2008 Best in Class Awards
Every year, there's a spirited competition among various manufacturers for entry into the Top 3 in each of our product categories. Few products earn this honor and few stay there for very long. The ProSource Product Testing Team conducts a comprehensive performance evaluation to arrive at the Best in Class rankings. This process includes:
In addition, the ProSource Product Testing Team refers to available consumer ratings as featured through our online database and our customer survey program for additional feedback and insight into overall product satisfaction. Factoring in such independent customer feedback helps to ensure objectivity when reviewing our own brands and/or brands that we have some affiliation with such as BioQuest, ProtaQuest, and Supreme Protein®. To earn a Best in Class designation, a supplement must be guaranteed to maximize results for the serious bodybuilder or fitness enthusiast. These Best in Class entries represent the highest-rated, highest-quality products of their kind and have more than earned their Gold Seal rating based on their extraordinary attributes. Premium ProteinsVectron | NytroWhey Ultra | NytroPlex GF Indisputably bodybuilding's most essential element, protein supplementation has recently taken a turn towards advanced technologies that provide levels of muscle synthesis that would have seemed impossible just a couple years ago. Beyond isolates and standard whey blends, these highly anabolic mass builders use even more advanced filtration while relying on new cutting-edge hydrolyzing processes that yield even quicker-absorbing protein fractions for results above and beyond the basic protein. Another very notable development has been the advent of a clinically validated weight-management whey protein matrix that may be the beginning of a revolutionary muscle support/weight-loss category.
Vectron: It looks like Supreme Protein® may be about to revolutionize the premium proteins category in the same way that it has dominated the protein bar market over the last year or so. Much as the Supreme Protein® bar represented a radical re-thinking of what a protein bar can and should be, Vectron reinforces a protein formula's primary action (supporting and preserving lean muscle mass) and expands that action to include targeting fat loss as well.
Vectron is powered by an elite new fractionated protein complex called Prolibra®. Its proprietary composition includes a specialized bioactive peptide matrix along with a special whey mineral complex designed to precisely target key mechanisms of body transformation. This revolutionary new protein source recently generated an industrywide sensation when its clinical triumphs were published in leading scientific journals. In an independent, randomized, double-blind, 12-week clinical trial commissioned by the makers of Prolibra® and published in the Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism, test subjects showed significant improvements in the ratio of lean mass to fat while taking just 24.4 grams of Prolibra® per day compared to a control group taking an isocaloric placebo. Specifically, subjects taking Prolibra® retained twice as much lean muscle and lost 6.1% of their body fat. In a separate randomized double-blind 16 week clinical trial, subjects again lost nearly 6% bodyfat whereas the control group lost just over 2%. These extraordinary clinical findings go beyond anything we've ever seen for a protein-based supplement. But then when you consider the fact that they were achieved with less than 25 grams of Prolibra® protein per day, they are all that much more remarkable. There is little question that this revolutionary new protein represents the most powerful product of its kind ever created. Clearly, Vectron offers the most comprehensive approach to getting truly ripped while retaining hard-earned muscle mass that we've ever seen. As a result, Vectron goes directly to the top of our Premium Proteins ranking.
Top Fat BurnersBetaStax | Xenadrine RFA-X | Tetrazene Extreme Recently, weight-loss technologies have undergone a transition from the one-dimensional stimulant-based fat incinerators (which unfortunately have a propensity to burn muscle as well) to the inclusion of multi-pathway technologies in one formula. A few products now forgo the stimulants altogether with even greater weight-loss efficacy, while others offer a more subtle alertness and incorporate advanced technologies from patented extracts and highly advanced compounds. At the heart of these new formulas are ultra bioactive botanicals that have been highly processed to offer results quicker and more effectively than anything since the banned ephedra.
BetaStax: Here's a deep, dark secret that you'll only learn from your friends at ProSource. The vast majority of thermogenic supplement manufacturers don't commission any sort of original clinical research at all. They're not in the business of advancing the science of weight-loss or fat-burning technology. Real independent clinical research costs money. A lot of money. Instead, these companies are in the business of packaging and re-packaging already existing technologies, putting a new marketing spin on them and selling them for a quick buck.
