I just ran out of my box of Cookie Dough :(. Maybe time to try the mint. :lol:

Good idea!

The very nutshell version is that Nitrean is a blend of 3 forms of whey, casein, and egg proteins. ON's most popular product and that one most people use is a whey only protein. The advantage of Nitrean's blend is a superior net retention. You will retain and use more Nitrean than any comparable whey only product.

So if I wanted a product for PWO and also as a meal replacement throughout the day, should I go with Nitrean or Opticen? I 100% prefer whole foods through the day, but many days that's just not possible. I also train early, mostly 6:00 AM. Thanks for all your help.

In that circumstance Opticen would be the better choice.

Chris... thanks for the Novus bars!!! I can't believe that you included it with just a 2 lb Nitrean order.

Anyway... the Mint was awesome, the cookie dough not so much.

I cannot believe how much they filled me up though. I will definitely be buying a box of the mint the next time I order.

You are very welcome! Thanks for your thoughts. Just an FYI, I am the opposite. I much prefer the cookie dough :).

Both are really good, but I have to give the edge to The Mint Cookie bars as well.

Chris,
I would imagine with 31 sugar alcohols, those with sensitive stomachs may have issues. Have you encountered this?

One time I ate a whole package of sugar free jelly belly's and man, was I feeling it lol.

You know, that was my inclination as well, but it is not the case. Of course, it is individual, but I am pretty sensitive and it does not bother me (I have never had more than 1 bar at a time).

Hey Chris,
If you would put out a peanut butter version of Novus, I would be all over that shit...:lol::drool: Seriously, think about it.

Consider it noted! :)

Having tried both the Novus bars, I agree with Pete. The mint cookie is sublime. Something about the cookie dough just didn't stick right, but still it was very tasty for the nutritional information. :drool:

+1 on the peanut butter! (+2 if it includes chocolate)

I'm a cookie dough man. The mint is just too heavy. :)

Sounds like a peanut butter might have to be next.

Any sales soon? I'm getting low on everything. :lol:

Chris,

I mix my protein with either milk or water in a shaker. I've noticed that the vanilla makes a ton of foam (more than the chocolate & more than other brands I've used).

Have you noticed this? Is there something else I could do to limit it?

THANKS!

I posted about the same thing a while ago, so its not just you, the funny thing is though, my wife loves the foam, she wont drink anything but the vanillia becuse of it..Go figure :doh:

I just ordered a tub of Nitrean from AtLarge. I haven't gotten it yet, but I'll post my thoughts on it. I did email them prior to ordering and they got back to me pretty quick. So far so good. Good customer service goes a long way with me.

Chris-

Which day of the week is the sale ending? I may have to stock up with such a good sale.

Nevermind, I just checked our your website and the sale runs through Monday, 8/17.

Just got my two tubs.. God, I missed Strawberry. It's been almost 2 years since I had Nitrean. 2 scoops of strawberry nitrean, 1c of ice and 6oz of water whizzed in the blender is heavenly.

Thanks for the Novus bars, I don't know how well they survived the heat (94F yesterday at delivery time) but I'm looking forward to trying them soon.

Chris -

odd ball question for you... what if I microwave Nitrean? Say in a blend of other things. Will that kill the benefits of the protein?

Thanks,
BJ

I got my Nitrean in last night and gave it a taste and it was pretty good! It mixed well by spoon, by far more than any other protein I've had. The taste was good. I ordered the chocolate. Chris was nice enough to throw in a few samples, vanilla and strawberry. I didn't try the vanilla but the strawberry was good too. Chris even through in some Novus bars. I haven't had a chance to try those yet but I'm going to have one during my lunch.

Overall, a really good experience for me. They were quick with replying to my emails and letting me know my order was shipped. The quality of the product seems top notch. In fact, I'll be ordering some creatine from them this weekend since I had such a good experience.

Thanks Chris!

No when you microwave the powder even if its mixed in something etc the microwaves will denature the protein so it basically destroys it. I like how chris answerd someone praising his product before someone with a question :lol:

Just got my first shipment of Nitrean and all I have to say is it rocks! Gave me a sample of he other flavors as well. Also thanks for the bars too...although they melted hehe. Nothing a bit in the freezer can't fix. Best customer service I have EVER had too! Thanks guys!

