Overall: 8 | Effectiveness: 9 | Value: 7 To start I want to say I love Gaspari nutrition supplements. They usually deliver in quality and I think its a great

company overall.

Effectiveness 9/10Size on is awesome in effectiveness. It is loaded with carbohydrates to keep glycogen stores full while you are working out, 6 grams of bcaa and over 6 grams of creatine. The blueberry flavor tastes great and is enjoyable to sip on while lifting.

Value 8/1040 bucks for a month of servings really isn't great at all but its a good product so I had to try.

Overall 8/10Pretty good product. Lots of creatine, does make me bloated a little. Its got a lot of leucine which is a bonus and is great for adding endurance and recovery to workouts

Pros: Taking It Increase Your Energy Builds Muscle Tastes Great And Refreshing At Least Lemon Ice Does Huge Strength Increase Recovery Cons: Too Expensive Bloating
