Reviewer: Saunders_J
I like this product so much it is worth writing a review, i have just started at the gym 6 weeks ago after a long lay off and going from 12 and a half stone down to 10 and a half, within 6 weeks i am now pushing more weight than i have ever done and have added 1 and a half stone in 6 weeks. i have also been using Mammoth 2500 as a gainer and the 2 products have worked really well together. would definitly recommend to anybody looking to push harder at the gym.

Really great, good source of branch chain amino acids, creatine, beta alanine, citrulline... the list goes on and you know EVERY ingredient quantity - very good and the flavours are ok too!
Reviewer: MCFC-100
Great product I like that I can use this as a BCAA product as well (3g per scoop) so it saves money on that as well as being ten quid cheaper than no xplode anyway!!
Taste wise its not the best but hell who cares you just neck the stuff right!
Reviewer: The Gift
I've been using this pretty much since it came out and have switched 100% from jack3d - I've never actually tried a pre-wo shake that wasn't like being on some legal high type of thing.
I was advised to try a full tub of this before making a proper judgement and coming from jack3d I think this was great advice - initially I was dubious.. and even had a couple of sneaky jack3d's when I felt I needed a bigger boost.
Now I can feel the effect of the caffeine properly, and the grape extract (I think?) must be a potent ingredient because I can really see the vascularity coming out way more than jack3d.
Great product - my only advise is to go for blackcurrant flavour, fruit punch sucks a bit even though its usually the safest flavour.
Reviewer: Dave - Echo Supplements
I've been taking Reflex Performance Matrix for just over a week now and REALLY starting to like it - at first I wasn't sure because I'm used the the very stim-heavy DY noxpump but I thought I would persevere and once you get over the fact that it isn't meant to be the same I've started to notice how good the PM is.
I'm getting a nice little boost, good focus and some really good vascularity - only other product that I noticed the vascularity like this from is Stampede from anabolic designs - I was doing shoulders and arms today and had some seriously popping out veins on the go even in the fridge that is the gym at this time of year.
Flavour-wise I'd very strongly advise anyone thinking about this to go for the pineapple over the fruit punch! I haven't tried the blackcurrant yet though - it may well be better again. Mixability is as good as I've had from a pre-wo product with the exception of SP250 which made me feel ill!

Thanks for the free sample Echo, greatly appreciated!
The fruit punch tastes more like a watermelon kind of taste to me which was OK. It wasn't terrible but it wasn't great either. 7/10
I found that it took quite a long time for the contents to dissolve in the directed amount of water. There were still some crystals left in the bottom after 15 minutes. Are they supposed to dissolve entirely? 7/10
I took this yesterday before a shoulders & biceps workout and I was not disappointed. It felt like a steady supply of energy during the course of my workout. No sudden surge of energy and no sudden crash which is the way I like it. Muscles were full and pumped. 9/10
I was tempted to train calves as well afterwards as I had loads of energy left but I had already spent too long in the gym hammering the weights.
Overall a very good product in my opinion 8/10

Just got back from Chest/Delts/Tri's having used it.
Taste was a bit grim but not particularly strong, so easily bearable, mixed quite well.
Training was fucking awesome, didn't feel like there was a coming up or down from the product which was nice as having tried some NOX samples before i felt a pretty strong buzz soon after taking it, not fun when you have to drive to the gym.
Above session has been going well in recent weeks and today was awesome, added some good reps and KG's to some of my lifts, recovery was good (although i have been using Creatine Gluconate too recently), focus was noticeable and the pump was lovely.
This may be something i look into further when ive got 20 quid spare, definitely worth trialling for a longer period.

