Final Reviews on Controlled Labs' Blue Gene, GlycerGrow, and White Flood:
Blue Gene Capsules: 150 capsules
Servings: 30 servings
Serving size: 5-6 caps/day
Duration lasted: 24 days
Energy:
8/10
- I’ve used Blue Gene as the sole pre-workout energizer, and I’ve used it alongside of White Flood on a separate occasion. When we’re talking ‘clean energy,’ Blue Gene talks the talk, and walks the walk. There’s a subtle, stable and enduring rush of energy, starting 40-50 minutes following consumption of Blue Gene pre-workout. Not that jittery, up-your-a$$ kind of mental stimulation, but much ‘purer.’ Much more comfortable and reliable, because it’s just enough mental and physical stimulation to optimize your training sessions.
Focus/Clarity/Mood: -
9/10- Blue Genes focus-increase and heightened mind/muscle connection is above and beyond any other natural supplement I’ve used. It’s an effect I experienced on both of my Blue Gene runs (totaling 2 bottles), and it’s one of the things that initially had me praising this product. I just felt ‘in the zone’ within a couple of sets at the gym, and this became even more apparent within a weeks use. With the heightened mind/muscle connection, I felt each individual exercise much more in the muscle intended, and rep by rep, I felt a deeper and better muscle stimulation, not allowing all supporting muscles to do the work. Another thing to note was that 75% of the time, 30-40 minutes upon consumption of Blue Gene, my mood was great! I’d walk around with a smile on my face, I’d walk into the gym feeling good, confident, positive and encouraged.
Joint Health:
6.5/10
- This is a combined rating of both 4 week runs of Blue Gene I have done. The first time around, there was NO bettering of joint health and it was quite disappointing as it was during a period in which I was having considerable pain and troubles as a result of a poor shoulder and elbow. The second time around, within 10 days of usage, joint pain began decreasing, and I enjoyed the final two weeks 90% pain-free, which was quite an improvement.
Libido:
1/10
- I am not the right person to address libido related issues, as I rarely respond to anything that’s supposed to increase it. MACA worked for me for a while, but effects became vague/non-existant after a couple of consecutive bottles @ 2-3 grams/day. Blue Gene had zero effect on my libido, much to my disappointment.
GlycerGrow Weight: 2.2 lbs
Servings: 122 servings
Serving size: 6-12 scoops/day, split up in three separate dosages
Duration lasted: 6 weeks
Cell volumization:
9/10
- Incredible! One of the most underrated supplements around delivered consistent results like few other supplements have every done! I switched up my dosage to find my sweet-spot, and what worked the best for me, and I recommend that to anyone. Next to a potent serving of WMS, GlycerGrow brought the cell volumization to a new level. Make a point of staying well hydrated throughout the day, and have 1-2 servings of the GG 1-3 hours pre-workout, and I assure that you will experience considerable heightened volume in your training, as well as in your physical appearance. On nights I drank any alcohol, I always made sure to have 1-3 servings of GG either while drinking or following drinking (pre-bed), and I swear that this helped my body stay better hydrated.
Vascularity:
7/10
- Obviously, this’ll always depend on ones body fat measurements, but even @ my lean self, it wasn’t flawless in this department. This was an effect that varied on a day to day basis; on some days, I looked veiny and nasty as I could, while on other days I just wasn’t feeling nor seeing much. What vascularity I did see, however, was an overall improvement from NOT using GlycerGrow to using GlycerGrow. New veins appeared, some rolling horizontally across my outer arm, others on my inner arm, more on my lateral deltoids.
Recovery:
8/10
- In between sets, as well as from workout to workout, recovery was increased greatly! Rest in between sets was either decreased, or I’d be able to use the same heavy weight (or go heavier from one set to the next) without decreasing my rep range. I just felt ‘fresh’ from set to set. Anxious to get on with my training. Alongside my normal addiction to Beta Alanine, I swear that GlycerGrow has further improved on decreasing lactic acid build up in my muscles.
White Flood Weight: 305 grams
Servings: 25 servings
Serving size: 1-2 scoops (split either pre- and intra-workout, or both pre-workout)
Duration Lasted: 3 weeks
Energy:
9/10- White Flood never seizes to amaze me. It’s a kick-in-your-a$$ energy that will have you fired up and ready to take on anything. The effects start to build up within 5 minutes of consumption pre-workout; 10-15 minutes after, you WANT to find something to get your hands on lift because your eyes are wigging and your hands are shaking from a rush of energy. And somehow, these effects are maintained for the next 90-120 minutes. In all honesty, spending 90 of those minutes in the gym and being in-the-zone helps the energy levels, but it’s a constant surge of adrenaline fueled energy that is yielded from the White Flood. This run was my third time around the White Flood block, and it will not be my last by any means.
Mental focus/stimulation:
9/10
- Let me give you the countdown.
Minute #1: chug 8-10 oz. with White Flood
Minute #3: start feeling the tingling sensation in your body. A little itchy (for the weak ones), but quite uplifting (for those who like parathesia)
Minute #7: tingling in the back of the head/neck. A RUSH is felt in your body, your eyes start doing the random tunnel vision mode where they’re wide open, and every time you ‘rotate’ your eyes, you ZONE in on what you’re looking at, be it dog $hit in the yard, or the label of a book on your shelf.
Minute #10: you realize your body is on a surge of pure adrenaline fueled energy, and you’re rushing out the door to reap the benefits of these effects where you want them the most: the gym.
Minute #15 and beyond: blood, sweat and tears are the name of the game, and White Flood is the perfect alliance on the side. ZEN-like focus. You’re jumping from one exercise to another. One set to the next with little to no rest. Some days, you don’t rest in between sets, you superset two muscle groups instead. That’s what I love about White Flood; you don’t know your ultimate abilities until you’ve got White Flood unleashed in your system. It will have you aim higher, stronger and faster than anything else ever has.
White Flood has been my #1 pre-workout product of choice for 8-10 months, and still is following this run! If there’s one product I recommend at the gym for pre-workout stimulation, White Flood is the first and only product that comes to mind. It’s bulletproof!
*
I never give out 10s for anything when it comes to a product any longer, only because there’s always room for improvement (my personal morale as well; there is no such thing as perfect.).
- However,
Controlled Labs’ products have once again showed me their true potential. Unique, potent, do-what-they-say products that are 100% affordable, user efficient, and everything between. I have yet to get disappointed, and so has those who I’ve recommend Controlled Labs products to. Controlled Labs has met my every expectation I’ve had in products as well as company values. Outstanding products, outstanding service, outstanding forum reps. I am very grateful for the opportunity to log this stack, and I will continue to praise Controlled Labs for their products . . . because I’ve proven their efficiency myself!
