"well i know it's not meant to be drunk for taste, it's drunk for the things in it (which are really good to be fair) but still, could the taste not be improved at all?! what is in it is perfect, all i could want from a recovery product, but the taste is rancid. otherwise another great product from My Protein, i've had reasonable gains after not even a whole week.. maybe more could be invested in flavourings though guys...?"

"i have taken supplements for 12 years as a professional fighter. after reading the reviews on this product here are my true thoughts\n\nbad.. i agree that the inclusion of creatine is a problem if regularly using this product as it ruins your "off" period and could quite easily be added yourself\n\ngood.. this product is without competition the best post workout shake i have used. it is perfect (bar the creatine!)\nalso it "IS" very cost affective! i used to add malterdextrine to a whey isolate and concentrate mix and sometimes add creatine and drink an elecolyte drink and take 500mg vit c tablet in addittion after training! this drink has the lot and more (using arguably a better simple sugar than malterdextrine) and believe me, buying all the above seperately is ALOT more expensive than buying this product no matter where you scorce your supplements! \n\ni still rate this product very highly indeed, infact 1 of my favorite all time seriously, but would give it maximum stars if the creatine was left to us to add of our own accord!"

"firstly i got to say, damn this stuff tastes rough! (strawberry) but we dont eat for taste we eat for results, and as for results its fantastic. good times."

"got a bag of XS yesterday, tried it last night and i have to say the taste it is rank rotten!!!! hopefully it will make a difference to my training!!"

"Bin using product for a month and strength has gone up and hav put sum gud size on,only draw back is that the days I take the product I'm constantly goin to the bog for regular squirts!jus wana know if any1 else is havin saqme problem?"

"Downed a serving after HIIT running and swimming and felt replenished, normally feel drained afterwards, this stuff is really good, even better wiv added amino acids, well done MP!"

Just 1 note. It's really kind of annoying that they've added creatine to it. I'm now on an off phase for creatine and so can't take this again for 2 weeks.

"If you want a product that works, then this is it. My recovery time has been cut quite dramatically and i hardly ache at all by the second day.\nIgnoring the "perfect ratio" of the products and all that, the products themselves are nowhere near as expensive individually as they are together with this. So bottom line, it works very well. But for the products you're getting it's expensive. If you take 90g of it a day, you're paying £20 for 20 days worth. Regardless it works well, so i will probably buy some more with my next purchase from Myprotein."

"Hey \n\nI did use XL Synthesis from another supplier until I was told that recovery XS is the same product by the same manufacture! It has similar amounts of whey protein, waxy maize starch and leucine etc but the taste is a world apart in the favour of the Synthesis so I dont think this is true. \n\nAs a result of this I started to mix with milk and my body fat went north of 20% and up to 130kg. I am still using this product but using water and I an back under 125kg and 20% body fat. \n\nMy only dilemma is the Synthesis works out at £23.25 per KG Vs £11.62 per KG based on a 2 month supply for me.\n\nPS DO NOT USE ParcelFarse aka ParcelForce twice they have bashed my parcel, select the other option. \n\nAlex\n\n"

"Only 4 stars as first day of using today (bound to be 5 stars!), but wanted to post a quick review of initial thoughts. \nI'm a long-time repeat MP customer, as is normal this product mixed and tasted great, coupled with a theroretically near-perfect blend of post-workout supplements I'm looking forward to reaping the rewards (coupled this with pre-workout 'Total protein'...also great!) convenience in a resealable pouch...cheers"
