    Accelerade Got this at the recommendation of the place I go to for protein.

    It took a while to get used to the Fruit Punch Flavor (for the one that just came out). Nothing like the Gatorade/Powerade versions at all. At the end of the first bottle (2 servings), I actually started liking it. It even smells nice in the container (just a note, don't try breathing into the container: lots of fine powder will come out and could cause sneezing, even if you accidentally shake it).

    Shaking took a bit, and not all of the powder dissolved. I could still see little bits floating around after shaking it hard, and they don't really go away with more water either. Lots of bubbles formed when shaking as well (from whey protein concentrate).

    Used mostly for before/during endurance performance. I found it helped during one of my soccer matches, and I could keep on going/sprint when most people were starting to slow down. Definitely worth the price.

    PRO-VIT Decided to try another Strive product, and this one goes pretty well. There are 9 pills in each pack (3 for vitamin/anti-oxidant/digestive enzyme, 3 BCAA, 2 for liver/insulin/cognitive, and 1 for EFA).

    It does get annoying to have to swallow so many, but 6 are in gel caps so it is somewhat easier. There is no scent upon opening the pack.

    No major side effects over the past week and a half.

    The only reason why I picked this up over Animal Pak was because I am taking glucosamine as a separate supp, and didn't need to take any more. At least the digestive enzymes has helped with some minor digestion problems I had for a while.

    Forgot to add this earlier...Try to take them as early as possible, otherwise most of the digestive enzymes go to waste when you are sleeping.

    PRO-ISL Got a tub of vanilla on sale (4lbs for 45CAD), and was able to get the strawberry banana sample packet.

    Both mix really well, and the strawberry banana smells just like a smoothie when in powder and shake form. The vanilla and strawberry banana dissolved quickly in water and milk as well (mixes equally well in low and high volume). Vanilla also mixes with most juices really well. Might end up going for chocolate next.

    What I like about it is there are BCAAs mixed in with the isolate, and has a mix of different types of proteins as well. Saves some more money that way too.

    The only downside so far is the sucralose, but it is 35mg per scoop, so low enough to be on the safe side.
