Full Product Review: Purus Labs Creagyn
This product is very simple, unflavored, and easily mixed with absolutely anything. I usually added it to some type of pre workout drink, but did try solo once just to see and yes, still flavorless.
Highlights:
-Overall fullness
Upon dosing one OR Two scoops (didn't seem to make a ton of difference) beginning about 30-40min later I begin to have an overall body fullness and hardness to all muscles. This was most evident when I took this before going running in the late afternoons after a long fast. It was very obvious during these runs where I would normally be extremely flat that my muscles both looked and felt fuller. This fullness lasted 2-3hrs too and slowly tapered off.
-Slight acute endurance enhancement
At two scoops this seemed to help max endurance to some extent. Between set recovery times were slightly shorter as well as the muscle recovery seemed slightly improved (short rest that would normally allow for 75-80% of the first set reps were 80-90% - ex set of 10 then 7 went to 10 then 8-9)
- Acute vascularity
I believe this to partially be a side of the fullness at a lower bf % but there did seem to be better size to my veins as well.
Lowlights:
- Lack of between workout recovery
I had hoped to see better recovery day to day, but this seemed to stay exactly as it had before. 2 day doms stayed at that, etc.
- Lack of acute pumps
While fullness increased, actual pumps seemed to stay the same. I felt and looked bigger, but never had that muscle pump that comes from some volumizing products.
Overall:
I enjoyed this product as an acutely dosed aid to my workouts, especially on my hypertrophy days and prior to long runs in a fasted state. The fullness and endurance benefits were very positive, however it lacked the pump I had hoped for.
I would give this overall a 8/10, with the caveat that it has a specific use as stated above. Based solely on label claims I would bump down to a 7/10. For the right price, this is worth a look for anyone looking for the benefits I listed above.
