The only two Biotest supplements I’ve tried

Yea, I’m taking pictures of food and supplements now.



Grow! is their whey protein (not to be confused with Metabolic Drive, their whey/casein blend) and so far it’s pretty good. Supposedly it’s a better quality whey than some of the cheaper stuff I’ve been buying, and it’s very economical considering the company. Biotest often gets blasted for overhyping their products, but the consensus seems to be they are still quality supplements. I trust Brian St. Pierre’s reviews and Grow got one of his stamps of approval, so I’m trying it out.

I’ve written about Spike a lot before, and I love it. With 300mg of caffeine plus a shit ton of B-vitamins in each can, it gets the engine revving before a workout, or even a study session. Regular coffee doesn’t really affect me that much anymore mentally (though I’m back down to 1 cup of black a day, occasionally 2), but Spike is the one thing that gives me that mental edge for whatever I’m doing. Instant mood elevator. I usually have about 2 per week, and I definitely have to watch the caffeine intake during the day to allow for it.

Other than that, the supplements are just creatine monohydrate, fish oil, and maybe some magnesium before bed.
