Product Inquiry:CARNIVOR

[NAIR]

So I'm thumbing through June's edition of MD and I start reading Kai Greene's section (who I fucking hate) and he's boasting a product he's a sponsor for called CARNIVOR. I’m thinking, “What the fuck is Carnivor?” Low and behold, the next page is a full two-page advertisement for the stuff. But I must admit, it aroused my interest and thus the post. Supposedly, it packs 50 grams of protein per serving with a ton of creatine (20 times the amount of a steak) loads of BCAAs, and no cholesterol. Sounds pretty good, right? They go on to discuss how, through their patented “advanced extraction, clarification, hydrolysis and isolation technologies…”, they can make such a product. You know, the same bullshit we read time and time again. But I wonder, can this stuff really be worth a shit? And if so, why the fuck eat beef at all anymore? If it’s so damn good, why not skip your steak meals and use one of these things? Kai says “I drink three a day.” Why doesn’t the ugly bastard drink 3 and eat 2 meals a day instead?

What’s your guys take on this and does anyone have experience with the product? The idea, to me, sounds very intriguing—but what sounds too good to be true…

The 50g is for the CARNIVOR SHots. I had a buddy describe the orabge flavor as an orange glazed steak!! So needless to say I was very hesitant to try it and the Fruit Punch. We were working with MuscleMeds to carry their products so I got some shots and I got the Fruit Punch and Blue Raspberry powder. I actually didn't mind the shots even though I was so hesitant to try them and with 50g protein you could do 2 servings. As far as the powder goes the Fruit Punch is better than the Blue Raspberry but as much as I tried to like them I had a hard time downing it. I figured out for it to mix you need to mix it wit ice shake it really hard let the foam dissipate and then barely shake it and you can drink it with minimal foam. However like I said I still have some and I'll use it every now and then but it was definitely not anything I loved or enjoyed and with so many other good proteins out there why suffer lol! There's my two cents.

Yeah, I can't imagine messing with the poweders, the thought really didn't even cross my mind. You're a brave soul lol. I like the idea of getting 50 grams of protien in just 4oz. Is there a product you know of that delivers that in pure form? That is, the only ingredient is protien? I use a product right now that is 25grams per scoop and I love it but I'd like it if it were more concentrated like these tintures they call carnivor

I tired the fruit punch already. It tastes OK however I am VERY picky on the taste of these powders. It mixes kinda funny. In a hand shaker with just water it foams up. So its hard to get the last little bit of the shake.

I recommend everyone to try it at least :/

ive tired both the shots and the powder....
i have to say its kinda gross man

i like the fact its not a whey type of protein, and its beef protein... but the taste really turn me off.
i tried both the fruit punch and blue rasberry.
also you can not mix with a spoon or in a shaker cup, its MUST be done in a blender or it currdles
like a whey concentrate

These protein shots are 2 oz and have 25g of protein they taste good and are very convenient. We have a couple bodybuilder customers that travel a lot for work and love these things cause they're small enough to take on the plane.

The taste thought is what kept me from buying it. Well that and that stupid thing on Kai Greene's head he calls hair. It just bothers me.
