I am very close to purchasing two tubs of Opticen from all the reviews here and elsewhere (Chris you do a fantastic job of getting work out on your products and selling people on them! lol)

However, I have one last question, it says to mix with 30 ounces of water! That seems like a HUGE shake, plus my shaker cups are only 24 ounces max, and I do not own a blender, or even a cup that big! lol

How do you do it? Can I just make one that is 20 ounces with two scoops instead of three?

It all depends on how thick you want your shake. What I often do is break it up into 2 different shakes and drink it that way. The choice is yours.

you use 3 scoops in 16-20 oz ? Is that not insanely thick??

Not really. I have no trouble just drinking it down....

Now if you want thick,THIS is thick... and mighty tasty. (you can thank Travis Bell as he posted this the other day)


2 cups whole milk
1 cup whip cream (make sure its not the light cream)
2 scoops Maximus
2 scoops Nitrean
1 row mint oreos

how do you like the product itself? It mixes well, tastes well, works?

It mixes great with just a shaker, and I personally like the taste (I get chocolate). As far as "works", I feel like my recovery time is much better when using it as a PWO drink. I keep a tub in my car for really busy days when I need a few more calories... all I need is a bottle of water. I have also put on about 25 pounds in three and half months, some of which I have to attribute to it. All in all, I'm very pleased.

As in is a transporter for calories? Yep, does a good job of it.

works; as in promotes recovery, helps build muscle mass (not necessarily just weight) helps increase strength, etc.
