Can only speak for myself, Larry, but please review other comments. It's imperative you do the research and see what works for you. This product has been amazing for me. I will continue using it as part of my daily nutritional intake. My workouts are better, my mood is better, my energy level is higher, all because of this (not-so-great-tasting) product. Not the best taste, but I take it with an organic juice. The natural sugars in the juice help to mask the taste. It takes seconds to go down, and the benefits far outweigh the taste. Perhaps you should just get one bottle and try it everyday. One bottle lasts me about 2 weeks, which would be a good time range to notice any benefits it would provide for you. Good luck.

Increase your protein intake (if you're already not getting enough), keep your sugar/carb intake limited, and eat something every 3-5 hours (small meals/snacks, nothing big). For exercise I primarily do weight training, mostly because I personally hate cardio, and kickboxing/MMA once a week. You don't need to work out for very long; 45 minutes at a time is the general max because your body will start burning muscle instead of fat if you go too long.To be honest, I would skip this product entirely. Maybe you have as bad a reaction as I did, but the caffeine content was a nightmare to deal with; three straight days of no sleep just to lose five pounds? No thanks.Good luck to you!

Hi! Glad to hear your loving the taste :) We suggest keeping the inner lid prssure seal on and simply poke 1 hole out for the powder to dispense. This allows you to shake only the tiniest bit. Soon you will know how many shakes you use and can judge by sight. Much easier than having to keep a spoon handy. Not hard to do and when it sprinkles lightly its easier to manage. Let us know if you have any other questions. Diana

Maybe try doing 1/2 a scoop twice per day instead of 1 full scoop to dilute the taste and texture more. I personally put mine into my raw protein shake every morning with fresh fruit blend it in my blender and you can barely taste it. I hope this helps you out a bit... It's awesome stuff don't give up just try some different ways to make it work. I have noticed a huge difference since taking this product I highly recommend it!!!

I was pretty tired before I took 1 1/2 scoops (first time taking a pre-workout drink). the energy hit almost right away and increased until about 45-60 minutes in, then leveled off. after 2 1/2 - 3 hours it started to decline and 5 hours from taking it I was back to normal. so unless your workout is exceptionally long you will continue to have energy afterwards. no crash, just a slow decline back to normal.

I would never replace a meal with any protein shake unless your on the go and need some fuel for your body. I would use this mostly as an after workout drink or in between meal snack.

I'm a woman that wants to buy this but I'm not a BB nor know "bro-science".... how many teaspons should I take with one serving? How many servings a day? Is it best before, during, or after a workout or do all three?

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*)

Eduardo, I would absolutely not take this supplement at 8:30 pm. I am a light sleeper, so the latest I will take it is for a workout at lunch. Most of the time I use it to workout in the morning. This will affect your sleep if you take it in the late afternoon or at night

I ususally put a large leaf of kale in my shake, stem and all. I don't know if I'd say liquify, but it definitely doesn't leave chunks. I'd say the one thing is could liquify a little better would be the ginger. I only use a little but it's very strong. I've used celery, spinach, half of an apple with seeds removed but skin on. My shakes are drinkable no spoon needed. I used plain yogurt and water as my liquid at the beginning, now I use almond milk. Yum.

I mix it with milk (preferred) or water. I stack this with BCAAs, creatine, NO, and pre-workout. You should read up on how much protein your body can metabolize within a certain time frame. Wouldn't want to waste any excess nutrients by over-stacking.Good luck!

I use 2 scoops in 8 oz of water and I use a Magic Bullet to blend it. It really needs a blender to mix properly. It's almost like a shake after 30 seconds. If you don't like it that thick, you should add a little more water to get the consistency you like. I like the feel of a milkshake consistency. I wouldn't lessen the amount of powder as you won't get the full nutrition.

Mix it in a blender! Always it will turn just about anything into a shake, or tastes like a shake!

First, yes okay to blend with protein , I do each day The product is basically a concentrated mix of what you would do if you have an extraction blender (which I do). So for a quick shake in the day, Instead of washing kale, spinach, fruits, etc... 1 heap of this is probably more potent than fresh bulk blending container. It also has much more ingredients than you could due in a fresh blender. Don't get me wrong, both are good and I actually add protein and this WITH my fresh products in an extraction blender. I can tell you the first week or so you will see your body cleanse , as product feeds organs nutrients it is lacking, and thus increase removal of toxins . Seems to help energy, brain functions, exercise sweating more, and of course regularity in basic bodily functions. Good luck

I use it in my morning shake when I run out of whey but casein is really for night time use. EDIT: I guess the answer is yes but what time do you want to drink that shake?