And then there's BioQuest. We could talk all day about their stringent ingredient quality-control standards and their obsessive attention to product detail. But what most impresses us about BioQuest is their willingness to underwrite truly cutting-edge clinical investigations into new and unique life-improving technologies. Which brings us to BioQuest's new BetaStax. First and foremost, BetaStax is a fat-burning thermogenic powerhouse, like no other we've seen before. Its proprietary matrix of ultra-bioactive, pharmaceutical-grade energy factors provide for a rapid delivery and a dramatic energy rush that you literally can feel within minutes. This profound effect sets BetaStax apart from anything we've tested before, but it gets even better. At the same time, BetaStax triggers a significant appetite suppression effect achieved by way of diminished postprandial glycemic load and subsequent enhanced release of the neuro-hormone Cholescystokinin (CCK), which has been linked to weight-loss efficacy. Working synergistically, these physiological processes have the power to promote statistically significant weight-loss in as early as two weeks. Astoundingly, this is no idle and sensationalized manufacturer's claim. This is a preliminary conclusion reached by independent medical researchers conducting a landmark clinical study at a major American university. The implications of this clinically validated success are clearly immense. Never before have we seen a dietary supplement that could promote clinically significant weight-loss in such a short period of time. As more exciting clinical data continues to emerge, we feel confident in stating that BetaStax may well be the most powerful product of its kind in this new generation of advanced weight-loss technologies.
Top Muscle BuildingMyoZene | Anator P70 This category has had its share of technological advancements of late with ultra-quick-absorbing hydrolyzed proteins recently topping the list. Alongside this, technologies involved in the utilization of testosterone and less traditional approaches to protein synthesis enhancement have seen incredible user results, suggesting there is much more to come from advancements in anabolic-support, non-protein research methods. Along these lines, a considerable scientific breakthrough in the field of myostatin inhibition has produced a compound that may actually be as effective, or quite possibly even more effective than anabolic steroids. This revolutionary technology may well have a profound effect on the sport of bodybuilding and should prove to be an exciting new product.
Top Meal ReplacementNutriPure Supreme | Macrobolic MRP | Lean Mass Complex The most notable improvement to meal replacements of late has been the welcome addition of more health-oriented carbohydrate blends along with premium protein profiles. The few manufacturers who have incorporated these have also taken a considerable lead in popularity, leaving a wide margin between elite manufacturers and the makers of less desirable MRPs with lower-grade proteins and simple sugars. With the public becoming more health conscious each year, products with complex carbohydrates (oat bran, rice bran) and proteins such as micellar casein for longer satiety and soy isolate and CFM whey isolate for superior utilization are much preferred. Hopefully this will be a future trend as this category could benefit greatly.
NutriPure Supreme: Given the recent surge in wholesale prices of proteins and other quality nutrients, manufacturers have been sorely tempted of late to cut corners in less high-profile categories like MRPs. That's a shame because the science behind MRPs has finally advanced to the point where the best products have emerged as true transformational agents of precision-targeted nutrition.
Take NutriPure Supreme, for example. NutriPure Supreme is the premier prototype of a new kind of MRP, one that boasts a number of cutting-edge features that elevate it literally into a category of its own. This state-ofthe-art Super-High Nutrient Repartitioning System is a complex of super-advanced proteins and a superior carbohydrate/fiber/healthy fats profile precision-targeted to drive simultaneous muscle growth and fat loss. Unlike virtually every other product in the MRP category, NutriPure Supreme contains premium grades of CFM whey isolate and micellar casein, plus whey hydrolysate subjected to an unusually high degree of hydrolysis. This broad spectrum of ultra-rapid, medium- and slow-absorption proteins has the capacity to drive extreme anabolism for many hours at a time. Until the introduction of NutriPure Supreme, it was virtually unheard of to include such elite protein sources in an MRP. In fact, NutriPure Supreme is the only MRP we've found that contains a high percentage of the elite form of micellar casein protein. This is the same type of specialized protein that made the original Met-Rx so desirable among hardcore bodybuilders back in its heyday (the current generation of Met-Rx no longer includes this very expensive protein source). Even in this top 3 ranking, the other products contain the inferior form of calcium caseinate which does not contain the critical growth factors found in the superior micellar form. At the same time, NutriPure Supreme provides a superior carb blend including complex oat bran and sweet potato powder which makes for extended energy levels, glycogen replenishment, and satiety. It also incorporates 7 grams of anabolic lipids per serving from healthy sources (high-oleic sunflower oil, CLA, and flaxseed) and a full compliment of vitamins and minerals for antioxidant protection, energy production and macronutrient assimilation/absorption. Finallly, a digestive enzyme blend supports maximal use of its high-quality protein. Now more than ever, it pays to subject MRP nutritional panels to close observation. As increased production costs result in quality trade-offs in competing MRPs, NutriPure Supreme maintains the highest standards in ingredient quality and processing standards. Its superior nutritional profile and unsurpassed quality give it the precision building blocks needed for simultaneous muscle growth and fat-loss. Even as the competition (in many cases) takes a step back, NutriPure Supreme continues to reign virtually unchallenged in the category.Given the recent surge in wholesale prices of proteins and other quality nutrients, manufacturers have been sorely tempted of late to cut corners in less high-profile categories like MRPs. That's a shame because the science behind MRPs has finally advanced to the point where the best products have emerged as true transformational agents of precision-targeted nutrition.
