I GOT IT TODAY!! I will be logging all the necessary requirements, either tomorrow or Saturday..as I am just recovering from my illness that I got from my wife.. =/...
I think a lot of people are gonna like the ingredients list when they see it. I'll let ya know about the flavor and what not when I get back from the gym in a few hours...
..with that said...the ingredient profile looks SOLID!! It looks very, very promising and something I would buy on ingredients alone...I'll, again, log the necessary requirements ASAP!
Thanks Universal, J-Dawg and Enforcer!

I'm just around the corner in southern CT.
Soon as I get mine in I'll give it a try and post asap

Sorry bro, that cannot be discussed..please see J-Dawg's instructions below...What I can tell you though, is that the ingredient profile is as SOLID as they come! Based on the profile alone, I will buy..I have yet to taste, but will do so in the near future..and you'll see my feedback on this thread soon...

I got mine today to J. I would have used it but they didn't tell me it was here or it got here while I was at the gym. One of the two so I'll be using it tomorrow.
I agree that this looks incredibly promising and is not at all what I expected. I again am honored that Universal chose me to beta test this product.
Feedback forthcoming after tomorrow.

The ingriedients are solid....really looking forward to trying this as soon as it comes in.
It's good stuff. No idea how to put it, tastes like it has a lot of substance..."thick" I guess but tastes smooth at the same time. Maybe like a thick cotton candy in drink form, or maybe I'm retarded. Either way, it was pretty good and there's no problem downing it. I used a little under 20 oz for about a scoop, maybe a little over a scoop. I'll try less water tomorrow.

partly yes. Mainly I would like to know when it will be revealed to us what it is.
...my last response was more or less sarcastic. All the "good" information about the product itself will be revealed sometime after everyone's finished their tub and probably after they start production. My guess is it'll be between a couple weeks and maybe 2 months max.

Are you allowed to discuss flavors? Cause I'm curious if Universal would actually release a cotton candy flavored supp. haha.
Was it easy enough to mix? Sometimes I have a problem with things not mixing properly.
I cant wait to see the ingredients list if everyone is agreeing that its killer!
Nope, flavor's a secret for now. Mixed pretty easily for me.

First serving reactions...
Mix... it mixes straight up. No issues here. A lot of supplements out there are like flavored sand. You add the liquid and shake and shake and shake and they basically will never mix. You have to shake and drink quick and then it all settles to the bottom again. When your are ready for your next swig, you have to shake again then drink quick. Those of you who have tried a lot of other company supplements know what I'm talking about.
This stuff mixed right up with very minimal shaking and stayed mixed quite well. I left it sit a while between swigs and didn't notice much settling at all. Very little. You could remix it it without even having to put the lid back on by simply swishing it around a go.
So I give it high scores already on the mix-ability...
Taste... Hoomie likes :) It has a very smooth flavor and it is not over powering. I don't like when the taste is so dang strong that you have to mix a serving with a gallon of water to dilute the flavor. Some of the other really good supplements are that way. This product has a mild flavor that is not so darn strong and tart that it will upset your stomach. That last point is important for reasons I don't think I can say right now...
The flavor indeed matches what it is listed as. Not bad at all. Quite good. I give it a good rating on flavor so far. 2 more servings to evaluate yet and you know how that is. Your tastes adapt/change as you use a product.
Texture... Different. I'm not decided yet what I think of it. It's almost creamy? Same reaction I've had to another supplement. I cannot comment further on that but have input I could give you guys via PM if you want it? It is definitely smooth with no grit or bad after taste.
More to come.