Damn I was one day late on the sale!

Chiming in to say that I'm enjoying the Maximus MRP. The chocolate is a nice flavor and I actually like it better than the Nitrean. I've found that Opticin chocolate was #1 in your line of products. So if anyone has found Nitrean a bit "metallic" then try these other two, they are great!

Got one question: There is microlactin in Maximus, does this mean I don't need ETS?

I have tried ETS before and I did notice I slept better but I couldn't tell my recovery time or soreness improved. IMO just the deeper sleep I got from it was worth it.

Just wanted to share this. I ordered a bunch of stuff from At Large a few days ago but forgot to put in the august discount coupon code. I emailed them asking if I would still qualify and they promptly got back to me saying that they were happy to refund me 15%. I have received nothing but top notch customer service from these guys, and their products kick ass to boot. :tucool:

Chris gives every customer, potential customer and person with a question personal attention--and he's done so conscientiously for the many years he's been a sponsor here. I guarantee you that he simply overlooked that question; his track record on this forum serves as undeniable proof of that.

This is the third time (that I've seen) in which you've dropped into a thread and made an unwarranted stab at Chris/AtLarge. I don't know what your problem is, but I do know this is your final warning to knock it off.

Thanks again Chris :tucool:

I made a delicious smoothie tonight with some strawberry Nitrean...

1.5 cups frozen fruit (use strawberries, mixed fruit, whatever)
3/4 cup milk with 1 scoop Nitrean powder mixed in it
1/2 cup strawberry ice cream (I use Breyer's All Natural)

Blend and enjoy! Good stuff and with the milk/Nitrean it runs 30+ grams of protein plus a ton of other nutrients from the berries. I eat these when I have a sweet tooth craving.

Got one question: There is microlactin in Maximus, does this mean I don't need ETS?


Bump!

Am I right that I would need to have 10 scoops of Maximus per day to match the recommended amount of ETS for the microlactin as well? Still a bit confused on the difference, thanks in advance. :tucool:

You could do without ETS if you have MAXIMUS, but ETS will provide superior benefits. If you can afford both, get them.

Yes, you would need a double serving of MAXIMUS to equal the amount of Microlactin in ETS.

Wow. Chocolate Nitrean plus peanut butter FTW.

Thank you, I will during the next sale. :)

Got my first ever batch of Nitrean today. I bought a Vanilla and a Strawberry tub and the free Turbo Shaker.

First off Turbo Shaker isn't bad, can't complain for free. Don't shake it with hot water in though to clean it as the lid will blow off and put hot water down your arm, something that wont happen with a twist on lid.

Tried the Vanilla mixed in water as I normally do. It mixed well, pretty much no clumps so good there.
It smells lightly of sweet eggs. Not the most pleasant smell in the world. Unfortunately it also tastes a little bit of eggs too, clearly from the egg protein in it. I guess that's where the frothiness of the shake comes from aswell.
That being said it is better than some the Vanilla flavors I've had in the past. The one I got from costco once I had to throw away it was so bad.

Overall considering the price premium I would have to give the Vanilla flavor a 6/10 and I doubt I'll be buying more of it in the future as I can tell I'm going to get sick of this very soon.
All the talk of "superior net retention" etc is no good if I can't stomach the stuff.


Not tried the Strawberry yet but will give it a go soon.

Chocolate nitrean is my fav by far.

Tried the Strawberry, this one is better than the Vanilla.

Eggy smell is not there as much, although the taste is a tiny bit but not as pronounced as with the Vanilla.

It has a fairly neutral Strawberry taste, not overly chemical/sweet or strong like some brands.

It did not mix as well as the Vanilla though and had some clumping.

For mixing with water I'd give it a 7.5/10 overall.



Next I will try the two flavors in milk.

Chocolate Nitrean and milk with honey is by far the best protein shake I have ever had for taste.

I just stocked up on four jugs of the Strawberry. Stuff is top of the line for mixing with oats or fruit.

McFC, we feel our products are some of the best tasting on the market and customer feedback supports that position. With that said, the reason you should be consuming Nitrean is less for its taste than its superior protein matrix. THAT is the real selling point of the product. You can use less Nitrean and get the same results when compared to any whey-only product.

