Overview: Every so often throughout the endeavors of working out/taking supplements, you are fortunate enough to discover a product that you consider your “go to” or your “ace in the hole” product. That is what I found in this product, now it may be attributed to changes I have made in regiments and routines, but my experience with this product has been a very positive one.
How I dosed it: I took two scoops of this (or “Super Intense” workout serving) around 20-30 minutes before I hit the gym, this was typically preempted with a serving of an
Arginine N.O. product.
Ingredient Profile(9.5/10): The thing I like first and foremost about the ingredient profile on this is all the quantities and amounts of each ingredient are listed right on the label, no prop blend yah!!! Lots of goodies in this formula:
Taurine,
Arginine AAKG,
Citrulline Malate,
Creapure creatine, and
Beta Alanine just to name a few. Very comprehensive profile on this, and something I strongly like about this product.
Mixability/Texture(8/10):Wasn’t the best mixing powder I have ever consumed, and it did usually take a little extra shaking or swirling to get all the powder to dissolve, which it did not always do. With the amount of ingredients this does have I’d say it mixes well though.
Taste(7/10):Also not the best. I had the Fruit Punch flavor and to me it tasted like crushed up “smartie” candies. Also the mixibility issue did give it a bit of a gritty/powdery taste. I have definitely tried worse, but the taste does leave room for improvement.
Effectiveness(10/10): I like many others don’t particularly like giving out 10 ratings, but this is to date the best
pre-workout product I have tired, so I am nearly left with no choice but to give it a 10. The amount of energy I got from this product was the thing that jumped out to me most, even at the end of my workouts I was still chomping at the bit to throw some weight around. This is something that did not wear off over time like I had in experiences with other
pre-workout products. Namely ones that are very high profile and touted (*ahem* “
Jack3d“*ahem*). Also the pump I got from this was phenomenal, combined with
Super NOS Pump before workouts, I had blood rushing and veins popping out all over the place. During my usage of this product, it helped bring out the best of me and of my workouts, I definitely tip my hat to
Labrada on this one, this is definitely a brand I will be looking into much more in the future.
Value(8/10): This is a relatively moderate priced product as far as
pre-workouts go. The large 800 gram tub which contains 50 scoops (or 25 servings for me) comes out to around $39, or $1.56 a serving. It’s a little on the pricier side, but to me, totally worth it.
Conclusion: Like I alluded to earlier, this is the best
pre-workout formula I have ever used so far. I definitely look forward to running this again, and I highly recommend this product.
