Vasocharge
I had a few samples of vasocharge so figured I`d try it out. I almost threw up - the smell was horrible. Kind of like rotten eggs mixed with something else...I cannot see me buying the product in the future because of this.
Did anyone else find this to be a problem?
I think I'll stick with Xtend and creatine caps pre-workout.

Yes, I also had a free sample. It was really bad and made me feel sick. I have had no-xplode and I like that. Im getting a free sample of white flood soon,just want to try it. Xtend and creatine caps is what im taking also and I really like it.

It could be the niacin...I can't explain the rotten egg smell.
I've taken vasocharge every single workout day from October 2007 until present, and haven't experienced this.....
I'm sorry your experience wasn't pleasant  but am glad you're sticking with xtend!

I've been using Xtend for the past 2 years or longer. I love it.
Vasocharge, not so much...not saying it's a bad product, it worked fine - just the smell was almost putrid! Maybe I got some old samples!

I haven't noticed the smell but I do not like the taste. However, I still drink it but very fast though so that I don't have to deal with the taste for very long lol!. I love the pump I get prior to my workout with vasocharge. I also drink xtend during my workout.

Do you find this with BOTH the lemonade AND berry flavour?

I used Vasocharge and it was so off putting, I will never use it again. There's gotta be other similar products out there that don't taste like rotten fruit. I literally gagged when I drank it. I know whatcha mean.

The berry is not as bad as the lemonade but I still don't enjoy it that much  I wish I could enjoy the flavor as much as I enjoy my xtend. I'm still going to continue using vasocharge though.

Xtend?
What is in it? It sounds like a decent product! I would like to try it! Any negative feed back?

Your sample must have went bad. I had a lemonade vasocharge sample before and it had no off odor, and tasted great. Of course it could be a bad batch, or they could have changed the ingredients since then.

I use VasoCharge for every workout and love it! Never had an issue with it at all. I actually mix about 2 scoops of VasoCharge with 2 scoops of Xtend and drink that before my workout and then continue to just drink Xtend during the workout. Maybe you could try mixing? It's never smelled or tasted bad to me.

I've been in charge of searching for Xtend reviews on bbing.com for Scivation, and I've yet to come across a negative review...it's BCAAs + glutamine...

I just tried my sample of vasocharge today, and I didn't notice any horrible smells. The taste is alright, but nothing absolutely horrible. It gave me what I needed though in terms of intensity, pumps, etc. Perhaps you guys got a bad batch?

Yes, it must have gone bad (or been a bad batch) because I've tried a lot of different pre-workout supps and shakes and nothing I've tried has ever smelled or tasted as bad as those samples I had.
Surprising because normally I like Scivation products!

We formulated it...
Did you get a batch that was hard? Like...solid rocks?
The new formula makes it more like Xtend...really light and powdery.
