Dux Xleep (Pillow)

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…

SNS Agmatine (Pump)

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…

FortiFX (Protein Bar)

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…

Sleep Essentials (Sleep Aid)

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,…

Kalorik 4 Liter Deep Fryer

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…

Protein Bullet (42 Grams)

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…

Joint Maxx (Joint)

When I do hard workout days, particularly those that employ my legs, I find myself in absolute agony for the next few days. While I usually can make it to my next workout, there have been some times in the past where I have ghad to scrub a day just based on the muscle and joint pain that I am dealing with. However, NRG-X Labs have had to deal with…

C-BOL (Creatine)

Creatine has been one of the widest used supplements since it came into prominence in the 90s, but the different varieties of the stuff can make choosing a product confusing. Thermolife’s C-BOLis powered by the inclusion of creatine nitrate, and will further benefit those that purchase it by the presence of their nitrate techonology. Creatine nitrate allows the expulsion of additional water, while ensuring that muscles can growth without any…

Body Octane Game Day (Pre-workout)

I have been working out seriously over the course of the last fourteen months, and I have shed about 95 pounds and have packed on a decent amount of muscle. However, I found myself hitting a pretty serious plateau towards the end of my last pre-workout drink. We received the Body Octane Game Day a few days back and have begun to use it as our primary pre-workout. The product’s…

Twinlab Energy Fuel Tablets (Energy)

Twinlab has made it possible for individuals of all income levels to provide themselves with a supplement that will create a tremendous amount of energy without making them crash (a la gas station pep pills). This is because they have made their Energy Fuel product in tablet format – Vitamin D and Chromium will ensure that one is able to properly accept the blend of different herbs and fruits present.…

Ripped Juice EX2 (Weight Loss / Energy / Fat Burning)

The sheer amount of energy providing supplements currently on the market clutters things up considerably, and I would venture to guess that not many are able to find the perfect supplement for their needs as a result. However, Betancourt has created in Ripped Juice EX2 a product that works well, no matter whether the individual works out seriously or just needs to cut off a few pounds for their class…

Phoenix (Fat Burner)

One could take a different fat burning supplement every day for a year and not have went through the sheer number of products on the market. The active ingredients that they contain, as well as what they are touted to do, vary considerably. One has to educate themselves thoroughly before purchasing a product, and I feel that Better Body Sports’ Phoenix should be seriously considered by anyone that wants to…

Pioneer Sports SE-CL331 (Headphones)

There are a number of different headphones that we have had the chance to review over the last year, and many of these were priced at a level that made it hard for individuals to swing. However, the price of the SE-CL331 headphones by Pioneer, coupled with a high level of quality, make them accessible to the widest array of purchasers. This quality is unmatched – these are for the…

Calgon Bath Pearls

There are a number of different products that one can use in their bath. Whether it is the tried and true Epsom salts, bubble bath, or any other blend (bath salts), there is typically a good feel and smell blended together. However, I feel that some of these products are better than others. The Calgon Bath Pearls that we received are better than others on the market. First off, there…

Coleman Xtreme 5 Cooler

The general premise of a cooler uses technology that is fairly low-key. Just ensure that there is a good enough seal along with proper insulation and whatever food or drinks that one may have will stay warm for a length of time. However, Coleman has created their Xtreme 5 Cooler, a product that looks to improve upon previous efforts in the cooler field. They tout that ice will remain in…

John Scott’s Nitro – Myto Charge (Fat Burner)

It seems that a great many of the supplements on the market that tout themselves to be stimulant-free fat burners do not have the sheer effectiveness of caffeine-containing supplements. However, we were able to receive and test a sample of John Scott’s Myto Charge, a blend of different compounds that will work perfectly in tandem with a pre-workout or other set of daily supplements. This is due to the different…

All-Pro Science Pure Creatine

There are a number of different pre-workout supplements that do not contain creatine. For those individuals that still wish to get the energy from their pre-workout plus the recovery time increase and muscle growth of creatine, the All-Pro Science Pure Creatine is the perfect product. One just needs to take 5 grams of the stuff (which comes in a 2/3rd pound bottle) and they will gain the benefits that normally…

Tranquility Foaming Bath Salt

Bath salts can be a very inexpensive thing; I know of a number of dollar stores that have some sort of bath soak or salt. However, the quality of these products is incredibly low, and one would have a better time just sitting in lukewarm bath water. However, there are some companies that are creating bath salts that will ensure the most luxurious and fun baths out there. One of…

ThermoLife Dicana

There are a large number of different fat loss supplements on the market; it is incredibly hard to find a product that will work the first (or second) time out. We started our Health and Fitness section to provide some idea of what is good, what could use more work, and what should be avoided at all costs. ThermoLife has provided us with a sample of Dicana, and we believe…

FRS Bottles – Orange Cream, Blackberry Acai, Peach Mango, Cherry Limeade

We were fans of FRS the last time they sent over a package, and wanted to provide readers with a review of their FRS Bottles. These bottles are available at any well-stocked c-store or gas station; we were able to find them in Sheetz, for example. We were unable to try the Wild Berry (90 calorie) version of the FRS Bottles, but feel that our experiences with the rest of…
