MPA Supps CelluVOL has been receiving all the hype from the online community. I had to try it. I was not disappointed. Marketed as a non-stim pre/pump, CelluVOL is LOADED with clinical dosages of awesome ingredients, provides great pump and amazing focus.
CellTech Next Gen is still a creatine based post-workout powder featuring a new ingredient called CinDura and a carb blend. They tout a 4:1:1 BCAA inclusions but it’s nothing to get excited about since the amounts are too low. Overall, this is a step in the right direction, but still just a more expensive creatine version. If CinDura studies continue to be done by 3rd parties and proven effective than this could be a really solid staple product.
Shane Smith from Stack3d and Mike Roberto from PricePlow stop by the podcast and discuss how their three supplement centric platforms are similar and how they are different. They discuss their beginnings, the best supplements of all time, the worst supplements of all time and who they think takes home the brand of the year award in 2018. This is a MUST listen for sports nutrition fans.
While supplements tend to target people who want to lose weight or build muscle, some are simply there to enhance your focus/alertness. Enter Gamer Up from Controlled Labs. While G-Fuel seems to dominate the market for gamers trying to up their focus while they play, most of us who have experience with supplements will know that it’s pretty much just a on-transparent nootropic with a mild dose of caffeine. Gamer Up comes at you with a fully-disclosed nootropic blend, and a great taste to boot. While it isn’t perfect as far as the profile goes, it gets many things right.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/9z1BOeGghTs” align=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” bg_color=”#2e2e2e” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-5-percent” column_padding_position=”all” background_color=”#efefef” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_color_hover=”#ffffff” background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”medium_depth” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”2px” column_border_color=”#000000″ column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][text-with-icon icon_type=”font_icon” icon=”icon-arrow-right” color=”Accent-Color”]

We first start by looking at it’s ingredient profile. This portion of the review looks at the different ingredients used in the nootropic, what their intention is and how effectively dosed are each ingredient.
We then look at effectiveness. An effective pre-workout will use high quality, proven ingredients, at clinically backed dosages. This is generally an extension of the profile section. The higher quality ingredients used at proper dosages, the more effective that product will be.
Then we move into the taste of the different flavors we’ve tried. We grade each flavor separately and average the scores for their overall taste rating. We were able to test out the following flavors: Bubble Gum.
Mixability refers to how well the powder mixes in 12oz of water. We use the shaker bottle test. This would be your typical Blender Bottle with the spiral chrome ball.
Finally, we talk about value. Value is the combination of profile, effectiveness, taste and mixability in relation to cost. Another part of value are the competitors and other versions of nootropic products on the market.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][divider line_type=”Full Width Line” line_thickness=”1″ divider_color=”default”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]
Like most nootropic products out on the market, they utilize L-Tyrosine, which is a proven to help with alertness, as well as improving memory. You get 2 grams in Gamer Up, which is more than you find in many other products.
Lion’s Mane, which is a mushroom has also been added to this. It has been gaining in popularity for its potential to increase focus, reduce anxiety and depression, and be beneficial for overall health. Here you get 500 mg, which is a fair dose.
Next up, we have Bacopa. Bacopa is one of the most underrated herbs on the market. It is used in ayurvedic medicine. Bacopa has some pretty good research proving it to be beneficial for mental cognition, as well as reducing anxiety. Most of these benefits come after long-term use, so it may be worth having a bacopa supplement to take on days you don’t use Gamer Up.
What good would an energy drink be without caffeine? Not much to note on caffeine here, as we all know the benefits of it. Here we get 125 mg, which is more than a Red Bull, and less than a Monster. The effectiveness of caffeine can really depend on the user, as we all have different tolerances.
Alpha GPC, which is a form of choline that has become very popular in recent years, especially when it comes to nootropics. Here you only get 100mg, which is on the low side. I would have no problem giving this a high rating if it were dosed at or above 600mg.
Lutein is a very popular supplement for people who want to support their eye health and prevent eye diseases. Here we have 500 mcg, which is very low.
To end this, we have Huperzine A, which is very popular in nootropic supplements. To make it simple, is prevents choline from breaking down, thus prolonging the effects of choline. Here we have a 2 mcg dose, which is also very low.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][image_with_animation image_url=”6504″ alignment=”center” animation=”None” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][divider line_type=”Full Width Line” line_thickness=”1″ divider_color=”default”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]
It shined for me at the most as a pre-workout. As a standalone, it’s a little better than simply drinking an energy drink, especially with the extra tyrosine and taurine. You won’t get much support as far as pump or strength aspects are concerned, but in conjunction with a stim-free pump supplement it is works very well. It’s not a stim-bomb, but unless you’re caffeine sensitivity is higher than it should be, you’ll get a nice boost throughout your workout or gaming session. With the caffeine being a bit lower, so you’re less likely to crash after the effects wear off.
For focus, I noticed perhaps a slight increase, but nothing that made me feel like I was taking something like Focus XT.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][divider line_type=”Full Width Line” line_thickness=”1″ divider_color=”default”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]

Kaged Muscle Supplements Micropure Whey Protein Isolate is a solid formula, great taste and a reasonable price for a 3lb (yes, not 2lb) container of Whey Protein Isolate. I would highly recommend Micropure as your next Isolate…the addition of ProHydrolase is a benefit for the protein powder and your body’s ability to digest the protein quickly and effectively.

