It's come down to these 3 ; profile wise.For those who have used all 3, which one is better in terms of :
1)recovery
2)strength
3)mass gains(assuming a strict PWO diet protocol 2:1 carbs to protein)
i would care less about the taste.

when you look for a post workout supp, then look to get one that has not only sugars as carb source. most of those products are not only overloaded with carbs but use mainly sugar. If I remember correctly, the only exception from this was DS replenish with a very reasonable amout of carbs (30 g) and quite some fibers.
I mix my own pwo shake, but if I had to buy a commercial one I would definitively go with replenish.

Im not a science-guy but I do know that esterifying the aminos does not harm the product as you make it sound. I have compared Esterified Arginine to Regular Arginine, Esterified Creatine to Regular Creatine and Esterified BCAAs to Regular BCAA's and in my trials (all lasting over 30+ days) I found better results using the esterified versions.
To answer the initial poster's question, the thing that I really like about Anabolic Window, that I think stands out from the rest of the products in this category, isnt the protein (everyone uses isolate/hydrolosate/whey) or even the added aminos and types of creatine/glutamine, but it is the timed-release carb complex we use, which consists of Modified Potato Starch & Trehalose & D-Glucose & Glucose Polymers). I used to use similar other products and after about 1 hr post-workout I would feel as if my body was going through an insulin shock because the carbs were too many, too fast, and too quickly absorbed in my body. With Anabolic Window there is no crash, and I almost feel like this product continues working until my next meal.
There is no substitute to great diet, however post-workout nutrition is one of the biggest factors in putting on muscle and it is good to see different companies FINALLY making such great products for consumers.

Unlike any of our other protein/gainers, the Anabolic Window was developed using a similar flavoring system to that you would find in a fruity product like Nectar. The lemonade is really good, and the prototype for Melon-Apple is great.
There are some funky tasting natural ingredients in this product, like whey hydrolosate & Esterified BCAA's, however the flavoring system in Anabolic Window pretty much masks the taste and makes for a refreshing postworkout shake.

Yeah definitely take advantage of Hal's awesome chart. Personally I just like some whey with dextrose in water. Has been working fine for me, these post workouts seem a bit expensive if you take into consideration the ingredients.

The modified potato starch in Nutrabolics' Anabolic Window is very similar (if not identical) to waxy maize starch. If I am not mistaken, Waxy Maize Starch is patented to another company, which is why we used Modified Potato Starch in ours. Plus ours has the Trehalose, which I have been reading good things about.

This is the info I have been given on Modified Potato Starch which makes it even Better that Waxy Maize Starch:
Modified Potato Starch has unique characteristics which allows them to function in ways which are truly unique. Due to its very high molecular weight, high phosphate content, and high viscosity potential, this products often out perform the derivatives of corn, waxy maize, and other starches by wide margins.
Again, I am not a science guy, but if you have a specific question letme know.
