Universal Nutrition - Review Log

**Peaked_18** · 08-01-2005, 01:13 AM

I recently asked for some supplements from Universal and I got them in about 1-2 weeks. I got 4 supplement sample and I was happy for what I got.

I got a sample of Storm, Iso-Whey Protein, 1/4 serving of Weight Gain formula, and Animal Nitro G.

I haven't tried them yet, but I will make sure to post up my reveiws on them.

I'm to suprised how much this site grows in one week...

I am probably going to use the Real Gains tomorrow or the day after. I will make sure to get the reviews up. I'll start with some information.

Animal Nitro G
This says to take two packets of this, I got one large packet, so I don't know what to expect. Looks good, it's expensive, but has alot of amino acids to help me out. The only flavor is Grap and that's what I'll try out. I was thinking about mixing some in a few different things like 1/2 packet in water and the other half in grap juice.

Storm
Looks like a good product for what you get, It has some nitric oxide fancy stuff in it. I think I'll take it pre-workout and make sure to mix it in water. This also comes in Grape, so I'll mix it in grape juice. Alittle more expensive, but not by much.

Ultra Iso-whey
Not bad cost for a isolate protein, I hope this tastes better. Comes in a Fruit Punch flavor, I think from what iso whey's I've tasted it should be good. Could use some more protein, but other then that looks ok. Not much else I can say about it, I'll have it post-workout or pre, I'm trying to debate it in my mind.

Real Gains
I'm not much of a fan of weight gainer shakes, but I'll look into it. The sample i got is 1/4 of a serving which is 3.5 scoops of real gains. It has little servings and is $23, it may be worth while if you use 2 scoops at a time. 52g of protein is great for this, pretty much covers protein requirments for that meal. For the serving of this, I think there was 4.3g of Glutamine so it's not bad and it's not good. Has 5g of fiber!

So, I'll make sure to give these reviews as soon as possible.

Pre-workout: Storm
Post-workout: Animal Nitro G

Storm
Contents:

Texture - Mixability
Taste
Cost

Texture - Mixability
I used a shaker cup with 3-4 ice cubes in it with 8 ounces of water and the sample. I shook it for a good hard 20 seconds and mixed very nicely. No problems with clumps or getting it to dissolve fully. Very nice.
Texture - Mixability: 10/10

Taste
After mixing it, i quickly smelled it and it smelled like those grape chewables from the old days. I took sip and swished it around in my mouth, very sour, but nice. Sort of like a weaker grape warhead, made my mouth sort of burn after it. Good.
Taste: 9/10

Cost
Storm
1.81 lbs. at BB.com with 80 servings isn't very bad at all, very nice actually for what your getting.
Storm at SK.com
KING, I hope this is a mistake, $44.99 for 1.81 lbs. of Storm. Not very good.

Cost: 10/10 At BB.com.

Overall: 9.7

Animal Nitro G

Cost

Texture - Mixability
I used a shaker cup with 3-4 ice cubes in it with 10 ounces of water and the 1/2 serving sample. Took awhile to mix, but mixed well. Not alot of clumps, but there was alot of foam from what I saw. Good.
Texture - Mixability: 9/10

Taste
Pretty much the same as the Storm. Very sour and smelled like the Storm. Now most BCAA products i've tried were pretty nasty tasting. But this didn't even taste like them. Still had a burning sensation in my mouth. Good.
Taste: 9/10

Cost
Animal Nitro G at SK.com
Not bad, but sort of expensive. $19.99 for only 16 servings isn't very good for Amino Acids, but there is enough Amino Acids in it.
Animal Nitro G
Only 4¢ less then SK.com, not bad at all for what your getting. I would stick to Animal Nitro instead though, very nice product though.
Cost: 8/10

Overall: 8.3

Products to come...Iso-whey and Real Gains.

KING check the pricing for the Universal Storm.

Great log! I received the same samples yesterday. I have only tried the Ultra Iso. I took it with milk (bad idea). It should taste a lot better with water. It mixed up very easily and tasted like jello! YUM!!!

Can't wait to hear your opinions on the other products.

I checked out the literature about the Real Gains powder. It seems like a nice product. Not loaded with sugar or fat!
