MyoFusion 5lb Vanilla Review

MyoFusion 5lb Vanilla
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Gaspari Myofusion is easily the best tasting protein I've ever had out of the 20 some odd brands I've tried over the last 7 or 8 years. I would have to say that Vanilla is my favorite of the 3 flavors followed by Strawberry, then Chocolate. It's actually called Delicious Vanilla and it is exactly that. If you like Vanilla milkshakes you will love this stuff. Strawberry tastes absolutely amazing, as well. Chocolate I wasn't crazy about at first, but have grown to really like it. Of course part of the problem with that was me adding a teaspoon of glutamine to the shake and it was slightly affecting the taste(I'll tell you more about the Glutamine in a bit).
You can't go wrong with all 3 flavors, but as I said I'm very partial to Vanilla and Strawberry. No matter what flavor you choose it will taste great whether you mix it with fat free milk, skim milk, or 2% milk. I've never tried Myofusion with water so I can't comment on that. It would probably still taste really good. I usually use fat free milk with mine, but sometimes I'll splurge and use 2% milk which it gives an even richer taste. This stuff is super easy to mix with a shaker. I take 4 to 5 scoops a day and have been for about 10 months, with the exception of a 3 week hiatus when I tried that disgusting stuff known as Squirtro-Tech...errrr I mean, Nitro-Tech(read my review right here on Amazon).
Best of all, there's no chemically aftertaste or bloating or squirting. It's not too sweet either. Just right! So Gaspari please don't mess with the formula. It's made with Splenda and only has 3 grams of fat and 2 grams of sugar per scoop. Has a whooping 25 grams of protein per scoop! If I remember correctly there is 157.5 calories per scoop. There are 63 servings in a 5 lb. tub and 1 scoop equals 1 serving. There is a 2 lb. tub but I've never bought it. There are tons of vitamins and minerals in Myofusion, too.
Results? Yep, I've gotten great results from this stuff. When I first started taking it I was regular flat barbell benching(non-smith machine...cabled smith machines should only be used for people with injuries or for an occasional routine change but don't stay on it long...cheaters also use it to make it look like they're benching more) about 265 lbs. I went from 265 lbs to 330 lbs, which is where I'm at right now in 10 months on an Olympic size barbell bench. That's a 65 lbs. increase with no creatine use in 10 months! Yes, Myofusion doesn't contain creatine, which is a good thing because you shouldn't abuse that stuff. If you do take take it in cycles of about 3 months on/off. I can't take it anymore because it gives me the poops.
Anyway, for a 35 year old, like me, whose testerone levels have pretty much come to a halt this stuff has done wonders. I never thought I would bench more than 300 lbs. I've put on 20 lbs. of lean muscle since I started taking Myofusion. Of course, I've been consuming 100 to 125 protein grams from the powder alone every day, including non training days. Add in all the other food I eat during the day plus the 35 to 40 oz. of milk(mix 1 scoop with 8 oz. of milk or water I drink with this stuff everyday and you're looking at 250 grams of protein consumption a day for about 10 months and working out hard and heavy 6 days a week.
The only downside to this protein that I have found(no it doesn't give you gas) is that it doesn't contain Glutamine. But that's no biggie since you can go to Wally World and get a 2 month supply for $10 smackers. Mix a teaspoon full of it in a glass of water an hour before you workout and a teaspoon in with your Myofusion immediately after you work out and you'll be all set. I didn't know that it didn't contain Glutamine until about 2 months after taking it. I was getting really sore after my workouts and wasn't recovering real well so I decided to research recovery and found that Glutamine is great for that. I checked to product label on Myofusion and saw it didn't have any. Quick remedy: Add my own. I can tell a difference since I've been using the Glutamine. Not a huge difference, but still noticeable.
Myofusion, for as high a quality of protein as it is and for what it does and how it tastes, you can't go wrong for the price. You can find the 5 lb tubs of Myofusion on the internet for about $45 total. Just google Myofusion and you'll find a bunch of suppliers. Hint:Prosource You really can't go wrong with Gaspari Myofusion in taste and results. I haven't found any better protein out there that's better in those 2 important catergories. If someone can find me a better tasting protein please let me know. Yes, some will say Syntha 6. I've tried all of their flavors and while Syntha 6 does taste great, but I don't think it tastes as good as Myofusion, nor did it produce the results I wanted. I have a feeling I'll be using Myofusion for years to come. In fact, this may be the only protein I ever use! It's that awesome!!!
Trivia: Gaspari is actually a person. Rich Gaspari, the founder/creator of Myofusion and it's family of products, was a former professional body builder back in the 1980's. He twice placed 2nd in the Mr. Olympia competition back in the late 1980's. Google him, too. He was huge! I def want someone like him backing my product!

