GNC SuperFood Supreme Review Day One

 

I am an ordinary everyday person and this is my review of GNC Super Food Supreme. I am in no way affiliated with this company or any other. I am also not affiliated with the medical community.

I had seen this product in my local (by local I mean 55 miles away) and I thought what the heck I’ll do some research and see what it’s all about. I searched the GNC site and Amazon for reviews. All the reviews were good. The energy boost the health benefits, and on and on. Energy is a myth in my mind, the only energy I know about these days is in the form of caffeine and diet sodas. The only negative review was the flavor; apparently they “improved” the formula and changed the flavor.  Some said it wasn’t that bad, others say it’s horrible. We shall see.  

My first mistake was ordering online. While the shipping was only $1, much less than what it would have cost to drive 55 miles and brave the mall to actually go to the GNC store, FedEx takes forever. It took a total of 11 days for the package to arrive. That’s right 11 days, in my opinion that is way too long.  

 These are the claims on the original packaging:

• More antioxidant capacity than 13 standard servings of fruits and vegetables
• Provides more than 70 nutrient – and antioxidant-rich super foods
• Loaded with 5 grams of dietary fiber, digestive enzymes, super fruits, greens and antioxidants for optimal energy

This powerful formula blends ingredients that together provide more antioxidant capacity than 13 standard servings of fruits and vegetables. With an assortment of ingredients and important nutrients derived from more than 70 of the best super foods nature has to offer, each serving of SuperFoods Supreme can help you fill your nutritional gaps and support good health. SuperFoods Supreme gives you a hearty helping of key phytonutrients in every easy-to-mix, great-tasting serving.

 

Day 1:

10:00 am So after receiving the package (finally) and reading all the reviews about the flavor and texture I was kind of scared. Scared of the flavor, some say very good some say very bad. I prepared it according to directions. One scoop in 8 ouches of water, mixed it in the blender to remove any lumps and drank. And all I can say is YUCK!!!  It’s awful but mixed in the blender the texture was smooth. The sweet berry flavor is not enough to cover the vitamin taste. But that’s ok, if  the claims are right and truthful and there is a significant energy boost I can tolerate the taste.                                                                 

11:00 am I had another idea on mixing. I usually start my day with a glass of Spark Energy Drink, also a mixable powder. But hey it works and there’s no crash so it’s a good choice if you must have that morning boost. I didn’t think it would hurt to have another serving this morning especially since the container states that a person can have up to 4 scoops a day. That would be very expensive. I mixed both powders in about 10 ounces of water and blended, took a deep breath and drank. It was better but still kind of yucky. We’ll just have to see what happens to see if there are any real benefits to drinking this stuff.

10:46 pm Well its about an hour and 45 minutes past my bed time and I feel like crap. But I always feel like crap. Could be because I weigh nearly 200 pounds, and could also be because over the course of the day I have had 1 energy drink, 3 diet Dr Peppers and 1 Red Bull. I think it has nothing to do with the SuperFood.  My energy level is so low that nothing seems to help. Tomorrow is another day, maybe I'll feel better in the morning. I have been taking Benedryl at night to take some of the edge off of the anxiety that I feel in the day and in all honesty I do have allergies. But I'm not taking one tonight. I have a feeling I'm not going to sleep much. OK off to bed I go I'll be back here tomorrow.
