Effective but grainy

Pre workout: icy berry
Post workout: pina colada
Protein: vanilla
Pre workout definitely works. I find that 3/4 scoops works for me as I am usually sensitive. I do feel I sweat more and have added boost during my weight training.
Post workout has good flavor. Had frothy layer on top after mixing.
The protein tastes very good for protein supplements.
The protein DID NOT mix well in coffee just FYI. I used several methods to mix like spoon/shaker cup/ninja blender/whisk. Nothing helped with dissolution of the products.

This works for me, RECONSTRUXION is everything

I don’t like putting out $ and not getting a good product. This stack really impressed me. I found the the X-cite really helps I love the iced berry blast flavor. I really enjoy the chocolate protein shake with almond milk. The Reconstruxion rally helps with the soreness. I love the pina colada favor. I appreciate how far I have come with AX-1.

First time ordering a stack- so far so good

I was going to hold off on the review till I finished the stack but I was actually blown away by the effectiveness of RX3 for soreness. I’m a crossfit athlete and a busy mom who seems to be in a state of constant soreness! I read the reviews about RX3 helping with soreness. Since I already take a pre workout and can always use a good protein powder I thought why not get the stack. For the first time in I don’t know how long I’ve been able to perform WODs and not feel like an old lady the next day. The taste isn’t bad. Unlike RX1 (which tastes like candy) and RX4 which is very dessert like when mixed with milk; you can taste the supplements in RX3. It’s not bad but it definitely has a ‘taste’. I personally do not care because I can feel the results but if you’re one of those people who needs everything to taste like a kool aid drink you may want to mix it with juice or lemonade. Either way, I”m very happy with the product and look forward to breaking some PRs in the gym!

I LOVE this stack

I love these supplements. Since I started using it 4 months ago, I have noticed a few things: 1) The pre-workout gets me pumped for my workout. 2) The protein tastes delicious. 3) RX-3 has stopped muscle soreness dead in its tracks (even after the toughest workouts). I can’t recommend this stack enough times to anyone thinking of including supplementation into their diets.

I lost 35 pounds!

Started following AX1 with my husband as a new year resolution. When that was over I moved into Max Shred and he went onto Max Size. I noticed I was getting sore from the workouts so I started taking his RX3. It absolutely helped eliminate the soreness. When I started intermittent fasting I wanted something to sip on during the day to help meet my protein requirements. At that point the stack became a complete no brainer for me. My husband gets the muscle stack and I order this. Shipping is fast and free and we can get two different flavors of RX1 and RX3 which offers up some variety!

Great taste, no side effects

Not much to say here other than if you’re serious about your workouts you need to be supplementing. The preworkout is optional but for me, I need it for fast energy. Post workout and a good protein powder are a must! I’ve tried ON, Fitmiss, shakeology, pretty much all of them and this is my new obsession! I love the taste of the RX4 mixed with some milk and a little instant coffee. Completely replaces my need for a fancy iced coffee for $6! The recovery one is a little bitter but I know that’s from the huge amounts of glutamine so I just use a small amount of water and chug it down. It’s not bad but it’s not something you want to sip all night.

Great for Crossfit!

This is the best supplement line I have ever used. I have tried many brands, and had difficulty digesting them. With other brands, i felt like I had a brick in my stomach. This one digests easy, mixes without lumps, and tastes fantastic. My go to protein shake is RX4 Dutch Chocolate with banana and peanut butter. I do crossfit so I need fast energy and faster recovery. I get both of those with this stack.

Easy digestion. No bloating or discomfort

How much time do you have? Oh, how I could go on about this stuff. I have done more research on different types of protein powders and supplements. I have tried too many brands to name. THIS. This is the way to go if you are looking for something effective with great taste, full of good nutrition, minus a lot of crap you don’t need. I’ve really gotten into running and strength training, and I needed something to add a good dose of protein and nutrition to my day. Other options didn’t taste anywhere near as good, weren’t as “clean,” or didn’t mix well. With this, I essentially make the healthiest soft serve ice cream, I mean smoothie bowl, for breakfast every morning — a bit of frozen apple, frozen pear, a couple of cups of frozen cauliflower, 2 scoops of this, 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla cashew milk, 1/2 cup of cold coffee, a bunch of spices (clove, cinnamon, allspice, cayenne, black pepper, and turmeric), a couple of piece of frozen ginger root — toss it in my food processor and AMAZING. It is also good mixed into oatmeal (add a 1/2 cup pumpkin puree and WOW). If you need a little more sweetness, a few drops of monk fruit sweetener pairs well. Really, I tried every other brand for you. This is a great choice. I love it! I’ve been using it a couple of months now, and I feel the difference. I highly recommend it!

