I don't like taking 16 large pills daily. Can Muscle Synergy be crushed and added to protein drink? Is there ant time release issue?

I received a email today from Beverly Nutrition. They stated that it IS safe to crush Muscle Synergy but it would not taste very good.

I just had to try, I crushed 6 pills and added them to my protein drink. I could not taste a difference. However that was only 6 not 8 the recommended dose. It was a little gritty (if that is a word).

This will be my new method of use. Thanks Roger and Sandy. Maybe they can develop a powder form of Muscle Synergy.

the thing about arginine is that you want to take on empty stomach for best nitric oxide/gh release. taking on with a protein shake would defeat some of its purpose. the creatine and hmb would still be fine but i wouldnt take it with a protein shake. perhaps a crystal light mix to chase away some of the bitterness of arginine.

Yep, it would bind with the food sources.

oh yea!-crush 16 of them and swig them down with black coffee before going to the gym

If you have never had arginine base powder before, you are in for a real treat. Just kidding....there is a reason that Synergy is in tabs. Arginine base tastes horrible!! That is one reason why any powder product is going to have Arginine AKG - it is much more mild in the taste department ...see Uplift.

Funny story about back in the day at Beverly.

When Synergy was first being developed one of the tests was a powder version. It was so potent that he had an internal contest to first see who could smell it without gagging and then who could mix it in water and not vomit.

Steven or Roger do you remember? Do you remember the outcome?

Jeremiah,

I think I may have been there at the time. I remember Roger asking me to taste something powdered. I swigged it down without gagging and he was pretty shocked. It was either the Muscle Synergy or straight powdered caseinate. Either way it was nasty.

I think it was you, Greg who took it without gagging. I thought I'd be the only one who could drink it because I grew up on old school protein like Beverly's Egg and Gland protein, but you drank it without even making a face.

By the way, the new Creatine Select with phosphates and beta alanine is in and we are very excited about it. You can read it about it on our www.bodybuildingworld.com web page. The taste is much improved - tastes pretty much like Tang.

great cuz i never enjoyed the taste of creatine select. too slippery. not enough umphhh .. you all know i like straight glut select shots and uplift by the scoop disso;ving in mouth is the way to go...

As weird as it might sound GS is really good that way. Its like having candy or the closest thing most of us ever see to candy lol