Took my first serving this afternoon.
Taste- The taste is good, I like it. It tastes like the flavor it is supposed to, and it is not too strong or too weak, but rather just about right. This stuff also has a "light" taste to it, I guess you could say that it's refreshing. It isn't "heavy" or too filling, goes down easy.
Digestibility- No problems here. It went down easy, and didn't upset my stomach or anything. Again, it was light and refreshing.
Mouthfeel- It was very smooth, somewhat creamy or milky, again without feeling too thick or heavy. Mixed pretty much perfectly, no clumps or anything. No need to reshake either, it mixed up right the first time, and this was in a basic shaker cup without any kind of screen or blades or anything. Honestly it has some of if not the best mixability I've ever seen.
This is going to be some good stuff boys and girls.
ok Just got a little time to myself so I could sit down and post my review on Mixability, drinkability and taste. I haven't read anyone elses posts yet so sorry if I am just repeating something.
It mixed perfect. 16 Ounces water. A few shakes and it was mixed.
It went down smooth. Didn't have any problems. Digested just fine and kicked in quick. We know what makes that happen. Didn't feel too heavy at all. No bloating feeling.
The taste was.......decent. It tasted really creamy and I know exactly what made it taste that way. If you guys made the flavor just a little more tart it would over run that. It's sweet enough, just needs that tartness to overpower the creaminess. I may just be weird though, other people might not mind it.
Can't wait til I am allowed to give more details on how it went. So far it seems to me like it is one damn solid product.

Hey guys, I've tried the new Supp twice already, so I have some feedback to give. Now, I just want to be honest. Universal has great products, so if I'm critical, it's because I want to give you feedback that is constructive...no bullshit.
Mixibility: Wow. That mixed fast and easy. Easier than any products that I've tried, like xtend, PW, white flood...etc.
Taste: I thought that the taste was very good, with a great choice of flavor. However, I thought that it was a weak flavor. I think it could be a little bit stronger in 16oz of water. The after taste is really good tho, I must say.
Texture: When I first mixed it, I thought the texture was a little odd. It has a slight powdery feel to it. By no means is that a bad thing, but it reminds me of milk when I look and drink it. I got used to it, but it's definitely unusual at first.
Effects: I used it during a training session, and a cardio session. In all honesty, I had no motivation going into these 2 workouts...maybe bc I kicked my ass the entire week, but I seemed to get through the sets without a problem. I had a sustained energy.

This is a good review, informative. Good post
thank you sir ;)
Finished today, used just about 16 oz and was probably the best for me.
-mixes perfectly, end of story.
-really smooth, goes down and I have to disagree with one of the previous comments... I felt there was no aftertaste at all, which is usually a good thing.
-I didn't think about it before, but after someone mentioned it I suppose I wouldn't mind the taste being a bit stronger, it's a good one so there's no need to keep it so mild, if it was intentional. But still, it's only taste - it goes down great and the formula is solid so either way I think it's good enough to put into production.
Thanks again guys.

So I took my first serving today and my review on the following criterias: Taste, Mixability, Digestibility and Mouthfeel. I will add Texture to this review.
I will rate it 1-10, 10 being the best/highest rating and 1 being the lowest/worst, etc.
Taste: 7/10 - It tasted exactly what it should have. As one said (nrk), it could be a bit stronger. But I think the texture threw it off a bit..I will delve into that in a bit..
Digestibility: 10/10 - It didn't cause any cramps or caused me to stop and run to the bathroom..it was great in this category.
Mixability: 10/10 - Mixed easily and perfectly. No more needs to be said.
Mouthfeel: 9/10 - Easy to drink..enough said.
Texture: 6/10 - I think this is where it could be better. As many have already said, it's a bit "creamy", which is a bit unusual at first..I would like it better if it were more "smooth"/"fluid"/"light"..
I will comment more on it and the effects a bit more tomorrow when i will take my second serving and hopefully "upgrade" some of the reviews..
BiG in NYC 823
06-09-08, 8:46 am
Taste: 8/10 - Tasted MUCH better today..maybe I'm getting used to it, or maybe b/c I used a bit less water..therefore the taste was a bit stronger..
Digestibility: 10/10 - No cramps, no bloat...great!
Mixability: 10/10 - Mixed easily and perfectly. No more needs to be said.
Mouthfeel: 10/10 - Easy to drink..enough said.
Texture: 7/10 - Still a bit weird to me, but this time around, it was much better..guess b/c I knew what to expect, and maybe that is why it went down easier and "smoother."
Overall, much better! Will comment more about it tomorrow, for what should be my last serving. =(

