Review on Intra Surgance - Hydration Drink, BCAA Powder with EAA Amino Acids & Electrolyte Powder Plus Peak O2 Energy Powder for Endurance. Sugar Free, Fruit Fusion Flavor (30 Servings) by Jason Geyston

I clearly have mixed feelings about this product. Pros: I've noticed a noticeable improvement in my workouts when taking this. I followed the directions on the pack and took it about 20-30 minutes before my workout. I feel like I hit my "high" about 60-75 minutes after taking it (about 45 minutes into my workout - right when I want to). I get a "pump" when lifting weights unlike any other product I've taken in years and my first day of taking this product was amazing as I was adding weight to my regular program and still managed more reps for each set. On cardio days I typically run about an hour and two runs with this product resulted in about a 5% increase in distance compared to what I normally do in an hour. It may not sound like much, but it's about half a mile for me, and I haven't run that distance in the past year. Cons: I hate the taste. I've seen comments from people who like and dislike the taste. I stand firmly in the camp of hostility. I drink it as fast as I can and right after that I have to drink something else to get the taste out of my mouth. I also get a little more tingling from it than any other product I've taken. Some people talk about the tingles as if it's desirable, and maybe the supplements I've taken in the past were just missing one key ingredient, but I'm not a fan of the tingles. During my runs, the feeling is so pronounced that I can almost feel my legs go numb about 40 minutes after the run. Neither good nor bad: It has more caffeine than I normally take (250mg per serving). Maybe that's one of the reasons for my performance gains. I had to completely stop taking my other caffeine supplements as I was only getting about 150mg per day from all sources. Conclusion: It works. It's not perfect, but I'll keep using it as long as I see this improvement in my workouts.
