AfterGlow is a post workout recovery product. It is a blend of fast absorbing carbohydrates, protein and branched chain amino acids to optimize the anabolic window. It is notorious for having an amazing taste, but the price is its only downfall.

 Finally got my hands on some AfterGlow (roughly 15 servings). Friend of mine was cycling off creatine and sold it to me for much below market price.
I have run all sorts of recovery drinks. (Aftershock, Torrent, 2:1:1). Currently I prefer Aftershock, but wanted to give this a fair shake.
How I ran it: I was skeptical on the ingredients due to only 20g of WPI and 36g of carbs. Ran this along side Gluta-lyn and the standard Kre-Alkalyn cycle. Also supplemented 10g of additional hydrowhey about 30 minutes after AfterGlow.
Effectiveness 10+: Recovery was amazing. Love the 2:1 ratio. Better than aftershock and 2:1:1. Can't think of a better product. Most notably on Leg split. Soreness is reduced. I think it can be attributed to the 2:1 ratio and a new ingredient that I wasn't too familiar with (phosphatidylserine 800mg). This ingredient is very expensive and reduces cortisol making it anti-catabolic. This had to be the item that makes this product work better than the other recovery drinks.
Taste 10+: All I can say is wow. The watermelon flavor is great. I thought tropical typhoon of Aftershock tastes great, well AfterGlow makes that taste like motor oil.
Value/Price 6: This is the huge and only downfall. Even with the great effectiveness, it can not be justified with the high price tag. Even with the phosphatidylserine in it (which adds about $30 per tub). I hope BioRhythm has the smarts to drop the price to more reasonable.
Conclusion 8.5: Overall I was really impressed with the results, however the price is a huge hurdle and one that can't be overlooked. My recommendation, if money is no object, check this out. Even if you don't use it as part of your standard cycle. Otherwise, Aftershock is a good alternative that provide close results.

| 1.) Yes, you can pre workout is fine to take con-cret
2)Yes you can add an extra scoop of protein. I wouldn't go over 40 total.
3.) This stuff is insanely expensive dude, I would recommend being in 2:1:1 |

 I recently ran into some money so I figured I would give this a try.
I can tell you that it is truly an effective product. The biggest upside to this product is the increased quality and speed of your post workout recovery. For example, after a serious chest workout I normally can't do chest again at peak performance for 4 more days. When taking this my recovery time was cut to 3 days. I'm not surprised by this because of the quality and the amount of the ingredients. I can't tell how many products are totally bogus in that they just sprinkle in some of an ingredient just to put in on the label. For example, Jack3d has creatine monohydrate in it but one whole scoop of jack3d is only 5.55g and the therapeutic dose of creatine monohydrate is roughly 5g's so this is just proving they put it in their to list it in their "Proprietary Blend". The point: Afterglow has a theraputic dose of all of its ingredients, and its ingredients are some top notch ones. For starters they use akg bcca's which absorb better and KreAlkalyn which is cut above your normal creatine. I also love the they say exactly how much of each your getting, this isnt your window dressed, "proprietary formula" over marketed crap.
The one main complaint I do have is the price!! at close to $70 for 2 lbs its almost cost prohibitive. I have found that it is much easier to buy the major ingredients myself and make my own afterglow. Grant it I do leave out some and my "version" is not as good as the actual afterglow but it is $35 dollars less and works about 80% as good.
Oh, and if your one of those people who is totally concerned with the taste, yes this product tastes good. But as I always say, if you buy a muscle building supp based on taste maybe your not cut out for building muscle, stick with your lays and pepsi lol.
The moral of my review is that yes this stuff does work. It offers extremely effective recovery and, in my opinion, substantial gains. If you have the money give it a whirl, if not order the main components and make it your self for half the price. good luck.

 By far the best tasting supp out there. I was on dark matter before and the taste and consistency made me want to hurl. This stuff is like drinking candy. Watermelon flavor i look forward to. As far as results, i take a lot of supps so hard to pin point but if you look at whats under the engine im sure it's delivering the the goods. Pricey but well worth it so far.

 Back when I really started taking my workouts more seriously my Junior year of college I went to the local vitamin store to get some protein, and the shop's owner recommended this stuff to me. I started taking it and not only did it give me a euphoric feeling, calmed me down, and most importantly I felt 100x better later in the day. My muscle fatigue was down and I could easily work out again later in the day.
It has always been the staple of my supplement regimen and for me nothing beats it. While it may seem expensive for some I've tried a few other Post-workouts and they just don't do it for me. The taste itself is also AMAZING, and you cannot beat the watermelon flavor...
All in all 10/10

 Good taste, No side effects. Have been using it for 6 weeks, Have gotten leaner with more stamina. Taken post workout it doesn't fill me up so I am ready to eat 1-2 hours later and keep the diet clean. Have taken Dark Matter with good result too, however AfterGlow just tastes better and doesn't upset my stomach at all. I train hard 5-6 days a week and keep my diet pretty clean adding AfterGlow into that really made a huge difference in my results.

