Poseidon Q?

I just received my second container of Poseidon and Kudos for making the overall size bigger that allows for the scoop to be near the top. Black lid instead of white now....but my question is, did anything change from shen it was originally released? I ask because this batch seems to be less of a fine granular substance by having larger noticable strands etc. Just making sure all is good since I plan on using it forever.

I also tried the performance pudding and my first impression was not bad. I actually liked the plain powder before mixing it with water or milk. It is a little more grainy then I expected (could be due to mixing with a spoon) but overall taste is good. The wife thought it was good.

The original release did not contain shilajit,which eventually made it into the final product(with the bigger container). That accounts for the different texture, but no worries man... all is still good.

Glad to hear you and your wife are liking the protein pudding, mixing it with a wire whisk or hand mixer will defenitly fix the grainy texture you are experiencing.

Thanks for the question and the review BigDog.
 
I have two containers, one where the powder is white and it mixes pink, which is normal. the other container the powder is orange and it is in chuncks. What is the deal with the second container. Did I get a bad or old batch? Thanks

You didn't get a bad batch at all. Because of the added room in the second container, it may have allowed for a Minuit amount of moisture to seep in. Once this happens, the powder sucks it up quickly and the granules tend to become thicker, as you describe. There is no potency lost AT ALL, just a slightly different texture and visual appearance. We are actually upgrading our manufacturing facility completely to meet the high demand. One of the benefits of this upgrade will be a much quicker sealing process that will eliminate the tiniest bit of moisture (and we are talking microscopic) from entering into the container.

The pink color your seeing is normal. Completely dry, Poseidon is a white powder. Once the smallest amount of moisture touches it, Poseidon soaks it up like a sponge and exposes the Methyl B-12...which is Pink in color. Many will notice this simply by reaching their hand into the container and touching the powder. The moisture from even a relatively dry hand can cause the powder to turn color and thicken up.

Thank you for your question. It was a good one, and I'm sure others may have had the same. Hopefully this answers it. Let me know if we can help further. :)

Sorry to jack the thread but I got an exciting knock on the door today!..hahaha...to my suprise it was the fed ex guy with a box which contained my first 2 poseidon tubs. Mine is a bit orange also, but based on the reviews it could be hot pink and I dont care!..lol...I was also suprised wow small the tub was, not a bad thing at all, but having never have seen it before, i guess I was expecting a big ol no xplode like tub. Kinda pumped about that cause now i can just throw 1 tub in my gym bag and not have to worry about lugging a big container around.
Anyway....im going to try it out here soon, had my workout already this morning =(...but ill try it pre/during with bcaa's in the am tomorrs, and post...Ill let ya know how it goes Nimbus. :thumbsup:

ok ok....so being a supp junkie, clearly i couldnt wait to try it!!..haha...i was lazin in bed tired after a good cardio session I had in the am.(work nights on thursday!!..before I get any weird comments..haha). when i got off my butt from watching sportcenter I thought id throw 2 scoops in my water bottle and drink it while getting ready to head to work. No taste, which i like, then im not stuck mixing it with certain things, and you dont get sick of the flavour. About five minutes after downing it i felt the flush everyone was talking about.....my face,chest, neck and thighs got warm....not an uncomfortable feeling, but nice warm and a lil red tint to me. It pretty much woke me up instantly. I know everyone may think its from reading all of the reviews and may be partially placebo, but getting flush and wide awake is not a placebo.

All that said ....Im pumped to mix it with bcaa pre/during my workout tomorrow morning!!..im excited to put it to the test during a tough workout...im glad i ordered 2 tubs cause im gonna want to experiment a bit with with it.
First impression, great product guys, we'll see how it goes from here.

I mix a couple of scoops of Poseidon with Xtend (BCAA's) and some crystal light/gatorade mixture and it is pretty good, athough it seems to give me a case of volcanic ass. I am pretty confident that this is caused by the BCAAs. Anybody else have the problem of having to use the bathroom right after they workout? Are too many BCAA's a bad thing?

Great to hear john, thanks for the feedback. The combo you have planned will be stellar along with the timing.

To much of anything is a bad thing. How much BCAA's are you using? I usually go about 10gr or so and it's fine with me.

How many serving of Xtend are you using? I know if I consume to much (even slightly) Citruline Malate (which is in Xtend) it has me running to the bath room for hours.

I throw in about 4 scoops into a gallon of water with crystal light and poseidon. I was doing that based on body weight of greater than 180lbs but apparently 4 scoops is 26 grams of BCAAs and 2g citrulline malate. Is that too much to consume in an hour?

Is Excell better tasting or a better product than Xtend? I was thinking about switching to that when I run out?
 
One of the formulas of Excell is identical to Xtend and one is a little bit different.

I used to use Xtend, but I used it so often that now I cannot even stand the taste of it, so I LOVE AI's Excell. The raspberry and the grape flavors of Excell are my favorites.

Try cutting back on the bcaa's and progressing to the dose your doing currently. See if that doesn't help with the bathroom issue. Start using 2scoops, then 3 and finally 4 to allow for body adjustments.

Excell is a very good bcaa product IMO.

2 grams CM is not a large amount at all. You have to remember that everyone is a bit different though. When I took CM in pill form, I had no issues, in powder form, it had me running to the bath room like mad if I took more than 1 gram. I feel that was because of the slower, steadier release of a pill vs the rapid release of a powder. Try cutting back a bit, as suggested, and see if that helps.

I personally prefer the taste of Excell. :thumbsup:

I look forward to trying Excell in the future. The lemonade taste of the Xtend is pretty awful. Perhaps one of the other flavors is better? Which flavor is the best for Excell?

As far as Poseidon goes, how can you explain scientifically or quantitatively how it works? I had about a 10 day gap without taking Poseidon and I can day that I really think I feel better while taking it 3 times a day. Is this all attributed to the hyrdation levels or are there some sort of nootropics involved? Regardless, just keep it up.

I like Watermelon Excell! :thumbsup:

Poseidon helps your body perform literally thousands of different functions more efficiently. If you read this article on Methyl B-12 (just one of the ingredients in Poseidon) you'll see that it indeed has excellent neurological benefits.

I'm working on compiling a ton of data that outlines many of the ingredients in Poseidon and their benefits. Send me an email and I will forward you a rough copy if you like.

While I have not tried it, looking at the ingredient profile of Purple Wrath, Poseidon would stack quite well with it! Actually, I can't think of many supplements Poseidon wouldn't stack well with. lol! ;)