Okay.. gave this stuff its first try the other night...
Mixes easily.. and stays that way. Not a drink you have to give yourself a delt workout trying to get to dissolve in your shaker.
Taste is different... I believe others have already said it was ... milky. Which took a little getting used to. The other taste was very weak... I would increase that a little. I mixed it with 15 oz of water.... I'll try 12 today, and see what difference it makes.
The stuff digested fine, no bloating.. no cramps.. no fast exit.
Seemed like my energy and strength were good even though I was working out at 1am after working all day. The ingredient list on this stuff is ... full. :)
I'll write more after I finish the container tommorrow.. but so far other the a little weak on the flavor.. I would say you have a winner.

OK serving 2 was Saturday...
My reaction was the same as what I already said.
Flavor... To further it, I would like the taste to be maybe just a little bit stronger but not much. A lot of supplements are too strongly flavored IMO and this one goes the other way being just a little weak. The flavor is spot on, just could use a tad more.
Mix... It's perfect guys, best mixing supplement I've seen to date. Change nothing here...
Texture... After serving 2 I'm still not crazy about it. I could use it with no issues but due to the "creamy/milky" consistency of it I found myself having to make myself pick it up and drink it rather than craving it like I do other supplements of similar nature. I'm still undecided and right in the middle on the texture.
Function... As far as doing what it is supposed to do, it's spot on man. Change nothing in the active formula.
Digestibility... No issues with either serving.
Tomorrow will be my last serving.
I like this product. All points positive except the texture on which I am still on the fence. To help with that. Universal has another product with similar texture and I have commented about it but no one else seems to have noticed it. I gave the exact details of this feedback to U-Rep and J-Dawg via PM. That other supplement I am talking about I actually like being that way, creamy. With this one, due to the nature of what it is, I'm not sure as I tend to like a more clear/wet/watery mix during this time of use.

I think you are right on with this comment/critique Hoom...though I have to be honest that with today's workout, i found it to be "okay" and i had no problems with it. I will be better opinionated with tomorrow's workout, if I feel the same.

Serving 2 was tonight. All in all it was pretty much the same as the first time, although I did notice a new thing or two, as noted below.
Taste- Tasted just as good as last time. This time I noticed a somewhat salty flavor, kinda tangy. Not overpowering or anything, but definitely there. It isn't bad though, I like it, and it adds to the flavor nicely.
Digestibility- Again, no problems here, went down nice and easy.
Mouthfeel- Felt about the same, smooth and sorta creamy/milky.
I'm looking forward to this stuff hitting the shelves.

Alright today was my first day trying out the new supp. Here goes:
Mixability: Like everyone else has said the mixability is great. I had no problems, and I don't even use a shaker bottle. 10/10
Digestibility: Felt a little odd in my stomach at first, but it was no big deal and probably will just take a day or so to get used to. No bloating, which was very important for this type of product. 8/10
Texture: I LOVED the texture. Different from any other product I've tried, but in a good way. I'm not sure if it will catch on with everyone, but I personally thought it was great. 10/10
Mouthfeel: It felt like watered down milk or something, but I personally liked it. 10/10
Taste: I'd call it sweet-salty. I'd prefer it to be more sweet, and a little less salty. Like others have said, it is too mild. 7/10
Overall I'd say it was good, but not outstanding. This is a great product idea, but I feel like if I was going to buy this I would at least double, probably triple the serving size - each serving is a little light on the ingredients in my opinion.
More to come tomorrow.

