Nitrean and Opticen Review
As promised, I am going to talk for a moment about the two protein
products I am currently using. At
Large's Nitrean and Opticen . My desires are really simple. It must
taste decent and I like a blend of whey and casein proteins.
In my previous post, I reviewed some of the other proteins I tried in an
attempt to find the right one. I returned in April to At
Large and have not regretted it. I have been using Nitrean
and Opticen
for my supplementation.
Nitrean - I prefer vanilla flavors for my regular protein. I use this
protein to make smoothies, mix with yogurt, oatmeal and make other foods
with. I have found the vanilla is a little more versatile than the other
flavors. I have tried both the chocolate and strawberry. They are good,
smooth, but I prefer the vanilla. It has a light mild flavor, not bland,
but at the same time, not over powering. Here are the nutrition aspects
of Nitrean.
On the zavascale I give this an A+.
Opticen - This product is a post workout drink. I have never used one of
these before and thought I would give it a shot. It is a combination of
carbs and protein with a great chocolate flavor. As with any protein
product, if you are looking for a smooth milk like texture, you will be
let down. Opticen mixes thick but drinkable. It has a mild brownie type
of taste. Even with the dextrose included, I have not found this to be
too sweet. It has served as a great pw drink and has become part of my
regimen The nutritional numbers of Opticen can be found HERE:
On the zavascale I give this product an A
I recommend heartily both Nitrean
and Opticen for your protein supplementation.
