I was walking around a nearby mall and found a supplement that is new to my eyes; Promatrix 7. It wasn't really that noticeable if people weren't lining up to buy it. Just when I was about to purchase my favorite supplement brand, I was a bit curious and decided to give this protein powder a good look.
Considering the price, this protein powder is prone to scrutiny. While other protein powders cost around Php2500-3500 per 5 lbs, Promatrix 7 costs roughly 1,600 Pesos for a 5 pound bag. Though it doesn't come in a tub and is just packed in a resealable bag, it is still a big difference. So, is this a shabby supplement?
Their website comes with a short statement comparing whey protein to Promatrix 7.
PROMATRIX 7 VS ORDINARY WHEY PROTEIN
Ordinary Whey Protein, though quickly absorbed into the blood stream causing an anabolic effect, their effects are short-lived as the blood amino acid levels of whey only last for a short period of time. PROMATRIX 7 proprietary protein blend contains more of the biologically active protein fractions not found in whey isolates alone and offers a protein combination found to be responsible for short and long-acting anabolic and anti-catabolic properties necessary for growth and repair.
To settle it once and for a while, we decided to give this protein powder a try and here are our observations:
Taste - Other chocolate-flavored protein powders are rich in chocolate flavor, Promatrix 7 tastes a bit like soy milk with a little chocolate.
Price - At 1,600 Pesos, what would you expect? Being a fan of premium supplements, I would hate to say that I personally love it. I never felt weak and my lifts were consistent like before, when I was using a high-end protein powder (which I will probably review soon too).
Protein Content - While it isn't as pure as other protein powders, it is worth it for the price. I can easily chug 2 scoops of Promatrix 7 after I work out at the cost of 1 scoop from other brands. Another big advantage is its slow release; 42 grams of protein could keep you building muscle for 7 hours aside from your whole food meals.
The Verdict
I would personally suggest people to use this supplement if they are on a tight budget. For me, it worked wonders when I took it with Power Pro and Nutratosterone. A good pre-workout and high levels of testosterone could help the proteins in this supplement be absorbed better by the body.

Lipitrex - Scam or Not?
The product Lipitrex claims to offer a unique “4-in-1″ approach to weight loss. Lipitrex comes in the form of a capsule and is manufactured by Progressive Health Nutraceuticals. The four elements of the Lipitrex approach are: 1) appetite control, 2) minimize the storage of fat, 3) boost metabolic rate and 4) enhance energy levels. Sounds great if it works! When taking Lipitrex, take two capsules in the morning and two in the evening, along with 8 ounces of water. Optimal results should appear within 45 to 60 days of following your normal routine. The manufacturer of Lipitrex sells a one month supply for the product for $74.95, then offers discounts for users wishing to buy a multiple-month supply.
The official Lipitrex website does offer helpful user testimonials, as well as a useful general guide to the negative health effects of obesity. It also offers a complete list of ingredients for Lipitrex, and explains how these ingredients are intended to facilitate one of the four crucial aspects of weight-loss. Users who buy either the three or six month Lipitrex package also receive Progressive Health’s weight loss manual, The Personal Training System, as a free gift. Though we have not seen a copy for ourselves, this books claims to offer advice on everything form nutritional planning and weight loss myths to motivational techniques and exercise routines.
List of Ingredients
The full list of ingredients found in Lipitrex is: Magnesium Oxide, Chromium Polynicotinate, Green Tea Extract, Coleus Forskohlii, PinnoThin, CLA, Citrius Aurantium Extract, Guarana Extract, Caffeine.
Product Features
We were disturbed by the inclusion of CLA in Lipitrex. While it has shown some potential benefits as a glucose blocker, it may also alter the body’s ability to process insulin. CLA, which stands for conjugated linoleic acid, has been shown to reduce the body’s amount of cortisol, which specifically targets belly fat. Belly fat is one of the last fats that the body burns while exercising, making this appealing. However, CLA may also change the body’s insulin intake capabilities, which could ultimately lead to diabetes. We’ve found many animal lab tests on this product, but few involving human subjects, and we’d like to see more research.
Overall, we think that this supplement wouldn't produce that much results. It is too good to be true.
