MRM French Vanilla Metabolic Whey Review

I would like to thank MRM for sending me out a sample packet of their French Vanilla Metabolic Whey to try!



Metabolic Whey is a delicious, creamy, 100% whey protein formula. Our unique protein blend META-Pro is bioengineered to increase muscle size, strength and promote lean body mass. META-Pro delivers an optimal source of whey protein. It is produced by a state-of-the-art, low temperature, ultra-filtration process, which yields an extremely clean, high quality whey protein. This unique processing yields a High Biological Value protein, rich in branched chain amino acids and glutamine for advanced recovery, therefore, providing increased nitrogen retention.*

In addition, META-Pro is formulated with cross flow, ultrafiltered Whey Protein Isolate and NitroZyme. The biochemists at MRM have taken the "High Protein Diet" to the next level, without the worry of wasting ingested protein. The addition of NitroZyme helps break down long and short chain peptides into smaller, more readily absorbable amino acids for maximum absorption and digestion.* The problem with the "high protein" diet used by many athletes and dieters is that the body may be unable to naturally digest and absorb high amounts of protein at one time. NitroZyme helps the body release more amino acids from ingested protein than the action of digestive enzymes alone.* When an athlete takes Metabolic Whey (enhanced with NitroZyme), the body can absorb more free amino acids directly into the muscle tissue, which helps to increase muscle size, strength and lean body mass.

Metabolic Whey is the perfect protein supplement for reduced carbohydrates diets. It only has 2.5g of Carbohydrates per serving with zero added sugars (NO fructose nor sucrose). The carbohydrates are naturally occurring from the whey protein as well as the flavors. This formula was designed to provide your muscles with all of the essential amino acids required for maximum nitrogen retention necessary for muscle strength, growth and development. Metabolic Whey is a delicious protein supplement and is Aspartame-Free!

NitroZyme - for enhanced protein absorption

About Me
-21 Years Old
-200.5 lb Bodybuilder/Powerlifter
-525x2 Squat, 545x2 Deadlift, 335x2 Bench
-Currently Lean Bulking using my personalized BF DUP Program consisting of:
Day 1: Lower Max Effort
Day 2: Upper Max Effort
Day 3: Lower Hybrid
Day 4: Upper Hybrid
Day 5: Lower Hypertrophy
Day 6: Upper Hypertrophy
Day 7: Weakpoint training (Arms and Calves)
*squatting, benching, and deadlifting 3-4x per week with high volume sessions

What I Expect
Given that this is protein, effectiveness is not a category we can fully judge as if you are hitting your macronutrients for the day, you simple add this in and it will aid in your current goals of being in a surplus (gaining) or a deficit (losing.) Protein powder is just that, a supplement to help HIT your protein requirements for the day. With that being said, there's no reason you have to eat bad tasting protein!!! I have no expectations for this product to be honest, simply because I have never heard good nor bad reviews on it. Let's begin!



Flavors Available
French Vanilla
Rich Chocolate
Strawberry Banana
Chocolate

Dosing
Directions
Directions For Metabolic Whey: For a Delicious, Creamy shake, add 1 slightly heaped scoop to 3-4 floz of cold water or your favorite beverage and shake or blend to perfection

My Dosing
As I received 1 sample packet of half a serving (which kind of made me mad....just send a full serving), I made it into a sludge with BARELY any water...and even at that, I probably put too much in



Product Presentation (Packaging Assessment)
The sample packet of MRM Metabolic Whey had a pretty cool overall color combination and design and the top of the packet ACTUALLY ripped off easy and I didn't have to look for scissors to cut it off! Overall, decent packaging but nothing outta this world.

Overall

Taste and Aroma 8/10
THIS really surprised me! I am typically not a vanilla protein powder fan but it smelled and tasted EXACTLY like Breyer's French Vanilla Ice Cream! The flavoring was spot on being that it was not too sweet, but not too dull...honestly a VERY good vanilla protein and one of the few vanilla flavors I actually like!

Mixability 10/10
In the sludge there was NO clumps, grit, or anything and mixed pretty damn well! Usually sample packets have been sitting for a while and it leads to the powder inside clumping up but this was pretty finely ground and gave me no issues!