Top Vitamins & MineralsSuper Mega Max | Activite Sport | Vital Men's Higher potencies were all the rage in vitamin/mineral formulas years ago, which offered large amounts of mostly antioxidants with a few minerals. The high dose A, C and E formulas are still here with many manufacturers also adding an extract matrix to enhance free-radical protection even further and support energy, endurance and focus. The standard vitamin compounds themselves have changed as well with new forms of D, E and most of all C, which has shown the most notable upgrades with esterified forms as well as a new, highly bioavailable form containing C lipid-metabolites. Many of the new upgrades in performance multis have shown great promise and now go well beyond anything previously offered for protection and energy assistance.
Super MegaMax: Here's some bad news for competing manufacturers hoping to overtake the category leader in high-potency, highly bioavailable, wide-spectrum vitamin and mineral supplementation. ProSource's MegaMax has been updated and improved once again. In an industry in which many manufacturers offer the same obsolete vitamin formula year after year, MegaMax is always adapting and evolving to incorporate the latest supplement science. New Super MegaMax has been reformulated to include PureWay-C®, an exciting new form of vitamin C that contains vitamin C-lipid metabolites. This consumer friendly form enhances the delivery, availability, absorption kinetics, distribution, uptake, concentration, and utilization efficacy of essential vitamin C in the body. PureWay-C® also prolongs blood plasma and tissue retention of vitamin C.
Super MegaMax is specifically designed for hard training athletes and provides far greater potencies of key vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants than competing formulas. For example, Super MegaMax contains 100 times the potency of energizing B-12 per serving, as compared to the popular Animal Paks formula. A supercharged potency such as this is especially important to hard training athletes because B-12, like all B-vitamins, is water soluble and much is lost through the sweat of an intense workout session. Super MegaMax delivers powerful antioxidant support, including lycopene, quercetin, N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC), CoQ10, alpha lipoic acid and more not found in standard formulas. The MSM and boron content in Super MegaMax is crucial to joint health, while calcium boosts bone density and inositol assists with fat utilization. Finally, this elite vitmain/mineral/antioxidant formula is also rich in the mineral content needed to support proper composition of body fluids and healthy nerve function. The most important test of a superior multivitamin is whether or not it actually makes you feel better. That's a test that MegaMax (and now new Super MegaMax) has been passing with flying colors for several years now as MegaMax has literally dominated the category when it comes to customer feedback ratings. Even as the hardcore daily multiple continually evolves to reflect advances in vitamin/mineral synethesis and optimization, legions of athletes and fitness enthusiasts know that they can count on Super MegaMax to support their high-intensity workout regimens and busy, active lifestyles.
Top Testosterone BoostersAndroTest Extreme | AndroTest | MHP T-Bomb II A highly aggressive and competitive market, natural test boosters have made a dramatic transition in the last four years. The most significant change in this genre has been the inclusion of very high-grade extracts that have shown remarkable synergistic ability with other mainstream, traditional compounds. In particular, a highly bioactive Tribulus terrestris with an unprecedented protodioscin content has made a particularly strong standing in this category, offering a clinically validated testosterone enhancement unheard of since the days of prohormones. This compound represents the most highly effective among the new class of multifaceted T-boosters.
AndroTest Extreme: With so many test boosters available, how can you go about choosing the most effective? Easy. Choose the one that's been clinically validated in a landmark study.
