Cytodyne Methoxy Pro Review

There's a lot of hype and media around Methoxy Pro, being touted 'the biggest break through in bodybuilding supplements.' Is it really that great? Let's find out.

We all know Cytodyne is a pretty good company with some solid, high quality supplement products - most notably, Xenadrine RFA-1 and EFX, and like Xenadrine, Methoxy Pro is another big hit among bodybuilders. If you read our price shopper's protein powders comparison guide, you'll see that Methoxy Pro is the most expensive (by proteins) of the protein powders compared.

All these proteins have "proprietary" formulas, as they claim, so it's hard to say which is the best, and since protein is what you're after, the best comparison is based on protein content.

Cytodyne Methoxy Pro - The Details

Let's take a quick look at what's in a serving: 130 calories, 4g carbs, and 23g of protein - all in all, pretty standard, and nothing spectacular. What really stands out is the use of two very anabolic (muscle building) compounds: Ipriflavone and Methoxyisoflavone, and the blend of amino acids Cytodyne has added into Methoxy Pro which include: Glutamine, Taurine, Glycine, Arginine, Phenylalanine etc...

Ipriflavone and Methoxyisoflavone were discovered in the 70's by Chinoin, a respected Hungarian company. Ipriflavone helps move nutrients into muscle tissues, and reduce body fat levels. It also enhance protein synthesis and nitrogen retention

Methoxyisoflavone is shown to be even more anabolic than Ipriflavone. Clinical trials had shown that it reduced cortisol levels, increase protein synthesis, and nitrogen retention, helping speed up recovery, and leading to greater muscle and strength gains.

A host of amino acids are also added. These amino acids help enhance the effects of anabolism such as Glutamine, Taurine, Arginine, etc... I won't go in detail about each, but you can read a whole article about Glutamine here.

MethoxyPro Taste Test

On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd have to only give it a 6, maybe 6.5. It's not going to be the best tasting protein supplement you taste. This is very much a performance targeted protein supplement, and there are very few 'filler' ingredients to make it taste good. If you want something that tastes good, this isn't for you. I didn't enjoy the taste all that much, and many others will attest to that as well - but it doesn't taste horrid or anything...

Price-wise, Cytodyne Methoxy Pro isn't the cheapest. At retail, a 2lb bucket costs you around $55 to $60 bucks, which is pretty expensive. Follow the link bellow, and you can save yourself some money.
