    Here's two great threads that portray quite nicely how everyone feels about IntrAbolic...mind you the polls in the first thread got a little out of hand (they're private, so people tend to exploit)..but the posts are great reads.

    I would pick AEN's Intrabolic as the premier supplement in the Intra-workout category. Simply put, no other products comes close in terms of formulation or quality of ingredients. When priced out for the amount of amino acids per serving, it is actually a very reasonable product with an incredible profile.

    There is also a tremendous scientific backing for the product in terms of using study suggested optimal doses of ingredients to create the product. I am also reassured that AEN utilizes cGMP facilities to assure us that what is on the label is in the product.

    I also believe it to be a very versatile product in terms of use. It can be utilized for both cardio and weightlifting amongst other applications. It can also be stacked w/ additional synergistic ingredients or paired with effective carbohydrate supplementation to truly give a powerful addition to one's supplementation.

    MIXABILITY

    I mixed it in 20 ozs cold water. I did not mix it with any other supplement.

    IntrAbolic is kind of interesting in this aspect. You don't have to violently shake it like some powders. I just flipped my container back-n-forth a couple of times, set it down on the counter, waited 5 minutes, and WALLA!!!

    The nice thing about IntrAbolic is that it stays mixed. You don't have to keep shaking the container to mix it.

    TASTE





    Wow, what an after taste!!! But we don't take supps for the taste.

    I can't wait to taste the New & Improved flavoring!!!!

    PERFORMANCE

    I did feel some tingling in my face due to the Beta Alanine. I have used Core ABC (most of the time 1 scoop (2.5 g), but sometimes 2 scoops) and I never felt any tingling from that product. The tingling really didn't bother me at all, other than it was present.

    Also, I felt different during my workout. I don't know how to describe it other than that.


    I am really interested in seeing how IntrAbolic performs over the duration of this log. I have read all the feedback from other logs and IntrAbolic is quite interesting.

    Nothing has really changed in the formula, just an improved flavor, so I am not going to review anything else about it right now, except for the taste.


    Taste Compared to Old Formula: Wow, what a difference from the original, which I could not drink by itself. To me, this has the taste of a Green Apple where the original was bad for me!!!

    I could actually sit on my Deck and enjoy this improved flavor as a refreshing drink!!!

    Props to AEN for this improved flavoring because you have a Winner!!!

    http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=5026393

    I received 2 samples of AEN's IntrAbolic Citrus to taste test.

    This flavor is very good and refreshing! The Citrus smell is very good. It mixes very well and there really was no after taste at all.

    It's going to be a tough choice between the Citrus & Fresh Green Apple becasue they are both outstanding!!!

    There is no comparison. IntrAbolic is hands down, the Best Intra-Workout supplement!!! And you can take that to the bank!!

    Intrabolic for me too, just change the name of the thread to "Intrabolic Reviews". JK

    Purple Wraath and First Order are also good for Intraworkout.

    Getting well along in my second large tub of Purple Wraath and I decided it was time for a review.

    I remember back to my first experience, free sample from bb.com. I mixed it up and drank it down all before lifting =P Kind of defeated the purpose... Later through research I better realize what the product really was. So I got a tub of the grape. I remember not enjoying it to much at first, but it quickly grew on me to the point where I actually craved when I was not lifting. Then one day I decided to add ice, bad idea. Now I drink the PW way to fast. Ok, it was a good idea...Purple Wraath was one of the piece of product I used during some of my best gains so it quickly became a staple after that. I saw that they were making a lemonade flavor so I picked that up as soon as it was available, by then I was a "Cl fan boy" =P. Enjoyed it a lot even from the first taste.

    There was a time near the last 1/4th of the grape tub I dropped all supplements except for whey, creatine, EFA, and multi to get back to the basics for a little over 2 weeks. That is when I realized how much PW was really helping. Those were some short lifting days....

