ProteinCo Canada's Amino RecoveryAs I mentioned in an earlier post where I gave my impressions on ProteinCo’s Pre-Workout Drink, I also got a chance to try out their Amino Recovery! I want to mention right off the bat that ProteinCo did NOT cheap out on this formula or the serving size of it. 80g of quality ingredients in EACH serving; in contrast, most post workouts these days seem to be about half that serving size or even less. Some companies call their BCAA + Glutamine blends “post workouts”. In reality, a BCAA + Glutamine blend is more of an intra-workout shake, you will still want to take your post-workout afterwards. Keep in mind that after a workout your glycogen levels are drained and your muscles torn (assuming it was an intense workout) so you need simple/fast absorbing carbs and protein to begin re-fueling your body so it can repair those muscles efficiently and effectively. This is where Amino Recovery comes in, its 50g carbohydrate blend consisting of waxy maize, dextrose, and maltodextrin is perfect for replenishing those glycogen stores and increasing the absorption rate of the 28g anti-catabolic blend consisting primarily of amino acids and creatine.

Yes, maltodextrin is technically a complex carb but the carbohydrate chain it is made up of is very weak and broken down extremely easily by your body and thus makes it’s absorption rate just a fraction slower than dextrose. As far as the waxy maize starch goes, waxy maize is designed to bypass the stomach to shuttle amino acids, creatine, and other nutrients effectively – cool huh?

Amino Recovery, as noted earlier, features a 28g anti-catabolic blend consisting of select amino acids such as BCAA’s; which do wonders for muscle repair. Along side these amino acids you also get creatine, Siberian ginseng, and as an added bonus you even get some electrolytes thrown in there for hydration! So, as you can see, on paper this is a seemingly perfect recovery supplement…

Did it live up to it’s label?

Simply put – Yes! You will not be disappointed with Amino Recovery. Take a full serving after an intense workout and you WILL notice the difference in comparison to if you only had a simple protein shake, or BCAA supplement. My first time using it was after a cross fit workout, which are designed to push your limits to the max, and the next two days I didn’t feel near as sore as I usually do. Yes, you still will feel sore; I don’t think they have come out with a supplement that will heal you like superman yet, but Amino Recovery by ProteinCo will suffice until they do.

Taste wise? I had the vanilla flavour and it was very sweet tasting but still easy to drink. To adjust the sweetness you can just add more water, I generally do not use a lot of water in my shakes which is why I found it so sweet. You can tell their is a good amount of waxy maize in it just by the texture when mixed up; if you have ever had waxy maize before then you will know what I mean. If you haven’t then just wait until you do and it will all make sense, a very unique texture. My favourite quality about the flavour is that it doesn’t leave a bad after taste in your mouth like many other recovery drinks do!

Overall, this is an excellent post workout formula and you can get it from ProteinCo Canada for just $39.95 (15 servings). 15 servings may seem a bit low but keep in mind that they are 80g servings; not just half servings like many other companies have…

PS. To save 10% on your first order from ProteinCo.ca use the following coupon code: “10proteincotr” – This means Amino Recovery will only cost $35.95!

Get Green Coffee Bean Extract in Canada!

Click the image above to check out the product page!

Canadians, like people from every other country, are looking for weight loss solutions. A study was recently conducted on green coffee beans, and surprisingly, it was discovered that these beans possess a weight loss potential.

There are many forms of green coffee beans. Green coffee beans are either used as regular coffee beans to prepare coffee or the extract is added to dietary supplements. Green coffee bean extract diet pills have particularly caused a lot of hype in the weight loss industry since being featured on the Dr. Oz show.

What is Green Coffee Bean Extract?

Green coffee beans are coffee beans that have not been roasted and the substance that is extracted from these coffee beans is known as green coffee bean extract. A number of polyphenolic compounds like chlorogenic acid are contained in the extract. It has been discovered that these compounds possess potent antioxidant traits. Unlike roasted coffee beans, green coffee beans contain a much larger amount of antioxidants.

Usually, the amount of chlorogenic acid significantly decreases once the coffee beans are roasted and therefore, they do not offer the same health benefits as unroasted coffee beans. Apart from combating free radicals in the body, many other health benefits are also offered by green coffee bean extract such as reducing blood-glucose levels, safeguarding against the visceral fat buildup, boosting weight loss, and even lowering blood pressure.

How Does Green Coffee Bean Extract Help with Weight Loss?

