I use quite a bit of Beverley products, Muscle Provider, Ultra Size, vitamins, joint care, Mass Maker and have for several years. In fact, my post workout shake is 2 scoops Mass Maker and 2 scoops Muscle Provider and it tastes phenomenal. They all taste very good and above all I think they are quality products. I've tried many other companies out there but always come back to Beverley. I"ve always had good results with them. They've been around for years and are very solid. The newsletter is obviously some marketing but they are not about gimmicks at all. I've met some of their people at the Arnold Expo and they are nice, down to earth, and serious about what they do. They also do contest prep for free if you use their stuff (I've not used the service but have no problem with it since I already use their products). They put on a large bodybuilding show on the east coast every year (I think in April or May) with shows their committment to the sport.

I`ve never used their products,but they are a highly reputable company.
I have corresponded a bit with Roger Reddinger the companys founder,and he seems like an honest guy who cares about putting out quality products.
He and his wife Sandy are well respected in the fitness industry.

My husband and I, mainly my husband uses their muscle provider. One thing that is pretty cool with their protein powder(s), you can add a little bit of heavy whipping cream, which they recommend, and mix it together in a bowl and have a thick pudding. Or you can use water or milk. We get their newsletter/magazine too. My hubby knows a guy who also swears by their products and, I believe, they have helped him with his diet for competition as well. There is also a guy in there SulCop-Sully-who my hubby talks to quite frequently. If you can afford their products give them a try...they are a little pricey, in our opinion, but worth it!!!

I read their newsletter as it comes in the mail. Im not competing or anything, so would it be worth it to pay $30 for protein, when im paying $12 now?

I personally think it's worth it, although I don't want to disagree with Tim here (I'd probably get struck down by lightning ;D) It's just that I've tried many proteins out there and can vouch that their stuff is top notch. I'd rather pay extra for stuff I know works instead of waste money on crap. Part of it is probably a personal preference as well, since as was stated they really focus on quality and what's best for the bodybuilder. They don't produce "fad" products. Bob

Bob Hey no problem Bob,I`m certainly not the authority on protein powder or most anything else....just my opinion. I know they sell great products but if I can find something decent, for less cash,I usually buy it as I go through it like crazy.

Yep,theres all sorts of things to consider with protein powder,processing and purity are important factors. if what you're using does the trick then theres no reason to change!

I've known Roger and his wife Sandy for over 20yrs. I've competed with Roger, he was in my first contest. We used to judge AAU shows together back in the day. I can honestly say that their committment to the sport is second to none. I personally don't put alot of money into supplements. Beverly is expensive, Roger told me that they only use the top grade raw ingredients. Alot of companys make label claims that aren't true. Every Beverly supplement thats been independently tested always meets or exceeds label claims.
This is a true story, Beverly sets up booths at all the major shows and Roger told me that Dave Draper stopped at their booth, bought a bottle of Ultra 40 liver, ripped it open and took a handful right on the spot! In fact I've heard from more than one source that Beverly is the supps that the pro's actually use even though their being paid to endorse other products!
