BCAA 3300 - Timed Release Review

BCAA 3300 - Timed Release
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
If you're looking into BCAA supplementation then you most likely already know the benefits. I started taking these on week 4/8 of my workout plan (currently on Wk7) and the most obvious effect is my recovery time. I'm not sore for as long as I was before supplementing these BCAAs. The 4:1:1 ratio is interesting to say the least, I'm not too sure if it's THAT much better than the usual 2:1:1 ratio but I do feel more confident taking them. My diet and training are great at the moment so I'm gaining weight consistently and I feel that the BCAA supplementation really helps with recovery and maintaining mass. On leg days I have 3 servings (3rd one before bed)instead of 2 because I try to hit legs hard twice a week. I'm still pretty sore in the morning but at least I'm not crippled haha.

This will easily be a staple to stack along with Orange Triad. The Orange Triad/OxiMega combo is the best gift you could give your body in my opinion. As with the other CL products, I think they certainly deliver on quality yet again. For a greens product,the taste is about as good as it gets... definitely a strong spearmint flavor. Don't let the appearance scare you away. Mixes easily, no clumps. HIGHLY recommend with 2 thumbs up!

Optimum Nutrition ZMA Review

Optimum Nutrition ZMA
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Ahh, ZMA. The famed all-natural sleep and recovery aid for bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts. According to most supplement companies, it also increases free testosterone levels, though many studies show that this may not be true. Halfway through a bottle, here's what I've found:
Sleep - This stuff definitely knocks you out. If you take it as directed, 30-60 minutes before bed on an empty stomach, it hits you harder than "The Itis" after a Luther burger (Boondocks reference). You sleep excellently, too, and if you have to get up for any reason, you can easily fall back asleep afterwards. Some people say you have crazy dreams, but I don't ever remember mine, and that hasn't changed since I started taking ZMA. People also claim you wake up feeling awesome and ready to go, but so far I just wake up groggy as ever.
Recovery - This is sorta hard to judge, but my muscles do feel as though they are recovering faster after each workout since I started taking this stuff. Not quite as much soreness, either.
Testosterone - I actually think, despite some studies, that ZMA does have an effect on your testosterone production. I have read other reviews that say ZMA causes acne outbreaks, and I have observed this same thing over the past couple weeks. I don't think it's coincidence that soon after I started taking ZMA I'd randomly have recurring acne outbreaks that definitely weren't as bad before (I'm 19, by the way). But I'm no quitter, so I'm just going to finish this bottle and hope things go back to normal afterwards (there are other reasons I think this influences testosterone as well...see review title).
Other than the sleep, and some possible effects this supplement has had on my muscle tone/size (though there's no way to verify this), this stuff really isn't too fantastic. I gave it 5 stars though because it does what it claims to do. I won't be buying another bottle (unless I have a bad run of insomnia or something) any time soon, but if good sleep and recovery sounds good to you, I say go for it. Most people also have a daily magnesium deficiency, but if you take a good multi like I do you don't have to worry about this as much.

BIOTEST SPIKE RTD SHOTGUN 16oz, 24 Count Review

BIOTEST SPIKE RTD SHOTGUN 16oz, 24 Count
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Let me first state that I am a sugar free energy drink JUNKIE. I've had just about every sugar free drink under the sun, and there is absolutely no doubt that Biotest's Spike Shotgun is the undisputed king of them all. Many people don't like that "mechanical" taste you often get with most energy drinks. Spike Shotgun doesn't have that. This tastes better than most sugary sodas in general, let alone energy drinks.
Please though, DO heed the warning label on these cans. Never consume more than 2 within a 24 hour period, as this is some pretty intense stuff (probably a good rule of thumb with any energy drink though). And given how good it tastes, you'll definitely be tempted to. It's that good.

Now Foods, Zinc Picolinate 50 mg Review

Now Foods, Zinc Picolinate 50 mg
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)

