I've taken many pre-workout supps over the last few years: Jack3d, Superpump 250, N.O. Explode (both the old and new), Black powder, Nano Vapor etc...
Here's how I'd rank this product;
Taste 9/10: This is the best tasting pre-workout I've taken by a long shot. It's a little sweet if you don't mix it with enough water, but other than that it's not hard to drink at all. (I've only tried the Blue Artic Raspberry and it does turn your tongue blue...)
Mixability 9/10: No problems mixing this. Gave it a few shakes and one nice thing is that it doesn't pop your shaker bottle open and splatter which some other's do.
Pumps 6/10: Sort of disappointing here because I didn't get that huge pump that I'm used to and even when taking a full scoop it really didn't do much. I know that the pump isn't the most important thing, but it's a good feeling and sort of important to me.
Energy 8/10: This supp gave me a nice smooth energy that lasted well beyond my workouts, in fact I felt really good afterwards almost euphoric. This might not be what some people are used to if you like Jack3d which is a strong stimulant based supp. So if you like that strong rush of energy, maybe this won't be enough to satisfy.

I was skeptical to try this pre-workout supplement not only because it is a new product but because it is very inexpensive.
So let's jump into the review:
PRO'S: Intense energy! Better than Jack3D, Assault, and N.O. Explode! This product gives me an intense focus and makes me lift heavy and strong in the gym! Also this supplement is excellent when it comes to cardio! I just ran 4 miles last week and I still had energy to spare.

Another pro is the nutrition label. Muscletech discloses everything that is in this product so you know that you aren't consuming artificial sweeteners or anything that will hurt your body. USP Labs was just sued for their product (Jack3D) because of the ingredient 1-3 dimethylamylamine, which has been shown to contribute to heart attacks and makes you very tired after a workout. They were sued because two soldiers died of heart attacks while taking Jack3D and officials speculated that 1-3 dimethylamylamine contribued to the death of these soldiers. It's important as a consumer to know what you are putting in your body. Fortunately Neurocore doesn't contain 1-3 dimethylamylamine, so you know this supplement will be healthier for your body.

CON'S:
The taste of Neurocore is HORRIBLE. This stuff tastes like a cough drop laced with bleach!
However, I don't know any athlete who takes a supplement for the taste! I tried Muscle Pharm's Assault and that tastes AMAZING, but it didn't give me a pump. I felt like I was spending $40 dollars on cool-aid!
I gave Neurocore a 4/5 because this supplement works better than other products that I have tried, it's just that the taste is horrible which is a deterrent.

One of the issues I had with this product was the "appetite control" part. Most of the time I would be hungry, yet I wouldn't feel like eating(after taking the pills in the morning). Good thing right? Wrong! This was bad because after an hour, that hunger would strike, and I would always be at work. I did take snacks and stuff, but the problem was that it made me lose my appetite, though I still felt hungry. In other words, I would be hungry, but couldn't eat anything because my body wouldn't let me(mouth wouldn't let me swallow, made food feel "nasty").

There was no "energy boost" either, but that's because my body is very stim resistant.
One more thing, I do not recommend this to runners, or suggest anyone work out intensely immediately after consuming this product. On more than one occasion, especially when I ran, I felt like a heart attack or something was about to happen. I listened to my body and stopped, and eventually it went away.

It did help me lose weight, and did help me with portion control as I got fuller quicker. The first few days I had to urinate a lot, but eventually it happened less frequent. Great product, a few ups and downs, but overall 4 out of 5 for me.

I agree with the other reviews that Muscle Milk does contain more sugar and fat than most other protein supplements, but you're talking about 6 grams of fat per serving, and just two grams of sugar. Not that much. If you're on a super strict diet, then fair enough but if you're using this as a meal replacement or a post-workout recovery drink I think it fits the bill perfectly. I also like how it has glutamine already in the mix, not very much so I still supplement it separately as well but still a nice touch have an amino acid like that in a protein shake.

