. Not so much that i wanted to drink it but there is no reason that u should avoid this product bc of taste, there are MUCH worse things out there trust me.

Pump:7.5/10
Ok this is a little hard to judge bc most of the time on this i had size-on and X-factor with it. But from the first couple weeks before the x kicked in i was at two scoops and get a pretty good pump. i dont really need a supplement to give me a pump but this did add to it. i eventually dropped the dose to 1 scoop therefore i was totally using it to its full pump potential these last couple weeks. wen i use it again i will stack with GG and stay at one scoop(GG gives me mad pumps)

Focus and Energy:10/10
This is why i will buy this again. I only really needed 1 scoop to get an insane focus from this product. Idk exactly what ingrediant this was, but its not the caffeine bc it doesnt usually effect me too much. there was more of an energy rush(prob due to caffeine) at two scoops but i liked it much better just using one.

Value:10/10
Even for a small tub this is an insane value. Especially since i only needed 1 scoop to keep me happy...wit a big tub this would last forever for me

Overall:8.5/10
I thoroughly enjoyed using this and will def buy it again and stack it with GlycerGrow....good job CL and keep makin good products

[pu12en12g]

Energy

7/10

nEuphoria is stim free so don't expect that instant flood of energy that caffeine brings you. However I do notice that my mind is sharper and my thoughts flowed much quicker about an hour after taking nEuphoria.

Euphoria

9/10

To be honest I really did not expect much from this product. I was never one to buy into the whole using anything artificial to enhance your mood, and didn't think that these little pills could really do what they claimed...(no offense to CL, just in general I'm very skeptical about claims of mood enhancement). But WOW. This stuff is WORKS!

My first dose was one pill. I felt it about an hour afterward. The only way to describe the feeling is that it is about the same "good, euphoric" feeling that you get after a workout. Your thoughts flow nicely, you feel happy and good, and everything seems to just be better.

I like to take these before going out to social events because they make me "looser". A lot more comfortable, which in turn makes me act more confident and just be a lot more fun to be around.

Side Effects

7/10

I've gone through maybe 1/4th of my bottle of nEuphoria and one consistent "side effect" I've noticed is a slight feeling of depression the day after I use it.

I would liken it to how you feel the next day after you've been out drinking all night. I'm not sure if this is your body returning to homeostasis, or the fact that you felt so good the night before that what would usually be a "normal" day doesn't feel as good because you've just experienced that euphoria the night before.

Either way it's not a big deal and usually goes away within 8-12 hours.

I really like this product. It's not something I'd take everyday, but those times when I want a boost(date, party, etc.) it is really useful.

[pu12en12g]

I definitely give these product a thumbs up! The effects did vary from time to time. Usually, not much of a kick really, but more of a focus/feel good feeling. I reccomend this to any one interested, you won't be dissapointed. Thanks again CL. Can't wait to see your PWO formula!

it was G2. A definite improvement over 1, but I liked them both.

[pu12en12g]

Taste: 7/10- although it wasn't an awful taste, probably not something that I would drink for fun

Mixability: 10/10- I wish my protein mixed this easy!

Effectivness: 9/10- Best workout I have had in a while

Overall: 9/10- A truly great supplement. The only slight drawback was a nautious feeling I got about halfway through my workout. Other than that I would definitely recommend it

[pu12en12g]

WhiteFLOOD-
Like Most: The consistent energy. This is the only pre-workout where I received a consistent feeling of energy/focus with no crash midway through workout or within the last couple hours after the workout.

Like Least: For the older version?the clumping. Absolutely atrocious. However, for the newer version, it would probably be the taste because in efficiency, I found this product to work rather well. I even found that the taste actually woke me up for earlier workouts and I would be able to have a more focused/energized workout when I would have taken Ragnarok, or something similar in the mornings. But if I were to workout later in the day, I dreaded the taste. So this is going to be my pre-workout, morning supplement.

[pu12en12g]

Purple Wraath-
Liked Most:The energy mix. This is what got me over Xtend. I have tried both and I liked that PW had that "focus" type edge over Xtend. However, I felt as though aerobically Xtend had the days where it seemed to work better.

Liked Least: The specs/insoluble ingredients, however you cannot do anything about that. My view on the taste of PW is very similar to that of WF, as the taste is one that you need to get used to, and the taste itself seems to wake you up.