| Bro you have to get more specific, this is a useless review that doesnt help anyone. Did you notice recovery? How much stronger did you become? What did you think of the ingredients? Did you stack this with anything? These are some of the topics you should be addressing when you write a review. |

| You are right and I will fix it now. Sorry was the first review.
Afterglow really helped with the recovery. normal I am very sore for 2-3 days after heavy training days taking it kept that minimal normally 1 day now with it which allows me to train just as hard all 5 days and get in full workouts on the majors muscle groups more often.
Stack- I used superpump max as a pre-workout. Afterglow directly post workout and Hydrowhey as a protein. Also, a really good diet.
Results- (weights)
Bench 205x10 to 225x10 x5 sets. And that is the difference for all exercises about in that range but that is specific. Endurance is huge, I can keep up with the workout to the end. Took the superpump on its own before adding the afterglow which has seemed to have a cumaltive effect the longer I am on it(afterglow not superpump). Even after taking break from prework as I am currently.
Body composition:
This is where the biggest difference has been. I was average 190lb guy with good shape. After six weeks on the after with a the same approach to weight training everyone is amazed at how ripped I am at 189lbs. Back wider with definition. body just seems to have a much bigger and better fullness to it.
But I enjoy the watermelon tatse and have felt no side effect from it.
Again sorry about the vague review before. This is a awesome product and I didn't did it justice with that review. Thanks for pointing that out. Good look and hope this cleans that up some. |

 Of all the recovery drinks and pills I've taken, this is by FAR the best. I used to weight lift and then went through two rounds of P90X before starting the INSANITY! workout. AfterGlow tastes great and works PERFECTLY. My recovery is faster and I feel no pain every time I take it after a workout. The taste is good, but it takes a while for it to totally dissolve when mixing and has a tendency to foam up, a lot. I would highly recommend this product, but really wish it was so damned expensive.

 A friend of mine tried telling me the other day that all whey proteins are the same. It's too bad that some people think like this. Not only is the the best tasting post-workout protein I've ever tasted (Watermelon), but it's the most complete post-workout protein I've ever seen. BioRhythm bases their ingredients on research only, not what the current market trends say. Current market trends say 30 grams of protein and no carbs make a great protein shake. Research says your muscles need fast acting carbs to prevent muscle catabolism, and to replenish glycogen, so that your muscles can grown in an anabolic state. I'm not going to go into detail on everything that is in this post-workout protein, but take the tame to research it yourself. BioRhythm-Ads.com. I get a 4.25 lb container shipped to my house for $70. The stuff is amazing. Yeah it's pricey, but you get what you pay for!

| BioRhythm is a big supporter of store fronts, like GNC and Absolute Nutrition, which is why you can't find it cheap on the internet. Email me at beta1n@yahoo.com and I'll be happy to hook you up. And yes, $70 for the 4.26lb. |

 I joined a fitness program at start of the year. Plyometrics/kettle bells/kickboxing/upper body/legs. I was fairly out of shape for 10 years before I started but had done weightlifting and cardio for 10 years before that. I've read all of the reviews here on this and mostly agree with all of them.
If you know your supplements you can probably get the same ingredients separately a lot cheaper. I'm not a lifetime bodybuilder who has the time invested to pursue that effort.
I was looking for a complete post workout with no thought effort and that's exactly what this is. I can push my workouts to total muscle failure instead of failing because I can't take the burn anymore in my muscles.
I feel I'm getting good recovery as I'm not very sore the next day even after going to complete failure on quads and can do it all over again 3 days later. My workouts are also getting Progressively harder and I'm keeping pace.
I have now finished 2 jugs of this stuff. I have increased muscle weight and lost body fat simultaneously during the last couple months. I had a lot of fat to lose so it wasn't hard.
After taking the product after an intense workout I get a tingling Sensation I can feel in my muscles. The taste is great (bazooka fruit). It mostly mixes well if you shake it good in a steel ball mixer cup.
There might be better ones out there but this works for me and the price isn't that bad when I called and ordered from sports nutrition.

 AfterGlow is by far the best post workout I have ever taken. The ingredient combination in this product are unprecidented! I lift nearly everyday of the week and I never feel tired or sore as long as I take this product. My favorite feature of it is the quality kre-aklyn creatine. Also, I like how it gives you 20g of protein right after a workout, then a hour or so later you can take your normal protein shake. It doesn't make you bloated or feel full either. I have used two tubs of the watermelon flavor and I still dont mind the taste. If you want faster recovery, which creates better gains AfterGlow is the product for you. However, you get what you pay for, this product is not the most cost effective. I pick up the smaller bottles at GNC for around 45, but I dont mind paying for quality. When first using this product, I didn think the mixability was the best. However, I would error on the high side of the amount of water used if this is a problem for you. That seems to make a difference!
