Whey Superior Charge Vanilla (Whey Protein)

We have not had the opportunity to review any proteins in a few weeks, but we received a packet from Food Science of Vermont for their Whey Superior Charge. The vanilla flavoring of the Whey Superior Charge actually has more in common with ice cream rather than being a code-word for a “plain”-flavored product. This allows individuals to more easily get through their protein shakes and allow their bodies to…

Twinlab – Daily One Caps (Vitamins)

We here at NeuFutur have provided coverage for a number of workout supplements that benefit those that take their regimens seriously. For those that run around occasionally, do yoga, or take a more low-impact approach to their fitness, some of the supplements that we have covered simply do not have much effect. Understanding this, there are a number of supplements that will benefit all equally. Twinlab has a great vitamin…

EAS Myoplex Chocolate Cream

For full disclosure, we received samples of Myoplex for review from EAS itself. The product is available pretty much everywhere where fitness products are sold. Myoplex can be drank before or after a workout, either as a way to increase the body’s energy stores or to replace what one has burnt out during a workout. The formulation of Myoplex is such that one can just stick a bottle of Myoplex…

Drive (Testosterone, Pump)

The sheer amount of different supplements on the fitness market is enough to have a potential buyer’s head spin. While understanding what a vitamin does is not too terribly hard, when individuals start hearing different abbreviations (HGH, ATP), it becomes incredibly confusing. This confusion only increases when it comes to the fact that each company creates a range of supplements that do different things based on what individuals want them…

Motivate (Energy)

The conventional wisdom is that one needs a solid caffeine base for any sort of energy pill. There are a few companies currently creating products that have realized that this does not need to be the case. Anabolic Innovations have placed a small amount of caffeine in Motivate, but have presented individuals with a blend of a number of other elements. The list of different ingredients here includes Schizandra extract,…

Snapple Papaya Mango Tea

I believe that it is pretty humorous that I was only informed that the Amazing Race was still on the air after receiving a case of Snapple Papaya Mango Tea for review. This variety of tea comes in a normal and a diet formulation, with a significantly different flavor profile for each. The Diet tea seems to be the more attractive of the two. The sweetness of the mango in…

Katika Sandals (Black)

Going through any sort of shoe store, one will undoubtedly find countless variations that are virtually indistinguishable from each other. The amount of creativity in regards to shoe styles, design, and overall look seems to be tremendously small. However, we here at NeuFutur were just tapped to review a pretty distinct pair of sandals. These sandals, a current release by MBT shoes, ensure high fashion bundled alongside considerable functionality. Katika…

ElectroAmino (Amino Acids)

I really like ElectroAmino, a new product from High Energy Labs. While amino acids come in a number of forms (we’ve reviewed powders and pills in the past), High Energy Labs has placed them into a chewable tablet format. Each bottle of ElectroAmino contains 120 tablets (30 servings) and can be purchased for a hair under $30. However, the value that is present in each bottle of ElectroAmino makes this…

About Time Mocha Mint Protein (Whey Protein Isolate)

There are a number of companies that are attempting to make the best possible protein, both in terms of taste and in regards to sheer muscle building. Many of their products turn out to be passable, but only few are able to come forth and be definitively the best product. About Time has a line of proteins that I feel to be some of the best in the world. This…

MRM Reload (Amino Acid)

Ensuring that you have the correct balance of supplements and proper vitamins, acids, and chemicals to foster muscle growth and continued health is a hard thing to do. There are a tremendous amount of books currently on the market that look to provide some sort of information about this, but they seem to vary as much as the authors’ names on the spine do. However, there seems to be one…

S.A.N. BCAA-Pro 5000 (Amino Acids)

I have just started to use amino acids in preparation for working out. I was unsure of the value that they had, but was able to read a few books about the subject and feel that it is what will bring my workout to the next level. Amino acids are what allow muscles to recuperate faster, and as such, allow for better and more sustained muscle growth. The SAN BCAA-Pro…

Accel Recovery Bar

The Accel Recovery Bar is integral for anyone that is looking for a healthy snack, recovery after a workout, or for a way to easily increase their health. There are three different types of carbohydrates that will restore fuel to the muscles, while there are a few amino acids present that will allow for muscles to be built up faster and bigger than before. Finally, the presence of anitioxidants in…

GAT Jet Fuse (Pre-Workout Supplement)

There is a considerable amount of variation when it comes to pre-workout supplements. While each of them will get you amped due to the presence of caffeine, it takes a good supplement to really do everything that any company promises. To that end, I feel that the GAT Jet Fuse pre-workout is perhaps the best pre-workout supplement that I have tried.

Jarrow Formulas Amino Recovery (240 Capsules)

Few people actually know, but the workout process is tremendously stressful on one’s body. It is not typically stressful to anyone that properly supplements, but increasing muscle size boils down to tearing individual muscle fibers up each time one runs, pumps iron, or does anything vaguely strenuous. To ensure that the recovery process goes faster, Amino Recovery provides a host of different amino acids which then facilitate the recovery process.…

Eight Ball Nutrition Kinetic Energy Shots (2 Ounce)

It seems to be that the energy shots are the new big thing when it comes to individuals trying to gain and maintain energy. Where much of the use of these energy shots are for those that are not trying to increase their fitness, I contend that there are serious benefits gained by taking energy shots for those that have an active fitness regimen. However, there is substantial variation in…

Schiek Ab Strap (1400) || Wrist Supports (1100-WS)

We have not had much opportunity at this point to cover anything for our Fitness section besides workout supplements. However, the amount of equipment that can be purchased by an individual concerned about their fitness is nearly infinite. We were able to receive a Schiek Ab Strap to kick off our section, and are still using it in our workouts. This Ab Strap has multiple functions, allowing individuals to do…

Valeo Medicine Ball (10 Pounds)

Individuals are very apt to believe that there is little that can typically go wrong or differ between the different types of medicine balls. However, there are quite a few ways in which quality can vary. For example, the rubber outer shell can begin to split or leave residue on an individual’s hands. We received a 10 pound medicine ball for review from fitness company Valeo, and after a few…

Premier Protein Shake (Protein Drink)

At NeuFutur, we go through a tremendous amount of different nutritional supplements. Protein drinks, along with thermogenics, are one of the few things that we use on a daily basis. Premier Nutrition has created a single-serve drink in three flavors (Vanilla, Chocolate, and Strawberry) that gives drinkers 30 grams of protein while only containing 160 calories.

About Time – Fill, Shake & Go Protein (Chocolate)

Forgetting to take your shaker out of your workout bag after a hard workout is something that is tremendously easy to do, and creates a ticking time bomb that will absolutely gag you the second that you go to open and clean your bottle. Strip-based SDC Nutrition is quite familiar with this phenomenon, and looks to make it a thing of the past with their unique About Time Fill, Shake…