Opticen is also a good tasting product I just picked up. So far I have enjoyed EVERY ALN supplement. Chris thanks for the help on the ETS it works ten times better now. :tucool:

Well the "superior protein mix" would mean nothing if it tasted like poo would it? unless you're two girls and own a single cup between you.

As it stands I think the Strawberry one is quite nice; I'm less pleased with the Vanilla one though like I said.

I might grab some of the Chocolate one in the future to see what that is like, people seem to like that the best going off the comments.


Btw can you comment on the eggyness I'm smelling/tasting in them, I presume that's from the egg protein in the mix and that's also what makes the drink frothy after mixing.
Is it possible to reduce that do you think?

edit: I just saw the research that supports your net retention claim (http://apt.allenpress.com/perlserv/?request=get-abstract&doi=10.1519%2FR-17695.1&ct=1) and they did it with whey and casein only and no egg protein. With that being said, out of curiosity why are you adding egg to to the mix at all?

Your first reference confuses me.

No comment on what you are smelling and tasting as you seem to be in the extreme minority. What you are perceiving is quite different and I am not sure why. Flavoring is not something where you can please 100% of the people.

We include egg because it has an absorption rate between that of whey and casein. The absorption rate has a significant effect on retention. In addition, egg has a different amino profile and other varied benefits from either whey or casein.

Chocolate Nitrean with 1% milk is by far my FAVORITE!!

Your first reference confuses me.


It's an internet meme. Ignore.

i.e. a study that showed whey + casein + egg produced significantly better results than just whey + casein?

I don't know that I have a specific study which includes all 3 sources. I DO have the intellectual ability to realize that egg protein offers unique benefits AND due to its mid absorption rate it will help to promote a steady release of amino acids within the context of the blend.

"Be careful?" How about "Calm down." :blank:

AtLarge has an incredible track record (like 100%) with regards to customer service. Read this thread--they have been a sponsor here for years, and their customer service is outstanding. Chris Mason is on this site answering questions and helping out pretty much every day.

Has it occurred to you that AtLarge is not receiving your emails for some reason? These things happen. AtLarge values all of their customers, and they would never ignore an email. How about a polite note in this thread, or a PM to Chris with your question or concern before going ballistic?

I already read this thread. That's why I bought the product in the first place. Obviously they're not 100%. I'd defend them too if they were one of my advertisers. If they didn't receive my e-mails then they have other issues besides slow shipping. Not to worry, you won't see me back around these parts. Too many others.

My curiousity got the best of me. That's why I asked. Sounded like he could have been a competitor.

WTF.

So you're calling me an idiot for asking for a scientific study?

I don't think it was out of bounds, the whey and casein mix study was quite illuminating and has altered my thoughts on my future purchases.


It seems clear that whey + casein would help the net retention you mention. Without a study to back it up there's no proof either way that the whey + casein would have enough overlap to make the egg addition pointless.

Given that I'm having taste and smell issues with the Vanilla Nitrean due the the egg it would be reassuring to know it's there for more reason than a educated guess on your part.

I agree with this sentiment.

I'd like to come on and tout Chris and AtLarge's phenomenal customer service. I emailed Chris late last night to ask a question about a discount offer he made me when I made my last order (two years ago). He responded within an hour (that's pretty impressive considering it was a holiday) and I placed my order this morning. I honestly didn't expect him to honor it (like I said, the offer was two years old), but he did and I got an email confirming the shipment of my order within 30 minutes of placing it along with another follow-up email from Chris.

They are absolutely top-notch!

No, not at all. There is not a study of everything in the world. In addition, the data from studies can often be intrepeted to suit one's needs. With that said, they can certainly be a valuable resource.

My point was that IF there is not a study which addresses a particular question that does not mean that the answer is not obvious. I know about the properties of egg, casein, and whey proteins. Without getting overly technical I have stated my position.

Based upon your repeated statements about the flavoring and the general approach you are taking I think it best you don't order our product. You strike me as someone who cannot be pleased and will be one of those rare customers one wishes they simply did not do business with.

I wish you the best of luck in finding a product which suits you and your needs.

Fair enough, I'm a little surprised but I do appreciate the reply regardless.

