Controlled Labs Oximega Reds

[chzcake01]

Big thanks to Sean1332 and Controlled Labs for sending me a tub of Oximega Reds to log.

About Me:
34 years old, 5'6, 166lbs.

I lift 3 days a week using a basic split (legs/shoulders, back/triceps, chest/biceps) and I do 25-50 minutes of cardio 2-3 days a week.

I use myfitnesspal to track my calories. My TDEE is around 2350-2400 calories and I usually eat 1800-2200 calories per day.

Current Supps: CL orange triad + greens, preworkout, torrent, protein

I eat a lot of veggies and always take a greens supplement but don't really eat much fruit so this will be a great addition.

this was a nice touch

love it when i don't have to dig for the scoop

i'll take them separately at first, might mix them too

small scoop (5g)

directions says to mix with 2-3oz of water, this is with 4oz

very little foam and bits stuck to side of shaker

very tasty

Initial impressions:
not sure why but the first thing i did was smell it. it doesn't smell very good.

mixability- 9/10
taste- easily 9/10 if not higher

my first thought was "this is really good". sweetness was just right. label says orange flavor but i think there's a fruit punch taste to it. natural flavors, no fake/chemical tastes. much more enjoyable to drink than OT + greens.

Great start, man. I really appreciate the pictures and details. 9/10 on taste?? Damn right. Let us know when you mix it up with anything else.

This looks like a very interesting product. Looking forward to log !

2/20- took 1 scoop w/8oz water (accidentally poured too much)

2/21- took 1 scoop w/6oz water

i think 3-4oz of water is perfect.

it's been really cold here in PA and my roommates/coworkers/students are all getting sick so i'm hoping that taking this along with OT/greens will help keep me feeling well

I know the probiotic formula has 100% helped me out.

Week 2 updates:

I'm noticing better digestion and less bloating. Not to be too descriptive but for morning bathroom trips everything is coming out quickly and cleanly. Using a lot less toilet paper.

Tried mixing it with OT + greens and that didn't turn out too well. I'm going to continue taking them separately.

It's a very easy way to supplement some extra enzymes, probiotics, and anti-oxidants into your diet, especially for those who don't routinely consume fruit or vegetables.

for overall health, it's a quick/tasty way to get in a few servings of fruit.

benefits i'm noticing are better digestion/less bloating.

week 3 update: nothing new to report aside from better digestion/less bloating. morning bathroom trips are still quick and easy. been using a lot less toilet paper.

the scoop (short-handle) should be switched with the one in OT+Greens (long-handle).

 

[Sean1332]

thanks for the update. I passed the word on the handle as well

Final review:

Mixability- 9.5/10, very little clumping

Taste- 10/10, tastes like fruit punch and i really like it, satisfies my sweet tooth as i'm cutting back on sugary snacks

Effectiveness- 8/10, hard to score for products like this which provide long term health benefits but better digestion and less bloating were noticeable and i didn't get sick in this cold weather which is nice because my roommates/coworkers all caught something.

Price- 7/10, i've seen prices for this range from $18.99-$24.99 which isn't too bad @ 1 scoop per day for 60 days, but considering that OT+greens is over $30 already (very much worth it) it's hard for me to add oximega reds to my supplement stash, i think $45-$50 for both would be ideal.

I appreciate your detailed feedback, man. I'm glad it did well for you. I understand you from a pricing standpoint with stacking. However, stacking it with the same priced Greens may be feasible as well.