I used my sample this morning, mixed it with around 350ml water before my workout.
Taste 7/10 - It was quite a subtle taste, not too overpowering which is always a good thing, especially as it was around 6.30am this morning.
Mixability 9/10 - Typically mixed very well as with all Reflex supplements I have tried/used in the past, the sample serving, mixed with 350ml water created a smooth texture which mixed in a shaker with no problems, no clumps or lumps.
Effect 8/10 - I have to say that I haven't used that many pre-workout supps and none as complex as this, but from the products I have used this has to be up there with the best! It gave me great focus and adrenaline, but did not make me feel so pumped that I thought I was going to go all 'Hulk'-like and explode which is really good!! It helped with my lifts, (whether this was a placebo effect or not, only multiple use of the product would tell).
Overall 8/10 - I think this is a great product and I enjoyed my experience with it, I will be looking into making an order for this product in the near future, I will probably try a different flavour though.........
Thanks again to ECHO for the sample, really appreciated.
Reviewer: phil
enjoyed this; flavour was reasonably pleasant and perfectly drinkable. after a few shakes to mix it the pressure in my shaker almost blew my face off when i popped the lid!! didn't feel overly stimulated, but then I don't particularly enjoy that and sometimes makes me feel nauseous if I take it on an empty stomach so that was good.
main thing for me was the flavour, so I will be getting the reflex stack to run for a month and see how it goes. keep my fingers crossed the growth matrix flavour is alright, heard a few ropey reviews - "stomach acid" and "suspension medicine" are a few choice quotes!
cheers for the sample echo!
Reviewer: graham__n
wow - I've been using the performance matrix for just over a month now and saw this site and thought it was worth adding a review. reflex performance matrix is definitely my pre workout product of choice.
first - the price is unreal, everything else out there is 10 pound more (i got mine for 24.99) and to be honest they aren't any better than this - the opposite if anything.
so i've noticed that my strength on the big lifts is well up, added 10kg to my bench in this month alone, very happy with this! taste and mixability i don't really care about but for what its worth the fruit punch tastes really good, although the shaker does explode a bit with the pressure for some reason.
so to sum up this is a top product and i don't see any real reason to change given its so cheap
Reviewer: mik
Bit of a disappointment this one - from Reflex I was expecting a great workout as I love their growth matrix and peptide fusion but this really did nothing for me - if anything I felt more 'down' in my workout.
I've read a little about it since then and this is because its meant to be one where you need a full tub to start feeling the benefits but thats not what I want from a pre-workout!
Oh well thanks to echo supplements for the free sample and this may be good if you are looking for a slow acting performance boost or something....
Taste was actually nice in pineapple and it mixed well if anyone else is going to try this!

What Is Reflex Performance Matrix?
The whole idea behind pre-workout supplementation is to help you get more from your workout - whether it be lifting weights or a general aerobic exercise.
If you want to get the most out of your workout and use pre workout products then it is senseless to use a supplement that contains ingredients that are not scientifically proven to be effective. Its a sad fact that some of todays pre-workout formulations are largely nothing more than caffeinated beverages with cocktails of ingredients that are under dosed, often unproven and undisclosed in their dosage. (These types of products are easily identified, look at the ingredients, if you see Proprietory Blend its going to be virtually impossible to tell what you e actually getting.)
What Does Reflex Performance Matrix Do?
Reflex Performance Matrix - Industry Leading Formula
Our pre-workout product Performance Matrix is a perfect example of what Reflex Nutrition delivers; a transparant industry leading formula, just click on the label tab above and see the full dose ingredients. There are 5 key areas of interest that Performance Matrix addresses;
- Stimulates Protein Synthesis
Arguably the most expensive and effective component of Performance Matrix. To help stimulate protein synthesis (muscle growth) we use the scientifically proven approach of a high dose of Branched Chain Amino Acids. BCAAs are very expensive to manufacture costing as much as 300% more than other amino acids. Our no compromise approach means that we used 7,000mg of Branch Chained Amino Acids per 40g serving which replicates the dosages in a ground breaking study showing the positive effects of BCAAs on protein synthesis. - Reduces Fatigue
The harder, more intensely you train, the greater performance and results. However, with intense training comes lactic acid, ammonia and acidity build up. Scientific studies have proven that both Citrulline Malate and Beta-Alanine increase endurance. Citrulline works by reducing the buildup of ammonia in your muscles whilst Beta-Alanine, the precursor to Carnosine, helps to buffer acidity/pH changes within muscle tissue. Industry leading doses of 3,000mgs of Citrulline Malate and 1800mgs Beta-Alanine are found in just 2 scoops of Performance Matrix. - Increases Strength
We include a 5,000mg dose of Creapure creatine in each serving. Creapure creatine is recognised as the best quality creatine available today, providing a patented solution to your strength and growth goals. Whilst other supplements contain different forms of creatine like CEE, few of these other forms can claim to be as safe or as effective as CREAPURE. - Increases Mental Focus
They say that the mind is stronger than muscle. The best workouts come from great focus and a positive attitude, so weve added ingredients to help you get into that zone. Each scoop of Performance Matrix contains 200mg of pure caffeine along with 1000mg of Taurine. N.B. For those who do not want caffeine please use our non caffeinated variety. - Raises Blood Arginine Levels
The pump experienced when lifting weights can be increased by elevating levels of Nitric Oxide in your body. The accepted method is by elevating levels of Arginine in your body. A recent scientific study proves that the fastest and most effective method is by taking the Arginine pre-cursor Citrulline and not Arginine AKG. This is because the Arginine is not metabolized effectively and results in lower increases in blood Arginine levels compared to Citrulline. In addition to 3,000mg of Citrulline per serving, Performance Matrix now contains our new vpNOSTM polyphenol complex at 114mg for increased vasodilatation and anti oxidant support.
Please compare Reflex Performance Matrix
Looking at the competition, youll soon discover why we believe Performance Matrix is the best formulation on the market. You certainly won see a dose of BCAAs as high as 7000mgs, nor will you see the exclusive use of Creapure Creatine, and its highly unlikely that other formulae will be as good value.
