Kaged Muscle IN-KAGED Review: A Solid Intra-Workout
I got my hands on another intra-workout product from Kaged Muscle and decided to give it a try and toss up a review of it for you all. This particular product is called Kaged Muscle IN-KAGED. If you missed my previous review of Kaged Muscle PRE-KAGED (their pre-workout), you can check it out here.
I’m a fan of amino acids and an even bigger fan of not only using them intra-workout, but also using them throughout the day as well (such as between meals). The flavor of the Kaged Muscle IN-KAGED that I got is Cherry Lemonade.
For those of you who aren’t aware, this brand was built by none other than Kris Gethin. If you don’t know who Kris is, shame on you. Just kidding. But seriously, Kris has been in the industry a very long time and is one of the most knowledgeable guys out there. He also just signed a deal with Dan Soloman’s Digital Muscle to be their editor. Prior to starting his own brand, Kris worked as an editor at Bodybuilding.com for many years and he and I worked together to produce some of the sites best content.
Ok, let’s get into the Kaged Muscle IN-KAGED review…
Kaged Muscle IN-KAGED
I’ve tried many intra-workout products, and generally, I have always gone back to Scivation XTEND. Why? Because it works and there are tons of flavors to keep things fresh and exciting. Kaged Muscle IN-KAGED comes in the Cherry Lemonade flavor that I have as well as Watermelon. I decided to go with the Cherry Lemonade for something different.
Kaged Muscle IN-KAGED has Fermented BCAAs in a 2:1:1 ratio. The product is non-GMO and is manufactured from by vegetable fermentation. Along with BCAAs, the product also includes L-Citrulline to enhance your pump and vasodilation, Carnosyn Beta-Alanine for the synthesis of muscle carnosine, coconut water powder for hydration, taurine to improve strength and force, L-Tyrosine to promote mental function and neurotransmitter function, and PURCAF to boost energy levels naturally.
A huge selling point for me is that Kaged Muscle IN-KAGED does not contain any artificial colors or flavors. If you know anything about me, you know I hate both of those. There are so many studies showing the negative effects of colors and dyes that anyone who consumes products with them in should get their head checked — they’re terrible for you (especially kids).
Next… let’s get down to the nitty-gritty.
MIXABILITY:
One scoop is all you need per serving and there were zero issues with how it mixed in water. I dumped on scoop in 20 ounces of water and was good to go after only a few shakes in a Blender Bottle.
TASTE:
I was actually surprised by the taste of Kaged Muscle IN-KAGED. I expected the product to have a “bite” to it, but it was very mellow and had a great taste. Some products that are “lemonade” tend to have a little bit of a sour taste to them, but this one didn’t have that — which was actually quite refreshing.
TRANSPARENCY:
What can I say, I love brands that are open and transparent when it comes to what is in their products and at what dosages. I hate when there is a proprietary blend and everything but the kitchen sink is included and you have no idea if the dosages for each ingredient are even worthwhile. So, props to Kaged Muscle for being transparent.
PROFILE:
The profile, in my opinion, is awesome. I like the fact that there’s a 2:1:1 ratio of BCAAs. I like the fact that it contains coconut water powder for hydration. It’s nice to see the addition of a vasodilator to improve your pump and help flood the working muscles with nutrients. I also like that it has natural caffeine in it from green coffee beans (PURECAF).
OVERALL THOUGHTS ON KAGED MUSCLE IN-KAGED:
Homerun. Period. I love this product. Profile is slammin, taste is amazing, I can’t find anything to knock other than I would have liked to see EAAs included in the profile. Would I recommend this product? Absolutely. In fact, I’m thinking about picking up some more of this and trying the Watermelon flavor as well to compare it to others on the market from a taste standpoint. If you are in the market for an intra-workout product, definitely consider giving Kaged Muscle IN-KAGED a try.
