CytoSport stresses that the ingredients listed on its labels are exactly the ingredients contained in its products. However, in 2001 the FDA issued a warning to owner Greg Pickett, citing dietary supplement label violation. It stated that the ProPower products were misbranded because they contained artificial flavors and were not labeled as such. Other label claims were not made in accordance with FDA regulations.
Approximately $25 to $40 for 2.5 pounds of powder.
One consumer who was using Cytomax Recovery for five weeks reported that he noticed a difference almost immediately. He noted that he did not feel as fatigued following his workouts, and even experienced increased endurance.
