There are few protein mixes that can be used to created delectable means. Where it has always been a possibility to mix in protein powder to waffle / biscuit mix, there was a pretty good chance that the finished goods would be gritty and otherwise depressing.

Intraworkout supplements usually consist of little more than amino acids. The effect that they have is important, decreasing overall fatigue and reducing catabolization rates, but BCAA Hyperblend Energy looks to force the average intraworkout to do more. BCAA Hyperblend Energy contains a 3:1:1 ration of amino acids along with a decent dose of caffeine (150mg). The supplement is fleshed out with the inclusion of Ursolic Acid (from Rhodiola Rosea), Astravar …

Pro Whey PW-30 Protein

We have just finished our supplementation with PW-30, and have been impressed by this protein. This is because the product contains a wide complement of amino acids (with a lion’s share of BCAAs L-Valine, L-Leucine, and L-Isoleucine) along with 30 grams of protein per 45 gram scoop. The calories ensure that a two-scoop shake will provide imbibers with 60 grams of protein on only 290 calories (18 calories of fat),…

Halo V Headband Review

  When we received a Halo V headband for review, we were a little skeptical about how well sweat would be shunted from our faces. The headband is incredibly fashionable and thin, consisting of a shiny fabric (Dryline) that looks too sheer to hold any moisture. After completing an exercise in the Halo V, we were absolutely astounded at how well the company’s headbands work. The SweatBlock Seal (patented by…

MCT Fuel provides a boost to Vitamin A (10%) and E stores (330%) and contains 8 grams of MCT for each 30 mL does. MCT Fuel should be seen as an upgrade to similar products in that its energy profile does not convert to body fat…

Syneburn Supplement Review

Very few single compound-containing supplements are able to provide a significant effect for those that are taking them.

Supplementation with Syneburn will provide a large boost to one’s energy without the rapid crash that energy pills provide. Furthermore, Syneburn decreases the overall hunger level of those that supplement with it, decreasing the desire to snack and…

Dopamite Fat Burner Review

  A problem that I have identified with a number of fat burning supplements has to be the tendency to just slap a ton of caffeine into a blend of components and call it a day. MHP’s Dopamite includes those components that have been overwhelmingly shown to effect body fat, and as a result, this is one of the few fat burning supplements that we have reviewed that has any…