Nutrex Research NIOX -- 180 Fast-Acting Liquicaps Review

Nutrex Research NIOX -- 180 Fast-Acting Liquicaps
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
do you believe in miracles well this nor any supplement works miracles in fact this supplement or any supplement cannot work for everybody. my experience with NO supplements has been mostly positive nothing earth shattering yet. my only complaint is how many capsules are needed reducing this 180count countainer to less than 30days of use. effective yes, easy to swallow and no problem with the shipment/vendor. so i find it does give me a slight pump -n- swole and increased minimal strength and recovery along with creatine. one can go broke supplementing so keep it simple something to aid in recovery like glu a decent NO & creatine and you'll have it going on.

Zero Carb Protein, 2 lbs Review

Zero Carb Protein, 2 lbs
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This product, and others by VPX, have so much artificial sweetener in it that it tastes disgusting. I tried cutting it with coco power and coffee to add some bitterness to try and reduce the overwhelming sweetness, and it was still way too sweet. Is it a protein powder or a candy replacement product? Tastes like pure sugar and I feel sick after drinking it. After a week I can't stand it anymore, it's going in the trash.
On the label it states no aspartame or acesulfame K, that's great. But instead they use Sucralose which is another artificial sweetener that has safety concerns.

Anabolic Xtreme (AX) Hard FX Power Pack - TST Powercell + Hard FX 112 Caps + 112 Caps Review

Anabolic Xtreme (AX) Hard FX Power Pack - TST Powercell + Hard FX 112 Caps + 112 Caps
Average Reviews:

I bought this supp based on the fact that it had very little negative feedback over the internet, but as usual I was not expecting it to be a miracle pill, which is not, however, after a week of taking it and the TST Powercell, I can confirm you feel results from the second or third day onwards; doubt it is placebo effect, as I have taken other supps in the past without any, in addition, when you lift more weight than usual and for more reps, there is very little room for placebo effect, it does work, but again, it is not a wonder pill. As your tst levels increase, you need to hit the gym, otherwise it would do very little for you. I will certainly buy another pack to complete my 8 week cycle.UPDATE - 26 May: I am now half way the the second pack to complete the 8-week cycle; this second half is a must!!!!, I was happy with the 4 weeks f the first pack but this second month so far is great, I have doubled the weight of dumbbells in bicep curl, chest and shoulder press, and have added 50% more weight in bench press and squats from where I left after the first 4 weeks. Can't wait to take the 4-6 week break to start again.

This is good stuff I was recommended it from bodybuilding.com its supposedly the best Isolate protien in its class. Its a good product definately works with proper excercise and taste better then all other protien supplements I've ever tried, but then again I think all Gaspari products are known for there taste.