Can't go wrong with AthleanRX!

My husband swears by Jeff’s supplements. I do intermittent fasting and was looking for something to help me get more protein so of course I tried the Protein for Women. I was hooked after the first taste. When it came time to try and add in a pre workout the choice was a no brainer. I’d tried my husbands so I knew I wouldn’t have any issues with the tingling (some people don’t like it). Overall I’m very happy with it.

So far so good!

Delivery was fast! Always makes me happy!
Started today just made & had my first shake before my workout. Felt the tingling feeling people talk about but I didn’t mind it. It made me feel like it was working. After reading other reviews which have been mostly positive I said what the heck why not. Taste is great I got the chocolate protein… didnt make mine with milk but instead used coconut water w/pineapple and peanut butter.

Product Overview

The Power

Women have unique requirements for nutrients like Calcium and Vitamin D and often times have a harder time meeting daily protein intake requirements based on lower overall caloric intake. Deficiencies in any of these areas, while bad enough for the non-training female, become amplified for the hard training female athlete. Exercise alone is not enough to offset the increased risks of Osteoporosis and compromised bone health. Supplementation plays a critical role in supplying the calcium and vitamin D needed for optimal bone strength. When we created RX4 WOMEN, we did so with the “why not?” mindset. Why not help women meet their key nutrient requirements while at the same time, powering their workouts with the nutrients needed to maximize training performance? The results were extraordinary. Each serving of RX4 WOMEN is packed with 1000mg of calcium, 3000 iu’s of vitamin D and 20 grams of ultra high quality whey protein. We didn’t stop there however. Also included are a host of other important nutrients like MCT’s for improved endurance and fat burning, Royal Jelly Powder for better immunity, and CoQ10 for an increased anaerobic threshold and performance while providing heart protective benefits as well.

Just like with our Base Stack, the Women’s Stack includes RX1 Pre-Workout for focus and energy to power hard training sessions without the dreaded crash as well as RX3 for faster muscle repair and decreased post workout soreness.

The Science

Years of research and planning went into the formulation of ATHLEAN-RX Supplements. Not only did we make sure to include the most scientifically proven and trusted ingredients during their development, but our commitment to constantly updating our formulas to reflect the latest advancements in sports nutritional science has and always will be our top priority. We set an amazingly high bar for quality supplementation, continuing to test and retest our formulas based on the feedback of some of the world’s greatest professional athletes as well as our loyal customers. What you have before you is the result of our obsession...the best supplements available on the market, not just in efficacy and performance - but in taste and reliability as well.

The Facts

All of ATHLEAN-RX supplements have been researched to provide clinically proven dosages of the most effective supplement ingredients in the world. We never use fillers, harsh chemicals or banned substances which is why our customers never experience jitters, crashes, or bloat common in lesser quality brands. Our supplements include premium, patented ingredients such as CarnoSyn® Beta-Alanine as well as creatine in its more readily absorbable state (as both CON-CRET® patented Creatine Hydrochloride and Kre-Alkalyn®), to ensure you’re getting the best product on the market.

All of our supplements are proudly produced in the United States to the highest industry standards. Our commitment to transparency and quality has RX supplements trusted by many of the top teams and athletes in major league sports subject to the most rigid drug testing standards.

The Results

Our Women’s Stack is built off of the key, unique ingredients women need to support their efforts in the gym. It features everything you need for intense workouts and fast recovery.

"For anyone serious about building muscle and maximizing the hard efforts of our training, it’s not a question of should I take supplements but rather which supplements to take. I created the RX supplements to be everything I wished I had when I was building my physique but wasn’t available at the time."

Ingredient

Women's Stack Contains

LCLT- 2G CLINICALLY EFFECTIVE DOSAGE: 1-2g

CONTAINS 2 GRAMS G

Research suggests that L-Carnitine L-Tartrate improves muscle recovery and repair times. This is probably due to a boost in nitric oxide (NO) production, which improves blood flow and oxygen consumption in the muscles. LCLT also increases androgen receptors in the muscle cells, which means more testosterone is recruited to build muscle.

WOMEN'S STACK

If I miss a serving of 4 Women can I take it at the same time as ReconstruXion?

We don’t recommend that you mix them as the tastes are not complementary to each other. You technically can take them back to back, it won’t negate any of the effects. It’s not the best practice however and not recommended.

Do I need to take anything else if I take this?

For overall health and wellness our fish oil would be a good addition. As a preventative for joint health MECHAN-X is another good choice to add in as well. Otherwise, female athletes should have all the bases covered with this stack.

Do I need to take extra creatine?

