so to keep from cluttering the board up, everytime i post about something coming out from ON/ABB it will be in this thread only.

Banana Cream
Caramel Toffee Fudge
Chocolate Malt
Chocolate Mint
Cookies and Cream
Delicious Strawberry
Double Rich Chocolate
Extreme Milk Chocolate
French Vanilla Crème
Mocha Cappuccino
Orange Cream
Rocky Road
Root Beer Float
Strawberry Banana

new nitro core 24 - probably the best tasting protein you are going to come across, this stuff was put out with taste in mind, its coming out in great flavors like carmel toffee and extreme cookies and cream, Gnc will carry more flavors so be on the lookout there. nitro core has fast, intermediate and slow digesting proteins, it will also contain 5 grams of fiber, 4 grams of omega 3,6,and 9 fatty acids and MCT's as well as digestive enzymes (wow). heres a break down of the proteins contain (protein content per serving is 24 grams)

Faster

Hydrolyzed Whey Peptides
Ion-Exchange Whey Protein Isolate
Cross-Flow Microfiltered Whey Protein Isolate
Ultrafiltered Whey Protein Concentrate
Glutamine Peptides

Intermediate

Egg Albumen
Milk Protein Isolate
Ultrafiltered Milk Protein Concentrate

Slower

Micellar Casein*
Calcium Caseinate

great stuff! now I do not know exactly when all the flavors will be rolling out to GNC's but flavors include extreme cookies and cream, strawberry milkshake, ultimate chocolate, and vanilla ice cream.
like i said before this product was developed with taste as one of the main priorities, so anyone that had a chance to sample some at the arnold already knows this stuff is gooooooooddddddd. and for those that want to take protein servings throughout the day and want a protein that is going to stick with you longer this is for you.

Ikaika

Wow that nitro core sounds really good. I'll definitely pick some up when it becomes available. Please tell me GNC isn't going to be the only channel for this product...

with the variety pack... are they individually packaged in 1 scoop portions?

i'm sure you saw my thread on company loyalties... since you guys are carrying a caseinate product with some fat, I may just have to switch from my dymatize obsession to purely ON for my protein needs. My next protein COMPLEX will be this new product.

ON casein protein now in cookies and cream flavor! I don't think i need to touch on the importance of casein protein at night to this group of smart boys and girls ..LOL

I for one am glad to see casein starting to come in more flavors than just vanilla and chocolate, although i do love vanilla it does get old after a while.

Optimum Nutrition

Ikaika, fear not, in my opinion, the best flavors of Nitro Core 24 are Carmel Toffee Fudge and Sensantional Cinnamon which is available to everyone, not GNC. GNC will only be carrying Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry and Cookies & Cream for a short exclusive then it will be open to everyone.

ha i was eating casein (vanilla) and oatmeal mixed in a bowl last night at work in the lunch room and a guy walked in and looked at me all weird cause he thought I was eating vanilla cake, cause of the smell...LOL

b-boy

ON's glycomaize (waxymaize) now come in a 75 serving container, great product at a great price.

:drink55:

b-boy

ABB has put out what use to be science foods ripped to the max. its a good drink thats stronger than say a redbull but not as strong as ABB's speed stack (love that stuff).
its got 200 mg of caffeine total from caffeine anhydrous, guarana, green tea extract, and yerba mate. contains hydroxycitric acid, grapefruit bioflavanoid powder, and 200mcg of chromium picolonate are some of the product highlights. ABB has several energy drinks all are different strengths like speed stack is jacked to the max..LOL and ripped to the max is a lot milder, i would recomend ripped to the max for people that aren't use to taking in a lot of stimulants and are very sensitive to them (but talk to your doctor first before trying it out).

b-boy

a new flavor of ABB's speed shots - Glacier green! I believe we had sample at this years Arnold for those of you that got to go and stopped by.
comes in 8.5 oz drinks, has 5 calories, 1 gram of carbs, with zero sugar
contains
900 mg THERMOTACH blend consisting of
DL-Phenylalanine
Caffeine
Evodiamine
Taurine
Glucuronolactone
Yerba Mate Extract
Guarana Extract
Yohimbe Extract

I haven't got to sample this one myself but will try and get some to sample asap and let you guys know how it is! I usaully don't get any fat burner, energy products for my demo's so its hard for me to sample a lot of our newer product coming out that are in those categories.

b-boy

now this is a pretty cool product! I like, I like
comes in 8.5 ounce drinks
10 calories, 3 carbs, 0 sugar
contains
Proprietary 2.3 g Adrenalyn Shot Blend
Beta Alanine
Tyrosine
DL-Phenylalanine
L-Carnitine
Caffeine*
L-Taurine
Choline
White Tea Extract
Green Tea Extract
Glucuronolactone
Yohimbe Extract
Cinnamon Extract

2 g of Glycerol

as you can see this contains beta-alanine in a concentrated liquid form (cool)
and i also like the fact that it contains yohime extract (yes HCL is better) and cinnamon extract (great for insulin sensativity) and it has 2 grams of glycerol (I wish ABB/ON would have more products with glycerol-glycerine)

b-boy

ok so heres a great new one for ya.

vassive-NO formula x contains 3 grams of arginine (AKG, L-arginine) and also contains quercetin, american ginseng extract (O YEA), L-histidine, rhodiola extract, L-norvaline, Cnidium Monnier,Pomegranate Concentrate,Cocoa Extract (Standardized for Theobromine). 850 mg Sustained Release Delivery System

as you can see by the ingredients this is going to be a pretty damn good product, ON is working overtime to bring out new EFFECTIVE products

lets check out some of the ingredients
L-norvaline....L-Norvaline is an analog of the branched chain amino acid Valine. It has been proposed that L-Norvaline inhibits the arginase enzyme thus increasing arginine concentrations. Arginine is known to convert into nitric oxide.
Cnidium Monnier- Cnidium Monnier has been proven to increases the release of nitric oxide while inhibiting PDE-5. this is used in a lot of erectile disfunction over the counter medicine.
pomegranate extract- man this has too many health benefits to list them all but here is just a couple....... pomegranate has been found effective in reducing heart disease risk factors, including LDL oxidation, macrophage oxidative status, and foam cell formation,[19] all of which are steps in atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. Tannins such as punicalagins have been identified as the primary components responsible for the reduction of oxidative stress which led to these risk factors.[20] Pomegranate has been shown to reduce systolic blood pressure by inhibiting serum angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE).[21]

the rest of the ingredients should be known by most of you and im not going to go through them all...LOL

anyway the dosage scheme lookes like this
Under 150 lbs: 1 serving before breakfast
150-200 lbs: 1 serving before breakfast, 1 serving before lunch
Over 200 lbs: 1 serving before breakfast, 1 serving before lunch, 1 serving before dinner