The only other amino acid I think is worth taking is beta alanine, Beta Alanine Bulk Powder 100 Grams. This one actually increases the ability to signal muscle cells and releases growth hormone, also increases the metabolism naturally. I don't believe in taking amino blends, but if they are included in the protein I am taking, I won't complain. I will however, still add the necessary components to build muscle and I have always preferred to go to the ones that have been proven to work.

So, if your looking for the best tasting protein (i.e. actually tastes like a chocolate milkshake), then you can do no better than Muscle Milk. One tip is to put some ice in the blender when mixing, makes it taste almost like a malt. And unless you're in a serious bulking phase, drinking this post-workout makes the most sense, since your body will suck up the extra sugar and fat that make this shake taste so good and use it for recovery.

Who Knows What a Person Can Get Including a Whey Protein Shake to the Ration

Among a diversity of meal replacement shakes that can be found within many stores or dealers today, there is the one that predominates over all the others - whey protein shake. The prerogative of this kind of shake is that it doesn’t only help you to promote the weight loss, but also to improve your general state.


We are not trying to impose on you our own ideas concerning the protein shakes, but supply you with the latest researchers’ results as to the real benefit of whey protein.

There was held a twelve weeks study, with tens of participants and 90 % of those people lost over 10% of their weight after a period of using a whey shake as a main ingredient of their protein diets. The average amount of the calories they lost per day was 500, presuming only 20 g of whey daily. Well the results are shocking. Those people who are constantly trying to loose the weight know how difficult it is to keep to a diet, and the loss in 500 calories is considered to be a great success. Besides, protein shakes of whey are generally viewed as safe. Generally doesn’t mean completely.
McKinley Health Center states that people with milk energies may feel slight symptoms, discomfort. Even those who don’t have allergic reactions should consult a doctor before they start protein diet as whey contains islolates and hydrolysates and has less lactose.

Well, there is one more point of view that is quite different from what we used to hear about whey protein which is stuffed with vitamins. To those who support the idea that the whey shake can cause weight gain also belongs Katherine Zeratsky, R.D., LD. LD., of the Mayo Clinic. The doctor states the many people in America have experienced the negative side of the protein medal. Katherine Zeratsky argues that this shake only adds to the total calorie intake.

As you see there are different points of views. The best way for you to find out if this kind of protein shakes suits your body is to consult your doctor and only he really knows how your body is going to react to such a change.

Whey Protein Shakes

Whey protein shakes are unbeatable favorites nowadays - and not only among the bodybuilders and professional athletes. Many of us - common people - choose whey protein for our personal needs and purposes. Some of us want to lose weight, some - in the opposite - to gain; and we all would like to achieve our goals in the most pleasant and healthy way.
First of all, let's find out, why the whey protein shakes are so highly recommended and so popular.

The thing is, that whey protein is produced from milk - from the whey, to be exact. The share of the whey protein in milk is approximately 20%. It's distinguishing feature is a very high speed of assimilation by the human body. Whey protein contains all essential amino acids and because of it's high speed of digestion it has a positive effect on the body for 1.5 - 2 hours, so it is actually recommended to use small amounts of whey protein shakes at frequent intervals (let's say, every 3 - 4 hours). Many professional bodybuilders believe, that whey protein is just one perfect product, that is ideal for using immediately after your workouts.
How to make whey protein shakes by yourself? This is the main concern for athletes and bodybuilders.

To be honest, the easiest way is to make it from a protein mixture (protein powder, that is offered nowadays by many companies, that are producting healthy food), but also there are many other recipes for delicious and nutritious beverage that should complement your daily meals. Remember, that without the well balanced nutrition of a fine quality you will not be able to build muscles. More than that - in general to withstand adequately the stress of power training (especially with weights), that is necessary for the right construction of your body mass, the right and healthy food, taken in the proper time, is essential. Also it is good to remember, that you can not rely on a vegetarian diet - even if it is supported by the best whey protein shakes, it does not make sense for the athletic purposes. These are the facts derived from the basic physiology of muscle activity and nutrition, and trying to trick the nature will bring you no good.
