Chaos and Pain Cannibal PermaSwole
Taste
Green Apple Hulk – If you know me Green Apple is my #1 Flavor for flavored products on the market. When I got the chance to get my hands on this I had high expectations. I have never had a Chaos and pain product before but they did a good job. The initial rush of Green Apple is a bit on the tart side like taking a fresh bite out of an apple. There is a small lingering aftertaste, but the hulk really stands for IMO the initial burst of flavor you get from the first sip. I personally feel this is a good name for the product because green apples usually have more of a tarty flavor to them just like this product does.
Mixability
I like to play around with Mixability and dosing to see what my sweet spot is. Because this is a first time review I wanted to try and do this with 1 scoop only to start as suggested by the label and then re-assess. I tried 8-10-12 oz with 1 scoop of the product and each time it mixed perfectly fine. After about 10-15 seconds of shaking there was no particles floating around and everything was dissolved.
Formula
L-Citrulline is 2g, which is a little low for a one serving product most studies show 6-8g is the optimal range to get the full benefits of this sole ingredient, that is not to say you could stack something with the PermaSwole or bulk to reach that. But this does aid lactic acid build up and performance.
500mg Agmatine → A pump agent and also a nutrient partioniner. This is a great bulk item to add for a non-stim to help with pump and also shuttle nutrients, those who add a bulk of carbs around their workout may notice this and how it helps amplify the pump in the presence of carbs.
1.5g BA which helps aid performance and endurance during training, a split dose that is upward to 3.2-4g of BA is optimal, and at 1.5 that is very close to a good amount
250mg Creatinol-O-Phosphate, while this is not creatine per say it does help with performance and endurance by how it is broken down in the system.
200mg L-Norvaline I have personally responded well to as far as small enhancement in pumps and also nutrient shuttling (Seen in GDA’s)
200mg Pomegranate is a powerful anti-oxidant that is added to the formula,
150mg Resveratrol is used to help with performance enhancement not only training, but also cardio as well.
10g Niacin, some do not enjoy this because they breakout in a red state on their face (Niacin Flush) but this can help with many health benefits (Cholesterol) and an anti-oxidant effect.
Workout Reaction
Being a non-stim pre-workout it will be hard to even guage anything relating to energy, so for this I am going to key in on my pump, vascularity, and also how I respond as far as endurance and performance goes due to the fact of BA, L-Citrulline in the product, and Creatinol O Phosphate. Starting with 1 scoop and then assessing for a few workouts and then going to jump to 1.5-2 for some to see the major difference with the increase in ingredients in the formula. That is primary focus of this log and how it does effect my workouts.
