Well, here goes my first supplement review. This is a newer version of an older product. NO Shotgun came out a few years ago, and according to all the reviews I saw, it worked great, but tasted like crap. So of course I bought it. And I can vouch that both statements are true, it worked great, but tasted like crap (more like rancid apple juice, but...). They eventually reformulated the flavor to make it more tolerable, and it worked. The great benefits were available in something that didn't make your stomach churn as much at the thought of drinking it.
Now we have version three, along with a new compliment product: NO Synthesize. This is a reformulated version of the products, including the formula, and the taste.
We'll start with taste (its worst quality previously). The taste isn't too bad. It does taste a little synthetic, but isn't that bad. Compared to the original, it is a considerable improvement. I'd give it a 3 out of 5.
Product contents: has somewhere between 7-11 grams of good creatine (creatine-o-phosphate, ethyl ester, and more) which help to replenish energy levels, both after workout, and during (to help you train harder). Also has a great pump package (arganine, citrulline, and more) which help to increase blood flow to give you a better workout, and bigger pumps. It also includes the relatively new ß-alanine/L-Histadine combination. This combination increases your body's production of carnosine, which works tremendously well to block fatigue, helping you to get in more weight, and more reps. It includes Branch Chain Amino-Acids (BCAA's) and glutamine, that help to stimulate recovery. These are the only performance products that I'm aware of that have protein in them. That is what both products have in common, the Shotgun also has the following. Redline energy and fatloss technology, gives you energy to train harder, and helps you to loose extra water weight. And Meltdown weightloss technology to keep you leaner. Overall product package: 5/5.
Effectiveness: I've used about a container and a half of each. THEY WORK. They just do. I know that when I'm in the gym I can do more than I could if I didn't have it. I have a training partner that's been with me for a few months. We'd be doing our workouts (same thing, slightly different weights) and he wasn't taking anything. I would consistantly be able to do more sets than him (about 10 reps more total) with more weight. While I'm in the gym, I feel focused, the time fly's by, and I feel good when I leave. I take half the Synthesize in the middle of my workout to keep my energy levels high for the last half of my training. Overall Effectiveness: 5/5
Overall product rating: 4.33/5. Great product, but needs a little better taste.
God Bless
