Biotest's Surge Recovery
Just curious if anyone has tried this product and what they thought of the consistancy, texture, and taste.

Also, if there's any other 2:1 carb/protein post-workout powders on the market that you've had good luck with, feel free to mention it. I know these mixes aren't always cost effective, but I'm just as concerned with the time I need to take to prepare a mix as I am with the cost.

Any feedback would be great. Thanks!

I love my Surge. I have been without it now for 4 weeks, because of a cut, but I crave my Surge.

No texture, just smooth & sweet. I know some peeps don't like the OG, and love the Raspberry flavored one. Me I don't like the Raspberry, but love the OG.

I just ordered some Replenish, but it is 1:1 ratio, and looking to try UN's Torrent, but more than likely, I will go back to Surge.

Give BSL's Cytofuse a try, it's a great product at a great price. I highly recommend the raspberry lemonade.

You can "make" your surge at trueprotein for about 2/3 the cost. I know they have a premix version or it somewhere, but I couldn't find it just now. The good thing there is you also have your choice of flavors.

The major thing about Surge I think is their flavor system. If someone could replicate their flavor system, I would be all over it. The original flavor that is.

As a postWO shake, I am loving Myozene right now. High quality whey hydro, huge dose of leucine, very light to drink, I recommend it.

Yeah, that was a shocker, but not surprised Shane did it though. I hope Vic makes Shane pay for it though...

one word: UN-FCUKING-TOUCHABLE... The OG Surge is off the hook. I use to be a Biotest wh0re, but not any longer; however, I haven't found a better PWO product yet.

Have you tried Cytofuse? I'm not big on the watermelon, but the raspberry lemonade is great.

Have you tried Myozene? From a formula standpoint, I have yet to find a better PWO product.

I've never needed to try anything else IMHO, but now since I have been 4 weeks without Surge, I will be giving other PWO a shot. Thanx for the suggestion.

Yeah, I hear you. Personally I like to swtich up my PWO products and regular protein powders, as I burn out on them pretty quickly.

Myozene, has a strange, yet addicting flavor to it, so I may stay with it for a while. I am a big fan of whey hydro and find it by far the easiest on my gut from a digestive standpoint.

I to want to try torrent and have heard only good things about Replenish by DS.

Replenish will likely be the next on my list. I will be interested in hearing your feedback on it.

I hear you. I cycle all my proteins/supplements, but for some reason Surge stuck with me. I enjoyed the recovery rates, and actually at the time it was first introduced, there weren't too many comparable PWO shakes around.

Yup, every now and than you find a product, that you just don't get sick of. Sounds like you found yours.

I love Surge. One cool thing about it is that you can add about 10 grams of Leucine and 3-4 grams of Taurine, and it STILL tastes good.
