User questions & answers

Question:	Is one serving actually enough? I heard you need 10g of BCAA before workout. One serving only has 1g
Answer:	2.5 grams of leucine is the proven amount needed to trigger protein synthesis. That's 5g total or 10 pills. I'm not sure why the doses on these are so small but I figure if an 80 pound asian girl needs 2.5g of leucine then going with more BCAAs would probably serve you better. That's an insane amount of pills but this is to avoid using the powder that stinks and tastes awful. Obi Obadike recommends 10g of BCAA pre and post Workout. 20g of BCAAs is 40 pills!
Question:	Is this BCAA Lactose free
Answer:	Yes it is, no problems what so ever just make sure you drink enough water when taking them so they end up in your stomach if not you might burp and might taste the BCAA powder :) hope this helps!
Question:	My canister was sealed, but the canister was only half full of powder. Is that normal
Answer:	Yes. It's normal. I am currently enjoying your second half as we speak. I would weigh the container as it's the only true way of knowing if you got shorted.
Question:	Are these expensive pills an improvement over drinking milk
Answer:	Hahahaha! "I don't drink milk, it's for babies" - Arnold Schwarzenegger

User questions & answers

Question:	is there a scoop
Answer:	Buy a teaspoon measuring spoon. Use it as your scoop.
Question:	Why Creatine
Answer:	In addition to the great muscle-building benefits, it also seems to be good for the brain. Dave Asprey turned me on to this in his book "Head Strong", and here's the citation he gave:Caroline Rae et al., “Oral Creatine Monohydrate Supplementation Improves Brain Performance: A Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Cross-over Trial.,” Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences 270, no. 1529 (October 22, 2003): 2147– 50, doi: 10.1098/ rspb. 2003.2492.I'm just starting a 20g/day "loading phase", looking forward to seeing how this works for me. ("Loading phase" should only go on for one week.)Dave also sez: Check with your doctor first if you've got kidney issues.
Question:	Any idea what the source of this creatine is? I'm looking for a vegetarian source, and my understanding is most all creatine is synthetic these days
Answer:	Optimum Nutrition creatine monohydrate is made with Creapure, a synthetic creatine. From Creapure's website: " Since the 1990s the chemical synthesis of creatine has become more efficient and now predominates for industrial large-scale production. AlzChem developed a process for the synthetic production of creatine that guarantees the best quality and greatest purity. This creatine is sold under the brand name Creapure®. Because Creapure® (ultrapure creatine monohydrate) is made by synthesizing non-animal-sourced raw materials through chemical reactions, Creapure® is guaranteed not to contain substances that can transmit BSE. It is suitable for vegetarians."
Question:	What products do you recommend to use before workout, during (if any) and after for recovery; I am trying to gain muscle mass.. Thank you for the help
Answer:	If you trying to gain muscle mass you got to eat more clean food. Creatine is for strength and recovery. Load up on it like it says in the directions. Then after the loading phase take it before and right after working out.

User questions & answers

Question:	Where's the nutritional information? Calories? Carb:Protein ratio? etc
Answer:	No.
Question:	Does the variety pack come with all the available flavors
Answer:	I really don’t know if it would warm up a 10 x 12 patio. I’m using it on the patio that’s 10 x 19 but it’s just a screen porch and I just use it for direct heat over the table so I don’t know what it what it would do if it was enclosed
Question:	Has anyone seen a dramtic improvement in their running ability since taking these? I'm at a runners wall and hoping this can help
Answer:	Based on the answers to other ?s on the site, there is no internal transformer. I don't know what it draws, but I only plug one in per circuit.
Question:	Regarding the 12-gel variety pack, which four of the overall 8 flavors have a 2nd pack that comes in this size pack? (Please don't write a response if you don't know the answer
Answer:	About 5 feet
Question:	What is the expiration date for the citrus 60 servings
Answer:	I second this about their customer service. The return period expired on amazon, but mine stopped working. I called SportDog and they went through some tests and sent me a replacement.
Question:	Is the citrus sold by XSNonline the new or old formula
Answer:	I can relate 100% to you and your dog! I bought this collar for my dog about a month an a half ago and I haven't had to put it past the level 3 shock and my dog is a very head strong dog. I also only had to put it on the level 3 twice. Now she responds to greatly to the tone and vibrate and every once an awhile the level 1 shock even when she is chasing the deers in my yard. I do believe that this product will work wonders for your dog and it has more than enough power to get your dog to listen.
Question:	Do you have to cycle
Answer:	Yes, it can. There's no minimum range. I pair it with the "leave it" command so that if the dog is after something something he shouldn't be he gets a first warning to "leave it" and if he doesn't listen, I press the button and repeat the "LEAVE IT" while holding the button until he leaves it alone. Try a webcam if you want to be able to be out of the room and teach the dog that even if you're not there, the food is to be left alone.
Question:	Which flavor doesn't taste like toxic waste or dead cat
Answer:	Probably better for a dog over 20 lbs or so...very large collar (but extremely adjustable and made of a Teflon/plastic so easy to cut). The actual unit is about 2 1/2 inches wide though so it might be a little large for a 20 pound or smaller animal. Works great though...my yellow lab is a great learner. Didn't take more than 3 "zaps" to keep him from chasing squirrels into the street!

User questions & answers

Question:	Which flavor is the most delicious? I am very picky with protein shakes. Which taste best between chocolate and stawberry
Answer:	My personal favorites are caramel, vanilla cafe latte and banana in that order. Pumpkin spice was also tasty in small quantities (I've piecemealed my order since October). Peaches and cream and strawberries and cream were just okay but based on smell and their sacrine sweet taste i felt like i was drinking something akin to a scented candle. As for the choco varieties, i have yet to find a chocolate protein shake i like, this was no different. Yuck! Im not a fan of cinnamon so i skipped cinnamon roll all together.
Question:	lactose free
Answer:	Milk protein and lactose are two different things. A person with lactose intolerance can still have milk protein. Milk protein is a protein and lactose is a sugar. The ingredients indicate only 1g of sugar, but list sucralose. Sucralose is a sugar, so this is where the 1g of sugar is coming from. Ensure Max Protein drinks also list 1g of sugar with sucralose listed as a sugar and it is suitable for lactose intolerance individuals. I have not had the Premier Protein shakes, but I've had the Ensure Max with no problems and I am lactose intolerant.
Question:	what is the cost of cookies and cream
Answer:	$25.06 for a dozen 11.5oz bottles. The cookies and cream taste amazing, I love it! 1 bottle keeps me from feeling hungry for about 5-6 hours
Question:	i put mine in freezer and get them slushy. then i was told if i freeze it take the protein out. is this true
Answer:	Freezing them could change the consistency if you freeze them and thaw them out. That's why freezing milk isn't recommended. The only way to change the protein would be with heat. With the right application of heat, you can denature protein. A good experiment to see this at work is frying an egg. That's why the clear runny stuff around the yolk turns white while you cook it. Freeze away (I love dumping it in a blender with ice to get a similar effect.)