    Price It seems like it is up there but if you break it down it is not bad at all. Obviously it would be a value if it is from CL. If you are considering PW and lift at very high intensity, but the price seems to be an issue get a half tub to test.

    Taste Most people including I did not like it as much at first, now I love it. Need a little time to get used to it. Making it cold helps too.

    Mixing Pour slow and stir as you go, then stir hardcore, and let it sit a bit. Then stir some more and I'm good to go.

    Effectiveness I'm pretty sure that second paragraph constitutes the effectiveness I felt while using, or the lack of when not using.

    Thought about doing a price breakdown for myself and other like the OT thing I did, but I'm tired and that takes a little while so I'm going to watch tv...



    Purple Wraath FTW!!

Purple wraath could very well become a staple for me and i'll surely get some when i finish Extend ( which by the way i like too ). thanks Controlled Labs!

    In general I have used Yellow Neuphoria, Golden Finish, Purple Wraath, Green Mag, White Flood, Orange Triad....and every single one of they products has met and exceeded all expectations...

    Purple Wraath will come with me for my eating contests to keep me hydrated and awake before my eating contests

    I'm honestly a confident "supplementer" when I use Controlled Labs products and will continue to use their products for years to come...

    Next to try is definetly REDuction (was supposed to get this to log, but it never came )...Green Buldge, White Blood will also be in the works...

    Anyways keep up the solid work CL, I gotta go finish drinkin' my GFH (hope that serving issue gets solved )

I will definitely be using this for my upcoming keto diet as well.

I've been using PW for about 8 weeks now (Great value by the way since I'm still on my first tub and have a good few weeks left). I use about three scoops mixed with a third of a gallon of water intra-workout. I've definitely upped my lifting goals during the last three months and have been FOCUSED.

    Last night I was in a rush and figured I could just mix a quick pre-workout drink and get in there, so I mix some White Flood (Two 1/2 scoops) and get in the gym. I complete about three working sets of standing overhead BB presses and I'm feeling pretty good, then I get to my next movement for the night, DB side laterals and after the first two sets I hit a speed bump. I hadn't felt like that for what seems like forever, it wasn't bad enough to quit but it was VERY noticeable. As I go through the rest of my shoulders routine I noticed a lack of focus and definitely wasn't as "INTO IT" as I usually am.

    Either way I'd like to thank Controlled Labs for creating a product that has been tested and proven as a very helpful tool in my lifting regimen.

    "I won't leave home without it"

    For those of you that are still on the fence about trying an "Intra Workout" drink, I recommend investing the 45 or so dollars it costs for this supplement. It will last you AT LEAST two months, if not more, and you will notice an improvement on endurance and focus. It doesn't give you the jitters or STIMulated but over time will increase your productivity in the gym

    Good luck and be safe!

    Background:

    I really liked the idea of using a supplement during the workout, which was how I took SizeOn during the month I was using it. I liked it so much, I then switched to Universal Nutrition Animal Nitro G, which helped somewhat. I had tried a sample of Purple Wraath earlier, but since my digestive system was in a state of nuclear disorder from the Superdump 250, the results were noticably skewed. I also took it pre-workout, which was, in my opinion, totally the wrong way to do it. I also saw so much verbiage on PW that I felt I should give it another shot and bought a tub. I started it as an active part of my workouts on January 11, 2007.

    Review: First of all, let me state this up front. Purple Wraath not only does not taste good, it will NEVER taste good. It will taste less bad or more tolerable if you mix in a concentration of 1 + 3/4 scooops to 20 oz. of water. This is the concentration in which I use it during my workouts. My brother somehow enjoys the taste of this, so it may depend on personal preference, but I will tell you that "Juicy Grape" is a definite misnomer.

    Next, again, up front, this does not and never will mix well. The best way I have found with this is to put in the dry 20 oz. bottle, put water in on top of it, put the cap back on the bottle, shake vigorously, throw into workout bag with another straight 20 oz. bottle of straight water and drive to gym. I usually shake and have a swig before hitting warm-ups, then walk back to the locker room between every exercise and shake and stir until it is dissolved, a process which generally takes 30 minutes. I don't mind the grittiness during the workout, as I use this not because of either the nature of how well it dissolves or tastes, but how well it works.

