$3.00 | | Purchased At: | 7-11 | | Strengths: | It supplies a bit of a boost and aids sore muscles recover. | | Weaknesses: | Tastes mediocre as does ANY supplement for exercise | | Similar Products Used: | Spirutein | | Bike Setup: | actually not a biker but a runner and train muscles with weights | | Bottom Line: | I don't understand why no one has actually explained how the product is in terms of effectiveness. It seems that the only concern here is flavour... Not if the product actually works.
Every supplement has an odd taste about it. Just as all alcholic beverages taste horrible and we say the more bearable ones "taste good". Am I not right?
I don't mind eating any of these bars. If it tasted like mouse piss I could care less. (maybe not that far).
The point here is that it does or doesn't work.
So I've used these after some circuit training and found my recovery slightly better than using spirutein.
Can someone give me an opinion about the effectiveness of this product instead of what it tastes like?
THANKS

I order these things in the States and have them shipped over to me here in Germany where I am working. I'm one of the whacks who absolutely love these things. I literally could live on these and I love all the flavors. I started using them out as a supplement when I was doing lots of bodybuilding. They were great for that and I tried a ton of other meal replacement type bars. Then I seriously started mountain biking and I decided to stick with these. They do the trick for me on long rides, and as long as I have some water nearby, I can throw these down like any other, much more fattening candy bar. Only problem in my opinion is their cost. If you're eating two or three of these a day as I am (still into bodybuilding) the cost tends to run up quickly. I've spend thousands of dollars on these things already. My only gripe is their price.

Forget the taste. Keep plenty of water handy. These bars are dry and you really have to chew. The flip side is that that they are filling and are a good meal replacement out on the trail. The fudge is not too good, the cookie dough much better (still dry) and I have yet to try the peanutbutter. Also, they do not have a chocolate type of coating and do not melt with the first hint of heat. For fast energy, I prefer Cliff-Shot but when I stop and rest on a long day ride one bar and a bananna make a mighty filling energy-lifting meal. 4 stars since the taste is secondary to the function. It would get 5 if it wasn't so dry. | | Overall Rating: |

MetRx bars do have an unusual taste. Maybe I'm perverted, but I kind of like them. Of the flavors, the vanilla is probably the best, although choc chip isn't bad either. The brownie ones are pretty bad... For good taste, these have to be fresh. Try a GNC or health food store that has rapid turn-over. You can't beat the carbs/protein mix, though.
