My Supplement Review Page

[lilkev42]

This is my review of most of the prodcuts I have tried. This is no way sponsered by any company. This is all my opinion, if you have any questions, I will be more than happy to answer.

Proteins:

Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey - Chocolate/Vanilla
Taste - Choc(8) Vanilla(7)
Mixability - Choc(10) Vanilla(10)
Price - Choc(10) Vanilla(10)
Overall I think that this is a solid protein. I have not experienced any problems with either. I do not mind the Vanilla flavor, although I have read some hate it. For price, best protein I have tried.

Cytosport Complete Whey - Chocolate Mint
Taste - 9
Mixability - 10
Price - 9
Overall I just wanted to switch from ON. This is only a few bucks more and I loved the Muscle Milk flavoring. Anyway, I like this protein just as much as ON's. I might try the strawberry banana flavor, once I finish off my stash I have now.

Syntrax Matrix 5.0 - Chocolate
Taste - 9
Mixability - 7
Price - 8
This protein is a blend of whey, casein and egg. I liked the flavor, especially with milk. I took this protein before bed every night. For only around $30 for 5 lbs. at bb.com I did not find that too pricey. If you are looking for a blend then I would recommend Matrix.

Cytosport Muscle Milk - Chocolate Peanut Butter
Taste - 10
Mixability - 8
Price - 6
This is the best tasting protein I have had. But the drawback is that it is heavy in price and has a large amount of fat in it. Although it is good fat, if you tend to store fat, you can gain weight of it pretty easily. If I had the money I would buy this more often, but its more like a treat for me.

Ergopharm I-Pro - Cherry Exquisite/Raspberry Lemonade
Taste - Cherry(6) Rasp(10)
Mixability - Cherry(8) Rasp (7)
Price - Cherry(8) Rasp (8)
I bought these proteins because there was a sale and I wanted to try isolates. I am not a big fan of cherry but I figured for such a low price I could live through it. I love the drink of Raspberry Iced Tea so I figured I would also like this protein, I was right. Overall the only problems were the cherry taste(but Ive never been big on cherry), and it leaves clumps in the shaker, and a little in the blender. I still recommend both these to anyone looking for an isolate.

Creatines:

Optimum Nutrition AdEnergy Stack - Berry
Taste - 3
Mixability - 9
Effectiveness - 8
I bought this after a friend said it was great. It was kinda expensive, and the taste was awful to me. Although it worked pretty well, I would not buy it again for the price and taste. I wouldn't really recommend it to anyone.

Syntrax Swole - Fruit Punch
Taste - 6
Mixability - 7
Effectiveness- 8
I bought this after seeing reviews all over the internet. The price isn't bad, and the taste is kinda tart to me. I am not a huge fan of fruity flavors but I could stand it. The only problem I had with it was there were little flakes that would never dissolve. I would recommend this to someone who doesn't want a CEE product. Swole works well.

Omega Cre-Ethyl Thunder
Effectiveness - 9
This was my first try with a CEE product. I will have to say that I loved it. Great pumps, and gain in strength. It is a solid product and would say one of the best creatines on the market. 8 pills is kinda a large amount but its well worth it. Omega made a great product.

Controlled Labs Green Bulge
Effectiveness - 9.5
After the thunder I saw Green Bulge. I took this and recieved great pumps and strength gains. Just a smidge better than Thunder, Overall great product. Bought 2 GB/WB stacks that were damaged. Love the product and only 5 pills compared to 8.

Designer Supplements XCEED - Lemon Blast
Taste - 8
Mixability - 8
Effectiveness - 8.5
I tried this because I wanted a powder CEE product. It is a great product, taste I found to be pretty good. Mixes well, sometimes it would be a little stubborn but that wasn't too often. It works well, good pumps and strength but just below the GB and Thunder. I cant wait for Black Cherry as that is on a list to try.

NO:

MRI NO2
Don't ask why I bought this. I was stupid. Got some good pumps but not everyday, they were random it seemed. Price is outragous and I bought this when I was much younger. No further questions please.

BSN Nitrix
Same as above, I did not recieve that great of pumps. Price isn't as bad as MRI but its still no deal. I wouldn't recommend this product either.

Controlled Labs White Blood
Now this product is different. Great pumps, good price and also great to stack with Green Bulge. I would only recommend this product if you have the extra money. As NO don't seem to do much for me but pumps. I do like the pumps so when I have the money I like to get the product. Maybe Ill try at night and see if that gives me a different reaction.

BCAA's:

Optimum Nutrition Amino 2222 Softgels
I bought these after reading that BCAA's would help me for a better pre-workout supplement. I however did not recieve any results from this product. I read someone say that it is a casien shell, which would slow these down. I am not sure about that, but I won't get these again. Another rookie mistake.