I guess I'll have to find the information elsewhere to decide whther I should be buying a blend that includes Egg in the future given it has a taste trade off.
I would have thought a manufacturer who stands firmly behind his product and touts it's ability to increase net retention would have more facts on the subject.

Facts and specific studies which address egg protein in concert with 3 forms of whey and one of casein are two different things. There are no such studies to my knowledge. Would you prefer I make one up? I honestly think your questions speak to your lack of understanding of science and specifity of information in studies.

Do some reading on the benefits of egg protein as a stand alone. After that, consider its absorption rate and the evidence that absorption rates dictate retention to a degree (you can reference Boirie et al).

Once you have done the above, make a decision if you feel the inclusion of egg protein is something you want. I have made that decision as have MANY of the strength athletes we work with and thousands upon thousands of Nitrean's users.

Well, I have been using ETS for over a week now, and I have to say it's working. I noticed the first night that I slept a lot deeper, but didn't really notice any releif of DOMS until about 4-5 days into using it, probably becuase my body needed to build up the amount of micro-lactin? I don't have a clue, but I can tell that my DOMS are reduced, not completely, but it helps, and over all the aches and pains that I have learned to live with are almost gone. I haven't been sleeping through the night lately, but I can fall back asleep a lot more easily. Over all, ETS is an benificial product in my opinion.

I usually try to get a Pro/Fat meal in before bed and for the last week or so it has been 1 scoop chocolate nitrean, 1/2 cup 1% cottage cheese and 1-2 TBSP natural peanut butter. It tastes amazing, and is good if it is left in the freezer for a bit prior to eating it. I suggest this to anyone with a sweet tooth for ice cream.

I should have bought more Nitrean :bang:.

If you don't like the taste of the vanilla, you should try the chocolate. I personally do not not the vanilla and thats why I only buy chocolate or strawberry Nitrean.

Chris I saw a new video of you! You are getting BIG! :bb:

Thank you for the comments!

Chris I haven't heard much about RESULTS lately. How has that product been going, and how have endomorphs responded to it? I know right when it came out I remember you saying that people are losing weight with it, even though that wasn't its purpose, isn't it mainly dextrose?

No, no, I have never said the product will make you lose body fat. It has nothing in it which will do that. What I DID say is that RESULTS will help you to hold, or even add lean muscle while in a caloric deficit, and it does this very effectively.

Sales have been quite good. It works better for its intended purpose (size and strength) than any other non-hormonal product out there.

I've been using 5 ETS caps a day for a while now. (a month). I haven't noticed a reduction in DOMS, or more energy, but I had some joint pain in my shoulder that is now all gone. I'm really glad about that. It was hurting a lot during bench pressing and I was afraid I'd have to stop it, but now I've been upping the weights and it's fine!

I also had some pretty bad pain in my right shoulder that really bugged me, in and out of the gym that is completely gone... And yeah, it is a huge relief.

The quality of my sleep has really deteriorated every night for the last week or more... I'm not sure what to attribute this to, maybe too much ZMA? Or maybe just becuase I am over training. My dreams are getting super crazy too. Hmm.

ETS is really a good product. You guys might want to check out the sales we are currently running.

I got my shipment of Nitrean/Opticen earlier this week. The Chocolate Opticen is easily one of the best tasting protein powders I've ever had. The taste is amazing! I absolutely love it!

I am a little disappointed to see the sale show up on JSF this morning. If I had waited a week to place my order I could have saved some cash. :(

Chris - question on the RESULTS... I have been taking it for a couple of weeks... something weird... every time I take it I get a tingling feeling all over my skin (kind of like I just took a bunch of Niacin). What is it in the product that is causing this? Is this normal? Should I be concerned? :confused:

The tingling is caused by the beta alanine, and is perfectly normal (it's not an allergic reaction or anything like that).

After a few weeks of using RESULTS my skin stopped tingling completely; however, some people never experience tingling and some always do.

What John said :).

I had been wondering which protein to order to to restock my supplies in a previous thread, and wisely went with AtLarge again. It arrived fast, and it was so fresh the scoop hadn't even settled to the bottom. :)

Love this stuff, the chocolate is so distinctive but tasty. Even my wife likes it, not as health food but just as 'yummy shake' when made with milk (I drink with water and it is damn good)

Thanks again guys.

