I can't make a true comparison now because I am not taking Xceed by itself. I am in my 3rd week of PCT (MaxLMG/Prostanozol cycle). Taking Xceed, NHA stack, Fuze and Retain. And I must say my strength gains are as good if not better than when I was on cycle. I ended my cycle at 183lbs and now I'm 185.5lbs. Plus like I said before the taste is amazing. Kinda like Minute Maid Light Lemonade. I use to buy bulk cee and various other bulk powders and mix them together, but it gets annoying doing that every morning. IMHO this is a solid product and I will be purchasing it again.
