Promising review:
“I have been a fairly regular gym user for several years now. I have increased in strength but my weight has decreased, particularly as my cardio has increased this year. However, after 2 1/2 weeks on this supplement, I have gained 4 pounds and can see gains on my arms and legs. The vanilla flavour with milk is really tasty. At first, the taste had to grow on me but I really like it now. I suspect with more use over the next few months I will see further gains. I take one scoop every morning and one before bed as part of my daily routine. So far so good and would recommend this product”.
