In the last few months, we have gradually come to accept that supplementing with BCAAs is essential during both intra and post-workout phases. The amount of soreness and muscle catabolization that can be avoided by supplementing with BCAAs is astounding, and anyone that is looking to push their workout to the next level would do well to purchase one. Understanding the versatility that is present in a product like MRM’s…
One of the most annoying things about pre-workouts is having to get a dosing of powder into a cup or shaker, getting it everyone. One can never be truly sure that they have given themselves the right dose. ANSI has provided answers to all of these concerns with their Xtreme Shock. The proprietary blend employed by ANSI (Glycerol, Endosine, Endurlac, Octopalean, Caffeine, L-Tyrosine, Taurine, and Synergin) represents the best in…
Since today’s the first day of 2012, what could be better than a “New You by NeuFutur Contest?” We have bundled up over $100 in workout supplements and want to give this box away to one of our readers. To enter, simply comment this (or any) of our Facebook statuses from today until January 15th. http://www.facebook.com/pages/NeuFutur-Magazine-httpwwwneufuturcom/143031119041619 to enter!
Pre-workouts are one of the most essential types of supplements that one can use. However, what goes into a pre workout varies greatly based on the company releasing the product, so a large amount of care needs to be taken before buying one. The latest pre-workout that we have received is Prolab’s Quick Fire, and we are happy to say that it provided us with the energy and sustained power…
There are a tremendous amount of different protein bars that are on the market, and all of them seem to cater to different groups. The Pro Drive Sports Bar is one of the few that we have reviewed that will help all athletes and those interested in dieting equally. For those that want to ensure lean muscle growth, the Pro Drive Sports Bar provides a solid amount of protein (16…
We are relatively new to the benefits of an intra-workout, but wanted to provide our inaugural coverage of these products by giving some love to SciVation’s Xtend. We were provided with a bottle of the Lemon-Lime Sour flavor (there are also Watermelon, Grape, Orange, Raspberry and Green Apple flavors available) for purchase. Each bottle contains 30 servings and can be purchased directly from the Scivation online store. The miscibility of…
We have not had much of a chance to use products that are touted to reduce joint paint or inflammation. However, we do get pretty banged up after a few days of working out, and Joint Rehab may just be the product that can get ice packs off knees and elbows and individuals back in their gym. All-American EFX’s unique formulation, using Kre-Celazine, ensures rapid removal of the symptoms that…
While this winter has been fairly mild to this point, I believe that the temperatures will continue to drop through the rest of December and into the New Year. This is a problem for anyone that does any sort of outdoor exercising. However, the Warwear Black Long Sleeve Compression shirt is something that will allow runners and those that conduct outdoor exercises the ability to brave the elements. The long-sleeve…
There are a number of products that are on the market that look to sate hunger, and a great many of these are ultimately forgettable. However, SeaSnax is a product that tastes amazing and is great for you. Do not let me mince words – SeaSnax are just seaweed with a little bit of spice to them. However, the flavor profile of SeaSnax are so large that one will easily…
There are so many whey proteins that are on the market. The quality of these different whey proteins differs considerably, but I think that we at NeuFutur have found one of the best on the market. This is Optimum Nutrition’s latest foray into the protein market, the Platinum Hydro Builder (available in Chocolate Shake and Vanilla Bean flavors). The presence of enzymes that aid in digestion along with Creapure creatine…
Brooks has very nearly perfected the running shoe with their PureCadence. Despite being as light as all get out, the PureCadence has a substance to it that will ensure that one can be comfortable no matter which terrain they are on. The design of the side of the shoe allows for great amounts of airflow, which will ensure that feet do not get sweaty. I found that the smallest steps…
As an aside, it was quite interesting to see Twinlab products in a Meijer; our local one does not carry them, but the ones up in Michigan are stocked to the gills with them. This is no surprise, as Twinlab was and continues to be one of the best supplement companies both in terms of quality and price. Part of the dominance comes in the reformulation of a number of…
When a company has a tremendous market share, it becomes hard to truly innovate. I feel that Gaspari has dealt with some of these problems, but will have the bulk of the bodybuilding world lining up to try this new product. Where the proteins currently on the market typically look toward building muscle mass, I feel that the Gaspari Myofusion Probiotic is something that attempts to increase the overall health…
There are new supplement companies comping out every month. However, a great many of these are not in it for the long haul. I feel that Swole Sports Nutrition will be around for years, if not decades, to come. This is because they have created a set of products that provide individuals with what they need to achieve the best and most productive workouts, all while placing them at a…
It seems as if a pillow is destined to fail. If one purchases a cheap product, there is a good chance that they will be replacing it after its fibers start to break down. If one spends a little more in the way of money for a down pillow, it will need to be fluffed on a weekly basis from now until it spouts a hole. However, we have received…
There are a number of pre-workouts on the market, but there are few that really get down to the core of the pump. Agmatine is first product that we have reviewed that does just that – the pills each contain 250mg of Agmatine Sulfate. This substance is something that is leaps and starts ahead of AAKG or arginine nitrate-containing products, as it directly stimulates the production of Nitric Oxide. There…
There are so many protein bars that are currently on the market that it seems almost impossible to come up with the best for one’s dietary needs and restrictions. However, FortiFX has came strong out of the gate and I am confident that the product is gram for gram the best protein bar currently available for purchase. The FortiFX bar comes in three different flavors – Chocolate Deluxe, Peanut Butter…
Reviewer note: We received this sample from Swanson directly for review, gratis. There are a number of different sleep aids on the market. While they usually contain the same constellation of vitamins, minerals, and other materials, Swanson has done their work and made a supplement that combines all the different schools of thought about increasing an individual’s ability to sleep. This means that Sleep Essentials has Valerian, Chamomile, Hops, L-Taurine,…
There are a number of healthy uses for a deep fryer. As long as one has put it to the right temperature, the oil will cook – not soak into – whatever one places into it. While the first thing we tried in it was deep-fried Oreos, Kalorik has provided a number of temperatures for vegetables, delicacies, and anything else edible that one can think of. The pot (which contains…
Quite possibly the worst part of my workout is drinking protein shakes to recover. The flavors typically are pretty atrocious, and the amount of liquid is too much for me. This is especially present on hard workout days, where I just want to sit like a lump on my chair. However, Protein Bullet has just came onto the market, and it is a product that I will be purchasing on…
