Maybe Recommended Having used AfterGlow on and off for about a year I've decided to review it. The first time I bought this was at a local GNC. The fact that I know the owner gets me some good deals every now and then (when he's there). And he has made some good recommendations except this time. He literally put this in my hands and tried to shove me out the door. Fine... I took it and tried it. Looking back now I can honestly say that there is no justifying the price for this product. Not even the fact that it contains 800mg of Phosphatydelserine per serving can be worth this much. You can get 500mg pills of "Phospha" from the Vitamin Shoppe. Results?...sorry but AfterGlow did not work for me. I was actually still sore for days (3 or more days is too much) after my workouts and I was also wiped out. My workouts are pretty intense and even the amount of carbs (which do give you a little kick but not enough)it has didn't help. Usually my heaviest day is Saturday and I would end up sleeping the afternoon away because I was so tired. I would just wake up and eat then go back to sleep. Although, when I woke up at around 5 or 6 I felt like a Monster but it meant my whole day was gone and how I felt had to be the rest that I got. The taste was unbelievable. I rated it 7 Overall just because of the taste. I got the Bazooka Fruit and man was I surprised. It tastes sort of like and old school candy called Now & Later. (Only an old sugar junkie would know these candies) The recommended amount of water is 12 to 16oz but I was using 20oz because of the ridiculous clumping. Don't get me wrong as a recovering "sugar-holic" those clumps brought back memories of Sweettarts, GrapeApes and the afore mentioned Now & Laters. An experience so sweet it would make your eyes cross and your lips pucker as if you just sucked on a lemon. (yeah... it's that good)There are absolutely no sides other then wanting more. Seriously, they should have marketed this under Willy Wonka's Musclebound Oompa Loompa Juice. While I was using AfterGlow all I had in supplements were 100% Whey (EAS) multivitamin (GNC) and a Vitamin C complex (Vitamin Shoppe). I work out 3 days a week which is why I have such heavy workouts and I really would like to fully recover before I get back in the Gym. If I can't recover with rest than I would like a supplement or supplements to aid in my recovery. After using other products and also mixing and matching supplements together I have come to realize that we don't have to be constrained to one "do-it-all" supplement. For the price of AfterGlow you can get a good mix of pills and powder that will go above and beyond what AfterGlow can do. This website has smart guys and smart weightlifters that I have acutally taken advice from and made up a post workout mix to my liking and guess what... it works. Soreness is about 2 days max... But I digress... if you have the money for AfterGlow and you're curious? I say go for it but if you have the money and you want results then do a little research and you can come up with a postworkout that will do the job. And if you just want to take a sweet ride to candyland... AfterGlow is the one to have. Or you can try to find Pixy Sticks empty one into your mouth and that's AfterGlow (although ridiculously cheaper)...
Pros:
Cons:
  • Clumps A Lot (not Really A Con. For Me)
  • Tastes Great
  • Too Expensive

Recommended Great product, still expensive even though I purchased it at a local franchise GNC for 75 bucks for a 4lb tub. Taste is great because it is similar to drinking a refreshing kool aid. What I also like about it is the ingredients they carry such as Cissus quad. and kre alk along with a substanital amount of BCAA's and the fact it is a fast absorbing isolate. I find this product as a higher upscale of aftershock recovery. AfterGlow did also last me a long time due to only consuming 2 scoops per post workout only. The scoops are not even that big so it just shows how potent it is. Overall, great product, great recovery, built lean muscle, reduced soreness and tastes amazing. I recommend this for sure but if you purchase it stock up on another. I definitely will consider purchasing another due to being an effective recovery product. The only bad thing was I lost a little weight but I did notice my strength increasing, body toning up alot but the fact I was losing a little weight I was not expecting. I guess it contained some properties of a fat burner which helped out but was not expecting to lose a little weight but then again I tend to fluctuate.

Recommended I do not know why I waited so long to review AfterGlow as I am on my 6th container.
Recovery is outstanding with AfterGlow. After a leg workout I usually limp around for 2 days, but not with this. Only minor soreness, and DOMS was reduced dramatically.
Taste is simply amazing. Bazooka fruit is my flavor of choice. Watermelon doesn't sit well with me, and don't waste your time with cherry bomb. Cherry tasted like a rotten egg with a dash of koolade thrown in.
Price is the downside to this product. With retailers usually selling it around $50 for the small container. I did find a store that sells it for under $40 though.
To make mine last longer I use 1 scoop AfterGlow, 1 serving of Optimum Nutrition BCAA 5000 powder, and 2 Gluta-Lyn caps. I like to think of this as my super sorness buster trifecta.

Cons:
  • Tastes Great

The bottom line is afterglow combines effectiveness with excellent flavour. It's an extra motive to train with intensity in order to taste afterglow as soon as possible.