    How well it works is immediately apparent. While I got nothing out of it from the first sample, which I took pre-workout, taking this during the workout really helped the workout a great deal, particularly in endurance levels. It did not (and probably will not) heighten energy, but it enables various body parts to be worn down much less slowly, allowing you to work and hit them much harder.

    I also like the formula a great deal. EAAs + beta alanine, unbeatable, in my opinion, for during workout usage. Admittedly, I have used this strictly for lifting, but if I can figure out a good way to use this during cardio, I may incorporate it there, also. I may also try it pre-cardio workout, to see how that does.

    Verdict:

    This is a staple for me and it's hard to think of a better endorsement than that. I think the combination of EAAs and beta alanine is a definite winner and this product will not be leaving my "normal/regular" list probably ever, unless Controlled Labs reformulates it and makes it junk, ala the VPX Redline RTDs.

It can also be stacked w/ additional synergistic ingredients or paired with effective carbohydrate supplementation to truly give a powerful addition to one's supplementation.

    My vote would definitely goes towards AEN's IntrAbolic. Not only do I think the product is of the highest quality, but it's also the most complete. I like the lack of stims such as caffeine as all to often people become dependent on them to make it through their day and their workouts. Eventually you become too tolerant and workouts can suffer. Not with IntrAbolic. From almost Day 1 to as long as you want to use it, Intrabolic keeps on working and continues to get better and better. I've used it and can honestly say it helped me not only with strength, but endurance as well. I continued to make weekly progress in both strength increases and endurance. If not for an injury I can only imagine how far I would have gotten. Add this with my other favorite, IntraXcell, and you've found the holy grail of intraworkout supplements. AEN is a top notch company with top notch products and I would highly suggest giving them a try.

    This is for the White Flood (electric lemonade), Purple Wraath (juicy grape and Green Magnitude (Sour Green Apple) (BIG TUBS)



    Price: 9/10for all 3 its a price you can't beat. It's been over a month since I've started this stack and still the PW/GM tubs are over half full and the WF is slowly running out. The initial price is high, but the products last a lot longer than most supps. Doesn't get a 10/10 because the PW is still priced kind of high as a product on it's own.

    Mixability:
    WF/GM get 10/10 mixed together everything is fine, don't even really need a spoon to mix in a cup

    PW 7/10 best to use with a shaker, really hard to mix it well enough with a spoon without having clumps (and they taste nasty)


    Taste: 10/10 for GM/WF combo, first time i tried this stack and didn't mix them together (WF is likea 6/10 on it's own) but together its delicious

    8/10 for PW, i don't crave the flavor everytime i go to the gym, but its just fine to sip and last througout my workout (don't have to chug it)

    Effects:
    WF: GREAT pump, i use 2 scoops usually, but when used with other stims (T-booster or fat burner) i use 1-1.5 scoops. MANY times I have been tired and not really wanting to go to the gym but once i get the WF in me I'm ready to crush weight.

    PW: it's probably going to be a staple for my stacks for now on, IF I CAN afford it. But yea the endurance I get with PW is amazing. I have never been "exhausted" leaving the gym and if you look at my logs I work my a$$ off. It's also AWESOME to use during sports training and I wish I had tried it earlier. And the tingling feeling is a sweet feeling (don't get it all the time, depends on when I ate last)

    GM: awesome creatine product that isn't just creatine mono. I actually liked the results from Size-on better, however the price/serving of GM is unbeatable and that is why I use it


    Would I recommend this stack to someone else? Yes and have done many times

    hope this was what everyone was looking for in a review as it was my first one. will look into doing more in the future

    After all the good reviews concerning Purple Wraath, I decided to give it a try and see what it could bring me. As of 19/03/08 I'm on half the 2lbs tub and I must say I'm pretty impressed with this product.