If you've spent any time surveying the major brands, you've noticed that virtually none of them can boast that kind of clinical documentation. Which is why choosing the #1 product in this category is surprisingly simple. AndroTest Extreme takes the groundbreaking technology that made original AndroTest a revolutionary formulation and ramps up its T-boosting power even further by incorporating the latest and most powerful herbal precursor agent—a specialized fenugreek extract standardized for 50% fenusides and trade-named Testofen™. This potent extract contains steroidal saponins, sapogenins, and furostanol saponins, which act as precursors for the synthesis of sex hormones. Remarkably, this precursor compound has been shown in a human clinical study to increase free testosterone levels by 98.81% (after 8 weeks in healthy subjects), while decreasing skin fold thickness in triceps and thighs by 20.18% and 14.64% respectively, with no reduction in bodyweight (indicating a direct reduction in body fat, and an increase in muscle mass). These astounding results were achieved with a clinically administered daily dose of 600 mg of Testofen™, the same daily dosage that is present in new AndroTest Extreme. This new innovation is combined with two more potent clinically verified T-boosting compounds: an Ultra-Complete Spectrum Highly Active Bulgarian Tribulus standardized for an unprecedented 40% protodioscin (up to 40 times more potent than standard forms of tribulus), and an LJ-100 Specialized Extract of Eurycoma Longifolia standardized for 28% bioactive glycopeptide compound and clinically verified to produce significant increases in both free and total testosterone levels. This powerful synergy enables AndroTest to strongly influence multiple mechanisms/pathways of testosterone production, maintain it in its free and unbound (or active) state, and inhibit conversion of testosterone to estrogenic hormones. The result is an unparalleled natural anabolic matrix that takes testosterone enhancement to the outter limits. These innovations give rise to what is clearly the most potent product of its kind ever created.
Top Energy ProductsBetaStax | Tetrazene Extreme | Extreme Caffeine A few products have emerged in this category that represent a welcome move toward energy without over-stimulation. The main focus of these formulas is in their ultra effective neural enhancing botanicals that sharpen focus and cognitive ability without affecting the central nervous system like some of the more highly stimulating compounds. In combination with research driven botanical extracts that have even greater synergy and effect than traditional thermogenics, for the very first time since ephedra, very effective energy-production technologies will be at hand again, setting the stage for the next generation of energy boosters.
BetaStax: In addition to being a fat-burning thermogenic powerhouse that has been shown in a major clinical study to promote statistically significant weight-loss in as early as two weeks, BetaStax is also a powerful energy booster that has earned ecstatic praise from an expert panel of ProSource testers convened to assess its effectiveness. Indeed, many on the panel went so far as to say that BetaStax unleashed an energy rush exceeding that of the ephedra/caffeine stacks of a decade ago, while virtually eliminating jitters and edginess.
BetaStax derives its unprecedented effectiveness from an extensive program of research into new and unique methods of stimulating energy production pathways. This research has led to the inclusion of a powerful new energy co-factor called sulbutiamine. This novel fat-soluble derivative of thiamine (Vitamin B-1) has the unique ability to cross the blood brain barrier and yield profound effects on wakefulness, memory, and focus. In fact, some researchers believe that it may in fact be the most potent neuro-active compound of its kind for counteracting fatigue and promoting focus. This breakthrough energy co-factor is combined with pharmaceutical grade methylxanthines along with other potent adrenergic amines for maximal energy output. The power of this explosive energy matrix is further enhanced through a unique ultra fast-acting Liquid-Speed™ delivery system which yields the ultimate rapid energy rush. Just one dose is all it takes to come to the undeniable conclusion that nothing else even comes close.
Top Protein BarsSupreme Protein Bars | Up Your Mass | Macrobolic Bars The best of this class are those that have risen to the higher-level quality standards that have become expected in an industry adjusting to consumer demand for healthier alternatives. It is no longer acceptable to throw in a large amount of inferior protein along with simple sugar and pass it off as a performance protein bar. And it's fairly well established now that along with a highly anabolic protein source and other quality ingredients, taste does not have to be compromised. Accordingly, the public has responded favorably to those bars that use pure whey blends, natural oils and healthier carb profiles.
Supreme Protein®: With major fitness publications and retail organizations lining up to award "Protein Bar of the Year" and "Product of the Year" accolades to Supreme Protein®, we've now got plenty of company when it comes to saluting our favorite muscle building premium-protein bar.
