Easy-to-swallow capsules with no bad taste or aftertaste
Positive experiences with recovery, energy, and reduced muscle fatigue
Strong trust in the MuscleTech brand and its research-backed products
This peptide provides incredibly recovery and energy benefits.
I love Muscletech products, even though they are on the pricier side I won't use any other brand. The only drawback to this peptide is that its a bit too pricey for what it is 30 days supply for 80 dollars just seems like a bit of a stretch that I don't see many every day budget minded people using. With that said I will admit that I noticed an incredible uptick in my recovery when using it. I also noticed an increase in my energy levels which have bin a bit mute due to my low testosterone. It is very easy to take being a reasonable size and having no bad taste to it. So aside from the price the effectivness of this peptide lives up to the muscletech brand providing incredible recovery and energy benefits.
A more advanced and effective form of leucine, but the price is also much higher.A more advanced and effective form of leucine, but the price is also much higher.
I’ve been taking MuscleTech whey protein powders for years, and it’s one of my favorite brands of protein supplements. So I was very curious to try this Muscle Peptide supplement from them.One serving of this supplement contains 2,000 mg of DL-185 dileucine (L-leucyl-L-leucine monohydrate).I haven’t tried this form of leucine before, but I’ve taken regular leucine supplements in the past. The product listing claims that this DL-185 dileucine has 60% greater activation of muscle protein synthesis compared to regular leucine.One bottle of this Muscle Peptide supplement contains 84 capsules, with a serving size of 3 capsules, so it should last 28 days. There is a slightly noticeable smell inside the bottle. It isn’t unpleasant, but it’s quite different from any other supplements I’ve tried in the past. It reminds me of the smell of some newly purchased non-food products.The capsules are fairly large, but I haven’t had any trouble swallowing them. I tried taking this MuscleTech supplement in the morning on non-training days and about 30 minutes after workouts. On one day when I was fasting, I took 1 capsule 3 times a day to prevent muscle loss. I haven’t had any digestive issues, headaches, aftertaste, or other side effects since I started taking it.The effects I noticed are quite similar to what I experienced with regular leucine. I feel less muscle fatigue after training, and I seem to recover faster. I also felt like I had more endurance and stamina during exercise.The lot number and expiration date are printed on the bottom of the bottle, and mine expires in about three years.The price of this DL-185™ dileucine supplement is rather high, and it is significantly more expensive than regular leucine. I think it may be more suitable for people who are very serious about bodybuilding and lifting heavy weights. For me personally, though, since I train at an amateur level, regular leucine might work almost just as well as this more advanced form, especially considering its high cost.
We believe it’s working well with gains showingWe believe it’s working well with gains showing
So first we will start off by saying we love muscleTech as we have been buying their products for over 10 years. Mainly whey protein isolate, bcaa, and even their multivitamins plus their creatine monohydrate. So when we saw these new “peptides” we figured we would give them a shot, we trust the brand and we would like to see if this stuff works and will help us gain muscle but most importantly, have sustained workouts and even recovery after. We train about 3 days a week and clean buildings during the evening so we are very active people. It’s states on the bottle(from clinical trials) up to 144% more strength and 60% more anabolic than leucine. I can say that in the past week our workouts have seemed easier meaning we have more strength especially towards the later part of the workout where we were usually getting tired. It’s been a few weeks since we’ve been testing it but so far we do feel a bit stronger and our body’s look even better. Though we have been dieting and sleeping well. Because this is new it’s hard to truly say unless this was the only supplement you are taking. But we believe it to be affective. Mustletech does the research and test everything they sell and that’s why they are so huge. I’d say buy 1 bottle track your intake and after the bottle is down assess after. As far as price goes, it’s worth the high cost IF it works for you but if you didn’t see results the. It’s not worth the high price. It’s subjective obviously. If you are serious about body building or getting stronger in the gym I’d take a change and try these peptides out. Can’t hurt.
Solid addition to a gym stack, but hard to justify at its current $80/month costSolid addition to a gym stack, but hard to justify at its current $80/month cost
I like and trust the MuscleTech brand, and that was a big part of why I was willing to try this.I’m a little skeptical of some of the marketing promises, but I also don’t expect any supplement to produce dramatic changes overnight. With realistic expectations, this seems like a solid addition to a regular gym-goer’s daily stack. The ingredient is backed by some research, and the 2,000 mg dose is in line with what has actually been studied.Three capsules a day are easy enough to add to my routine, and I haven’t had any stomach issues or other side effects.My biggest hesitation is the price. As another reviewer said, the currently listed $80 for about a month’s supply is pretty steep... and I’m not sure the likely incremental benefit is enough to justify taking it indefinitely. I like the product and will finish the bottle, but I’d have a much easier time recommending it at a lower price.
Expensive, but easy to useExpensive, but easy to use
I used to do natural bodybuilding, and still lift, so I'm no stranger to Muscletech supplements. These contain the brands proprietary ingredient, a peptide called DL-185. Unlike so many supplements, these aren't enormous, so they're very easy to swallow. There really hasn't been enough time in the allocated review period to notice any results, but I haven't had any negative effects. The brand's products are usually well-researched, so I'm confident. Thus far the only negative is the price- around $79 for 84 capsules, with a serving being 3, so you only get 28 servings. That's pretty expensive for a peptide. But, I'm not unhappy with them.
Promising Supplement with a Smooth StartPromising Supplement with a Smooth Start
I've been looking for a supplement with these ingredients, and this one checked all the boxes for me. The capsules arrived well-packaged, and they're easy to take, with no aftertaste. So far I've experienced no unpleasant side effects or stomach upset, which is always something I pay attention to when trying a new supplement.It's still too early for me to comment on what it does for you, so I can't speak to its long-term effectiveness yet. My energy level seems to be a bit better, though that could be psychologic. The ingredients definitely look promising. However, I did some research before ordering and found a lot of positive feedback about these ingredients, which made me feel comfortable giving it a try. If the results match my expectations over time, I'll be very pleased. Based on my experience so far, it's been a good start and I'd recommend it to anyone looking to try this type of supplement.