    Taste: [9/10] - I'm not a big fan of grape flavored products but I must say that I really dig the taste of PW. Actually it is not bad at all, comparing to people who complained about it (might have been older version though). I think I have the v3. Make sure you give Lemonade a try (coming soon).

    Mixability: [7/10] - 1 1/2 scoop in 20oz of water. Shake. Let it sit for 15 minutes in the fridge. Most particules disolved but still some white/black parts floating around or sitting at the bottom of the bottle. Not bothering me though.

    Endurance: [8/10] - Seen a difference in training, wasn't that sore after a hard session. I must admit that the best was at doing cardio. I used to hate cardio but on PW, I did 45 minutes and in all honesty, could have go on again. Wasn't even tired!

    Price: [10/10] - Very decent price. CL has pretty cheap products when you think of it, 50 bucks for 2lbs might last you about 3 months. Way to go!

    Overall: [8.5/10] - I will definitely consider buying PW again after my first tub. Even bought one for my training partner and likes it too! After a few days, I started to get the tingling because of BA in my legs. A week later, it was mainly in my face. What makes it worse though is when I train early in the morning. The cold weather in Canada makes my face hitchy like crazy, but I can live with it! Hope this review helped some of you undecided folks on either giving it a try or not.

    Energy- It's sort of like a sustained energy while i take it, it pretty much puts the nuts and bolts back together when im working out.

    Overall 10/10- I love this product! and I look forward to being a loyal customer of their other products!, I wanna try Green Mag

I've heard nothing but good comments about Purple Wraath and Green Magnitude, so I was pretty excited to try the stuff today.



    Green Magnitude Review (apple): Mixed the sample pack into a shaker cup filled with water 30 mins pre-workout. It mixed very well and when it came to the taste I must say that at first sip I found it very sweet, but than after I took a few more sips I started to like the flavor.

    Purple Wraath Review (lemonade):
    Mixed the sample pack into a 2 litre jug of water that I bring to the gym. It mixed great, no issues regarding it mixing with water. I sipped it throughout my workout and must say that I REALLY like the taste of this! I could definitely see myself drinking it on OFF days as well as weight/cardio days.

    My workout:
    Today I did Chest/Shoulders. First thing I'm going to say is that I had GREAT pumps!!!!!! I'm not sure what it was, maybe the Beta-Alanine, but the pumps I had were very good. I didn't get any tingles from the Beta-Alanine, maybe because I had it mixed with a 2 liter bottle of water. Energy/endurance was also great and I must say I was very pleased with this product. Although today I was at the gym a little longer than usual, sipping Purple Wraath throughout I feel gave me great energy to get through it.

    I am currently finishing up my tub of SuperPump250 and SizeOn (both great products) and now am really thinking of going with the Controlled Labs Stack.

    Overall I really liked both products and will most likely be picking up some Purple Wraath (lemonade flavor) in my order tommorow which I'll use on CARDIO and OFF days. The servings of Green Mag / Purple Wraath are great as well for the money.

    Thanks Controlled Labs for the samples as well as making some solid products!

    First up...

    Purple Wraath!



    This summer my two main goals were to make a lot of money and get in top physical shape for college. Training with a powerlifting routine three days a week (5x5) and also starting Mauy Thai twice a week, I needed a solid product to help with recovery, energy and focus. That's why I chose Purple Wraath. Excellent taste, mix ability, and best of all: the results. I love being able to take two scoops for an one hour session of Mauy Thai and then two hours later not being sore and then lifting. That's also why I chose to buy a second tub.

    Mixability: 10/10
    Taste: 10/10
    Recovery: 10/10

    overall: eleventy billion/30


    Green Magnitude


    Before ordering GM, I was using a cheap monohydrate creatine. It was very effective, but caused my stomach to become gaseous. I was fine with this at first, but my friends weren't. I bought GM and it has been a great supplement to my training and diet. Very solid product and I haven't been expelling nasty, smelling gas (excess that's because I'm still a human).