hmmm very curious as to what it is.........waxymaize intra workout drink maybe? Hmmmm
I'm sure with Universal driving it, it's gonna be a home run!
They have pre and post wo drinks, I think its quite possible to have an intra. I wonder whats in it.
I'm trying to think what could give a mix a thick or creamy texture to it. Also, if its powder, and buy universal, it'll have an awesome price in bulk. I'm sweatin waiting for the ingredient list.
Just finished my last dose. I honestly think Im going to make room in the budget for this stuff when it is released.
Review for today is same as the last two. I just wish i could speak more freely about this product to tell everyone exactly what they want to know about it, does it work and whats in it.

Taste: 8/10 - Tasted same as the other day..as some already put it, the taste is a bit mild / "weak" and I would, personally, like it a bit stronger.
Digestibility: 10/10 - No cramps, no bloat...'nuff said..
Mixability: 10/10 - Mixed easily and perfectly. No more needs to be said.
Mouthfeel: 9/10 - I would like the texture to be a bit "smoother". But otherwise, feels fine and goes down fine..
Texture: 8/10 - Still a tad bit weird, I would like it a bit more "smoother", but in retrospect, it's nice to have a change of pace / texture.
Overal:
The ingredient profile is SOLID! When / If this comes out, I will DEF be adding this to my supplement arsenal and even after some grueling workouts, I feel great after. Again, my only complaints or recommendations would be to make the taste a bit more stronger and the texture to be a bit smoother. That's just me though.
But again, I love the idea behind this, the ingredient profile, the ease of mixing it, no bloating or cramping or me running to the bathroom, so I would give this my seal of approval.

Well.. I've taken the 2nd and 3rd doses of this... the 2nd with 14 oz of water.. and the 3rd with 12 oz.
My review of it the same as the first time, I like it, great ingrediant list, goes down easy, but taste could be a little stronger. Almost made me feel like getting that flavored glass of milk when you were a kid that only had half the normal scoops of mix in it. You can taste something there... but it is very week.
I'd say with just a minor flavor tweak Universal has a winner. I'll be interested to see where this falls in with all the other drinks they have available.
Thanks again for letting me be one of the first to test it!

My last serving went down last night. My final review is simply a repeat of 1 and 2. My reaction has remained the same.
Flavor... It needs just a little flavor boost but the actual flavor itself is great. Just a bit stronger will win the race here.
Mouthfeel/Texture... These go hand in hand to me. It's funky IMO. I am not crazy about the milky/creamy texture of it. I feel like I am drinking flavored milk and due to what it is that is the wrong time for something like that for me. I could use it right the way it is. But it would not be my #1 choice if left this way due to this. This is really the only thing I can hit it for.
The need for more flavor is just a desire but we all water stuff down at times and it isn't that big of a deal. This texture issue however I feel could impede my purchase decisions were I Joe average shopper and was shopping for a product of this nature.
Mix... Nothing more to say. It mixes perfectly with or without a shaker cup and stays mixed very well.
Ingredients/effectiveness... Functionally the product is a champ. It's a clean knock out of competitive products of similar nature by ingredient profile alone and I found that it did just what it was supposed to and did it quite well.
I would buy some right the way it is but am not sure if I could get completely used to the texture. If function was all I was concerned about. This is a slam dunk.
That being said. I reviewed this for Universal's benefit from the view point of what "I" consider to be the average consumer. I myself don't actually care a whole lot about the creature comforts of a product if it does what it is supposed to, is priced right and doesn't have side affects... then I buy. So in reality I am ready to buy this now but I put that part of my nature aside long enough to view this from the stand points that were asked for from corporate. Those are things that matter for them. For me, I don't get too hung up on it unless something tastes so bad it makes you sick. So far, I have not found a Universal brand supplement that is like that.
That's Hoom's input...