I used to essentially drink from a firehouse in college, and I could go go go, but as I have gotten older and wiser with my fitness lifestyle, I tend to stay away from the liquid poison. However, there are special occasions where the old school me comes out to play: bachelor parties, guy’s weekends and the occasional wedding. This typically doesn’t bode well with my day-after plans due to a massive hangover.Neutralize is a simple solution to your hangover problem. I will admit, I was skeptical – but the stuff works. I used it several times for big time drinking sessions and the hangover was essentially non-existent…this coming from a non-drinker. Now, it won’t make you not tired, if you stay up until 3am and wake up at 6am you’re going to be tired, no matter what, but you will be tired without the sick feeling and the headache. If you like to drink, and suffer from hangovers, this is your go-to solution to rid yourself of that problem.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/JRCn_FI25rQ”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” bg_color=”#2e2e2e” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”padding-5-percent” column_padding_position=”all” background_color=”#efefef” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_color_hover=”#ffffff” background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”medium_depth” width=”1/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”2px” column_border_color=”#000000″ column_border_style=”solid”][text-with-icon icon_type=”font_icon” icon=”icon-arrow-right” color=”Accent-Color”]

Taurine, the first ingredient used in this proprietary blend, has been shown to increase your level of aldehyde dehydrogenase, a substance, along with glutathione, that breakds down acetaldehyde – the hangover causing molecule (from ethanol.). Long story short, Taurine has been shown to significantly accelerate the metabolism of alcohol and reduce the toxicity of alcohol – this reducing your hangover. Regarding dosage, there is not concrete evidence on actual dosage as studies in rats have been anywhere from .32g/kg to .62g/kg.
The next ingredient, Pantethine, has been shown to inhbit acetaldehyde significantly. Again, no optimal dosage has been identified but the idea that this works to significantly inhibit acetaldehyde is a good thing.
As mentioned earlier, L-Glutathione helps break down acetaldehyde and remove it from the system. We get that ingredient next. Studies have shown that L-Glutathione counteracts the hangover affect.
Lastly, we get Asian Ginseng. This has shown positive effects on alcohol metabolism by the body. Studies have proved that they reduce the symptoms of a hangover.
Overall, a solid ingredient profile. Each ingredient has been scientifically proven to help alleviate the hangover symptoms. The one area in which we are not sure of is dosage since this is a prop blend – in order to get a perfect 10 score we would need to know that – but this is still solid with the ingredients selected for use.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1/2″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”6460″ alignment=”center” animation=”None” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”Full Width Line” line_thickness=”1″ divider_color=”default”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]
If you recall, I am not much of a drinker anymore, but when I want to go, this boy can GO. I decided to take this several times over the summer at music festivals, bachelor parties and weddings. The key thing here is for this to work, you need to remember to take one dosage before you start drinking – this is easy – and one dosage AFTER your last drink – this is more difficult.
Truth-be-told, the first time I took this, I stated drinking at 10am and didn’t stop until 2am…I wasn’t hungover the next day. No lie. I was tired, but I woke up at 7am after going to bed at 3am…you cannot make up for only four hours of sleep – that’s not what this supplement in intended for.
The next time was at a bachelor party. If you’ve been on one of these you know the copious amounts of alcohol you consume in a short period of time. The Friday night I took it I did not go to bed until early in the morning – waking up abnormally early to watch a PGA event on TV. No hangover, but tired as hell. Then we proceeded to get on a boat in the blistering sun – the combination of the heat and dehydration didn’t bode well for me – it wasn’t a hangover, but I felt weak.
That night I took Neutralize again – no hangover the next day.
The most recent time I took it was for a wedding. I took it before and after drinking. We closed the bars down (2:30am) and got to bed at 3am. I was up at 6am and in the gym – tired, but no hangover.
I have had a great experience with Neutralize and truly think it works great. I would have given this a perfect 10, but since I was slightly off that one morning during the bachelor party weekend I took off a point.

We first start by looking at it’s ingredient profile. This portion of the review looks at the different ingredients used in the pump supplement, what their intention is and how effectively dosed are each ingredient.
We then look at effectiveness. An effective pump activator will use high quality, proven ingredients, at clinically backed dosages. This is generally an extension of the profile section. The higher quality ingredients used at proper dosages, the more effective that product will be.
Finally, we talk about value. Value is the combination of profile and effectiveness in relation to cost. Another part of value are the competitors and other versions of pump products on the market.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”Full Width Line” line_thickness=”1″ divider_color=”default”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1/2″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]
Liquicaps use 1.6g of Glycerol – the ingredient that turns your muscles into a sponge, essentially, where you can absorb the water to give you that pump you want. The OG NOXygen used 1.5g of HydroMax Glycerol. HydroMax is more concentrated and less likely to clump. So, although you technically get .1g more of Glycerol in the caps, it’s the GMS version and not the HydroMax version, a better quality Glycerol. Ideally I like to get around 2g of Glycerol in my pump.
The next ingredient are the nitrates. These are a thing of beauty. They help raise NO levels in the body pushing blood and liquid into your muscles where your Glycerol awaits to absorb it. Liquicaps uses 500mg Sodium Nitrate per serving while the OG uses 740mg of Sodium Nitrate and Betaine Nitrate. This is a minimal difference, but a difference nonetheless. You want a minimum of 500mg of nitrates.
Overall, the ingredient deck is still very good and a great value. Compared to the OG formula, I would say this has a slight disadvantage due to capsule size.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1/2″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”6413″ alignment=”center” animation=”None” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”Full Width Line” line_thickness=”1″ divider_color=”default”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]
As I mentioned earlier, I like at least 2g of HydroMax/Glycerol. One serving almost gets you there, but not quite. At two servings you are getting a great dosage of both Glycerol and Sodium Nitrates.
Even at one serving (2-caps) you do get a slight pump, but it is noticeably different with two servings. If you’re new to pump supplements or smaller, then one serving should be fine to provide an effective pump for you during your workout.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”Full Width Line” line_thickness=”1″ divider_color=”default”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]