    Taste: 10/10
    Mix-ability: 9/10
    Strength: 10/10

    Overall: 29/30


    White Flood



    A more controversial product that I bought a few months ago. I don't take is on a schedule like I do with green magnitude or purple wraath, because I don't have a high tolerance. I will usually take 1 to 1.5 scoops and that triggers my "kill" mode. The energy is unparalleled, and even better: I get work done after the gym. I've probably cranked out two, 5 page papers while jacked on this. However, I cannot say how much of a "pump" I get while taking this before the gym compared to not consuming it before working out.

    Taste: 10/10
    Mixability: 8/10
    Energy: 10/10
    Pumps: N/A

    Overall: 28/30


    *An interesting note about white flood. Many people complain about GM causing stomach problems but I have never had any problems from GM. White is what cleans out my colon. Whenever I take WF in between meals, I always have to go to the toilet. Don't know why, but I thought I'd point this out.

    Sample reviews to come later! GOTTA GO!
    Originally Posted by Joeyw88 View Post

    Purple Wraath(Lemonade Flavored):
    Let me start off with......Holy S***. I used this pre/during workout and I was able to bust out a few more reps than I normally do. The flavor was a lot better than I was expecting....kinda like a sour ish lemon. Also, I really like the tingling it gives me, kinda nice to know that it works right away haha.

    GreenMAG:
    I took this right after my workout (same day as Purple Wraath) along with the usual protein. It tasted pretty good, also somewhat sour but a nice apple flavor. I did not experience much an effect because it is creatine and what not. However, the next day I felt/looked a bit fuller in my chest and also DOMS was not as bad as it usually is.

    Conclusion: I think that once I'm finished with my current stack, I am most likely going to get a tub of Purple Wraath and GreenMAG and see how that works out.

    P.S- Thanks again CL for the free samples....keep making good products!!!

    In my view, it really depends on what type of workout. If it is a Cardio workout, Purple Wraath kicks the **** out of everything out there, at least that I've tried so far. If it is a Lifting workout, IntrAbolic is so far ahead of everything else, they might as well call it the Best Overall IntrAbolic Supplement and then get everyone to fight over which flavor is best...

    My vote is for IntrAbolic. Felt big difference while working out with it than without it. I see that this thread is going to turn into an IntrAbolic vs. Purple Wraath popularity thread.

    AEN's IntrAbolic FTW :





    IntrAbolic by AEN is a winner :


    Well where do i start with this one......
    I knew this product was going to be good as i have had good results from the IntraXcell and the Steel Edge but i didn't think it was going to be as good as it is.

    To start with however the taste to me was a little bitter and not too good. I experimented a little with different amounts of water and scoop sizes and once i got this to my liking i really started to enjoy the flavour and now it is very refreshing through the workouts.

    Throughout the couple of months of using the IntrAbolic my workouts have improved each and everytime and started to hit PB again. My stamina, endurance and overall strength increased quite dramatically over this time too. My Recovery times decreased and so felt as though i could hit the gym harder everytime.
    I did however feel that the DOM's felt deeper within the muscle after the workouts and put this down to the IntrAbolic allowing me to push my self more throughout the workouts and so work the muscles harder. This been said however even though they felt deeper and a little more sore they only felt like this for the same length of time as i was before using the IntrAbolic, So it must have helped with recovery to get me back to the same level even though the DOM's where deeper.

    I initialy used this for resistance training only but then incorporated it into my Cardio regime and my endurance improved quite dramatically. I started doing something called Commando Cardio twice a week also and used the IntrAbolic for this and it brought my times down drastically each time i did it until i got to the point i was doing the session within 35 mins (from a start time of 50 mins within only a few weeks) with a recommended time of 40 mins.