Today was my second try at the new supp. Yesterday I mixed it with 12 oz. water, and today was 9-10 oz. water. Here's what I thought:
Texture: Same as yesterday, I am a big fan of the texture. It's unique, and I like it a lot. 10/10
Mouthfeel: Still feels like some skim milk to me, but again I like it. 10/10
Digestion: No probs today. Went down as easy as water. 10/10
Mixability: Again, no problems. 10/10
Taste: As I noted earlier, today I mixed it with about 9 oz. water, and I thought it tasted better. Still a little salty and not all that sweet, but it's good. 8/10
Appearance: I know this isn't one of the categories for review, but I wanted to add that this shit looks fucking cool! 10/10
Like I said yesterday, if I were to buy this product I would at least double, maybe triple the serving each time I took it, because there doesn't seem to be much of the active ingredients in there. The bigger guys might need even more than 2-3 servings. I think it would be more effective if the servings were bigger, but I guess that can be left to each individual to choose how much to use.

man, thats a huge tease. Kinda like giving us the label, but blacking everything else like the Government does with classified documents. Hahaha.
With all these great reviews I am very anxious to find out what this is. To me, these reviews are even more of an anticipation builder than U-rep saying "stay tuned"

LOL! I'm one of the men in black bro. Sorry, I can't divulge any further details at this time. Be careful not to ask too many questions or "they" will pay you a visit too. LOL!
As soon as the package came i was eager to tear it open and check it out. I took this product during my workout, which is very different because i always drink straight h20.
-Mixibility- I mixed it with the recommended amount of h20. It mixed so damn easy and i preceded to sip on it. This stuff mixes great, there was no grity texture or anything, it went down pretty smooth. I ended up pounding the rest of the thing.
-Taste- I definitely have a sweet tooth and in my opinion it was not sweet enough, it was kinda bland, i think it needs a little more tang/kick in the ass sweet taste if i were to sip on it during a workout.
-Digestibility- Stuff went down and stayed down pretty smooth, no bloated feeling like some drinks

Today was my last sample :(
Mixed with 8 oz. water today.
Mixability: Same as before - couldn't be better.
Digestibility: Improved each day, by today I'd give it 10/10.
Texture: Same as before - I'm a big fan of the texture.
Mouthfeel: Again, I personally like it a lot.
Taste: Finally got it right! 8 oz. was perfect for me. The recommend 12-16 oz. tastes too bland and salty, but 8 oz. was very good.
If I were to buy this product, each day I used I think I would do 3 servings in 24 oz. water.
Not sure what the other testers think about this, but I think that would be perfect in terms of flavor and amount of ingredients.

Serving 3 was tonight. It was basically the same as the last time.
Taste- Tasted the same as before. It tastes like the flavor it's supposed to, with a somewhat salty hint. I find it refreshing and enjoy it.
Digestibility- As before, no problems here, went down nice and easy.
Mouthfeel- Felt the same as before, smooth and sorta creamy/milky.
Mixability- Mixes great with 12-16 ounces of water, blends right in and doesn't need repeat shakings.
I think this is going to be some good stuff.

Well as you liked the taste and texture/mouthfeel a lot...that would be a good idea to mix it in 24oz.
But for me, I used and would use a bit less water, around 12oz, b/c the taste was a bit "mild"/"weak" IMO.
If they were to make the taste a bit stronger, then I would DEF add more water. Plus, i really don't mind the texture/mouthfeel...IMO,it's a nice "change of pace"..hahaha

No what I meant is that I would mix 3 servings in 24 oz. water, which would mean one serving in 8 oz. water. I think you would've liked one serving in 8 oz. more than 12 oz.

Maybe...but the texture/mouthfeel would be a bit too thick for my liking..
Did my first today....mixed 1 scoop with about 10oz of water....mixed easilly, just a couple of shakes of the bottle....texture is milk like on the tongue, flavor...I liked it, sweet but not to sweet....as for digestibility...I've been gassy all day so this went down like water...I liked it. Post more tomorrow.
