    Animal Flex Animal Flex gets a ton of great reviews and I was a bit skeptical when I picked it up. I have multiple joint issues and know what I want in a joint complex, animal flex hit some, but not others. Anyway, for the price it is a good purchase, so I picked some up and gave it a go. This was three tubs ago, obviously I an a convert. It is a very complete product, but in all honesty, at eight pills per serving it had better be. Serving size aside, I have noticed a drop in pain and discomfort in my joints (at least the ones without major damage to them). This is a testament to the product as it actually worked, which not all joint supplements do. Basically, the price is good, and if you don’t mind taking eight pills, some of larger size, then this is the joint product for you.

    Cytomax Cytomax is perhaps my favorite supplement. I buy it and use it religiously. I use it for two different purposes, I use it as a smarter sports drink during my hockey games, and I use it as a post workout carb source in my protein shakes. In both scenarios it shines. During games, I noticed a significant difference with plain water and cytomax. I would have more energy and stamina and last longer in the games with the cytomax, than previously with water alone. As for post workout it works great, I know there is a craze now using designer carb sources, but cytomax is enough for me.

    Flavor wise I have tried Citrus, Tropical Fruit and Orange. I absolutely love citrus, it is my go to flavor, tastes better than Lemon Lime Gatorade by a lot. Tropical Fruit was too tropical. Sounds funny, but it just wasn’t enjoyable in sports situations. Orange was 25mg of caffeine per serving, and I avoided it for a while, but it tastes well, about on par with orange Gatorade. Go with citrus if you have a choice.

    This product mixes great, and is a good price. Ever since cytosport switched to plastic tubs there is no issues with the cytomax becoming moist and clumping. No side effects, no issues.

    Syntha-6 I had the opportunity to sample out all of the Syntha 6 flavors. Here is a taste rundown of each..

    Vanilla Ice Cream

    taken with milk and thrown in the freezer for a few minutes, it comes out tasting similar to a carvel vanilla shake. excellent, and highly recommended.

    Cookies and Cream

    taken with milk and thrown in the freezer for a few minutes, very tastey. not overpowering cookies and cream but a nice mild to moderate flavor. there are little bits of cookies in the shake, but they all settle in the bottom, and not all of them came out with the final gulp. i would recommend, but vanilla is better by a bit.

    Strawberry Milk Shake

    taken with milk and thrown in the freezer for a few minutes, wow. the top froze a little and it tasted reminiscent of ice cream. i would have to say that this is better than vanilla, and is currently ranked as #1. excellent, best strawberry to date.

    Mochachino

    i did not review this myself, it was outsourced. i hate coffee, don't drink it, never have. so i asked my mother to try this. she has protein shakes regularly, but being a mother puts fruit and other things in it that are common in a fully stocked mother kitchen, so flavor of the protein rarely shines through. i put a similar amount of milk in it for her, and she threw 4 ice cubes in and used her stick blender. she said it was to date the best protein shake she has had. i asked her some questions to compare. she said in the summer she likes going to starbucks to get iced frappachinos and that this shake was better than those fraapachinos. so i would assume it was very good. i tried a little and it tasted like thick cold coffee.

    Chocolate Milk Shake

    taken with milk and thrown in the freezer for a few minutes, very good. it tastes more like cocoa than anything. i really enjoyed this, i would put it above cookies and cream, and maybe on par with, or slightly above vanilla.

    Mixing wise, the product mixes very well, and is priced competitively. This is a staple product.

    Ragnarok I finished my bottle of Ragnarok, and I was very happy with the product. The formula is solid, and even though it is a proprietary blend, an educated glance at the label shows that guesstimated doses are adequate. I have a high tolerance towards stims and pump products, so the product did not shine in this area at one scoop dosage. At two scoops the effects were more profound, but at that dosage it is a lot of caffeine to take on a regular basis. I found that if I took one scoop and gave it a full thirty minutes to kick in, the effects were slightly better. There were no side effects of note, no Beta Alanine tingling, nothing. Taste is were this product really shines, my bottle was the newly reflavored Punch, but I also had the chance to try out the new Melon and Blue Razz flavors. Punch isn’t a fruit punch, it is more of a tropical punch, and it is nicely done. There is a slight bubble gum flavor to the product, but I did not notice this after the first few doses. I actually looked forward to my doses everyday. The melon was very good as well, but I am not a big fan of melon flavors, this one I could take though. The Blue Razz is just really good. It is very reminiscent of Kool Aid flavors, and like the other two, I can highly recommend this as well. It is an excellent product, and a good value.