Total Score: 9/10



Price
Purchase Link: http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/mrm/met.html
Value: 5 LBS for $48.98 / 79 servings
Opinion: 5 lbs of protein usually runs anyway from $45+ so for this being right around that, I'd say its a pretty good buy especially if you really like Vanilla Protein! Would definitely suggest it to others looking for a new flavored vanilla whey.

Store Review: http://reviews.bodybuilding.com/MRM/...2f4211a06ff24/

Overall
Overall I'd say if your looking for a Vanilla protein that is at a pretty standard rate, give this one a try! I personal like more wild flavors than just the basics but hey, its always good to have some extra chocolate or vanilla protein laying around the house to have whenever your palate is craving something different!

What I Expect

Cellucor has won the past

 3 battles and has momentum on its side! Time to put it to the test of Evogen's EVP PLUS, a preworkout that I previously reviewed, logged, AND LOVED!!! I can honestly see this battle giving a slight node in favor of C4 just based off my previous review but only time will tell!



Each BATTLE will consist of:

-3 days taking Cellucor C4 followed by 3 days of taking Opposing Preworkout

-Entire write up and video review of the battle assessing: mixability, flavor, energy levels, pump increases, focus changes, ingredient profile overview and thoughts, overall effectiveness of product, AND THE WINNER!!!!

-Rating will be the standard ?/10



THE BATTLE!!!!!






Mixability

As with all of my mixability testings, I use nothing other than the shaker bottle, water, and product (NO blender cube) in order to assess the true mixability capabilities of the product. C4 as you guys know mixed perfectly with no clumps and NO foam! As with my previous review on EVP PLUS, sadly had slight residue at the bottom of the shaker and a decent amount of foam. After letting the product sit for about 20 mins the foam was only slightly there but still present...overall I wish Evogen did a better job with this aspect of the product.

Flavor

After switching from the Mystery flavor of C4 to the Icy Blue Razz, I gotta be honest and say I had to score C4 down 1 point simply because Blue Razz is easily steps below the Mystery Flavor and although still tastes amazing, isn't on the same 10/10 level as the Mystery Flavor. Now this REALLY surprised me! I knew from taking EVP PLUS before that the flavor was outta the park but after comparing the two, had to give the nod to EVP PLUS! The Peach Mango flavor tastes EXACTLY like a liquid peach ring and is such a unique flavor, I feel EVERYONE needs to try it out at least once! Love it!

Energy

Cellucor's C4 energy, as always, flows in and seems to stay with you throughout the day AS DOES EVP PLUS! When I previously logged EVP PLUS, you'll notice this product is not meant to "stim you out" but rather provide ample enough energy WHICH i experienced to a greater extent this second run through of using the product! I had the perfect amount of energy with NO crashes throughout the day! The only reason C4 got the 1 point difference over EVP PLUS is because the energy seemed to stay longer and "better" throughout the day than the EVP PLUS. Very tough call though as both have great energy blends!

Pump

C4 AND EVP PLUS' pump capabilities were so amazing! As with the energy portion, C4 barely beat out EVP PLUS by simply lasting longer! EVP PLUS's pump enhancements seemed to slightly wear out nearing the end of my workouts (20 mins left) where as you never notice the pump from C4 leave!...Damn...I didn't realize how close this battle was haha

Focus
Again, you guys know I assess focus with EVERY PREWORKOUT product even though C4 and EVP PLUS are NOT intended to promote extreme focus. In my experience, a pre workout product that is working (giving you more energy and better pumps) ultimately leads you to being more intense and focused in the gym making for an overall BETTER workout! BOTH products were beyond effective, but as you saw with the energy and pump categories, C4 slightly edged out EVP PLUS, leading you to have more energy and better pumps in the gym, leading to (me) focusing even better!

Overall Opinion
I honestly would suggest you buying both! They are both such amazing products that deserve to be given the chance to prove themselves to you! We all react differently to supplements and maybe EVP PLUS will work better for you than C4! Maybe C4 will work better for you than EVP PLUS like it did for me! The point is, test them out, try them, and definitely let me know which you like best!
