Damn I remember ultimaAnything in the works around a stim free intra drink? I used to love Ultima by Omega back in the day
Overrated and tasted like crap tbh lolDamn I remember ultima
Blasphemy lol (it did taste like absolute trash tho)Overrated and tasted like crap tbh lol
Tasted horrible. But for the time it was the bestOverrated and tasted like crap tbh lol
I remember Metaform Heat from 96'ish after all these years later bc the taste was so traumatic.In the 80's all supplements tasted horrible !!
In theory, I would think so, if that's the way you choose to use it.I love a good sleeping pill, but I’m on an IF schedule, and always feel like I have trouble absorbing them after dinner. Would the sleep shot be able to be held in the mouth long enough for some absorption there? I keep some dissolving melatonin available as it circumvents that problem but would love more hardcore products available that fit the bill as well.
Yes, we have Intra's planned under both SNS, CEL, and possibly also Muscle Addiction this coming year.Anything in the works around a stim free intra drink? I used to love Ultima by Omega back in the day
Any reason why it needs to be Grape Bubblegum and not just regular without the Grape? I've noticed this with a lot of companies doing it as Grape Bubblegum but I will say I have tried a few that were just bubblegum, not grape, and they tasted very good.Yes, we have Intra's planned under both SNS, CEL, and possibly also Muscle Addiction this coming year.
I can't say too much about the formulas quite yet, except they will both be very comprehensive and have similarities, but CEL's will have some uniqueness to it that will appeal to some of the more hardcore customer base.
For SNS and CEL, the formulas are pretty much finalized and we will likely start requesting flavor samples as soon as next week.
If anyone would like to suggest flavors, I'm open to suggestions or opinions.
The plan as of right now is to have several flavor samples made of each and launch with the two best of each one and then add flavors as time goes on &/or as sales and demand grows.
Here are some of the options that I'm think of narrowing down from:
Blue Raspberry or Sour Blue Raspberry
Grape Bubblegum
Grape Limeade
Jaw Breaker
Lemon Lime
Peach Rings/Sour Peach Candy
Pink Grapefruit
Sour Apple
Tigers Blood (typically watermelon, strawberry, hint of coconut)
Watermelon
We would want 2 flavors of each to launch and for the flavors to not be overlapping; we'd want different flavors for each product.
No, Grape Bubblegum is just a flavor that I like myself and one that we've been asked for.Any reason why it needs to be Grape Bubblegum and not just regular without the Grape?

Also, I'd suggest Rocket Pop, Snow Cone, and Pineapple Orange
Thinking like a concord grape type flavor?Grape
Blood Orange
Grape bubblegum is just a really solid flavor. Never had a supp in that flavor that wasn’t at least decent .Any reason why it needs to be Grape Bubblegum and not just regular without the Grape?

I love that flavor personally so always open to thatBlueberry/Pom
Thank you.I’ll drink whatever and am not too picky, but I like peach, watermelon, and apple plus any sort of sour flavors long term.
I was just looking at my cupboard tho and intra is the only thing sns/cel hasn’t replaced for me yet (other than maybe multi/efa but you’ve talked about reasons for not bringing those out so far anyways).
I’m just waiting for daily gains and an intra.
Welsh's Grape JuiceThinking like a concord grape type flavor?
Blood orange is one that may be a good option for additional flavors.
I haven't tried that in so many years. I'll grab one over the weekend to remind me of what flavor that would be like asking for from a flavor sampling end. I'm definitely open to a grape flavor.Welsh's Grape Juice
I have the formula laid out for a hair, skin, and nails type beauty formula with a few more cool things added into it.How about a “beauty” anti aging all in one supp for the older crowd?
Can never go wrong with Grape or Sour apple IMO. Please don’t make them overly sweet!!!! I guess I could always add more water though.Yes, we have Intra's planned under both SNS, CEL, and possibly also Muscle Addiction this coming year.

I've always thought about doing a post workout but they've never been a great selling category. But I'm definitely open to it.Post-workout powder containing the following: Creatine, Leucine, D-Ribose, HICA, Velositol, Betaine Anhydrous, Calcium-HMB, Astragin.
I think it'd have to be formualted as an intra/post-WO drink that you'd start during and finish after. Otherwise it just ends up being too much liquid around a short time frame with a pre, intra aminos/carbs, then a post. And then some do a shake after.I've always thought about doing a post workout but they've never been a great selling category. But I'm definitely open to it.
Yeah I’d personally skip. Obviously has use but I feel you’ll see a company release one, and within a year or two, it’s off the market.I've always thought about doing a post workout but they've never been a great selling category. But I'm definitely open to it.

Agreed. Also I’ve seen too many post workouts that just don’t seem to offer a good value. Like even if the ingredients cost a lot and the company isn’t marking it up that bad, I just think a lot of consumers get a better bang for the buck on the pre/Intra side or even protein.I think it'd have to be formualted as an intra/post-WO drink that you'd start during and finish after.

I wasn't going to post it and spoil it, but you nailed it - that was my plan with one of the products.I think it'd have to be formualted as an intra/post-WO drink that you'd start during and finish after.

