Bugs Recommended Product Review: Prolabs N-Large 2

Prolabs N-Large 2
It’s that time again, to share the goodness with you all! I always do get asked about products that I have tried or tested, and I will continue to share whenever I do. I actually started to use this product back in July, but I didn’t want to post anything about it until a few weeks had passed so that I could give a worthy verdict.
Product: N-Large 2 by Prolab (Monster supplement)
Focus: High Protein Gainer
MSRP: $23.99 for a 3.8lb (pounds) container (view the flavours and cheap supplement prices here)
Available: Online
Remember
Always aim for a good diet before beginning to take ANY supplement!
Why?
Because no supplement can be a replacement for a bad diet!
Just like cod liver oil, it can give the body any nutrients that it maybe lacking in, but it will not fix a bad diet. Get that in order first. If you want a good starter, check Bugs killer foods for fitness.
Many of you may have heard of or even tried N-Large 2, but for the purpose of those that are in the stayfitbug.com community on and offline and who have been asking, here is my verdict.
Now to begin with, I only decided to put this product to the test while I wait for newer product samples to arrive. They should be on their way in the coming weeks so keep your eyes pealed for some fresh recommendations.
N-Large 2 has gotten a lot of praise since it has been around, and after using it for 6 weeks, I can see why.
It works!
One of the key things I look for when trying these supplements is that they have to at least taste good, and this does taste pretty good for a supplement. If your supplement doesn’t have a good taste, then I really don’t see the point in taking it. That would be like voluntarily taking a disgusting tasting medicine… something you would not do. If you are, then stop!
N-Large 2 comes in 3 flavours
- Strawberry
- Chocolate
- Vanilla
I took the vanilla flavour, as that tends to taste good in most food variations.
It’s all pretty simple to make,
1) Mix
2) Stick it in a blender (recommended)
3) Drink
That’s all but a 2-minute job, so there is no messing about. If you want you can make your own mixes, but I just stuck to the instructions on the pack. For those 6 weeks I drank it 4 times a day along with my usual meals, but 3 times a day is what the average person should take for this to start to work and show results.
In the first 4 weeks of using this, I gained a whooping 14 POUNDS! (ONE WHOLE STONE). For myself, that is a great weight increase and a boost in the levels of proteins that my body needs. To be specific on the amount of calories I would consume daily, it was approximately 1900 calories (4 servings). It sounds like a lot, but keep in mind that I would be burning a lot of calories during my workouts, and taking a shake of this stuff after a workout would help replace those calories that I had lost.
Just like my other supplement review over at recommended products, this one also gave me no side affects. Quite often supplements like these can leave you feeling bloated (a horrible feeling), but that was not the case here.
My only problem with taking N- Large 2 is that if you decide to take it, you must keep on taking it. If you stop then all that weight and muscle you put on will just start to disappear, even if you maintain your workout schedule (which I noticed around week 7). So make sure you start as you mean to go on whether it is once a day or 4 times a day.
All is good and well here, and as I stated. It works! If you decide to give it a try, then,
1) Go for the Vanilla flavour
2) Take it in moderation
3) Start off with the 3.8 lb container. (Should last you around 2-3 weeks)
See you on the next review.

Hi Ali
First of all, how often do you intend to workout? More than once a week for the long term?

If only training once a week, your weightlifting goals won’t be to intense. I’m guessing that you just want to keep a fit body and not focus too much on building muscle mass. If so then you won’t need to take many supplements, if any. If you do increase your workout activity to 3 or more days a week, then follow the above as a start.
so wht u suggest shall i leave this product or shall another one?

Give this product a try I’d say. If it’s worked well for me there’s no reason why it wouldn’t work well for you.
