Convenient Supplements

Anyone interested in having a convenient supplement thats handy at all time?

I'm intrigued by these powerchews...they seem like they can come in handy in a lot of situations. I plan on getting my hands on some of the bcaa's and keeping them around like in my car when needed or I don't have a pre mixed bottle with me

I also think the preworkout can be handy, i know many ppl who go from work to the gym and sometimes forget their preworkout drinks, just keep a chew in the car and you'll always be prepared

I also like the idea of getting away from pills and powders, sometimes we take so many pills and it can get old, or we mix powders like mad scientists, this is more like a candy

What do you guys think? I don't know i'm just gonna ditch my bulk aminos or anything but i think these supplements can fit into the lifestyle on the go
 
IMO chews can come in handy in handy when higher doses of something are needed like for creatine you need 5g, so making you take like 7 pills of creatine just to accomplish 5g, that case i would much rather chew some creatine chews rather than pills. Scenarios like that is where chews excel IMO
 
I like candy, but candy doesn't like me during the summer! I like the idea of chews that taste like candy to curb my sweet tooth. I'll still use my BCAA/EAA powders, but it's a great treat to have while helping reach my goals! Something about chewing is so much more satisfying than drinking ANOTHER shake!

i agree, i also have a sweet tooth, not nearly as bad as it was though, so if i have a craving, if i can get a chew and get some benefits from it such as my bcaa's, it's well worth it
 
I prefer pills/tabs because it's simple and fast. I tried the creatine chews years back and couldn't handle them. I'll just mix whatever powders I'm taking and kick back the pill at the same time.
 
I could see their pre-workout being "handy" since mixing a drink could be a pain sometimes. Like when i forget my shaker and such.
 
^^^^this.....i dont get the chews market, but it obviously works.....i find a scoop of pb or chewable vitC helps curb appetite a little.....so does eca too
 
I'm thinking the pre-workout would be handy to have in the office for a little pick-me-up, and a candy treat! Plus, my co-workers wouldn't give me all the odd stares like when I pop some pills or drink a colorful shake!

You should see the looks I get when I open up my pill case and cooler at my desk. My meals have become a spectator sport. :11:

ha when people ask "what does that one do?" I just smile and flex lol. They just shake their heads and say "you're sick in the head". :shrug:
 
I'd also love to see their reactions if I eat what looks like CANDY. OMG, the healthy guy is eating CANDY!?!? WTF!?!? Mind = blown.

True that. Forget convenience, we have to think about our coworker's mental health here.

they don't worry about my mental health, i watch a huge diabetic lady drink soda straight out of the 2 liter bottle, along with her eating 3 packs of roman noodles a day for lunch

as long as she says she's trying to do better and trying to be active, i guess it's ok though

Geezus... I have one like that too. Said he was going on weight watchers (he looks like humpty dumpty- srs) and no more than an hour later he was chomping down on doughnuts and a mickey D's breakfast sandwich. It kinda angered me, not sure why I care though.

yeah i don't know why i get mad, except for the fact that don't say your trying if your not, if theres a birthday cake or cookies in the office, she's always eating that stuff, i guess if you say out loud that your eating a small piece, the monster of a piece you take is really a small piece, the best part is when she brings in sweets that you know she just devoured the night before and asks if i want any and i turn her down everytime that she gets soo mad

maybe i'll feed her some preworkout powerchews

or my personal favorite that make me wanna stomp a baby

Ya know, my wife might actually consider eating these if they tasted good. Y'all should make a Fat Burner Chew!
 
when they take one cookie/pastry whatever, at the office, n look around, n go 'oh my god, these are so good, i dont know what it is, but i cant stop', n grab another

we all know what it is....you're a piece of s*** that cant stop eating

i agree, my g/f hates pills and doesn't like supplements anyway, she's only ever found 1 bcaa powder that she enjoys, so these would be the perfect way to help her with her training....from my experience most girls at the gym frown upon a lot of supplements, but if it's almost like a candy i don't think they'll notice and actually enjoy them

Did you ever try RPG from MST? I'm not playing around when I say I have no idea how they got BCAA/EAA's to taste sooo damn good! I highly recommend she try it.

nah never, the only amino's she likes to date are alri chain'd out, green apple....for me i usually go with recoverpro as my bcaa powder of choice, right around the same price as bulk, better ratio and some flavoring
 
I just had 2 more amino chews after lunch. Treat time! Much better than the carb binge last night!
 
Power chews.
Chewable supplements?!?!?!?!?!?!
YES I AM VERY INTERESTED. I need to check out there site and see what they offer. I dont mind swallowing a hand full of pills but drinking drink after drink sucks. Sometimes I feel like I spend just as much time pissing as I do lifting. If they taste good and is like candy that would be great. I want to try the pre workout ones.
 
The pre-workout would be great for me to have on my way to the gym from work. I don't want to have to mix stuff up at work or wait until I get to the gym to take it.

i agree, i go to the gym right after work, so i gotta chug my preworkout in the parking lot after work just to give it enough time to kick in by the time i'm ready to go in the gym

I'm with you on that! While I drink a lot of water already, it gets to be a real chore to mix up so many drinks and wash all those shakers!

I just shotgun bulk powders. Cheap and effective!

YES, cheap and effective but nasty. :hail: There is something about puke on my shoes I dont like.
Milas said:
But not as tasty. I gag on bulk powders.
Click to expand...

I with you. I myself cant stand the taste of like every bulk powder I have ever tried. I gag and I have even puked from the taste of a few
The more I think of this the more I want to try these. I hope they are worth it. Why other companies havent made this work yet IDK :fool2:
 
Better protein bars are another nice convenient and tasty treat like powerchews that can be used in between meals and to help boost total calories or protein for the day. They come in quite a few flavors and I can vouch for the chocolate raspberry....very very good!! And the sour apple is the next on my list!! ;)
 
Young Gotti said:
i agree but a lot of ppl take like 20+ pills a day, if you can cut some of them out, why not do it
Click to expand...

20...... i wish

the powerchews just make things easier, dont need water, dont need food in your stomach, etc.

Sh!t i keep em in my car and eat them while sitting in traffic on the way to work
 
I still can't see the appeal.

I chew enough with all the food I eat.

I suppose it depends how it tastes, but...

A quick shotgun of powder, takes max 2 minutes... thats pouring a cup of water, tossing in the powder, shaking, drinking.... 2-3 minutes.

How many of these things do you have to chew? Serving size? How big? Do they taste good?

Pills are ultra convenient.... there's no chewing, just swallow and go...

bcaa serving is 4 chews, maybe the size of a nickle in roundness, they taste awesome (my favorite is green)

my g/f hates pills and hates more of the powders and how they taste, but she'll eat some of these, so they work out well for her
 
I like the idea of Power Chews and one day when nutra carries them, I'll give them a shot. I have some Labrada HICA-Max BCAA chews that come in a small tub that I keep in my backpack. It's very convenient for school and for times when I need to stay late and study. I also keep a small bottle of BCAA's in my gym bag for those occasions that I forget to take my preworkout.
