We all know that supplements are not a replacement for nutrition and training, but if you are looking for a supplement to enhance every part of your workout and take your gains to the next level... look no further than Purple Wraath by Controlled Labs.

PurplEAA Complex:

The Purple Wraath PurplEAA Complex is a very efficient formula based on the science of actual homo sapiens muscle protein and clinical studies on human amino acid assimilation. Essential Amino Acids (EAA's) are the "building blocks" of lean muscle mass, but the EAA's from whey protein can take hours to enter circulation. The solution is the Purple Wraath fast-acting, free-form PurplEAA Complex:

While essential amino acids function cohesively as a group to aid in your training, additionally they each produce a significant benefit when it comes training:

Leucine
- Primary anabolic trigger
- Enhance recovery
- Optimize hormone levels

Valine
- Energy
- Recovery
- Glucose production
- Nitrogen balance
- Anti-inflammatory
- Analgesic

Isoleucine
- Energy
- Recovery
- Glucose production
- Hormones

Lysine
- Beta-oxidation
- Nitrogen balance
- Calcium absorption
- Energy

Arginine
- Vasodilator
- Nutrient delivery
- Anti-Catabolic

Histidine
- Vasodilator
- Sexual function

Threonine
- Nutrient uptake
- Immune system

Methionine
- Enhance metabolism
- Energy
- Mood
- Antioxidant

Phenylalanine
- Energy
- Hormones
- Mood

It's important to understand that our EAA Complex includes all of the BCAA's (Branched Chain Amino Acids) that you have used in the past, including a precise ratio of leucine. Research shows that blood levels of these KEY amino acids are directly related to muscle protein synthesis, so we formulated a comprehensive and efficient matrix to enhance lean mass directly and indirectly, and under various conditions. Now, that ratio is important, but there are some other very exciting points about this formula. Unlike some of the amino acid supplements on the market, you aren't paying for cheap "filler" ingredients such as dextrose or maltodextrin when you purchase Purple Wraath. Also, we chose not to include the amino acid glutamine since it is not an essential amino acid, and our bodies can synthesize it on its own in sufficient quantities. Because the studies that we based this formula off of do not use tryptophan and since it has the potential for "sedative" like side affects, we designed Purple Wraath to be completely tryptophan-free.

By combining intense exercise or weightlifting with the fast absorbing PurplEAA Complex you can rush nutrients into the active cells of your working muscles, creating an anabolic environment optimal for recovery and lean mass.

What would an EAA product be without some amazing support ingredients? Good, but not great. To make this formula great we added the PurplEndurance Complex.

PurplEndurance Complex:

You can't create an optimal anabolic environment without intensity so Controlled Labs decided to take things to the extreme with Purple Wraath by including the ultimate caffeine-free Ergogenic Complex:

So what does each of the ingredients in the PurplEndurance Complex do?

Beta-Alanine
- Helps increase aerobic efficiency
- Helps enhance oxygen transport
- Helps to reduce lactic acid accumulation

Citrulline Malate
- Reduces Lactic Acid and Ammonia
- Boosts energy production
- Has an oxygen sparing effect
- Boosts mitochondrial function

Betaine Anhydrous
- Is a key osmotic/cellular hydration ingredient
- Enhances muscle fullness
- Acts as an energy enzyme protector
- Induces the conversion of homocysteine to methionine
- Elevates glutathione levels
- Promotes liver health
- Helps you maintain intracellular electrolytes
- Enhances metabolism

Ginger
- Aids in nutrient absorption
- Enhances digestion/stomach function
- Produces a nootropic effect

Norvaline
- Helps elevate naturally occurring eNOS

As you can see, we have responded to customer demand and the result: Purple Wraath...the most advanced pre-workout product available!!

**Usage Tip: Mix Purple Wraath 30 minutes before you intend to take it and put it in the fridge, the taste will be better and it will dissolve more fully.**

Comments: I used two scoops of purple wraath. I tried it with 10oz water, it ended up being too sweet. Next, I tried 15oz, still too sweet. Tried 20oz, still a bit too sweet. It tasted best with 25oz's of water. It's definitely a sweet grape candy flavor. I prefer this over grape or lemon xtend, this is saying a lot.

Through out the workout, recovery time was definitely faster. Towards the end of the workout I noticed the beta alanine kicked in as my back, chest, legs, and arms had the prickly feeling.

I drank about 80-90oz of water during the workout.

Taste: 9.5/10
This is definitely one of the better tasting supplements I've had. I've always been a big fan of grape.

Mixability: 9/10
Didn't mix well with 15oz water. However, mixed completely with 25oz.

Workout: 9/10
At the end of the workout, I was not winded at all. I felt completely fine. Triceps were full, Chest was pumped. With water weight, I weighed 194.2lbs, not that it matters much.

Awesome I can't wait to try it out! I actually like the flavor of V2 so im sure I will dig the new flavor.

[Alex08]

Definitely picking up another tub after this. Since there are 90 servings, and if i use two scoops, this should last me 1.5-2months.

Comments:
Definitely not a bad workout for me, I was sweating more than usual. I used two scoops of purple wraath in conjunction with 30oz's of water this time. I really like the fact that you can drink half of it and add more water and it still tastes great. Generally you can do this with xtend, but there is just a lot more flavor in purple wraath and lasts longer.

Overall Workout: 8.5/10

Not too much to say except the beta alanine is somewhat annoying, I felt it in my earlobes. Otherwise another decent workout with the awesome tasting Purple Wraath. I'm actually up 1lb since starting.

Comments:
To be honest, I haven't really done a hard leg workout in awhile. I've never really leg pressed before and I was trying to find my max, which unto this point I still have no clue. The prickling feeling of beta alanine wasn't present today, which I'm really happy about. Recovery time was superb, but I had to leave the gym because I think I already did enough leg workout for the day.

Comments:
I took a couple days off because I knew my body needed a big rest and I knew some big PR's would be coming. I've upped my protein intake to 400-450g and been feeling better than ever. I've also been working on my diet a bit more, trying to iron out everything.

Today's usage of purple wraath was great, recovery time once again was excellent. I had a bit more sweating than usual, but it's also because i'm up 4lbs since last time. I weighed in at 196.7lbs and left the gym weighing 199.3lbs.

Little sleepy going into the gym, but didn't stop me from lifting heavy. Beta alanine tingling came back, not as bad. Arms are finally looking a bit fuller. Only 350g of protein today, my quota is suppose to be over 400g's. Anyway, still a good workout, probably need to use 200mg of caffeine next time if I feel that sleepy.

Lol, really? Screw that; just because they look too big doesn't mean they don't need work. I used to think that for my legs I do a mix of upright rows, behind back barbell shrug, "regular" barbell shrugs, and dumbbells shrugs.
