After Marcus shared his story on Reddit, his inbox exploded. Hundreds of messages. All asking the same thing:

"Which brands did you use?"

Because here's what Marcus learned the hard way:

Not all creatine monohydrate is actually monohydrate.

Some brands cut it with cheaper forms (creatine ethyl ester, creatine HCl) that have zero research behind them. Some use low-quality manufacturing that leaves impurities and causes stomach issues. Some are "micronized" in name only—still gritty, still clumpy, still sitting in your gut. And protein? Even worse. The whey market is FLOODED with:

• Protein-spiked formulas (cheap amino acids counted as "protein")
• Concentrate blends that cause bloating
• Artificial sweeteners that taste like chemicals
• Zero third-party testing (you're just trusting the label)

Marcus tried six different brands before finding what actually worked. Six tubs of mediocre protein. Six different reatine brands. That's $300+ wasted and two months of trial and error.

"There had to be a better way," Marcus thought.

That's when Marcus discovered Lorenzo+.

Not through an Instagram ad. Not through a sponsored influencer. Through a forum thread where serious lifters were comparing third-party test results and ingredient transparency. Someone posted: "If you want the real deal—Creapure creatine, NSF-tested isolate, zero BS—Lorenzo+ is the move."

Marcus was skeptical. Another supplement brand making claims?

But when he checked the specs, something was different:

Lorenzo+ Micronized Creatine Monohydrate:

• 5g pure Creatin per scoop
• Micronized for instant dissolution
• NSF Certified for Sport (banned substance tested)
• Zero additives. Just creatine.

Lorenzo+ 100% Whey Isolate (Vanilla & Chocolate):

• 25g ultra-filtered whey isolate per scoop
• 5.5g BCAAs including 2.7g leucine (hits the MPS threshold)
• <1g lactose (virtually zero bloating)
• NSF Certified for Sport
• Actually tastes good (not chalky, not artificially sweet)

But what really caught Marcus's attention?

The company was built BY lifters FOR lifters.

No celebrity endorsements. No miracle claims.

Just: "Here's what works. Here's the research. Here's the quality you deserve."

The kind of straight-talk that serious athletes actually respect.

-------------------------

Marcus ordered both. When they arrived, the first thing he noticed: the packaging was simple.

No flashy graphics promising "EXTREME MASS GAINS" or "EXPLOSIVE POWER."

Just clean labels with:

• Ingredient list (short and readable)
• Dosing instructions (clear and evidence-based)
• Third-party certification badges (NSF, Informed Choice)
• A note: "Third-party tested. What's on the label is in the bottle."

He mixed his first post-workout shake:

• 1 scoop vanilla whey isolate
• 1 scoop creatine (unflavored)
• 12 oz water in a shaker bottle

Shook it up. No clumps. No foam. Just smooth.

Tasted it.

"Holy sh*t. This actually tastes like vanilla. Not fake vanilla. Not chemical vanilla. Just... vanilla."

No chalky aftertaste. No sickeningly sweet flavor that makes you gag halfway through. Just clean, smooth protein. And the creatine? Completely dissolved. Invisible. Tasteless.

"This is what I'd been missing," Marcus realized. Not some exotic ingredient. Not a proprietary blend. Just QUALITY versions of the two supplements that actually work.