    My overall view of the IntrAbolic is Excellent and the best Intra workout supplement i have used so far. It is now part of the Family and will be for a long time i'm sure.

    This got a BIG 10/10 from me and still feel there is nothing out there at the moment to match it.

    If you have a dairy allergy like me, or you are a vegan, then i think Core ABC is your best option behind Intrabolic. Even if you arent they are very comprable.

    You get 10 grams of BCAA's per serving in ABC versus 8 grams of EAA's in Intrabolic. This does not include the AA's you get from Intrabolic's 7 grams of protein however, and both ABC and Intrabolic have a full 5g of free form Leucine per serving. The one thing ABC definitly has the edge on though is the fact that it has 2.5 grams of citrulline malate per serving. CM is a solid supplement that has improved many of my workouts. I also don't like the Vit C and E in intrabolic because preliminary studies have shown C may decrease atheltic performance when taken around a workout. As far as the E I simply dont want anymore than is in my multi (30 IU so intrabolic would double it) as having too much supplemental E over time may be unhealthy. However the amounts of both C and E in Intrabolic are likely insignificant.

    Finally of note:Intrabolic does boast slightly more BA per serving (3.2g versus 2.5g in ABC)and electrolytes, but ABC has 2.5 grams of free form glutamine per serving (a controversial supplement I know but one that seems to help me, although i wouldnt pay for it by itself as it has shown to be seemingly worthless in most studies).

    So because of my allergy ABC is an easy choice, however if you don't have an allergy you really cant go wrong either way.
    Peace and Love

    Solid feedback and well thought out post. But remember, your body needs ALL the essential amino acids to build muscle, NOT just the bcaa's. IntrAbolic contains ALL the EAA's from the whey protein hydrolysate, plus the additional 8grams of free-form amino -acids, again including ALL the EAA, except tryptophan, which is in the whey protein hydrolysate. ONE serving of IntrAbolic contains 15grams of amino-acids, including all the EAA's.

    Additionally,the short chain peptides(di-and tripeptides) that make up 70-80% of the the custom whey protein hydrolysate we use, are absorbed even faster than free-form amino acids, due to their gut transport system having a greater capacity than the free-form amino-acids transporters. Also, very interestingly, recent research has shown, that peptides, can actually increase the uptake of free-form amino-acids, making the combo the optimal choice for both speed of absorption and practicality, both of which you want DURING your workout. Yes, just another aspect of IntrAbolic, that separates it from ANY other, "somewhat' comparable formula and I use the the term somewhat, very loosely.

    The research you allude to regarding AO's, is megadosing single AO's, i.e Vit C and is nothing like they are being used here, or relevant to IntrAbolic's formula. At this point, I think most of us know, it's not good to mega-dose single antioxidants regardless.

    Regarding Citrulline malate, see my below previous comments.

    For the internet, keyboard warrior,looking to increase their typing endurance, this study is quite relevant and could be very useful But for the typical gym rat, likely, not so much, atleast I hope.

    The other study, showed improvement on aerobic performance on one test.

    Now, I'm not saying CM is useless by any means, I would just like to see even ONE human performance study like we see with creatine, Beta-alanine, caffeine ect before we would base a product around it.

    I know the common recommendation on bb.com is to say, take CM with beta-alanine, as they are good together. But I think if alot of these same people actually looked at CM's research and realized how weak it was, they may not hold CM in such high regard and be so fast to automatically recommend it when ever someone says they are using BA. It CERTAINLY isn't in the same league as creatine or beta-alanine at this point. Obviously the recent trend for many sup companies, is to throw CM in with BA. From a marketing standpoint it's likely a good idea, but from an efficacious standpoint, who knows at this point.

    The core of our products are designed around ingredients that are strongly supported by research and shown to be effective in increasing performance. You wont see us jumping all over the most recent trendy ingredients, so we can have it on our label. So, at this point, until we see stronger research on CM, we wont likely be using it anytime soon.

