Just finished up a very generous sample pack of The Curse by Cobra Labs and wanted to throw some thoughts on it up here for future generations.
Mixability--Very good. No "white stuff" on top and no grit in the bottom of the cup. After letting it sit for a moment or two, all you have is a glass of lemony goodness.
Ingredient Profile--Not bad. Pretty simple and mostly proven ingredients. The one thing I question is the olive leaf. I know some studies have show that it increases blood flow by relaxing the arteries. I always applaud innovation, and it's good to see someone trying something new!
Taste--GREAT! I could totally drink this stuff as a regular thirst quencher. I've never had a regular lemonade flavor PWO before, and I have to wonder why more companies don't offer it. I've also mixed it with some raspberry BCAA's I have, and it's off the chain!
Effects--The first thing I notice is the Beta-Alanine tingle, that's always a good sign. Next is the wake-up and then it's time for the gym. After using The Curse for the better part of a week. I have noticed some increased vascularity, but no new PR's or anything spectacular. I'd much rather work out with it, than without it. But, I'm not particularly blown away by its effects.
Bottom Line--This is a solid product and very cost-effective at 50 servings for under $30. When I'm on a tight budget, The Curse will definitely be on my short list of products>
