Optimum Nutrition Amino Energy Concord Grape - 65 Servings Reviews
This review is from: Optimum Nutrition Amino Energy Concord Grape - 65 Servings (Health and Beauty)
I use this during my workouts and I love it. Not only does it taste similar to grape koolaid, but I always seem to have more energy and recover quicker when I use this. I feel like my workout are incomplete without it.

I'm a 19 year old college student, and my life would be a lot groggier without Optimum Nutrition Amino Energy. I use this every morning as an alternative to a coffee or other caffeinated drinks. I have bad experiences with coffee and feel really uncomfortable and overly-energetic when I drink it. I find I crash later in the day if I drink caffeine of another sort as well. But I never have a noticeable crash when I take Amino.
It doesn't overly wake you up, it simply makes you feel fully awake and alert like you would normally in the middle of the day. I drink two scoops worth every morning, works wonders!
I'm a huge fan of the grape flavor, haven't tried any others yet though.
Definitely would recommend for someone who wants an alternative to coffee or just a great pick me up.

Building on a foundation of Creapure Creatine, we've added a proprietary matrix of fast-acting, easy-digesting carbohydrates, nutritive electrolyte transporters, and key volumizing amino acids to accelerate delivery and elevate muscle creatine retention.

Optimum Nutrition Pre-Load Creatine Complex, Fruit Punch, 4 Pound Reviews
This review is from: Optimum Nutrition Pre-Load Creatine Complex, Fruit Punch, 4 Pound (Health and Beauty)
I am on Chris Gethin's 12 week transformation program and I bought this because I needed a good creatine supplement. Unfortunately I do not really know the difference between pre-load creatine and normal creatine other than the pre-load has extra calories and essentially the ingredients of a redbull.
Effects: increased energy, definite muscle definition after 1.5 weeks of use. I have never been this strong and my workout seems to be really helping.
Negatives: the negatives to this product is the extra calories and other additives that this creatine has. You can always go all natural, but they say this is absorbed faster.
I suppose I can go either way between this or pure creatine. But for the value and taste it gets 5 stars.
Tip: I take pre-workout and do 20 minutes of cardio before lifting, then when I'm done lifting I drink another half serving mixed with my vanilla protein. Its like a strawberry milk shake!
I have been using this product for 4 weeks now after getting back to weight training for a little over two months. I purchased the fruit punch flavor and although I wouldn't call it "good tasting", it certainly isn't "bad". Anyone taking supplements shouldn't be expecting taste to be very good anyway. When taken 45 minutes before workout there is a very noticable difference in the workout. Energy stays high, stamina increases, and a really good and lasting pump. No jitters or crash post workout either. I would highly recommend this product. I have been using it in conjunction with a decent diet and ON's Gold Standard protein products. Ten pounds of mass added in four weeks. Great product at a good price. Remember to drink plenty of water.

This review is from: Optimum Nutrition Pre-Load Creatine Complex, Fruit Punch, 4 Pound (Health and Beauty)
This product tastes great (I bought fruit punch) and mixed thoroughly (no creatine grit and no residue) it's just like drinking Kool-aid. While it's tough to judge the results of suplements I would say that the creatine did seem to digest quicker. I was able to drink the pre-load, rinse the bottle and go right into lifting and feel the creatine boost. I did not do a scientific study, but I would say it seemed to work better overall, as well.
The one negative (why I give it 4, instead of 5 stars) is the serving size. I was impressed with the weight:price ratio, so I bought it figuring that I get about the same amount of serving as a 1 Kg pure creatine container. Unfortunatley, a serving size is 47.5g (about the size of a protein shake scoop) consisting of 35g carbs (32g sugar), 5g creatine, 1g L-glutamine with traces of other aminos. This is by no means a rip-off like the giant tubs of protein powder that are 4 giant scoops per serving and only have 20 servings. The... Read more

Heard good things about ON products so I decided to try this. It mixes well with soy milk, but it has a weird aftertaste. However, i've tried other products with even worse aftertaste, so it's not a total deal breaker.