GASPARI NUTRITION REAL MASS GAINER, 5.95LBS, 6.7 Tub Review

GASPARI NUTRITION REAL MASS GAINER, 5.95LBS, 6.7 Tub
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I ordered a tub of this stuff about a month ago, after being impressed with gaspari's superpump max. Being someone who burns through 2,000 calories a day doing almost nothing I needed a product that easily gave me the extra calories I needed between meals. Having tried quite a few products, I must say that not only does this stuff taste great(I went with the chocolate) but it also does exactly what it says. I didn't feel bogged down like I usually do after drinking any of the various protein formulas out there.
I've also noticed a considerable gain in muscle mass since I started taking this along with superpump max(sorry, I've yet to try this while not taking superpump. So I'm sure that has an effect on mass gain). Also I haven't really noticed any fat gain, though everyone's body is different. Like I said I have a very active metabolism, so I would start off with a lower serving at first to see where you're at in caloric needs. I usually mix it with whole milk, some fruit and peanut butter in a blender, but sometimes in a pinch I've just mixed it with water and it was delicious, though I do feel it was intended to be drank with complex carbs, the more the better. All in all, the amount of money you would spend buying the amount of food to get what this product offers would be a heck of a lot more. which in my opinion makes it worth it based on that alone.
Great product, amazing price.

Natural sterol complex works really good. I got really nice cuts and got a lot stronger since I started using this. I recomend it to people who are looking to get cut, it really gives you good looking pumps but you have to work out though. You can't expect this to do wonders. You have to lift some weights and you will be very pleased.

GASPARI NUTRITION MYOFUSION, 5-Pounds Review

GASPARI NUTRITION MYOFUSION, 5-Pounds
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Protein powder is the easiest and safest way to supplement your diet with essential protein for building and keeping muscle. I swear by it. I bought a 5 lb tub of Myofusion Chocolate-Peanut Butter from [...] (hey, it was on sale and in this economy it pays to shop) to kick the tires and try it out. Here's the skinny:
THE PROS: First, it blends easily and completely - no graininess or clumping. Second, it's consistency is more like ON Casein whey in that it tends to thicken up to a nice "shake"-like consistency which makes it more "satisfying" from a fullness standpoint. Third it has an extra gram of protein (25 per scoop) - 1 more than ON Gold Standard Whey and 2 more than EAS 100% Whey. Fourth, it's priced very competitively against other whey products. Fifth, it's Gaspari, which means it's engineered/formulated for body builders' needs - a good thing if you happen to be one.
THE CONS: First - BCAA's are not part of the formula - at least as far as I could tell from the list of ingredients. I usually add BCAA powder (ON product) anyway to my shakes, but I like to have them in the whey mix in case I've run out of the powder or I'm in a rush and don't have time to add them. This is a minor issue. Second - and here's the biggest - the taste Really Needs Work. There's no detectable peanut butter flavor at all and the "chocolate" had almost a medicine taste. It didn't taste terrible, but it's neither chocolate nor peanut butter. To get around the taste, I added plain non-fat yogurt, real peanut butter (Bell Plantations PB2 powdered product works great, too, and has virtually no fat), and a banana. Gaspari - go back to the kitchen and fix this. Please.
Taste of this particular version aside - I like Myofusion, and I will buy it again - only in a different flavor. ON's Gold Standard Double-Chocolate (do you see a pattern here?) has been my go-to protein powder for years, and I'm back on it now (yes, an Amazon purchase). After Myofusion, however, I must say that the ON Gold Standard Whey's consistency seems surprisingly "thin" compared to the Myofusion. Lift, live and learn, I always say.
Addendum 7/7/2010 - The $43.40 price for this supplement is out of line, given the taste issues. I just ordered a 5 lb tub of the Milk Chocolate version of this Gaspari product from Amazon and paid $35.94 with Amazon Prime expedited shipping. Both products are shipped by DAB Nutrition and fulfilled by Amazon, so the price difference makes no sense. Unless you hate chocolate, it sounds like a no-brainer to me as to which version of this product you'll want to go with. My comments on the Milk Chocolate version will be up shortly after I've had a chance to "kick the tires".
Addendum # 2 - Chocolate version is GREAT. Check out my review there. Gaspari Nutrition Myofusion, Milk Chocolate, 5-Pound