Yeah, its definitely not as popular as the pre-workout category.Yeah I’d personally skip. Obviously has use but I feel you’ll see a company release one, and within a year or two, it’s off the market.
Instead of a post workout product, I’d rather just see a protein powder. Then you could eventually run package deals for a pre workout, intra, and protein powder combo
My original thought was wanting to add Clusterdextrin to one of them but I'm thinking now that I may either have a Clusterdextrin and carb free version of it if I do &/or do a Clusterdextrin separate as a stand alone option and that way people could use the dosage that they wanted to with what they wanted to.I was thinking about adding cluster dextrin to it as well.
I think that's 99% of people and that's why we've never done a post workout before and why now, I had been planning on a formula that could double as both.Hi would be more likely to use an intra formula than a post
I think that the average person is only going to drink 1 product around their workout; then some people will drink 2 - a pre-workout and an intra; and that protein is a norm post workout - but that people just aren't interested or willing to drink a 3rd drink in addition to the protein.Agreed. Also I’ve seen too many post workouts that just don’t seem to offer a good value. Like even if the ingredients cost a lot and the company isn’t marking it up that bad, I just think a lot of consumers get a better bang for the buck on the pre/Intra side or even protein.
I could just foresee a lot of effort here for a product that comes out to be $2/scoop where it’s just not going to be a big seller. Even as a loyal fan I’d put that money into other products from the lineup.
That's the key right there.I wasn't going to post it and spoil it, but you nailed it - that was my plan with one of the products.
I'd mentioned that we were thinking of doing two different ones and one of them is tentatively designed to where it could be used pre/intra/post. I don't mean pre in the sense of a pre-workout, I mean it in the sense of how many of us use EAA's or BCAA's pre and intra.
Yeah, its definitely not as popular as the pre-workout category.
I wish that we could do a protein, but protein prices are at an all-time high and even when they aren't, for most brands they are products that are very low margin at best and sometimes brands lose money on them after factoring in shipping; and we just can't take that chance right now. I also feel like we would need a bigger distribution network in general, as in more people knowing about us as a brand.
My original thought was wanting to add Clusterdextrin to one of them but I'm thinking now that I may either have a Clusterdextrin and carb free version of it if I do &/or do a Clusterdextrin separate as a stand alone option and that way people could use the dosage that they wanted to with what they wanted to.
I'm a huge Clusterdextrin fan and have loved than ingredient before most people had ever heard of it, but the downside to adding it in a product and not giving people a carb free option of the same product is that Clusterdextrin is expensive and adds quite a bit to a product cost and also that some people want to avoid carbs altogether.
I think that's 99% of people and that's why we've never done a post workout before and why now, I had been planning on a formula that could double as both.
I can't give out formula details yet, but it would be one where someone could take 1 to 2 scoops pre/intra and then another scoop post if they would like to.
I think that the average person is only going to drink 1 product around their workout; then some people will drink 2 - a pre-workout and an intra; and that protein is a norm post workout - but that people just aren't interested or willing to drink a 3rd drink in addition to the protein.
That's why I was thinking of doing a product that a person could do 2 scoops of and drink pre and intra or 3 scoops of and start sipping 15 mins pre, drink most of it intra, and finish it off post.
Thank you. Very well said and I agree on pretty much all points.That's the key right there.
Start sipping pre and during the workout. I know that's how the most common insulin and pre/intra protocol works with the pros... and when I daable with intra (no slin of course) I have a big 64oz jug and I start sipping as I pull up to the gym and I finish it as I leave the gym.
Being that I'm keto and fast, I don't do that all the time and my favorite intra mix always has cluster dextrin which is pretty "forgiving" so to say with regards to ketosis if I don't go overboard but I tend to only do that every so often (I fast so that's the other issue and teain very early).
I use to also make a carb free version loaded with EAAs and the usual stuff.
I'd say best thing for a brand would be to do a carb free and offer the cluster dextrin as a standalone because so much can be done with the dextrin as a single product....and what if the amount of carbs you have in the intra is too little or too much for a customer?... will definitely have all sorts of opinions about how much carbs are ideal.
Seems like a headache for a brand (and customer) to try to design the formula having the correct amount of carbs to "make everyone happy" which can't be done.
Many customers may not want carbs intra or they may just want to sprinkle maybe 10 gms. Then in the off-season, so to say..they add more.
Also think of the cluster dextrin like a stimulant you add to a stim free pre workout. You add as much as you want or as little as you want as per your current goals (or time of the day you workout)
A fully loaddd intra with cluster dextrin is just going to be way too costly for a brand (and a customer) IMHO, I'd have to assume 25 servings needs to retail for like $60 +. Id much rather have 2 products. But that's just me. If we weren't dealing with carbs as the ingredient in question then this would be less of a problem for people IMHO.
I can also see this a nice opportunity for a promotion every so often, bundle the 2 as a promo and they really are the perfect match for a bundle. I think that would do well.
None of these I even need to tell you as I'm sure you have these ideas in your head as we speak.
Agreed. I tend to drink 1/3-1/2 as I get ready for the gym then sip throughout.That's the key right there.

This ingredient had been available for awhile as a branded ingredient but I hadn't seen it used in anything, so they had wound up going exclusive with Muscletech on it.I think muscle tech bought the rights to it.
I’m fairly underwhelmed with the sample packs. I get the on-paper appeal but nothing about the experience seemed that special.This ingredient had been available for awhile as a branded ingredient but I hadn't seen it used in anything, so they had wound up going exclusive with Muscletech on it.
I thought about a hangover product and have had a formula designed for a long time; I'll probably do one at some point, but probably would later on like late next year or something unless we get a lot more requests for it.Hangover Support XT