    Having said all that, atleast on bb.com, the anecdotal feedback on CM is pretty good and in NO way do I discredit this type of feedback. But, we still need more than anecdotal feedback to base a product around an ingredient, but it can certainly be used as an adjunct ingredient.
    Lastly due to they whey protein hyrdolysate we use, being extensively hydrolyzed, 70-80% di-and tripeptides, it's largely considered hypoallergenic, due to the microfractions of whey that cause allergies being broken down, into short chain di-and tripeptides. Actually extensively hydrolyzed whey is often used in infant formula's for children that have milk allergies.

    NO

    In that quote CM is Citrulline Malate

    as you can see by the last part of that quote, he is NOT saying anything against creatine mono, also if you read his whole post you would see the sentence right before the quote you took from his post says "
    Regarding Citrulline malate, see my below previous comments.
    "

    so many people bustingnuts over intrabolic.. craziness. ..

    I enjoy purple wraath --- aminos get the job done intraworkout, and it is very cost affordable, especially since CL does sales routinely on most of their product line.

    the earlier versions sucked horrible in taste, but i drank it anyway. and since they made newer ones, its pretty good in taste...i duno, thats not very important to me... it gives results assuming your training and nutrition are in align which is what matters most

    intrabolic might be good and all, but at the price I wouldn't bother with it. i will hit up the free samples though, just because I always do whenever possible. wait, i just checked the link, its not really a free sample, you want me to write a review and all that..so its not really totally 100% free (time = money, you want a review, give an entire tub, not a sample.. besides, how do you get an effective review form 2 workouts? rediculous.. good marketing scheme tho fyi, lots of people at bb.com will gooble it up, i believe bodybuilders may be more naive that most athletes when it comes to PED's)


    anywhooo, aminos intra workout all the way. purple wraath, xtend, bulk amino powder, whatever. its all relative, and cost efficient.

    well said and thanks for your feedback. no reason to spend more than twice as much (per gram of active ingredient) on some products when purple wraath is already amazing

    IntrAbolic has 2-3x the amount of amino-acids per serving and is a different formula, that is why it costs more per serving.

    LOL, those are FREE samples for anyone and just like any company on here offering free samples, we appreciate a review. No review is required though. If the few mins it takes to write a review costs you that much money, than you must be a busy/important man and likely don't even need a free sample.

    So, are you suggesting, we shouldn't offer free samples, eventhough we got tons of requests for them since 2007?


    Take a look at the most respected board members feedback on IntrAbolic(first couple threads), there's a reason why it has the reputation is does.

    good luck with your career... with post as ignorant as these, you will need it.

    you are wrong in so many ways with what you say... AEN has given out a ridiculous amount of tubs for people to review already and given the quality and cost of IntrAbolic a sample is well worth the quick few minutes to write a review unless you are keyboard illiterate.

    sorry, but posts like yours are simply unintelligent and ingnorant to reality.

    simply not true, but since you brought it up, here is the comparison:


    intrabolic
    aminos = 160 grams
    protein = 140 grams
    ba = 64 grams

    36 dollars per 20 servings = 9.9 cents per gram of actives


    purple wraath
    aminos = 630 grams
    ba+cm+goodies = 243 grams

    51 dollars per 90 servings = 5.8 cents per gram of actives


    thus making intrabolic 71% more expensive than purple wraath

    I wasn't being specific to your product actually, but yes, your price comparison is fine.


    IntrAbolic is 4 CENTS more per gram of active and you are getting a FULL spectrum of ALL the essential amino-acids needed to build muscle, you are getting a custom over 30% hydrolyzed whey protein, which was more expensive for us than free-form amino-acids. You get a KNOWN amount of leucine per serving[5g] and you get a KNOWN amount of beta-alanine per serving {3.2g}

    To the consumer, ask yourself is that is worth 4cents more per gram of active? To some it is, to some perhaps it isn't.

    Regardless, IntrAbolic offers exceptional value for what is contains.