Multivitamins:

NOW ADAM
These are the current multi I am taking. I love this multi, I guess it is just because it has a greater profile than the others. I would recommend any of these 3 though.

AST Multi Pro 32X
I took these, the only concern was the 200% of Iron that you would get. But I doubt that is a big problem. I would recommend this product.

GNC Mega Man
I got these because of the good ol salesman at GNC. Actually not a bad product. Kinda expensive but they have solid ingredients. If you don't mind spending the extra money I would recommend this, as I havn't seen the other 2 in local stores.

Stims:

NxCare RevXP
Energy - 8
Fat Loss - 8
I liked this product. It was recommended by a friend, I used it only before weightlifting and cardio. I did not use it throughout the day. It is more expensive than others but I feel it is still a solid product.

Nutrex Lipo 6
Energy - 9
Fat Loss - 9
After seeing great reviews I decided to try out this product, after I gained some weight when first entering college. I noticed this to give me a nice almost buzz like feel. I found it nice, especially when having an 8 am class. Saw good results, but I also cleaned up my diet.

Muscletech Thermogain
Energy - 9
Fat Loss - 7
I used this before lifting while I was in high school. I always needed a kick because I would be so tired. Actually liked this product, and I have tried stuff from MuscleTech and usually gave it to a friend or returned it. If it wasn't for the price I might still be using it occasionally. Muscletech actually made a solid product here.

Designer Supplements Basic Cuts
Energy - 8
Fat Loss - 8
I bought this after seeing the cheap price and seeing reviews on other DS products. Definitly a great product for the price. I can not say anything bad about it, cept I did not recieve such a great energy boost. oh well, I would recommend it to everyone. Can't hate on a $18 thermo that you will actually see results with.

Controlled Labs Red Acid
Energy - 9
Fat Loss - 9
I got this product, and I am currently using it now. You can check out my log. I like the product a lot, good clean energy boost. Price is well worth it, stacking with a yohimbe product makes the product even better. Not much more to say then good product.

Other:

Epic Nutrition 5-Tetra
I am running a cutting log with Red Acid and 5-Tetra. I am getting great results from the stack. I get a nice energy boost with the 5-Tetra, I feel it before I take the RA and once they both kick in, I am ready to go move some weight. Strength gains are coming even while cutting. Except for the price, this is a very solid product. If you can get your hands on this product, I would recommend it. I dunno if I will ever get it agian, unless I find a deal on it. Sad but true.

good reviews man, props

[bodybuilder45]

thanks for the reviews, they were helpful

[lilkev42]

Thanks for the support guys. I will keep this updated as I try new products.

[sublimejeh]

nice job... I have a supp. review page also, in my sig, check it out

[martel04]

nice reviews very helpful reps for u.

[ironstrife]

good reviews! thx..
yea, i, too, have purshased MRI NO2 in my shameful past as well..

[lilkev42]

Well, I looked over the review and noticed that I did in fact forget some stuff, so I am adding them here.

Non-stim Fat Burners

Scivation LipidFX
Effectiveness - 8
I used LipidFX to help for a lean bulk. It took until about the 15th day or so to really notice the effects. I thought it worked well, at first I did get discouraged because I am used to effects to come in after about the first week. But just be patient, and you will be able to see the results. I was pleased with this product. I would love to get my hands on some Scivation Sesamin and stack them together. From what I have read, they would make a nice stack.

Syntrax Gugguls
Effectiveness - 6
These really need to be stacked with something to see results. Once I added the RevXP, I really saw some fat loss. I had taken RevXP before, and it was on sale so I decided to stack and I have to say it accelerated the thermo, but still only to about a 7.5-8 overall. I wouldn't really recommend these, and there is such controversy over them.

Wellness Supps/Vitamins

NOW ENERGY
I do not really know how to rate this product. I did not recieve any added energy, but I would have to say I was feeling better overall. All the energy is powered by natural extracts and what not. I guess its worth a try, not expensive and it cant hurt to have some extra vitamins and minerals in you.

NOW Super Antioxidents
I would have to say that this product is a good one. I felt great while on it, and never really got sick. I think antioxident support is important and that it should be in everyones staples. So I would recommend this product to everyone. I am thinking about trying out some Designer Supplements Vigor, to just compare the antioxident powers.

[AFHC]

Oh wow, did not know that. That is a great deal then, I will have to check that out next time I stock up on some supps. Thanks for the info.