No. One serving of X-CITE should provide the recommended dosage of creatine for a woman athlete interested in increasing her lean muscle mass.

Where are your supplements made?

All of our supplements are proudly produced in the US using the highest industry standards.

What does “clinically effective doses” mean, anyway? Isn’t it just marketing lingo?

When I set out to determine doses of ingredients, I looked to the scientific literature.

Specifically, I reviewed every well-designed, well-executed, peer-reviewed study I could find on the molecule and find the dose that confers the maximum benefits with the minimum side effects.

These doses are known as “clinically effective doses” because they are backed by scientific studies and demonstrated to produce the desired effects. Simply having an ingredient on the supplement facts panel doesn’t ensure that you’re getting enough of the ingredient to cause the desired effect.

RX-1 X-CITE

How does X-CITE compare to other popular pre-workouts?

X-CITE provides a rush of energy with no crash or jitters, whereas other pre-workouts can leave you feeling edgy and burned out.

This crash is usually caused by the type and amount of stimulants found in many pre-workouts, which are also known to cause anxiety, headaches, and stomach aches.

The only stimulant in X-CITE is a dose of caffeine similar to a small cup of Starbucks coffee.

The next thing you’ll probably notice when you take X-CITE is your workouts are significantly better than they are with other pre-workouts.

This is because each ingredient in X-CITE is backed by sound, scientific research - proving its performance benefits and included in the doses required to actually deliver on them.

We hear from first-time users every day that say they’ll never use another pre-workout again.

What type of workouts is X-CITE good for?

One of the great things about X-CITE’s formula is that it improves performance in both anaerobic and aerobic training.

Not just for weightlifting but cardio and endurance training as well. Anytime you want energy and focus to spare.

You can take it before a weightlifting workout and see benefits like increased strength and muscle endurance as well as before a cardio session and see benefits like increased intensity and endurance.

Whatever type of training you do, X-CITE is going to help you do it better.

Is X-CITE suitable for women?

Yes! One thing to consider is the dosages were calculated for an average sized male athlete. People that are smaller in size, 120lbs or less, may wish to start with ½ or ¾ of a scoop.

Why should I buy X-CITE over cheaper alternatives?

Supplementation can be a great addition to serious athletes seeking to take their gains to the next level. With that said, the supplement industry isn’t regulated the same way the Food and Drug industries are. What that means is that unscrupulous supplement companies can underdose their blends, use fillers or unproven and perhaps dangerous chemicals. All ATHLEAN-RX supplements are clinically dosed for effectiveness and composed of the safest, most trusted, and tested ingredients in the industry. They are also used by many pro athletes as well as multiple teams in Major League Baseball. Last but not least, they are the only supplement that I personally put into my body.

What does “clinically effective doses” mean, anyway? Isn’t it just marketing lingo?

When I set out to determine doses of ingredients, I looked to the scientific literature.

Specifically, I reviewed every well-designed, well-executed, peer-reviewed study I could find on the ingredient and find the dosage that confers the maximum benefits with the minimum side effects.

Where are your supplements made?

Are there any side effects I should know about?

The only side effect that sometimes surprises people is a tingling feeling, usually felt in the face.

This is a harmless side effect of CarnoSyn® Beta-Alanine called Paresthesia. It isn’t an allergic reaction or cause for concern. Some people actually enjoy the tingling sensation. Additionally, X-CITE is produced in a facility that processes peanuts, milk, eggs and wheat. Athletes with sensitivities to these foods may wish to consult with their physician before taking this product.

X-CITE is too sweet/strong tasting for me. What should I do?

All our supplements are monitored and formulated to meet the tastes of our users based on their feedback. With that said, tastes vary from individual to individual. If you find the taste too sweet or too intense simply mix in more water or use a smaller scoop until you strike the right balance for your needs.

Will I build a tolerance to X-CITE?

The only ingredient that you may build a tolerance to is caffeine. People who consume large amounts of caffeine in their diet may want to increase the dosage to 1 and ½ scoops.

Additionally you can reduce your caffeine intake on non-training days.

How many servings of X-CITE can I take in one day?

We don’t recommend more than one serving of X-CITE per day because research shows that intake shouldn’t exceed 6 milligrams of caffeine per kg of body weight per day (about 400 milligrams for the average person).

It’s also worth noting that most of caffeine’s benefits are seen in the range of 200 to 400 milligrams per day so exceeding that would derive no additional benefits.

Will any of the ingredients result in a positive urinalysis? (Military, Law Enforcement)

All ingredients are displayed on every container of every one of our supplements. Complete transparency for your peace of mind.

Is X-CITE gluten free?

Yes!

Is X-CITE GMO free?

All flavors are GMO free except for Icy Berry Blast.