Hey Chris,
On your website, how do I delete old addresses? I've moved twice since I started ordering from ALN, and my first address is still the default. Makes checking out a lot longer, as I need to change both the shipping and billing address. Could not find where to update customer info. I can add new addresses while ordering but not delete.
Thanks

Shoot Daniel an email at daniel@atlargenutrition.com. He is having connectivity problems today, but we get you an asnwer tomorrow.

Absolutely LOVE the Mint Novus Bars. I don't think they could be any better than they are. Cookie dough are okay, but the mint are fantastic! Can't wait for the next sale to stock up on them.

Cool, thanks for the comments!
I received my Nitrean and Novus Bars today. As soon as I saw the package I had to give the Nitrean a shot, even though I noticed it outside my door at 2 AM :)

Yep, it certainly does mix pretty easily. That is not to say there is no clumping, there is, but very minimal and you have to be looking for it, like I was :) I just used water, taste was not bad at all.

I am going to use 1 scoop to start the day and 1 before bed, does this sound fine chris? I also noticed the powder contains Glutamine which I read in some fitness magazine was important for weight training but I'm not sure how much I need. Does Nitrean contain all I need?

I only ordered 8 Novus bars, but received 10, cool! Maybe someone made a mistake, but I like it. Can't wait to try one out tomorrow!

I have only been weight training seriously for a month and a half now and I am considering ordering results. I am on the fence as I'm a novice and not sure if I need it. The thing is, my training and diet puts me in a calorific deficit as I'm trying to lose some fat so results would help in this case, wouldn't it? I'm worried about Creatine and the amount of water I need to drink with it. I have to sit at a desk for long portions of time and I'm worried I'm going to be peeing every 25 minutes. Any advice? Thanks

No mistake on the bars, we send a couple extra with first time customers. Glad you like the Nitrean! I would go with 2 scoops in water just before bed.

RESULTS would be excellent for your purposes, but for now, just use the Creatine 500 (or caps). You DON'T need a lot of water with creatine. That is online myth. Just drink normally and you will be fine. Try to take the creatine with either a protein shake or some kind of juice.

I'm in pretty much exactly the same situation as Oenophile at the moment - just getting starting with a serious weight training routine (using and LOVING Nitrean), but my primary goal being fat loss, and considering adding creatine to the mix to help build/maintain lean muscle and not sure whether to go with Results or Creatine 500; what's the difference? Should I (we) go with Creatine 500 to get started and switch over to Results sometime down the road?

RESULTS is by FAR the better product in terms of sheer results (yeah, I know). The only negative if you are concerned about body fat (and the reason I said what I said to the other fellow) is the 80g of dextrose it claims. The dextrose is for an insulin spike which aids shuttling the other ingredients to the muscle cells and generalized protein synthesis. If you control for the carbs it is no problem and I personally lost about 20 lbs of fat in 30 days while losing almost no body fat while using RESULTS. You can see more about that here:

http://atlargenutrition.com/newsdesk_info.php?newsdesk_id=118

On a related note, we are running a HUGE special on both RESULTS and Creatine Caps right now. With the caps you buy one and get the 2nd at half price! RESULTS is even crazier, go to the site and check it out.

Just was about to order some Nitrean and Creatine from your site since I had heard you ship to Japan, but then I noticed the shipping price. $57!!! I canceled my order for now, but is this accurate? Is there no cheaper shipping way? :/

Chris - question for you regarding NITREAN (or any other protein supplement) along with other foods...

Are there any foods that reduce the effectiveness of the protein when eaten together?

The reason behind this question... I always eat raw pineapple after my shake. Just today I had the thought... "I wonder if the acidity of the pineapple is in any way detrimental to the shake I just drank"

Hopefully my ? is clear. Thanks for your response!

Clear question. I have not researched the matter, but I very much doubt the pineapple will cause any issues with respect to protein absorption.

That is exactly what USPS charges us to ship it to you. In short, I know of no cheaper way to do that would be reasonable.

Darn :( Ok thanks.

I've had RESULTS on my shelf for a while and slowly went through a couple tubs. Honestly when I first tried it I could barely take the taste, and I would get all itchy and drowsy half an hour later.

