ErgoPharm GF-Pro Cherry Blast Review

~~Hacking is a Felony~~ · 06-26-2005, 01:48 AM

I recently seen a thread over on bb.com where a member said he contacted ErgoPharm for free samples of their GF-Pro, so I figured I'd give it a try as well. To my surprise they sent me 8 sample packets: 2 packets of Green Apple, 2 packets of Orange Cream, 2 packets of Cherry Blast and 2 packets of Raspberry Lemonade.

Cherry Blast Review:

Initial Serving:

I added 1 packet (1 scoop) to 8 oz of water along with a few ice cubes and mixed it up in a shaker cup.

Mixibility: 5/10

Very foamy! I mixed this in 8 oz of water and the entire shaker cup was filled with foam. There was clumping as well. It took forever for the clumps to finally disolve. I had to keep shaking and shaking the cup to get them to go away for the most part. After shaking for about 3 minutes straight I waited a another minute for the foaming to go down, but it didn't so I just gave it my first sip.

Taste: 5/10

The Cherry Blast flavor is very bland. When I opened the package the cherry scent smelled very appealing, but I am very disappointed in the taste. It tastes just like water with a very minimal amount of fruit flavor. Cherry Blast is definately nothing like the Raspberry Lemonade flavor which was really good.

Price: 6/10

BB.com sells GF-Pro for $27.49 for a 2lb container which is a bit on the high side considering you can get PrimaForce Substance for about $5 cheaper from Supplement Kings. I noticed that Bulk Nutrition is currently selling them for $23.99 for 2lber which is better deal than bb.com's price. Supplement Kings is not currently selling GF-Pro, but one note is that this flavor will not be a good seller.

Product Information

ErgoPharm GF-Pro

Growth Factor Enriched Whey Protein Isolate Maximizes Mass Gains!
ErgoPharm decided to make a no carb, no fat whey protein supplement, but first they were determined to break the mold. This new protein had to be something never seen before - something truly original - not just different for the sake of being "different". ErgoPharm was determined to engineer a whey protein unsurpassed in its ability to supply the best source of fast absorbing whey, and they also wanted to incorporate a completely novel, unknown source of animal protein - a protein delivering potent immunomodulatory and growth promoting peptides.
GF Pro. Zero carb, zero fat GF Pro contains a proprietary blend of the highest quality whey protein isolates available combined with a remarkable spray dried plasma protein that is comprised of peptides (IGg, transferrin/lactoferrin, IGF-1, TGFÃŸ-1) with potent anabolic and immunoprotective functional properties. This remarkable protein has been proven scientifically to lead to increases in lean tissue mass through its ability to optimize protein utilization. Therefore the net result of the proprietary formulation, GF Pro, is the most advanced protein supplement ever created. Oh yeah, and the stuff comes in mouthwatering fruit flavors - so delicious you'll swear it can't be good for you. Available in Green Apple, Cherry Blast, Orange Cream and Raspberry Lemonade.

I know taste is subjective, but personally, all the GF-Pro flavors have a weird taste to me. My taste buds dont like something.

Try mixing the powder before you add the ice cubes. If you chill CEE before you mix it you'll get an ass flavoured acidy blob.

.. this is protein .. not CEE

.. lol.

I add ice cubes to my shakes to make the water colder. I have never tasted a difference in flavor using or not using ice cubes in a protein shake.

PA said it was better, which pharm and Kneller came out and said it wasnt. PA didnt make a very good case against these two.

Still, try mixing the powder before you add the ice, my All The Whey orange and vitargo does the same as the CEE.

What was his theory on why cow's blood would be anabolic?

Ghosting · 06-28-2005, 01:32 AM

I cant remember. You'll have to read PA's reasoning. Nothing leaps out at me, so it must of been pretty cheezy, otherwise I would remember it. Do you know how ****ing busy I am?

Thing · 06-28-2005, 10:19 PM

I think his reasoning was to boost your immunity.

I think Thing is right, its all so fuzzy.

~~Hacking is a Felony~~ · 06-28-2005, 10:55 PM

yeah .. I don't remember for sure either .. but that sounds about right.

Ghosting · 06-28-2005, 10:58 PM

If it was about immunity, no wonder nobody cared.

**Peaked_18** · 06-28-2005, 11:01 PM

Good review Proverb 3:14. I was thinking of trying the GF-Pro, might try another protein.

Thanks.

Straight from his website, the GF-Pro propoganda. But if I remember right pharm and kneller said it wasnt anabolic at all and had pretty convincing info it didnt do much in the way of the immune system.