WHAT'S IT GOOD FOR?
According to "HEALTHNOTES" Zinc is beneficial for the following conditions in descending alphabetical order;
Acne, Acrodermatitis enteropathica, Childhood intelligence (for deficiency), Common cold/sore throat (as lozenges), Down's syndrome, Infertility (male), Night blindness (for deficiency), Wilson's disease, Wound healing (oral and topical),
Anemia (for thalassemia if deficient), Anorexia nervosa, Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder, Birth defects prevention, Canker sores (for deficiency only), Celiac disease (for deficiency), Cold sores (topical), Common cold (as nasal spray), Crohn's disease
Diabetes (preferably for those with a documented deficiency), Genital herpes, Gingivitis, Halitosis (zinc chloride rinse or toothpaste), Hepatitis C (zinc-L-carnosine), HIV support, Immune function, Infection, Liver cirrhosis, Macular degeneration, Peptic ulcer, Pregnancy support, Rheumatoid arthritis, Sickle cell anemia, Skin ulcers, Sprains and strains (if deficient), Tinnitus (for deficiency only), Warts,
Amenorrhea, Athletic performance, Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), Contact dermatitis, Cystic fibrosis, Dermatitis herpetiformis (for deficiency), Diarrhea, Ear infections (recurrent), Gastritis, Gestational hypertension, Goiter, Hypoglycemia, Hypothyroidism,
Insulin resistance syndrome (Syndrome X), Osgood-Schlatter Disease, Osteoarthritis (in combination with boswellia, ashwagandha, and turmeric), Osteoporosis, Pre- and post-surgery health, Preeclampsia, Prostatitis
WHY THIS ZINC?
This is the right Zinc [Picolinate] if you have trouble absorbing enough of it through other means of ingestion or forms of zinc. Being in capsules elininates the need for binders so this is a really good way to get zinc in the ideal and most bio-available picolinate form which is so useful if you have an Inflamatory Bowel Disease or malabsorption problems.
50 mg. per capsule is the ideal dose for most men though a bit heavy for women. Most vendors only carry the smaller of the two bottle sizes [60 or 120 capsules] but "AMAZON" carries both, so we save a little by getting the larger bottle. "NOW" is an excellent brand with a track record of stellar quality control.

Phenibut Powder Review

Phenibut Powder
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Being a chronic insomniac I have tried many things:
-Melatonin
-Nytol
-Ambien
-Lunesta
-St. Johns Wort
-and just about every herbal concoction on the market
Phenibut hands down beats them all.
Pros
-Works!
- Fights even the most insomniac nights
Cons
-Takes 2-3 hours to kick in
- Loses effect after about a week (simply use 1 week on, one week off)
This product has put me to sleep without fail. I frankly don't know why it isn't well known. The only downside I see is that it takes a couple hours to kick in... but when it does you are out.

MHP Probolic-SR, 4-Pounds Review

MHP Probolic-SR, 4-Pounds
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I think this product is great, it has both fast, medium and slowly digesting proteins in it. The medium digesting protein is soy, and many people choose to stay away from it because of it's estrogenic effects, however many studies now show that soy is perfectly fine to use, and actually has many many good health benefits (lower cholesterol, higher levels of arginine, etc). You should do your research before you choose to take a product that includes soy, I will say that my conclusion is that it is just fine.
The actual performance gains coming from this were actually quite good, I definitely had some good performance improvements at the gym when using this product.
The taste of this protein was actually pretty good for me, I actually liked the taste of this protein more than Optimum Nutrition 100% whey.
Now the downside: WAY too expensive. By these prices right now, this is actually as much as 30-40% more expensive than Optimum Nutrition. This is the reason why I stay away from it, it may be a good product, but it's pricing doesn't make it competitive with 100% whey product.

