5/5
So, i actually won a bottle of this off of a FB contest and received an additional for review from PES. The timing couldn't have been any better for me! That gives me an 8 week supply. So let's go:
Serving size is 1 scoop (84 per container)
Directions are pretty standard here. Begin with 1 scoop mixed with 4-5oz of water on an empty stomach 15-30 minutes before breakfast for the first 2 days to assess tolerance. Additional scoop may be taken 5-6hrs later. One you've figured out your tolerance, an additional morning scoop may be added. For a total of 3 scoops a day. Do not exceed 3 scoops in a 24hr period and all that good stuff.
Ingredient profile: Basically a bunch of stuff you need a Ph.D to understand or extensive research through a search engine.
Alphamine FIT Matrix 1567.5mg per serving
Ergo-Thermogenic System
N-Coumaroyldopamine 10mg (powerful beta-2-agonist)
Mixability: Mixes very well, no leftover granules to speak of
Flavor: Fruit Punch This is a tad sweet for me, so i just added an additional 3oz of water. It amazes me how PES get's their flavors so right on. They say Fruit Punch it is just that. A sweet fruit punch flavor without any aftertastes or any flavors of aspirin. I actually enjoyed the flavor with my added water. I dont see this flavor being a problem to swig down twice a day for the next 4 weeks. I would much rather drink this flavor-wise than say a hi-c or whatever other fruit punch brands that are out there.
Effectiveness: I workout in the a.m. so i drink my creatine, NOS, and such instead of a meal. I ended up taking ALPHAMINE at lunch time and then again on my 2nd break at work which would equal to dinner time(about 5pm) So i had the doses spread by 5-6hrs daily. I took mine within the 15-30 minute before lunch/dinner span. I notice quite quickly the effects of ALPHAMINE. I have a certain "feel good" feeling going on, with a definite increase in energy. It is not an overpowering land you on your ass energy. A very nice, smooth, keep you going all day kind of thing. I really enjoy this type of energy. My supervisor at work also does, he noticed i had a little more pep in my step and commented on how well i kept my machine running and clean.
Hunger: I had noticed a few posts here and there about many people losing their appetite. I though i was going a little nuts until i read it a few times. I 100% noticed a decrease in my hunger and therefore food consumption. Being that i'm a "less fit" guy at present do to an illness, this is perfect for me. There was a marked decrease in my consumption in the way of, i have been bringing my leftover food home with me after work. This has NEVER, not once occurred before.
Overall: Overall, i have to say this is now my favorite Thermo. I have previous experience with thermos, and weight loss supps since back before ephedrine was even a popular thing, then banned. From the taste to the mixability, to the fact i didnt have the typical crash most of the products i have used have given me, i have to give this high marks.
Taste 9.0/10
