SizeOn PRE-CONTEST / Anavite review..... Credit to Gaspari!

[Tolerance]

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to review the product, Gaspari.

Reviewing a month's supply (1 tub) of:

-SizeOn (pre-contest), Concord Grape flavor.
-Anavite



SIZE ON

Gaspari took Sports Nutrition to the highest level with SizeOn, the original intra-workout creatine drink. There wasn't any doubt it represented a serious innovative leap forward in the creatine category. SizeOn clearly demonstrated in a clinical setting that it destroyed its competition and is often referred to as the King of Creatines.

As clinical research advances, so does Gaspari Nutrition which is why SizeOn has now evolved into the Ultimate No Added Carbohydrate Hybrid Intra-Workout Whey Hydosylate Creatine Formula. Once again Gaspari Nutrition raises the bar even higher in the sports nutrition industry and has offered you a no added carbohydrate version of its original masterpiece!

Gaspari Nutrition uses 12 grams of a high quality whey hydrosylate that contains over 50% di & tripeptides as well as a large array of anabolic promoting ingredients such a high dose of L-Leucine (5 grams) to allow for optimal athletic performance, skeletal muscle recovery, explosiveness and most notably, increases in muscle size WHILE YOU ARE STILL TRAINING. To top it off, we also included LOLA™, our cutting-edge, ammonia scavenging amino acid salt of L-Ornithine and L-Aspartate to modulate fatigue. The bottom line is that Gaspari Nutrition has once again outdone itself and yet again redefined the very category it created.

WHAT DOES SIZEON™ DO?

Support Protein Synthesis & Muscle Force Recovery
Regulate Muscle Volume, Muscle Fiber Size, Cell Volume & Plasma Amino Acid Levels
Amplify S6K1 and 4E-BP1 Signaling and Hypertrophic mTOR Pathway Conduction

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between SizeOn Pre-Contest and SizeOn Maximum Performance?

A: SizeOn Pre-Contest is built for the carbohydrate conscious bodybuilder and athlete looking to limit their caloric intake in the insulinogenic response to carbohydrates. Ideally, this is used during a cutting or dieting phase. The Pre-Contest version of SizeOn contains higher amounts of whey hydrosylate which is better utilized in a caloric deficit to maintain hard earned muscle mass.

Q: What is the difference between the new version of SizeOn Pre-Contest and the original?

A: SizeOn Pre-Contest does not contain the OUTLAST Carbohydrate matrix but does contain crucial amino acids to promote anabolism and spare muscle wasting for the dieting athlete or bodybuilder while training.

Q: Can SizeOn Pre-Contest only be used by bodybuilders or can athletes looking to build muscle mass and enhance their recovery use it as well?

A: SizeOn Pre-Contest can be utilized wishing to speed their recovery, build muscle mass, and increase performance whether in the gym or for athletic competition.

ANAVITE

ANAVITE is far beyond a normal multivitamin. It´s really 3 supplements in 1. An athlete´s multivitamin/mineral formula with optimal, clinically validated doses of Beta-Alanine and Carnipure™ (L-Carnitine L-Tartrate) for promoting increased endurance and nitric oxide levels while optimizing recovery, thus supporting aerobic and anaerobic athletic performance.* Fully loaded with highly bioavailable vitamin cofactors such as methylcobalamin and minerals such as methylselenocysteine you can expect that ANAVITE will exceed your expectations with this multivitamin & mineral formulation.* To raise the bar even further, Gaspari researchers included 2 FULL GRAMS of the powerful recovery aide Carnipure™ (L-Carnitine L-Tartrate) which has also been suggested to promote vasodilation, nitric oxide levels, and support increased androgen receptor density.* Lastly, ANAVITE includes over a FULL 3 GRAM daily dose of beta alanine which is the dosing threshold scientific studies suggest to increase both anaerobic and aerobic performance.* This provides the support needed to train harder longer!*

What Does ANAVITE™ Do?

Supports Increased Androgen Receptor Content In Muscle*
Optimize Post Exercise Muscle Recovery*
Promotes Vasodilation And Nitric Oxide Availability*
Support Aerobic And Anaerobic Sports Performance*
Contains High Quality Multivitamin & Mineral Formula*

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What Makes ANAVITE better than other multivitamins?
A: ANAVITE contains optimal doses of the vitamins and minerals athletes need, utilizing the highest quality bioavailable ingredients.* Furthermore, it does not contain ineffective doses of numerous ingredients commonly known as "label fluff," but effective doses of beta-alanine and l-carnitine l-tartrate. These not only help support the body´s anti-oxidant systems, but support performance and recovery.*

Q: How long does a bottle of ANAVITE last?
A: At the maximum doses ANAVITE contains a 30 day supply.

Q: Does ANAVITE cause a "prickling" (aka parathesia) sensation like other beta-alanine products?
A: Because of its advanced tableting technology, the amount of parathesia caused by ANAVITE is minimal if there is any at all. If you do feel any just split the doses into two pills taken with breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Q: Why did Gaspari include beta-alanine and l-carnitine l-tartrate in a multivitamin formula?
A: ANAVITE is actually a 3 in 1 supplement. Most other multivitamin formulas really don´t do much in terms of increasing performance and contain a bunch of underdosed ingredients that don´t equate to much. Furthermore, beta-alanine is best used multiple times a day in clinically validated doses.* You´ll notice it´s used in many pre-workout products that don´t contain the optimal dosing.* Since multivitamins and beta-alanine are best taken multiple times a day it made sense to stack them in the same product along with a powerful performance boosting anti-oxidant like l-carnitine l-tartrate.*

My lifting schedule and food intake daily will be different day by day (that's the military for ya...) so this will go day by day!

Hope to see what SizeOn is all about. Thanks Gaspari!

Well bad news... had a pft during the last week of May and hurt my knee, which kept me from doing leg work (fine no biggy, i can still do upper body...)

..... well there goes that idea, the next day after my knee, my elbow gave in to the "tendonitis"/loose tendons in my elbow. Doctor on base said dont lift, so im out for a couple more weeks.

Annoys the **** out of me because Sizeon was actually working for my legs. boxers/briefs are tight as ever and i even needed to buy new ones. Lifts went significantly up too.

I will contact a Gaspari rep about this situation later today since I still have about half a tub left. Gotta head to work now.

Bottom line is..... SizeOn=LEGIT.
