Product Review: Levrone Formula

2010-10-20T15:57:00.001+08:00

Here are some kind words from the IFBB Hall of Famer himself, Kevin Levrone...

In a world full of marketing gimmicks fuelled by the undying flames of consumerism, we sometimes find ourselves face to face with products that we don't understand, yet expect them to deliver on expectations.

Pre-workouts, needless to say often fall prey to this situation. It's simple really. Pre-workouts stimulate for a better workout by enhancing focus, strength and energy. Just getting the skin-bursting pumped up feeling is enough motivation for any gym rat to chug a serving down. And with the stiff competition in sports nutrition, some companies try to create a blend or cocktail of ingredients hoping to cover a broader spectrum of physiological effects when some may actually be unnecessary or are not clinically proven yet.

This is where Levrone Formula is different. It's designed by Kevin himself and has no colourings, no artificial flavours and absolutely no sweeteners for starts. It only gets better by containing just what you need to get you going.

8 grams combination of arginine and citrulline malate. I last read that citrulline is the better bet to get sick pumps compared to simply arginine alone.
250mgs of ATP and 5mgs of NADH. So little NADH? Well, I remember back in the labs of schooling days that this stuff is fucking expensive. It's a coenzyme that's involved in the energy pathways of the human body.
2grams of L-tyrosine and 1gram of Yerba Mate for that mental focus. Instead of the ol' caffeine trick, Levrone instead goes a little herbal. Yerba Mate does contain xanthines but it seems the effects are more profound for muscular tissue rather than the central nervous system.
The rest of the product build are vitamins B3, C and some lactic acid buffers. Mighty useful if you ask me.

So how does the product fare? I had a shot of LF before my workout on night. The beauty of the product is that it is quite stimulant free so I can stack it with a fat burner or use it in the evenings. Unfortunately, the immediate downside of the product will hit you the moment you take a gulp. Yes, it doesn't exactly taste like Jack3d or Bullnox Androrush but I suppose that's the tradeoff for not using artificial flavours or sweeteners. It's brutal but it works.

If you're the kind of person to appreciate organic food and know that what tastes good isn't necessarily the best thing for your body, then Levrone Formula is for you. Conversely, if you're a mama's boy who loves his candy and refuses to work with something that doesn't go down easy, then skip Levrone's idea of a pre-workout.

Was chatting with KarateKakak before gym. I commented on how she was applying CounterPain even before starting a workout. She explained that she must've sustained some injury without realizing the telltale signs before. I quote, "That time thought no pain no gain, now more pain no brain..."

I could only chuckle.

Had a light training session today. Feeling feverish with a sore throat I caught during the day. Hope it doesn't blow out fully.
