Made some noticeable gains in strength and workout performance. Much better than other products I've tried recently. Shame it's the worst tasting shake I've used in 17 years if training!!
- Taste
Jason, Newcastle 05/04/2010
This stuff foamed up and took me about an hour to drink, got the choc-orange and very strong and sharp tasting.
Not the best CNP shake I have tried as I have only had one shake and I am dreading the next one already...
Going to try next with milk as water isnt happening for me and if thats no good then its going to back of the cupboard for a very long time...
- Good Tasting And A Good List Of Ingredients
Derek, Belfast 22/04/2009
First off, this stuff tastes pretty good and does not upset my stomach. Always a bonus with protein drinks. If it makes you want to gag you probably won't use it as often as you should. This stuff is not too sweet which makes it easier to keep down- for me at least. CNP always make good stuff and the list of ingredients here is great with lots of useful stuff added. You can certainly feel the Beta-Al 'tingle' after you've had a glass of this stuff which suggests the extra ingredients are there in a decent quantity. It's quite pricey but worth it if you'd be supplementing with Beta-alanine, creatine and Amino Acids aspartate anyway

CNP Professional
Pro Solo
:
Pro Solo is an ergogenic all in 1 formula for increased muscle size and strength.
An Ergogenic aid is something that :
- Improves physical performance beyond normally achievable levels - Enhances responsiveness to training - Accelerates recovery
Pro Solo from CNP Professional will aid all three aspects as it is a unique combination of ingredients to assist in muscle growth, increase strength and improve endurance.
Whey protein - to stimulate muscle protein synthesis and can promote gains in lean muscle tissue when combined with exercise and a suitable nutritional protocol.
Creatine - for increased power, strength and muscle volume.
Citrulline Malate - Some individuals suffer from impaired amino acid metabolism, often due to GI conditions. As an amino acid precursor, citrulline is the preferred way to provide aminos and increase NO production. However, several key studies in humans have determined that citrulline can play a pivotal role in maintaining nitrogen balance in stressed conditions, e.g. post workout.
Amino acids aspartate along with pine bark extract, this is added for NO synthesis. There are several studies which note the synergistic effect of these 2 ingredients on NO. The aspartate salt is the most commonly used in studies. The AKG version is foul tasting and not established to be effective at moderate dosages.
Magnesium Orotate - Indicated to improve exercise tolerance under stressed conditions in trained athletes, coronary patients and animal studies. As a source of magnesium (Mg), MO is indicated for the oral treatment of extracellular Mg deficiency. Orotic acid is shown to improve energy status of all the above and, vitally, improves the synthesis of glycogen and ATP. Because Orotic acid has been identified as a "Magnesium-fixing agent", it is also indicated for the treatment of magnesium depletion, as convincingly shown in animal experiments and also in coronary heart patients undergoing bypass surgery (weight-trained athletes have also been shown to suffer low Mg levels).
Beta-alanine: restoring alanine levels and, of course, a precursor to carnosine: the body's main buffering agent. Correcting acidic pH levels will improve performance, reduce soreness and support high IGF-1 levels.
Taurine - A good vasodilator which will reduce fatigue through this mechanism. Also a key nutrient in cell volume regulation and cellular hydration. It is also worth noting that beta-alanine may reduce systemic taurine levels.
Pantethine - Increases Coenzyme A pool, thus has the potential to increase aerobic capacity.