The extract from green coffee beans works in numerous ways. The amount of glucose that is absorbed into the intestine is reduced. An enzyme in the liver that promotes the release of glucose into the bloodstream is inhibited by the chlorogenic acids contained in the extract. So, healthy blood sugar levels in the body are maintained through these two mechanisms. This way, the body is induced to burn the fat stored in it, and this is what results in weight loss.

The size of fat cells is also reduced by the active components contained in green coffee bean extract. This way, along with losing weight, those who consume this extract are also able to improve their muscle-to-fat ratio and lower their body mass index.

How and Where to Get Green Coffee Bean Extract?

As mentioned, you can drink green bean coffee but to get the daily recommended dose for weight loss, at least 800mg, you would have to drink A LOT of coffee. The best way to get at least 800mg of green coffee bean extract is buy taking it in supplement form. Overall, consuming green coffee in a concentrated supplement from will be MUCH more effective for weight loss.

However, when it comes to buying a green coffee extract supplement, finding them in local Canadian stores is not an easy task. Fortunately, green coffee bean products and green coffee bean extract diet pills can be conveniently purchased online, which is a much better option for Canadian residents.

At Evolution-Slimming you can get 180ct 2000mg Green Coffee Extract pills in Canada for only $47 dollars, That’s right 2000mg! Use promo code: WG-NY-NY to get an extra 10% OFF your order!

ProteinCo Pre-Workout Drink

Use coupon code: "10proteincotr" so save 10% on your first purchase from ProteinCo.ca!

ProteinCo has just recently began selling supplements in Canada and their company features premium quality products that have been scientifically formulated and tested by Olympic athletes!

I managed to get my hands on their Pre-Workout Drink and their Amino Recovery products; don’t be fooled by their generic names, both of these products are top notch and use very high quality ingredients.

First off, ProteinCo’s Pre-Workout Drink is stimulant FREE; this gives the user the option of adding in their own stimulants. Personally, I often workout in the evening and would prefer not to be up all night with a caffeine buzz so I love when a pre-workout is caffeine free(you can always add in your own caffeine). Remember, caffeine pills are super cheap; ProteinCo sells 100tabs 200mg ea for only $5.95 – one of the best deals I’ve seen for caffeine pills. Pre-Workout Drink features a 20g carbohydrate energy blend consisting of dextrose and malodextrin. Along with the energy blend they have a anti-catabolic blend consisting of select amino acids such as the BCAA’s to aid in recovery/endurance and L-citruline to jack up your Nitric Oxide production. ProteinCo even added in some electrolytes to the blend which is always a welcome addition to any pre-workout formula.

On to my initial impressions…

Taste: This product tastes awesome; sweetened mainly with stevia extract as well as sucralose. It is worth noting that they have used higher quality stevia extract so you do not get that nasty after taste that is common with lower grade stevia. Currently the only flavour is fruit punch, but I would rather they have only 1 flavour that tastes delicious than have 2 flavours that are both just so-so. There still is a little bit of a BCAA taste in there but knowing how gross BCAA’s taste just unflavoured, ProteinCo has done a great job hiding that taste. It is also worth noting that they plan to make all their products sweetened exclusively with stevia, making them 100% natural. Always nice to hear when companies decide to stay away from artificial ingredients.

Energy: I was surprised how much energy this product gave considering it did not contain any caffeine; I mean you’re still not going to compare it to 1MR or Jack3d energy wise but the “super concentrated” stim filled, feel like your on speed, pre-workout phase is slowing down now. Like I said before, if you find that you still need that stimulant buzz then you can just throw a caffeine pull into the mix.

Pump: since there is no caffeine in this product to act as a vaso-constrictor; my pump felt noticeably bigger than when I take any stim based pre-workout. Genetically, I am not a very vascular guy but my bicep and forearm veins were popping out while using this product. I know some might say it was just placebo but either way I don’t care I was amped up.

Overall: Upon initial impressions I would definitely recommend trying out this product if you are in the market for a stimulant free pre-workout drink or want the option of being able to add in your own stimulants. I will post updated impressions later in the month once I have finished my tub! Stay tuned.

If you want to buy ProteinCo’s Pre-Workout Drink then head over to ProteinCo Canada and pick up a tub for only $44.99! They have a factory direct business model, which keeps costs down for YOU! Just a bonus for everyone if you use the coupon code “10proteincotr” you will get an extra 10% OFF your first order! *does not apply to multiple unit pricing(stacks) as these are already deeply discounted.