SOMATOMAX 20 SERVING Review

SOMATOMAX 20 SERVING
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I'm the type of person that doesn't function well unless I've had a good 8 hours rest. But, I've always had problems falling asleep and remaining asleep. In fact, it probably led to a little bit of a drinking problem, because I found the only way to effectively shut my brain off at night was to have a few drinks. But, then you wake up feeling like crap. Plus I enjoy living a healthy lifestyle, and drinking is conducive to that end.
About 2 years ago I found a product called Somatomax. I wouldn't tell you to try this without recommending you do some research. I don't like taking anything I don't have to, so I researched the crap out of it. I can say that I haven't noticed any side effects from taking this regularly, but time will tell.
Somatomax is basically a product that stimulates your brain to release Human Growth Hormone. HGH promotes sleep, and is naturally occurring in your body, but declines with age. This product doesn't contain any HGH (that would be illegal), but it does stimulate the natural production in your pituitary gland. There is a lot of information on HGH online, so do some research, and talk to your doctor.
There are other HGH stimulators on the market, and some you can find at GNC or Health Food Stores. Somatomax (by Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals) is the only one I've tried because I've had great results with it.
If you decide to try it, here's what I found works for me:
First of all, START SMALL! I can't stress this enough. The recommended does (1 scoop) looks to be about a heaping tablespoon. Start off with 1/4 a scoop. I didn't do that because I was dumb and had the mantra, the more the better. Not in this case. I took half a scoop and got about 6 hours of sleep, and woke up feeling sort of drunk. A couple of cups of coffee took care of that, but it was a really strange feeling. After a few days of taking Somatomax that feeling went away. Give it two weeks for your body to adjust, then increase the amount you take. I've been taking it (off and on) for 2 years, and I still don't take a full scoop. A 20 serving container lasts me a month and a half.
I recommend taking it Sunday - Thursday, then skip it on the weekends. Also, skip it if you've had more than a few drinks. Again, you'll wake up feeling drunk.
What I hope you'll notice is this: After a week of taking it, you'll find you don't need as much sleep. I know I function best on 8 hours, but I can get away with 6 when taking Somatomax. You also sleep deeper. You hit REM much faster and dream more. I had some crazy dreams at first, and I'm not normally the type of person who remembers dreaming. But, that doesn't happen any more. Now, I feel more alert throughout the day. And, before, I had trouble falling asleep, or napping, even if I was majorly exhausted. Now, i can nap almost any time! I love that. A 10 minute nap is a beautiful thing. I just feel better all around.

Source Naturals L-Glutamine 500mg Review

Source Naturals L-Glutamine 500mg
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This product is a fairly easy to swallow tablet with 500mg of glutamine per tab. However, I was a little put off by the fact that it contains, in addition to the usual binders, sorbitol. Why is this sweetener needed in this tablet? It tastes like nothing and I think its really unnecessary. Next time I am going to try to find another product that comes in a capsule or one without sorbitol. Some people take several grams so even if its a small amount it can add up.
To be honest, I dont know for sure if sorbitol is harmful or not. However, I have Crohn's Disease, so id like to keep as many unnecessary ingredients out of my digestive tract as possible. Ive been having gas lately and I dont know if I can attribute it to these pills. Consequently, I always feel a reservation every time I go to take these tablets, especially since I would prefer to take several of them, several times per day.
Since dosages are often high, being several grams at a time, it gets a little tedious taking 500mg tablets. Im going to look for 1000mg capsules next time, as generally, capsules are easier to absorb.
I have little doubt about the actual purity and quality of the ingredients, I just wish there were less binders. A simple vegetarian capsule is nice and simple.

Scivation Xtend Refreshing Blue Raspberry 418-Grams Review

Scivation Xtend Refreshing Blue Raspberry 418-Grams
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I use USP products a lot, but I'm getting tired of the same flavors. Then I got an suggestion of this product by Amazon. I had never heard of it before. Comparatively cheaper than USPlabs Modern Bcaa, White Blue Raspberry, 15-Ounce (my favorite BCAA) with Subscribe and Save.
Here are my pros:
1. This stuff mixes up like a dream in comparison to other BCAA products. I find myself going back to this for BCAA's throughout the day just because it doesn't require as much vigilant shaking for it to fully dissolve.
2. Tastes great! I'll put this on par with any other "berry" flavored BCAA mix. I don't have any problems drinking this (taste-wise). If you like crystal light, kool-aid with light sugar, or any other branded drink mix, you'll have no problem with this. If you get a weird taste, add a little more. I do four full scoops in 24 oz water, as often as I want.... on the plus side... per fl oz, I'll bet this is cheaper than canned soda (don't quote me).
3. Pyridoxine HCL. Vitamin B6 for those of you that don't know what that is. Hearth healthy. I don't know why it's in here, but it is.
Here are my cons:
1. Artificial coloring (Red #40, Blue #1). There's no need for it. Scivation, if you read this, color the product label please and leave the coloring out of the product itself.
2. 2:1:1 BCAA mix. Compared to USP Lab's 8:1:1 ratio, this product falls short. Honestly, I'm getting BCAA's from so many other supplements, I don't think it makes a difference. It's just something to consider.
3. Sucralose. Take it or leave, it's hard to find anything good to say about sucralose or really any artificial low cal sweetener. Maybe someday, supplement makers will get on the ball with this, and start using stevia or xylitol. Until then, you just have to grin and bear it, because unsweetened BCAA's are jealous of how butt tastes. I mean that. If you don't believe me, go read my review of USP Labs Modern BCAA, Unflavored 12.3 oz (350 g). Ugh.
Anyhow, when I run out of this, I'll be picking up more. Maybe the larger tub if it's more cost effective.
