Accelerade

Pacific Health Labs makes a Energy Drink called Accelerade. It is a Before, During, and Post work out drink. It is for speeding up recovery and giving you energy to burn.

I only use it Before and after work outs. The taste when watered down can be kinda bad. The first few times I used it I did not really feel a big difference. My old roommate swears by it and says he feels great after using it. It became part of my daily regiment after the first week, I think I was watering it down too much and thats why it wasn't effective in the beginning. I does a lot that it promises, and I would recommend it to mainly runners. If your a lifter then It still is great but your usually not as tired as a marathon runner anyway. I helps repair muscles which is good but I prefer Kre alkalyn.

The things it promises:
You will have 29% more endurance.
You will rehydrate 40% better.
Your muscles will recover 40% faster.
You will lower your perceived exertion.

I did not really experience a endurance boost of any kind. I did feel rehydrated. I was not really thirsty for my whole work out whenever I took it. The big thing it helped with was the recovery. I felt much better the day after my work out. I still got tired so it didn't really help me with exertion.

Price: I would not get the 6pack thats a waste of money. Just mix it yourself. The 30 scoop is $34.99 and the 60scoop is $59.99. Its not great but it did seem to help. Try it out and see if it works for you.

Overall score: -------------- 85 --------------

Flavors:
Orange - This one is my favorite out of all of the ones i've used.
Lemonade - This was pretty good concentrated, but horrible if you water it down too much.
Fruit punch - My least favorite. its a very typical taste and its not really enjoyable. You may like it but I personally didn't.
Lemon Lime - Have Not tried
Mountain Berry - Have Not tried

Super C22

Dr. Newtons makes this supplement called Super C22. The philosophy is that in larger animals they create C in there body. The amount a tiger uses of vitamin C a day is Huge. For you to take the equivalent of what large animals your size is like 5-8times a regular daily dose.
In many male enhancement drugs that focus on volume have an extreme amount of vitamin C.

I have been taking Super C for a long time now what i have experienced is a huge difference when  i wake up in the morning. I feel alive and awake.

The things it promises:
infuses you with energy, alleviates pain, lowers blood pressure, slows the aging process, helps you sleep more soundly and even shields against heart disease and stroke.

I would agree with most of that.

Price: Is very High at $38.45 a bottle. But the overall benefits are worth it in my opinion.

Vitamin C & L-Lysine

Onnit Labs makes Vitamin C & L-Lysine. There are tons of other places to buy these vitamins. You can get these vitamins for cheaper at other places. As you know from taking pills many capsules contain Cancer causing. These cancer causing ingredients are the things that hold the pill together. Some Pills are also known to contain saw dust and all sorts of fillers that are dangerous to your health. Onnit Labs Pills seem to not have any of those ingredients. When i broke one open and looked at it under a microscope It seemed as though it was only real ingredients though it is hard to say.

The reasons to buy Onnit Labs:
True Ingredients:
When you buy a lot of supplements like i do you look for cheaper was to get the same thing. I have personally bought well over 100 different versions of Vitamin C and all sort of cheap tactics to sell you a lie. I bought these pills from china and they did have Vitamin C but the quality was so low I might as well not have taken anything at all. Even Big name stores will sell you giant bottles with tons of capsules but the quality is low or the filler is bad. With Onnit Labs they have extremely high quality ingredients and very high potency.

Price: Onnit's Price is a bit high compared to Costco, or some of the major sellers. At $8.95 a bottle it is not great but not bad.

Overall score: -------------- 85 --------------

The Main reason I buy Onnits verse other versions is it has 3 different versions of C and it also has L-Lysine. Which you dont usually find in an everyday version of C.
Personally I take Super C22 from Doctor Newton, but i also take Onnits C & L-Lysine.