[pu12en12g]

GG-

Liked Most:Results. I have definitely have noticed that I have become bigger, the hypertrophy is evident in the size/stretch marks. I also enjoyed the being more vascular/pumps/energy.

Liked Least:Insolubility. I occasionally enjoyed downing that "sand" texture as that in itself seems to let me focus in on the task at hand. I know its time to work, type mentality. However, it tends to be inconvenient, and I noticed that there were many times where I was rushing around and forgot to take GG.

[pu12en12g]

This combination is amazing. My arms look so much fuller. GlycerGrow pumps are amazing. Who needs NO products (most of them don't even work for me)I'm not a big guy but when I do my upper body Skinny Bastards work I can't even close my arms they feel like they are 20 inches. When the goes away I am still pretty full. My arms look a lot bigger and so does my chest. This stuff is amazing THANK CL!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHO: Controlled Labs

WHAT: Green MAGnitude Sour Apple and Electric Lemonade

WHERE: http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/clabs/mag.html

MY REVIEW[/center]

Price: $14.99 for 40 servings if you weren't snoozing on the sale. Don't hate me because of my bargain hunting skills. I tested out a sample packet but also purchased a tub. Green MAG is on standby until I finish my SIZEON.


Taste: After reading the billion and a half reviews on Green MAG, I couldn't wait to taste this stuff. Sour Apple, c'mon, seriously, who wouldn't want to try that out? I don't know about you guys but when I think Sour Apple I think Jolly Rancher, so I kinda hyped it up all by myself.

I loaded my shaker cup w/ 10 oz of water and poured the contents in. First taste..... wow, I'm impressed, it IS good. Not so much the Jolly Rancher taste I was expecting but, c'mon, it's as close as you're going to get from a supplement, and it is still delicious. There is a very, very sublte aftertaste. Not quite as bad as with Purple WrAAth, though. Regardless, I wanted another serving of Green MAG afterwards, just for the taste alone.

Electric Lemonade is an excellent flavor as well. It's more refreshing than anything. But I'd have to give the edge to Sour Apple because, well, it's Sour Apple.

Mixability: Not an issue with Green MAG. Water first, scoop second, shake and consume.

Endurance: You mean something this delicious is actually going to help my workouts? YES! I noticed that I recovered from each set quickly and was able to move on with my workout. Since I was using Polquin's German Volume training workout, getting through all 10 sets of 10 is pretty damn important...and I did JUST that.

Overall: I'm rating GREEN MAG a fat TEN out of TEN. There is nothing that I can really complain about. Almost a month and a half worth of delicious creatine supplementation at $15, I'd be nitpicking if I complained. Controlled Labs has definitely put together a very SOLID product with Green MAG. I can rest assured now that I can push through every last set and after every workout, I'll be pissing excellence. Tank, thank you for the samples brother, much appreciated.

[pu12en12g]

Well I received two packets of sour apple green mag to use after glycergrow. Taste was great but very strong...I ended up mixing it with 20 ounces of water and it was delicious. I will probably end up buying some green magnitude because I love the taste!

Taste: 8/10
Mixing Ability: 7/10
Value: 7/10

Overall: 8/10

Good stuff!

[pu12en12g]

I received my sample in the mail of Electric Lemonade Flavor Green Mag. I have taken Green Mag in the past and gotten good results from it. Since this is a one dose sample, the review basically covers the taste as it is hard for me to review much more.

I decided to take my sample half pre-workout and half post-workout and do want to mention that I had a good workout. Strength was good as was endurance. I am currently taking Green Bulge, largely because I had a bottle left from about 2-3 years ago so wanted to use it up before it expired and to save money. I prefer creatine supplementation in powder form, but bought Green Bulge a while ago. Green Bulge does use Magnesium Creatine Chelate, which is also used in Green Mag. Due to this my creatine stores were already saturated.

I absolutely love the Electic Lemonade Flavor of Green Mag!! It is much better tasting than the Sour Apple, which I find to be a pretty good tasting. I just am not a huge fan of sour apple. The powder easily mixed without any clumps. I also had absolutely no stomach discomfort at all.

I was highly pleased with this new flavor and am considering ordering a big tub of the Electric Lemonade Flavor Green Mag as I have gotten solid results in the past with no bloating. I definitely encourage you guys to give this new flavor a try as it only makes the solid formula taste even better.