Recommended Afterglow is the ideal post-workout supplement for. To be honest i haven't tried any other such supplements since i am totally satisfied. I train 5 days a week (Mon-Fri) after 8 hours of work and AfterGlow is the ideal product to combine muscle pumping and quick recovery. Especially after my leg training and 3 set of deadlift, AfterGlow takes no time to fight against leg soreness. The only disadvantage is it's high price but there's no doubt that it's a small "price" to pay for all the other advantages that AfterGlow combines. Last but not least, there's no doubt that watermellon flavour is THE best taste on the market.

I'm with you on the Afterglow. To make mine last longer I only use 1 scoop, but I combine it with 2 Gluta-Lyn caps and a serving of ON BCAA 5000 powder. The sweetness covers the bitterness of the BCAA nicely.

Recommended Finally got my hands on some AfterGlow (roughly 15 servings). Friend of mine was cycling off creatine and sold it to me for much below market price.

I have run all sorts of recovery drinks. (Aftershock, Torrent, 2:1:1). Currently I prefer Aftershock, but wanted to give this a fair shake.

How I ran it: I was skeptical on the ingredients due to only 20g of WPI and 36g of carbs. Ran this along side Gluta-lyn and the standard Kre-Alkalyn cycle. Also supplemented 10g of additional hydrowhey about 30 minutes after AfterGlow.

Effectiveness 10+: Recovery was amazing. Love the 2:1 ratio. Better than aftershock and 2:1:1. Can't think of a better product. Most notably on Leg split. Soreness is reduced. I think it can be attributed to the 2:1 ratio and a new ingredient that I wasn't too familiar with (phosphatidylserine 800mg). This ingredient is very expensive and reduces cortisol making it anti-catabolic. This had to be the item that makes this product work better than the other recovery drinks.

Taste 10+: All I can say is wow. The watermelon flavor is great. I thought tropical typhoon of Aftershock tastes great, well AfterGlow makes that taste like motor oil.

Value/Price 6: This is the huge and only downfall. Even with the great effectiveness, it can not be justified with the high price tag. Even with the phosphatidylserine in it (which adds about $30 per tub). I hope BioRhythm has the smarts to drop the price to more reasonable.

Conclusion 8.5: Overall I was really impressed with the results, however the price is a huge hurdle and one that can't be overlooked. My recommendation, if money is no object, check this out. Even if you don't use it as part of your standard cycle. Otherwise, Aftershock is a good alternative that provide close results.
Pros:
Cons:
  • 2:1 Ratio
  • Builds Muscle
  • Tastes Great
  • Reduces Soreness
  • Great For Recovery
  • Uses Real Sugar(not Artifical)
  • Too Expensive

I am not sure how much you paid for this, but performance nutrition has the best price I have found. I don't think they can sell it online, but you can call them and order it. I am on my 6th tub. Not sure why I haven't reviewed it yet.

Recommended I really cant express how much I love this stuff. I wrote a review on aftershock a while back and while it too was amazing, I felt that it made you use to much in one serving and it didnt quite have everything I was looking for. So AfterGlow was reccommended instead by my local supplement dealer in Fayetteville, nc who is an absolute stud. Albeit being skeptical on the carb to preotein ratio I gave it a try and believe me, I am glad I did. Aside from the taste and having to use only 2 scoops, I recovered faster, built up my endurance quicker, and my strength gains and body fat comp were very surprising. I will post stats below. I also had a recent minor rupture in my pec major and 4 weeks into the rehab cycle, along with the other supps I am takin, this has helped my recovery immensly and I am 3 weeks ahead of schedule in terms of strength. I fully endorse this protein as THE best on the market hands down. No other comes close. As for the Carb to Protein ratio, my fix that has been awesome is I put about a half scoop of Protein Isolate in with it to give it an extra 10 grams. Works awesome. Value is never a rea concern because I am a firm believer in if it works as good as it says it does, price should never be an option.
Pros:
Cons:
  • Builds Endurance
  • Uses Real Sugar(not Artifical)
  • Great For Recovery
  • Reduces Soreness
  • Tastes Great
  • Builds Muscle
  • Great Rehab Drink
  • Enhances Strength
  • Has A Hefty Carb To Protein Ratio (30c To 20 P)
  • Clumps A Little
  • Too Expensive

Have you tried Myogenix Aftershock? It is a very similar product for about a third the cost?

Yea, I have treid it. I also did a review for it awhile back. My main complaint with aftershock was that it was 3 scoops per serving and didnt last long. Also it didnt have near the goodies this one does hence the price difference. Good protein, I just like this one better.

Recommended I stared using AfterGlow about 6 months ago and i buy a new one every 2 weeks because this stuff is simply the best. i started out at about 150 pounds now im at 183. not only that this stuff tastes incredible, it tastesd like a fruit punch drink to me. it uses unrefined sugar so thats better, it has 1370 mg's of potassium, 20 grams protein, it has grape seed extract and it uses phosphatidylserine which basically shoprtens your recovery time. so to sum it up this is the greatest protein on the market if you ask me!

Recommended AfterGlow is the best recovery product that i have ever use. Watermelon is by far the greatest's taste. New users should see results within 2 weeks. It reduces soreness and increases strength during workouts. One scoop after workout is enough to recover your lost energy.
