Chaos and Pain Cannibal PermaSwole
Taste
Strawbloody kiwi crush – Right away you get a small strawberry taste, but is overshadowed by a strong fruit punch aftertaste. The Kiwi/Strawberry/Fruit Punch combination what I tasted after a few servings is very unique. While the strawbloody impression based off being the first name in the flavor is not as strong as expected. The name is quite deceiving as I got more of a Kiwi Fruit Punch in flavor. While I think this flavor is good, the Green apple IMO is still superior in taste, density, and boldness.
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 gauge 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.