Is X-CITE vegetarian friendly?

No. L-Tyrosine is produced from animal sources.

Is X-CITE vegan friendly?

No. L-Tyrosine is produced from animal sources.

RX-3 RECONSTRUXION

Is ReconstruXion suitable for women?

Yes! Women will receive the same muscle recovery benefits as men when taking ReconstruXion regularly.

Nutrition facts panels are calculated for people on a 2000 calorie diet, so people under 120lbs or following a low calorie diet may wish to use smaller servings of ReconstruXion.

What does “clinically effective doses” mean, anyway? Isn’t it just marketing lingo?

When I set out to determine doses of ingredients, I looked to the scientific literature.

Specifically, I reviewed every well-designed, well-executed, peer-reviewed study I could find on the molecule and find the dose that confers the maximum benefits with the minimum side effects.

What makes ReconstruXion so effective?

L-Glutamine is most commonly used for improving healing time following injuries or surgery. It can also help speed recovery time between training sessions due to an increase in nitrogen levels in the muscle cells which assists in protein synthesis. L-Glutamine is also recognized for boosting the immune system, increasing energy levels and helping to regulate blood sugar levels. Since ReconstruXion contains a very high clinical dose of L-Glutamine users are able to glean the desired effects of this powerful Amino Acid.

Glutamine Q&A "Pas-Fitness", New Castle, DE, 2002

Where are your supplements made?

All of our supplements are proudly produced in the US using the highest industry standards.

Are there any side effects I should know about?

ReconstruXion is produced in a facility that processes peanuts, eggs, milk and wheat. Athletes with sensitivities to these foods may wish to consult with their physician before taking this product.

ReconstruXion is too bitter for me. What should I do?

All our supplements have been monitored and formulated to meet the tastes of our users based on their feedback. However, BCAAs typically possess an extremely bitter taste profile. Leucine, which is considered to be the most effective of the three BCAAs at promoting muscle protein synthesis, is also the most bitter. As a result, the higher the leucine concentration, the more bitter and unpalatable the product becomes. If you find the taste of ReconstruXion to be too bitter, simply mix in more water. Additionally you may use a smaller scoop until you strike the perfect balance for your tastes.

How many servings of ReconstruXion can I take in one day?

We recommend using ReconstruXion once daily on training and non training days . You can take ReconstruXion after your workouts on training days or anytime on non-training days.

Is ReconstruXion gluten free?

Yes!

Is ReconstruXion GMO free?

Crisp Green Apple and Twisted Lemon Lime are both GMO free.

Is ReconstruXion vegetarian friendly?

No. L-Leucine is produced from animal products.

Is ReconstruXion vegan friendly?

No. L-Leucine is produced from animal products.

RX-4 WOMEN

What does “clinically effective doses” mean, anyway? Isn’t it just marketing lingo?

When I set out to determine doses of ingredients, I looked to the scientific literature.

Specifically, I reviewed every well-designed, well-executed, peer-reviewed study I could find on the molecule and find the dose that confers the maximum benefits with the minimum side effects.

Is 4 Women just a protein powder?

No! 4 Women contains clinical doses of a number of other ingredients specifically for female athletes. Ingredients include Calcium for strong bones. Women are often deficient in Calcium and athletes are known to lose Calcium during training. 4 Women contains 1,000 mg of high quality calcium. Vitamin D has been shown to boost athletic performance as well as possible increases in fat loss. MCT for improved endurance, Royal Jelly for Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, CoQ10 to help improve heart health and blood sugar regulation and finally Resveratrol which has been shown to help in lowering cholesterol and protecting against blood clots.

Are there any side effects I should know about?

4 Women contains both milk and egg products so people with allergies to one or both of those foods may be sensitive to taking 4 Women. Additionally, 4 Women is produced in a facility that processes peanuts and wheat. Athletes with sensitivities to these foods may wish to consult with their physician before taking this product.

Where are your supplements made?

All of our supplements are proudly produced in the US using the highest industry standards.

4 Women is too sweet for me. What should I do?

All our supplements are monitored and formulated to meet the tastes of our users based on their feedback. With that said, tastes vary from individual to individual. If you find the taste of 4 Women to be too sweet simply mix in more milk. Additionally you may use a smaller scoop until you strike the perfect balance for your tastes.

How many servings of 4 Women can I take in one day?

Since 4 Women can be used as a post workout supplement and a meal replacement you are not limited to how much you can use. With that said, here at ATHLEAN-X we recommend getting the majority of your nutrients and calories from nutritious, whole foods as outlined in our X-FACTOR meal plan. You should only be using our supplements to fill in any gaps in your nutrition plan.
