I take it with a protein shake. You can mix it with water or whatever beverage of your choosing. The flavor is a bit tart, but I do not mind at all.

Yeah, I order it once a month and definitely feel the difference when I skipped taking it for a couple days.One good way to keep it is make it up in a liter bottle with warm water. Then put it in the fridge. Shake it before you pour it into a juice glass. I have to make sure my son doesn't drink it like Koolaid!

I agree with Nola. This should be taken no later than 5:00 p.m., in my opinion. I have even seen it affect my ability to sleep around 11:00 p.m. when i take it at 5:00 p.m., right before i workout. Everyone is different, so the only way for you to know for sure is to take it and see how it affects you.

Hi Gerald, I use about half the recommended amount and it gives my system more energy. I do not feel jittery or feel like I had a caffine overload, or feel superhuman or anything. Half of the recommedation seems to work well with me. I try and work out 3-4 days a wek (minimum), and it keeps me going. I ran out before I recordered, I noticed an energy level drop. It seems to work well with my routine. It gives me just a little constant energy boost so when I need it I am ready for my workout. Hope this help. P.S. I never tried the full recommended amount. If I felt that half wasn't enough then I would have increased the amount, but half works fine for me. Take care.

If you drink 2 shakes a day its about a week or so. I love this stuff!! If you buy it in stores it's about $45.00 per container. I've been lucky finding it on amazon way cheaper. Enjoy!

Absolutely!! I do it with my pre and post workout shake. No taste or aftertaste!

I guess it's preference. I always take a protein shake right after working out so I put my creatine in there

That's exactly what I do. I find that adding it to my shake makes the shake extremely thick. So I just take it first thing in the morning with a small cup of water, add it, stir it quickly and drink the glass quickly because it will chunk up in water, you may need to quickly add a little more water right after to rinse the rest of the fiber out of the glass and not waste it. :-D Hope this helps

Yes, you can mix it up in advance. In fact, if you are not mixing it up at least 2 hours in advance, you are getting an inferior tasting shake. It takes that long for the powder to actually dissolve.

If it's the one I think I have had before and want again, supposedly, you take it with water when you wake up and don't eat for (I think it's an hour? I wait half an hour or the caffeine gives me the jitters if it kicks in full force before I eat). So in that (half)hour, it is digested and begins to debloat, energize, suppress cravings and a few other things. I find that I have a good amount of energy with just 3 pills a day - 2 in the morning and 1 an hour before lunch, again, I can be caffeine sensitive so I just take less, I have lost 20 lbs twice with this product. I find it gives me energy and focus and I find myself having to either force myself to eat or to remember to eat because you can't starve your body on this product or you end up feeling like a meth head because you can stay up for days at a time. Not good. Eat healthy stuff that comes from trees or the ground more than anything else (look into super foods - they changed my life!) but this product is great when I can't always get to the gym and I'm running in between my 3 jobs, it's like taking a pill to burn calories in place of the gym time I don't have. But it doesn't work if you eat junk/overly processed foods or a lot of white flour. I feel like it just cancels out a bad diet.

I mix it with bananas or apples and walnuts or almonds. I don't mind it by its self with almond milk or nonfat milk. I have found that it mixes better in the blender than in a shaker and the longer you blend it the creamier it gets. I have more energy and it's better than not eating at but I haven't lost any weight so far and I exercise regularly.

It depends on how many scoops your use. I started off using 1.5 scoops, then I just switched to 1 because I've been mixing other things with it (PB2, cinnamon, cacao). I bought this in the beginning of July, and I still have enough for another +/-15 days of shakes (I have 1 a day).In my case, which again, will vary, I'd estimate I get +/-50 shakes out of it.

I only use it "After" my workout or I use it right before. and I do it once a week. I just have a feeling that using it every time I workout would not be a very good thing to do.(Considering how I workout 5 times a week*)

The protein blend digests slower and keeps me satisfied. I get foggy when I am on a calorie/protein deficit, but a shake made with water at 7am keeps me running strong till lunch at noon or 1. Low carb in the interest of weight management, high protein in the interest of strength training.

Post. I personally don't use it, my best friend does. It won't hurt you to drink it before but it's best for after to feed your muscles.

I work out before I go to bed. I usually drink it on my commute home from work and it seems to kick in about the time I begin my workout. I'm doing P90X3 Mass right now, so some of the workouts are pretty extreme as far as exerting energy, and I'm able to go to bed after and not have trouble sleeping but I wouldn't call it a "crash". So, I'm not sure that it would carry you throughout the day, but I've used it as a pick me up on the weekends if I'm trying to get some project done around the house and it works well.
