First of all I've used a few weight gainers in the past but never an 'all in one' weight gainer with creatine, glutamine and all that before.

Things I've used before are nutrisport weight gainer, bsn true mass and even made my own (oats and whey etc) - these have worked a bit but nowhere near as much as the omni hardcore!

The only thing I marked it down on is the price - at around 50 quid for 4kg its a bit pricey.. that said it does work better so I don't mind paying it really.

Taste and mixability are great - it tastes amazing in strawberry still got to try chocolate! Highly recommended!

OK so I have been using this for some time now (few months I think) and thought it was about time I wrote a review! First of all I will skim through the ingredients - and there are a lot! Each serving of Omni Hardcore delivers:

- 45g Protein
- 80g Carbs
- 4.5g Fat

These are the 'vital stats' of Omni Hardcore - I'll get to the extras later. An interesting thing is that the protein is actually the same blend as in Sci-MX's GRS-5 Protein System - so a blend of whey, egg and milk protein for quick and sustained release; this is particulary good post workout as a blend of quick and slow proteins has been shown to give better results. Also included is Aminogen which is a compound that increases the effectiveness of the protein - a good extra!

The number of carbs included can be a concern for some but it is worth pointing out that in a similar way to the protein this is split into slow and fast carbs - with waxy maize (the same as in PhD's waxy vol) being the slow release of choice. I am a little worried that there doesn't seem to be a breakdown of the ratio slow/fast carbs (as far as I can see) which would be nice to know!

OK then onto the 'meat' of the supplement - as Omni Hardcore is an all-in-one weight gainer you would certainly expect things like creatine, glutamine and maybe HMB - with OH Sci-MX have really pushed the boat out - you get creatine (5g) glutamine (4g) and HMB (1.5g) like most others on the market, but you also get BCAAs (8g), Beta-Alanine (1.5g), MCT Oil (3.6g), AAKG (2g) and a natural t-boosting stack of ZMA, Nettle Root Extract and Avena Sativa - phew! The really impressive thing here for me is the quantity of beta-alanine and creatine per serving (similar to Boditronics Profusion Reloaded). I am a little dubious about the t-boosting ingredients but I use Tauro Test for that and am having great results from that!

Well.. has it worked for me? I have certainly put on some weight over the past few months, but what I have struggled with in the past is eating enough carbs and I used to have bad problems with DOMs - this has eased a lot, which I can only really attribute to switching to Omni Hardcore (from PhD Synergy, which has much lower carbs and less ingredients) with it's increased carbs, HMB and BCAAs. This alone is worth the money for me, as I am training just as hard but not having the pain for days afterwards!
