Optimum Nutrition After Max Post-Workout Maximum Recovery Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Summary:
Overall, its a good product. Its tastes OK (nothing to write home about), is competitive with other choices, and comes from a trusted manufacturer. Its also a great price from this seller (AllStarHealth.com). Research what you want and make a call for yourself.
The good:
- Great combo of supplements. I'm lazy when it comes to certain things. I don't want to be bothered with buying 9 different supplements to achieve a certain result. Its great that this has a little bit of everything I need/want. I also didn't want to have to worry about buying and preparing food for recovery. I drink this to make up for my laziness.
- Mixes well. I just shook it in a regular bottle and it was fine.
- One one hand, it tastes better than I thought...
The bad:
- On the other hand, I'd still rather chug it than just drink it normally. The ready-to-drink stuff like what Muscle Milk offers tastes better, but you pay premium for it. The way I see it, I'm drinking it for function, not enjoyment, so this isn't a big deal. Its not awful, just not great either.
- Serving size. It says "3 scoops (97 grams)" is a serving. 1) that's a lot. 2) I couldn't tell whether if it was to the line on the scooper or to the top of the scooper. I'm willing to bet if I busted out a small scale, 3 scoops to the top are more than 97 grams. Trying to sell me more crap maybe?
My thoughts:
I did some reading and decided to give this one a shot. I think compared to everything that's out there, this is a pretty good choice. Its a blend of good protein, recovery carbs, and creatine. The way I see it, I get the same amount of protein as those other guys for the same price more or less PLUS those other supplements. Good deal.
For you:
I still recommend researching products to see what fits your needs personally. Some people don't buy into supplements over food. Some people don't buy into recovery carbs. Read a little from non-vendor websites and talk to nutritionists/trainers. Experiment with supplements, food, serving sizes, etc. Your body is made up of chemicals and everyone is different, so its not one size fits all.
Regardless of what you do, everyone in the fitness community agrees: 1) you need something for recovery and 2) it should be as soon after your work out as possible. People say its a 1-2 hour window. I'd say with digestion in mind, just eat within 30 minutes to be safe. Digesting fluids is far faster than solids and pouring powder in a cup is super fast preparation, protein shakes aren't a bad choice.
