Product Review: Nutrex Maxxplosion

This is one product that got me a little confused.

I initally thought that it is the equivalent for UN's Torrent, a post-workout composite but Nutrex has designed Mass XXplosion as an intra-workout.

This is evident by the arginines in the formula.

Everything else is quite similar to Torrent. There's a good dose of BCAAs, same amount albeit two different types of creatine, some complex carbs but less protein.

In a nutshell, the product boasts of more advanced ingredients. These components work synegistically to infuse your body with the above-mentioned for growth during a workout. It's simple: BCAAs for anti-catabolism, creatines for energy and volumisation, complex carbs for loading and nutrient shuttling and protein for muscle.



The unique feature is that each serving comes packed in individual sachets for ease of use. This is surely convenient for gym goers as lugging around a tub is no fun at all. For those who pre-pack their supps in shakers or containers, we all know how it's like when the containers aren't dry enough and you get a cake by the time you hit the gym.

I wasn't too big on the taste of the Fruit Punch flavour. As usual, it is the cherry tinge but I felt that it wasn't strong enough like that of Torrent.

Anyway, taste = to each his own.

Product Review: Muscle Juice Revolution 2600


It was only a matter of time before I tried this new and improved version of Muscle Juice, having had a couple of tubs of the last variety.

So what's different?

A new protein blend christened OCTO-Pro (8 types of protein), a whole lot less sugar (18 grams), added healthy fats, glutamine and a time-release carbohydrate complex.

Sure upped the ante from the old Muscle Juice which is quite simple in composition really.

Best of all, the folks at Ultimate managed to jam pack 11.1 lbs into the same sized tub thus providing the same 20 servings given 4-scoops per serve. Value for money is still on the cards for this product.

Taste? Honestly, not much difference from before and that's a good thing. Though it is rather puzzling how with 71% less sugar, the Revolution 2600 doesn't stray too far from the original.

Two thumbs up!