Well I decided to get over that and give RESULTS an honest shot, and the last 2.5 weeks have been the first time I've taken it consistently enough to get a full loading. 1 hour before lifting or in the morning on non lifting days. It's tasting a lot better and I'm not getting all drowsy and itchy, and my last couple workouts have been INSANE. Absolutely nuts. Even though I have been cutting I was able to bump up my working weight 10 to 20 pounds depending on the exercise, or greatly increase the number of reps per set, and I was still bouncing around like a jackrabbit during rest periods. After these workouts I felt like I could run through a concrete wall or jump into low Earth orbit. Bodyfat is practically falling off me too. I feel just like Chris' account (http://atlargenutrition.com/newsdesk_info.php?newsdesk_id=118) of when he tested the stuff. Maybe I'm an exceptional case, but my mind is officially blown and I just want the next 34 hours to pass so I can go lift again.

Chris, I am taking advantage of your RESULTS special. I just ordered 2 more tubs and another fat loss stack. Thanks for the awesome products.

Viking, you are welcome!

Yeah, it sounds like you are experiencing what I did. It really is a neat product.

Be sure to keep the unused tubs in the fridge or freezer to help them keep.

Oh, and for anyone who does not like the cherry (I hate it - we are getting rid of it), the orange is EXCELLENT.

Hmm never had the orange. Worth a shot.

I have a question about RESULTS. I do not see your company or product listed on the website of MTI, which holds the patent rights for HMB. Is the product licensed? If so, why isn't it listed?

Edit: Yes, it is licensed (I asked MTI - you should probably ask them to add you to the official list). Just wanted to make sure before ordering - right now I have HMB tablets, but when those run out I might order this (not sure about all the dextrose, though).

Yep, we're legit. That's a good idea on their site. Try the product, you will really like what you get from it. The HMB in combo with the creatine and beta alanine is VERY potent.

Wish I had seen this before I ordered! Wonder how it would taste mixed with chocolate Nitrean... cherry chocolate shake? :doh:

Wish I had seen this before I ordered!
Personally I love the cherry, so withhold judgement until you try it for yourself. :)

Yeah, not bad actually. I mix mine with my morning shake every day.

I am getting ready to buy some more creatine and was looking at your fat loss supplements.

What is the key differentiators between nitor and thermocin? Advantages and disadvantages of each? They appear to be similar products with similar effects in the bit that I have read on your website, but there must be a difference or you wouldn't carry both.

THANKS!

Nitor is overall more potent. It is more potent relative to fat loss and has more stimulants.

I have been buying protein bars probably even before they became popular. I've eaten almost every kind/brand, making sure they didn't contain too much sugar, fat, and calories, and had enough high quality protein. My girlfriend also eats a lot of protein bars, mostly because she's on the go a lot.

Hands down, I think Novus bars are the best in not only nutritional profile, but also taste. (These are the only bars she eats now, and definitely the only bars she has touched that's more than 250 calories)

It occurred to me when I received my latest order of a fat loss stack and a couple of tubs of RESULTS that with the creatine already in the results, I don't really need the bottle of Creatine500. Just like you can upgrade that stack from Thermocin to Nitor for a little extra money, is there any chance of seeing the option of upgrading from the bottle of Creatine500 to a tub of RESULTS?

Also, a while back there was some talk of west coast warehousing to reduce shipping times to the left side of the country. Is there any more news on that?

Cheers
Erik

We probably won't add the RESULTS to the Fat Loss stack, no. We feel having too many options will overly complicate the issue for our customers and our shop software is somewhat limited.

We have not moved on the warehouse as it is just not economically feasible as of yet.

Got my order today. Extremely pleased with the speed. Haven't cracked it open yet but am very excited to!

update: Both bar types are pretty darn good. I think I prefer the mint.

Chris, are these bad boys made with malitol syrup or powder? It may be a really dumb question to you, but I don't understand the process of how they're made. Evidently it can have a decent sized swing in blood sugar.

A very quick google search pointed me here. I have no idea if its credible or not but it was an interesting read.

http://lowcarbdiets.about.com/od/nutrition/a/maltitol.htm

Hopefully they're made with the powder!