Supreme Protein® literally stands alone as the world's only true gourmet protein bar composed of the highest quality protein blend (30 grams, including premium whey isolate). The protein blend in Supreme Protein® is so anabolically active that it is the first bar of its kind that we know of that can be eaten immediately post-workout to trigger anabolism and support muscle repair and growth, while helping athletes stay lean. This superior protein content in and of itself establishes Supreme Protein® as the undisputed leader in this category, but there's more. In fact, a lot more. Supreme Protein® contains healthy fats, including flaxseed oil, an excellent spectrum of vitamins and minerals, and zero trans fat. And then there's the taste. To get a sense of how innovative this bar is, you can simply cut one in half and see how it's constructed. Most protein bars consist of a lump of dry processed protein and a thin chocolate-flavored coating. Look at a cross-section of a Supreme Protein® bar, and you'll see four distinct layers of flavorful confection that make every bar a treat you'll look forward to throughout the day. Much like its superiority in the protein quality department, Supreme Protein® is truly light years ahead of the competition in taste and texture. As a result, it has been racking up prestigious awards from leading magazines and industry organizations who've been quick to recognize its extraordinary attributes (visit supremeprotein.com for the full list of accolades). At the same time, Supreme Protein® has become a runaway best seller at major retailers nationwide such as GNC, 7-11, Sports Authority, Circle-K, and many others, providing more evidence of its emerging dominance in the protein category. For those of you who value variety, you'll be glad to know that the new Supreme Protein® Peanut Butter Crunch bar contains the same superior proteins and performance nutrition as the original. However, according to initial customer feedback, many believe it actually tastes even better than the amazingly delicious original Caramel Nut Chocolate flavor. As far as we're concerned, Supreme Protein® marks the evolution of the protein bar into a full-fledged muscle-supporting agent of the first class.
Top Pre Workout ProductsnaNO Vapor | FusionForce | Super Pump 250 This is another category that has shown to have greatly benefited from intensive research in compound synergism and the development of cutting edge new technologies. The basic thrust from these is still the tried and true AKG/creatine format with energy co-factors (B-vitamins, caffeine); the more progressive manufacturers though have added technologies that help to prolong the AKG "pump" and deliver even more muscular energy as well as assist endurance. Beta alanine, at the forefront of new scientific study for its nitrogen enhancing and lactic acid buffering assistance, is also preferred for some of the more serious products in this genre.
naNO Vapor: NaNO Vapor is an excellent example of a product moving to Best in Class due to sheer overwhelming customer support. Here at ProSource, we often have trouble keeping NaNO Vapor in stock, so MuscleTech must be doing something right. MuscleTech's penchant for including somewhat obscure proprietary matrixes (which are difficult to analyze because of undocumented dosages) on their label sometimes makes us wary, but NaNO Vapor's tremendous popularity is apparently well-founded.
NaNO Vapor contains six different proprietary blends designed to effect vasodilation (arginine), cell volumization (creatine monohydrate, taurine, creatine anhydrous, creatine malate), peak energy (caffeine anhydrous, yohimbine, yerba mate) focus (vinpocetine), carnosine potentiation (beta alanine), and protein synthesis (leucine). NaNO Vapor also offers a further refinement on its "nano-particulation" technology. This supplement, like its predecessor, appears to utilize a combination of arginine-based vasodilating compounds subjected to a very precise pneumatic and jet-milling processing system to produce very tiny (and, theoretically) more bioavailable particles. Arginine, of course, is a potentiator of nitric oxide in the bloodstream which can, in turn, facilitate increased vasodilation, enhanced nutrient delivery, and an extendedduration muscle pump. We get a considerable amount of feedback on this product, almost all of it laudatory with regard to NaNO Vapor's superior capacity as a workout energizer and focus enhancer. All-in-all, we believe NaNO Vapor is one of the most advanced products in this highly competitive category. For those of you who value variety, you'll be glad to know that the new Supreme Protein® Peanut Butter Crunch bar contains the same superior proteins and performance nutrition as the original. However, according to initial customer feedback, many believe it actually tastes even better than the amazingly delicious original Caramel Nut Chocolate flavor. As far as we're concerned, Supreme Protein® marks the evolution of the protein bar into a full-fledged muscle-supporting agent of the first class.
Top Joint Support FormulasJoint Command | ElastiJoint | Ultra Cissus Of all the different categories this one perhaps has the most ingredients copied from one formula to the other, with the well-proven glucosamine and chondroitin topping the list. These are, along with MSM, the most well verified and clinically documented of all connective tissue repair agents, so much so that products that use higher potencies of these, along with comprehensive support compounds, are offering anecdotal results that rival some prescription medications. One other ingredient has emerged recently as an extremely promising 4th addition to the list with very impressive research to validate its efficacy. Cissus Quandragularis has shown enough anti-inflammatory assistance to provide the basis of a joint support product on its own and very quickly has established a strong following.
Joint Command: The secret to Joint Command's long reign at the top of the Joint Support category is actually no secret at all. Competing manufacturers are simply unable—or unwilling—to match Joint Command's extraordinary matrix of seven different joint-supportive active compounds. Instead, they are content to make due with the most common ingredients—glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin sulfate, often in inferior extracts or substandard potencies.
