Overview
Here’s what CNP have to say:
CNP Pro GFX+ is a scientifically developed
pre-workout formula with caffeine, amino acids and creatine which is proven to
enhance physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high intensity
exercise such as weight lifting. This beneficial effect is obtained with a
daily intake of 3g of creatine. GFX+ is formulated to deliver scientifically
proven levels of all its active ingredients and provides 1.5g of Beta Alanine,
200mg Caffeine, 2g Arginine Nitrate, 2.8g Citrulline Malate, 5g Branched Chain Amino
Acids, 5g Creatine Monohydrate, 150mg Pine Bark Extract and 0.8g Taurine in
each 20g serving. The mineral magnesium is also added, which contributes to a
reduction in tiredness and fatigue. GFX+ is the ideal pre-workout supplement to
enhance your training performance.
CNP Pro GFX+ is designed
for healthy adults of 18+ years of age seeking to support performance and
muscle development during resistance exercise. Some people using Pro GFX+ may
experience a tingling feeling from the beta alanine; this is harmless but
depending on individual tolerance can be unsettling. Don’t worry; it’s supposed
to feel like that.

Ingredients: Branch Chain Amino Acids,
Creatine Monohydrate, L-Citrulline Malate, L-Arginine Nitrate, Taurine, Beta
Alanine, Flavourings, Taurine, Magnesium Citrate, Sweetener (sucralose),
Colouring (beetroot extract), Caffeine, Pine Bark Extract.
5g of BCAAs, 5g of Creatine, 800mg of
Taurine, 1500mg of Beta Alanine – it’s all quite standard for a preworkout
until you get to Pine Bark Extract which is what sets this preworkout apart
from others. Pine Bark Extract increase blood flow, acts as a pain killer and
even has antioxidant properties.
Taste
We used both the Summer Fruits and Tropical
flavours and whilst both were very good by preworkout standards the Summer
Fruits was the better tasting. They mixed up easily and didn’t leave grit at
the bottom of the shaker.
Side Effects
Slight tingle from the Beta Alanine but that’s
not unusual and wears off quickly.
Price
£22.99 for a tub with 16 servings in.
Results
CNP might be the go to company for
endurance supplements but this was clearly made for the weight room. When I read
through the ingredients list I wasn’t expecting this to be too powerful, I expected
moderate energy than ran out 30 minutes into the session, decent pumps and a
bit of focus. I was blown away by what GFX+ brought to the table.
The energy and endurance was intense, it didn’t
last for that long maybe 45 minutes but the majority of the time I was able to
storm through my workouts in that time before I even felt like I’d finished the
first set. The pumps were much better than expected (possibly the Pine Bark
going to work) and lasted a good few hours after the session had finished.
Whilst you do get a “switched on” feeling it was never overpowering.
I’ve used Pre’s before where you get end up
with a headache and a huge energy crash but with GFX+ there are no side effects
at all that any of the team experienced. Coming in at £1.43 a serving it’s a little
bit more expensive than I’d like but I guess you are paying for quality. It’s
certainly not so expensive that it’s put me off the product.
CNP have crafted an excellent preworkout
that should be effective enough for people of all levels, the only downside we
could think of is the price and that the tub only has 16 servings in so you’ll
end up re-ordering quite soon. 8.5/10
