There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Working out for 2+ hours at a time takes a toll on my body. Before I started taking this product, I felt like the last half of my workout was a struggle. Now that I've started taking this, I feel like I can finish my workouts with energy to spare.
The serving size for this is 2/3 a cup. There is NOT a scoop included. (though you probably have a scoop laying around that would be close to 1/4 or 1/3)
Don't do what I did and stick your hand all the way down in this looking for one... you won't find it, and your hand will be covered in white powder.
My favorite mixture now is to do the following:
Mix in pre workout with water in a 24oz bottle. Drink half of my pre workout, add 1/3 a cup of this to my remaining pre workout, and top off with water. This way I am sipping on a lower dose of caffeine while also getting some much needed carbs throughout my workouts. I noticed an increase in muscle size after only a few weeks of drinking this in the gym (probably because I could get more quality sets in late into my workout)
This mixes quite well into any beverage, and doesn't have any sort of taste (at least none that I could sense).
It MIGHT make your drink slightly more viscous/thick, but it wasn't enough to really notice much. (I mix 1/3 a cup into 24 oz of water. This is half the recommended serving, but I think it's enough to get me through)
I like this because it is an easily broken down source of carbs, so you can quickly replace your glycogen levels throughout a workout.
I have not yet tried taking this as a mass gainer, so I can't comment on whether or not it helps with weight gain. However I can imagine this would work quite well, as you can drink your calories (drinking is always much easier than eating, especially for hard-gainers)
I would recommend this product to anyone who is looking for an extra edge in their longer workouts. If you only do a light workout for 45 minutes, you probably don't need this. However, if you like to go hard in the gym for 1:30-2 hours, I would highly recommend adding this as an intra workout drink.
I would give this product a 5/5. It mixes well, gives me the fuel I need to make it through my workouts, and doesn't leave me crashed at the end.
Pros:
Good “lack of flavor”
Reasonable serving size
Just carbohydrate and nothing funky (no artificial sweetener or Creatine)
Cons:
Clumpy, so a blender is really important
The sealing strip on the bag version isn’t that great
I highly recommend this product
PROS: It mixes really well with my shakes (usually fruit, greek yogurt and oats and whole milk), cheap and no weird flavor
CONS: none for me (if anything it can add a little sweetness to your shakes so just keep that in mind)
I'd recommend it if you need to boost up your calorie intake without feeling bloated and while saving money instead of using mass gainers.
Pro: There is a TON of carbo fuel here. This container is colossal.
The flavor is mostly neutral, neither sweet or unnatural.
Con: However. When I put it into the water in my sports bottle, some of it dissolves and some of it congeals into a sticky blob that is difficult for me to get dissolved any further.
I won't be a repeat customer for this particular carbo fuel.
