Went to GNC and bought Amplify Protein Smoothie supplement

I told the guy my wants:
-higher energy level
-increase protein intake
-goal is get and maintain lean mass

He gave me this:



This will be my first supplement of any sort. Btw, it tastes really yummy.

My questions are if any one of you ladies have tried it before and when the ideal time would be to drink it. I was going to go for breakfast or dinner times. Figured I might as well go at this as legit as possible if I'm going to improve my body.

I hope it wasn't too expensive. Any brand would have been fine, as long as you like the taste. Its just a blend of whey and casein which is the best IMO. Basically just use it to fulfill you daily requirement of protein. Drink it whenever you want.

Good to know. I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing out on some popular stuff everyone is buying. I'll have to see if this has casein in it.

The only reason I'm in here was because I saw a thread saying "went to GNC"
never go to GNC, they have the highest mark up of any "supplement" store around, and their employes are trained to sell you chit you don't need.

Brb selling test boosters to a 16 year old.

lucky you only walked out with a 2lb thing of protein. Some guy was telling a story about how a GNC employee sold his parents all sorts of crap telling them it was a miracle cure-all. He went to talk to the employee, and was not plz'd

[daniel626]

how much did you end up paying for the 2lbs of protein?

[SultanaK]

Looks like I dun goof. I bought it early last year (haven't used it once and isn't expired, yet). I think it was around $30 or $40.

We have GNCs and Super Supplements in my town. Could order online next. Suggestions?

1. RARELY LISTEN TO ANYONE EMPLOYED BY GNC!!!!!!
2. never go to gnc
3. higher energy level+protein, just buy some protein powder and mix in a scoop or 2 of complex carbs

bodybuilding.com has better prices. Don't worry about it though, just enjoy your protein and buy your next from here.