Certainly, published scientific research concerning the seven different restorative compounds found in Joint Command is not in short supply. The biggest hurdle for competing manufacturers most likely lies in purchasing ultra-premium quality raw materials (of the kind found in Joint Command) and then manufacturing a product that could be made available at a sensible price. After all, if you can't compete with the industry leader in pricing, why even commit to the R&D necessary to enter the marketplace? When it comes to ingredient quality, this is the category's gold standard. Joint Command's dosage (1500 mg) of pure, stabilized, 98% absorbable glucosamine sulfate is exactly calibrated to match the potencies that have generated noticeable improvements in joint health and flexibility in clinical research. Joint Command also contains a high-potency dosage of chondroitin sulfate, known for its ability to prevent cartilage breakdown, plus methyl-sulfonyl-methane (MSM), an organic sulfate, which may help decrease joint degeneration and inflammation. In addition to this "Big 3", Joint Command also contains UC Type II collagen, which is a key component of connective tissue, and is essential for promoting strength, mobility, and flexibility. Lyprinol, a lipid oil extracted from green-lipped sea mussels, is included for its anti-inflammatory properties. Nexrutine is a powerful COX 2 inhibitor and finally, Fruitex, an organic boron oxy-compound, plays a critical role in keeping bones and joints healthy. Joint Command has been the runaway top-selling supplement in this category since shortly after it was introduced. In fact, actual customer ratings give this product an undisputed landslide victory in the joint support category. Until competing manufacturers demonstrate a willingness to step up to the plate and formulate a truly wide-spectrum joint-support matrix, we expect this state of affairs to remain unchanged for some time to come.
Top Creatine ProductsSynthaTrex Xtreme | Dark Matter | SizeOn Creatine supplementation has seen many changes in the 10 years since this effective bodybuilding tool was introduced. The more research-intensive companies have developed advanced technologies that assure very fast absorption and enhance synergistic action between creatine and other compounds such as Beta alanine, an amino acid that has been shown to increase the effect of creatine and improve nitrogen balance. The leaders in this category have shown remarkable effectiveness at quick recovery and exceptional muscle growth.
SynthaTrex Xtreme: The original SynthaTrex gave a whole new meaning to the phrase creatine transport with its super fast-acting vasodilation and creatine utilization compounds that helped launch a new market of zero-sugar creatine formulas. Then, after SynthTrex established itself as the leader in low-carb creatine formulas, SynthaTrex Xtreme took creatine transport to the outter limits with the most highly validated mechanism for packing creatine into muscle tissue—the creatine monohydrate plus high glycemic carbs model. This upgrade has helped make the Xtreme version one of the most successful sequels in the industry with an even more incredible response than the original. But this is only part of the success story. To further add to the insulinogenic response, Xtreme was fortified with 4-hydroxyisoleucine and taurine, while potent levels of beta alanine were added to support increased carnosine production for enhanced muscle endurance. It was further amplified with the inclusion of betaine anhydrous to enhance nutrient delivery and the super-cell-hydrator glycerol monostearate to facilitate extreme and almost immediate cell volumization. All of these are in addition to SynthaTrex's original potent matrix of superior cell-volumizers and high-speed vasodilators. SynthaTrex Xtreme is distinguished in this category not only by these cuttingedge advancements but also by the fact that its core formula is the most scientifically validated creatine concept available today. Study after study has shown that creatine in the monohydrate form combined with high glycemic carbs is the highly effective method to maximizing creatine uptake into muscles. To the contrary, many other products in the category utilize completely untested and unproven creatine esters which represent little more than a marketing twist. In typical ProSource fashion, SynthaTrex Xtreme stays true to the science and it shows with the sheer intensity of its mass-building effects. As a result, SynthaTrex Xtreme has consistently earned some of the highest ratings ever for a product in this category giving it a top ranking once again.
Top Nitric Oxide ProductsnaNO X9 Hardcore | FusionForce | TRAC Extreme-NO There is a bit of a crossover between NO and pre-workout formulas with very capable products found in both categories. Suffice to say, if it gives a good NO pump, it's a good pre-workout supplement. These particular top picks though are chosen for their extraordinary ability to not just enhance NO, but to continually facilitate and retain a nitric oxide effect throughout the course of your workout. This has been the leading research drive behind a few prominent manufacturers in the industry that take the potential of nitric oxide from arginine AKG and ramp it up with compounds designed to increase and extend the effect far beyond the norm. The following represent the higher end of |
