Well, now that I have finished my 15 days of Golden Gains, lets take a look at my final analysis.
Taste
If I would have been asked about this after the first day, in all honesty I would have gone with a rating of about 4 out of 10. However, over the 15 days the taste truly does endear itself to you in a very positive way. My only complaint in this regard is that to me, it did not taste like apple pie. It had a much more fruity taste.
Rating: 8 out of 10
Mixability
This has its positives and negatives. The only negative imo was the oats. Anyone familiar with oats in a shake knows that the oats have a tendency to settle at the bottom of the cup. Even with a blender bottle, golden gains is no different. On the flip side, if you give a fairly constant shake while drinking, it stays well mixed and goes down easy
Rating: 9 out of 10
Effectiveness
This is a tricky one for me. It is truly very difficult to get a gauge of how effective a product is in 2 weeks. The only thing I can say is that I did feel strong while on it, and my recovery never seemed to take any step back.
Not enough time for rating
Extras
My biggest issue with GGS is the use of concentrate. For those of you like me, concentrate forces a very rapid run to the bathroom, and sadly GGS was no different. Another aspect of concern will be the price per serving. Since the container is only 15 servings, it is imperative that this be cost effective. Based on the CL website, it is listed at a staggering $72.99, however I imagine that once it is out of the GNC exclusive, the price will be much more moderate.
Rating 6 out of 10
Overall
CL has created a unique product here, and one that is worth a shot for many once the price becomes more reasonable. I want to thank RR for giving me the opportunity to log this, as even with the stomach issues, I did enjoy my time with GGS.
Final Rating:7.6 out of 10
Thanks for a great review and log, brother! I'm glad you liked it. I do have to mention we have discount codes on the Controlled labs forum to use until it gets into the rest of the retail stores.
