Envy's take on Southland Performance GlycoMyx

[Elliptical Envy]

GlycoMyx (tm) is the new high-performance, glycemically advanced carbohydrate source by Southland Performance Products. Using a special blend of High-Anthocyanin Purple Sweet Potato Powder, Whole grain powdered oats, and Glucomannan, GlycoMyx(tm) offers the ideal source of carbs for uses as varied as preworkout, meal-replacement, and post workout replenishment. GlycoMyx(tm) helps contribute to healthy cholesterol levels, and offers a filling nutrient-dense option perfect for positive body composition effects. The Anthocyanin content helps maintain a healthy vascular response to NO, and provides for incredible muscle fullness and pumps.

Ingredients: High-Anthocyanin Purple Sweet Potato Powder, Whole oat powder, Glucomannan (konjac).

Serving size: 50g (70cc)
Servings per container: 18

Carbohydrates: 39g
Fiber: 7g

I'm a total fan of the label as it is not a maltodextrin or waxy maize starch carb supplement. Whenever a carb supplement is discussed on this forum people normally say "use ground oats" or something of that nature, so the inclusion of whole oat powder is a plus. Finally, the 7 grams of fiber doesn't hurt one bit.

Taste - I tasted the powder straight from the tub and it tastes pretty "earthy" to me. I really have a hard time describing the flavor (because it is unflavored perhaps, lol), but it isn't good nor is it bad. I've only used it mixed with lemon cream pie 2.0 and it does not overpower the taste of the shake at all. The two flavors actually work pretty well together.

Texture - The powder is dense, but it mixes easily in a regular shaker bottle or a Blender Bottle. I barely even notice it there when I mix it with 2:1 milk to water and a scoop or a scoop and a half of protein powder. I do prefer the mouth feel of this to ground oat powder, because it does not thicken the shake as much.

Satiety - This is one of the best aspects of GlycoMyx in my opinion. I feel full after consuming this as an MRP, but I don't feel like I can't eat for 4-5 hours like I would with ground oats and protein. I really like to use this as my first meal of the day so it's good to be able to eat again a few hours later if I want to.

Verdict - I highly recommend this product for those who regularly purchase carb supplements. I'm not sure of the final cost of the product, but if it is priced under $18, then it will be a pretty good value. I'm sure I will keep GlycoMyx in my arsenal for quite a while (especially because it turns my drink purple).

I'll have to update this thread with a label and a few photos later on. I'll throw a few more updates when I use this around workout or cardio time.

Good stuff. I would reduce preworkout dosage to a half a scoop about 45 minutes prior. You will definitely notice it, big time.

I'll give that a try. I was going to go for a full scoop, but that would probably sit in my stomach a tad bit too long. GlycoMyx pre and Vendetta intra will be a liquid carb lovers dream.

A full scoop was definitely too much for me. GlycoMyx truly shines in its vascular response enhancement...especially when combined with Agmatine and/or citrulline malate.

Good review Envy, I may have to give this a shot once my WMS tub is finished.

I'm sure I have some of that stuff here in my supplement box. Vengeance will be used and abused very soon.

Go for it!

I must be out of the loop on this one... So it's no longer a Genomyx product?

Matt are you teaming with Southland now?

Yes, to save the hassle, I believe Protocol and Slin Sane are the only remaining Genomyx products. They will be adding more shortly but the majority are with Southland now.

It's going to be funny seeing new all over the place.. when it's really not


Either way, I also enjoyed Glycemyx.. err, Glycomyx

There is an official statement issued that I can't really comment further on. My self, my services, and my formulations are now either under my own control (Flawless Skin Couture, Thermogenesauce, etc) or released/releasing through SOuthland Performance Products (SPP.)

Hey hey, I'm glad you posted the label. I'll have an update today once I finish some errands. Dsade, if I want to use this in water pre-workout how much water should I use with a 1/2 scoop of Glycomyx?

no pictures ? negged

My cell phone camera does not function I guess I could use my digital camera, but I'd have to use one of those image hosting sites.

10-12 ounces for a half scoop...and drink it quickly. The longer it sits the more moisture it picks up and thickens.

Well, the labels ARE glossy for easy cleanup.

Update for the day - took a 1/2 scoop of Glycomyx along with some protein pre-workout instead of Vendetta and I didn't notice the substitution. The energy was there just as if I took Vendetta and it was light on my stomach. I'll give this a go before cardio tomorrow (I hate cardio even though my name is elliptical envy) I'm still pretty darn happy with Glycomyx. I really like it as an additive to my morning protein shake the most though.

Edit - I failed to touch on something yesterday. I did notice some great pumps and vascular dialation using Glycomyx pre-workout, but I also took Vengeance so it could have been a combination of both. I'll find a different pre-workout product so it doesn't skew things. It has been a while since I've used Vengeance so I can't remember if things were enhanced or not. Round two should be tomorrow.

My phone camera is fixed so I can finally take pictures. I was powerless without my phone camera. I don't know of a decent image hosting website to use though.

I still use Photobucket, honestly. Imgur is also a good one.

[Elliptical Envy]

Gotta postpone this review until after I get over this stomach virus I have. As much as I love GlycoMyx, I just don't see myself using it right now. I'll be back in action and continuing this review as soon as possible.