Nice job Controlled Labs!!

[pu12en12g]

Thanks for the samples Tank and co. for the newest flavour of the Green Mag.

This is just a quick review on how i found the Flavour. Green Mag has always been one of my favourite Creatine drinks since taking it a few years ago now.
The Sour Apple flavouring was great but this new Electric Lemonade flavour is much, much better IMO.

Once it was mixed and was the same colour as the Sour Apple Flavour i didn't think that it would be as good as what a lot of people have already stated.

The Taste is great and it is very refreshing too. It's not a strong overpowering lemon flavour but is enough to get the taste buds working and the throat quenched and ready for more.
It almost took me back to when i used to buy some sweets years ago as a kid called Sherbert Lemons. A nice subtle lemon flavour to start with then as you get the lemon sherbert it wakes up the mouth and refreshes your palate.

Rating for flavour is a good 10/10 as some other lemon flavoured drinks out there aren't too nice to say the least but this is absolutley spot on.

The next tub of the Green Mag i buy is definatley going to be the Electric Lemonade flavour......................

[pu12en12g]

just got my samples of green mag and purple wrath. took half an hour before bicep workout today. i got the best pump ever from green mag. it was great. only could workout for about 45 minutes but it was great. i ordered the 14.95 special of green mag. i can wait to use it on a daily basis.

[pu12en12g]

I got my controlled labs samples a couple of days ago.
I did not try them until today.

Purple Wrath:
Mixability: 6/10
Taste 6/10

Felt no effects from it.. Maybe i was because it was my first time or the fact that i had been taking Shock Therapy... Mixed it with 20 ounces of water

[pu12en12g]

The sour apple was not so great, it mixed well though...

The Electric Lemonade was bomb!!

[pu12en12g]

i'm not working out tonite. i just wanted to try my green mag/purple wraath samples for taste.

GREEN MAG

Mix-ability: Just poured 14oz with the packet into an empty vitamin bottle water. shook it for a couple minutes but lil peices in the bottle won't go away so i added another 2-3oz of water shook... and still no luck with the lil peices on the bottem. so i give it a 7/10

Taste: hmm... taste like a watered down candy sour apple. taste sweet but with a kick of sourness at the end. for the taste i'll give it a 8/10 for a supplement.

Overall: well i'm not working out tonight. i'm just taking it for the taste mainly. i didn't think i could rate it's effectiveness with just a sample anyways. but from all the other reviews out there and the price of green mag. i think i will buy this after i'm done with the sizeon i got from the sale. (which i yet to try yet)

i will finish and write my purple wraath review after i finish sipping on my green mag.

[pu12en12g]

PURPLE WRAATH

Mix-ability: Just poured the sample packet with 17oz of cold water and shook for a good 5-10minutes. no luck gettin the small white peices away. so imma try to add 3 more oz. my lil bottle only holds 20oz. shook it for another 2-5 minutes and no luck. so i drank about 3oz and filled it to the top again... now most but not all the white peices are gone... so for mix-ability i give this product a 3/10. i guess i just gotta shake right before each sip.

Taste: all i can say is wow... i agree with most the other reviews out there about the taste. the sample taste pretty bad compared to xtend's new grape taste. but with that being said i always hear that the tub for some reason taste a lot better and that most people get used to the taste. and some people need to grow some balls. i mean the taste is bad but it's not terrible. if the results are as good as i read on other reviews, i have no problem chugging it down. each time i drink some and add more water i think the taste gets more tolerable, so i suggest using a lot of water with this product. i give the taste a 2/10 only because this is the worst tasting supp i ever took. but with that said i only took a very limited amount of supps so far.

Overall: Sure it takes forever to mix and tastes pretty bad... but this is bodybuilding guys this isn't a bakesale. i ain't in it for the taste. i don't think i can give this product a fair review with only a sample. i think PW is a lil pricey but if it works as good as i heard. when i get some extra cash i think i'll buy the lil tub of it to test how effective the product is. maybe by the time i get it they'll even be a version 4 =D

[pu12en12g]

White Flood:
Taste- I did not like it, wasn't reminded of Lemonade, upset my stomach. 5/10

Mixability- Had to shake it a few times 8/10

Performance- I felt a "rush" almost immediately and it lasted for 3-4 hrs. Im not sure how much better I performed, but I must credit CL for some of those extra reps. 8/10
