Rippedcore
is supposed to be used as a postworkout whist cutting. The protein is the same
formula as can be found in their GRS 9HR shake – we have previously reviewed
that product and really liked it so right away I know the foundation of this product is quality. As it’s a postworkout there are fast acting
carbs included to aid in recovery and growth but they haven't gone overboard with them to keep the calorie count manageable.
The extras included are Creatine in the
standard 5g dose, MCT Oil & Chromium are both useful for fat loss and ZMA
is a great aid for muscle maintenance.
On paper it looks like a strong formula.
Taste
I used the Chocolate flavour for this
review and it wasn’t quite to my taste but others in the team enjoyed it. It
always mixed up smooth and wasn’t gritty unless you left it overnight. It doesn’t
have an aftertaste either.
Side
Effects
None
Price
£59.99 for a 2.1kg tub which has 30
servings in.
Results
Sci-MX are very reliable for churning out
top quality products. I don’t think I’ve had one from them yet that
disappointed. This is no exception, its very well made with well thought-out
and precisely dosed ingredients. The protein that they use is a good mix of
fast and slow proteins to not only aid recovery but also keep hunger pains at
bay. Surprisingly there isn't a dedicated fat burner included but rather
Sci-MX have chosen to focus on recovery and muscle maintenance during the diet
than direct fat loss. In my opinion that is the right way to do it, Sci-MX have
got it right!
The chocolate flavour isn’t their best but I’m
confident that the Strawberry or Vanilla would be delicious. As usual Sci-MX
products come with a hefty price tag - £2 a serving! If you were to run the
recommended 2 shakes a day then you would run out in 15 days! I recommend only
using this postworkout if you choose to buy it, then it’ll last much longer and
you can stock up with a cheaper casein or whey for your daily needs. The only
drawback to this product is the price tag, if you can justify that then this
would absolutely make an excellent choice whilst dieting. 8.5/10