That portion of formulation that would involve that is not something I am directly involved with. I will say with 99% certainty that it is the powder based upon the net carb count of the bar.

I love ALN, I got my order last week of Nitrean, really nice stuff there I also got some Novus bars and the mint is amazing, keep the good work up guys, too bad after reading this thread I realized I missed the discount code for 15% off my orders, btw to Canadians, I didnt get any duties/customs and my order was nearly 300 bucks, really happy about this!

Hey, check out the site, we are running a general 15% off for the Thanksgiving holiday and it is still on!

The Novus bars, especially the mint, are freaking good. The first few bites are a little weird, but there after they are delightful.

I'm a poster here and nothing else, so you can take it for what its worth that these are tasty. The mint is fricking good.

Hey Chris, LOVE the RESULTS. The (pardon the pun) results I've gotten from using it over the last three weeks have been nothing short of incredible. AWESOME product with one caveat.

Hate the bottle. My giant mitt barely fits through the opening at the top and makes for difficult scooping. I don't know if you have plans to widen the mouth of the bottle or not, but it would make using the product much easier.

Keep up the great work and the awesome products!

Hey Chris!

First of all, thanks for such great customer service! I just received my RESULTS in the mail literally a few mintues ago and I am super excited to try it today! I also appreciate the NOVUS bars, I am sure I will end up buying some!

Also, I was wondering if there was going to be some kind of Christmas/Holiday Special this month.

Thanks,

Michael

Don't tell anyone, but we are going to run a large Nitrean tub promotion starting in the next day or so... :whistle:

Chris, I wanted to order Results in orange. Any idea when it will be available?

To make a long story short, as many of you know we had a shelf-life issue with RESULTS. To resolve the issue we have been working with some outside companies and the process has taken longer than we had initially hoped. We expect to have the matter resolved within the next 4-5 weeks.

Thanks for your patience!

Oh, and we will also have a new flavor which is quite good!

Im going to order some ALN products tonight, probably the fat loss stack...need to educate myself a little more on the website what each supplement is designed for.

Two reasons. First, i really trust the senior members on JSFF and there seems to be a lot of positive feedback. I think supplements are like cars--it never hurts to ask people who know what they're doing, because there's a lot of rubbish and overpriced options out there!

Second, I seem to have hit a bit of a wall, and while i know changing supplements isnt going to be a panacea, a bit of a shakeup couldnt hurt. Besides, doing the math, it doesnt cost any more than what im paying for isopure now.

Well high marks on the delivery time--just got my order in and having a novus bar right now for my pm snack; this is the first protein bar ive had that i actually like the taste of; those bars you get at GNC taste like deep fried condoms and dont have great macros.

I did my first workout today with ALN; I managed to do my first proper pull up ever so I'm really happy! Sorry, I'm going to take the credit for that, but am really happy I gave your products a try just the same. It's the best possible start I could have hoped for!

By the way, the coupon code you need to enter at checkout is febsale. :)

Hi, i started a thread in the main sub section, but i guess i should of probably done it in here.

I was wondering what kind of sugar contents there is in Nitrean? I see sucralose, but cant find anything other info. So how much Sucralose is in 1 scoop of Nitrean?

thanks!

Sucralose is not sugar. It is an artificial sweetener (with a close relationship to sugar).

The only sugars in Nitrean are a small amount of lactose from some of the milk proteins in the product. It runs about 2-3g per serving.

Thanks for the answer!

but i guess i worded it wrong.

I really wanted to know how much sucralose there is in every scoop of nitrean.

I honestly cannot remember off the top of my head. I will check and get back with you.

Just got my first order from AtLarge yesterday. 3 buckets of Nitrean w/ the febsale discount, a free 'turbo shaker' :) I thought it was a good price, and got great service, I'll be back for more soon. Thanks!

Thank you! Just an FYI, your next order will get to you quicker. We literally quintupled our business during the sale and it backed us up by 2-4 days depending on when the order was placed.

No problem at all, you actually shipped it in very good time. I only asked for the tracking # since my house gets confused with another one in our neighborhood a lot (same # and street name, but lane/street/road/court gets mixed up), and figured it had done missing :) Thanks again! Oh, and glad the sale worked for you, it's good to see some businesses having success.
