This is a slow digesting protein shake that isn’t just for night time use. It actually makes a very good breakfast shake when dieting because of the slow digesting nature of the proteins it will keep you satisfied for quite a few hours, not quite 9 Hours but at least 3-4 hours.

The protein itself is made up of Whey, Soya and Milk Proteins along with a healthy serving of BCAA and Glutamine. It’s a good build but a little shy on carbs to make it a good post workout choice, good for pretty much every other time of day though. Sci-MX always put a good helping of Vitamins in there products which makes them even better for you.

Taste
I had the Banana flavour and it is amazing. It tastes really good, you could serve it over ice in a glass and no-one would know it’s not a milkshake. It mixes beautifully in a standard shaker with no lumps or grit.

Side effects
None

Price
£35.99 for a 1kg tub which has 18 servings in.

Results
GRS 9 Hour is at its best when its used to keep away hunger pains. It would be an excellent protein choice for a low calorie cutting cycle you could easily have this as a breakfast and not worry about food again until lunch. I was on a high calorie diet at the time so mostly used it between meals and it kept me content every time, I never found myself hungry or looking for a sweet snack. The banana flavour is so good that it almost acts as a treat so you have no need to fall off the diet wagon.

It could be used as a night time shake to keep your muscles fed and prevent catabolism and whilst it is recommend as Post Workout shake I wouldn’t use it as one because I like a lot more fast acting carbs in my Post Workout shake to speed up recovery and growth.

It’s a little bit pricey but Sci-MX often have good offers on their site and it pays to shop around for a bargain. GRS 9 Hour is a delicious way to keep your muscles fed and growing throughout the day. 9/10