Oh and those aren't all samples above, those are the real deal. I am going to do samples probably on Sunday or so. But yeah I should have a decent amount of samples, as I went to the thread here with all those free samples.

[lilkev42]

SAMPLES

Prolab Pure Whey - Cinnamon Oatmeal
Taste - 6/10
Mixability - 9/10
The taste was very weak. There isn't enough flavoring IMO, it just tasted like water with a little cinnamon flavor. I was kinda excited about the flavor but it was a let down. It however mixed together great. I don't think I'll buy this protein.

Universal Real Gains - Vanilla
Taste - 8/10
Mixability - 8/10
I was surprised that this Vanilla flavor taste was pretty good. Kinda like vanilla ice cream, and it also mixed well together. I am not big on weight gainers because I can't afford the extra calories. But it tasted good and if someones looking for a good tasting gainer, this could be what your looking for.

Universal Ultra Iso Whey - Tropical Punch
Taste - 5/10
Mixability - 6/10
I did not like the tropical punch taste. I am not a big fan of the fruity flavors, but I-pro did make a good Rasp-Lemonade. But anyway it also did not mix up that well, and it foamed up way too much. It just didnt set well with me.

Universal Nitro-G - Grape
Taste - 7/10
Mixability - 10/10
Effectiveness - 8/10
This BCAA product was pretty good. I could handle the grape flavor, it wasnt terrible but wasnt spectacular either. It mixed well together, and I took this a pre-during my workout. I had a good amount of added stamina. It definitly gave me a better workout, I always mean to try a BCAA product but just havn't. Good product, looks more expensive than some of the other products out there though.

Universal Shock Therapy - Wild Punch Kicker
Taste - 6/10
Mixability - 8/10
I took this preworkout, I didnt notice much of a difference. I would assume it takes time just like similar volumizing products. As I have mentioned before I am not a big fan of fruit punch drinks, so it didnt sit well with me. As a sample I can't really comment much on this products effectiveness.

Universal Storm - Grape
Taste - 8/10
Mixability - 9/10
Just like Shock Therapy, I think this product needs time to feel and see results. The taste was just like Nitro-G's taste so its not too bad. Formula doesn't look too bad, although I am a fan of CEE now, over the other creatines. Just as Shock Therapy I think you need time to evaulate this product further.

Anabolic Xtreme Stimulan X
Energy - 9/10
After taking this product, I recieved a great energy boost that lasted for a couple hours. I blew right through my workout and even cardio. I didn't crash when I finally came off the energy boost. I actually have a bottle of this now, but I have not used it because I was using Red Acid/Basic Cuts for a stim. Maybe on dragging days I will take this.

Well these are all the samples I have tried. There was a disappointment because when I got to my home, there weren't any samples for me. I can't wait for my AMP to come, because I have seen great reviews for it. Well I am finished with my review page for now, as I do not have any new supps yet. But when I do, I of coarse will update this thread. Thanks, and if you have any questions dont be afraid to ask.

[lilkev42]

Ergopharm AMP
Energy - 10/10
I got this sample in the mail, and recently just tried it. I would have to say I loved this product. I had a great deal of energy and focus. It just made me feel good and that I could lift all day. This might just be my favorite energy supplement now. I am going to get a bottle of this soon.

Scivation NOxident
I bought a bottle of this after using NOW's Super Antioxidents, because of deals you can find for this. I thought it had a good blend of antioxidents and for the price, its well worth it. I think I am going to stock up while sales continue.

Omega BURN3D
Effectiveness - 9/10
I was chosen to test this new product. I had great results with using it for 40 days. This would cause someone to buy two bottles, but in the end I believe that it is worth it. It took about two weeks before I really saw the results to come. But once they did, they kept coming, and I never lost any strength/size.

Scivation Sesamin + Primaforce Max CLA (Stack)
Effectiveness - 9.5/10
I took these two products together and I must say that I would make this a staple if I had the money. I never had fat gains, even when I was traveling for a few days and I ate like crap. Also my skin was crystal clear the whole time I was using this stack. I know it is from the Sesamin since many others have stated this while using Sesamin.

Scivation Xtend (Grape)
Effectiveness - 9/10
Taste - 5/10
Mixability - 7/10
After reading people rave about this product, I finally went and got some. The owner of the store warned me that watermelon was the best, but I am not a fan of watermelon, so I went with grape. I would have to say that I am not a fan of the grape flavoring. I only bought a small tub, so I will get a watermelon next time. But this product works awesome, the reviews you read are right. Stamina and recovery are way up, and I wish I bought BCAA's long ago. This would also be a staple if I had the money. By the way I am in the 150's lbs. and I use 4 scoops pre+during, and 2 scoops post.
