BCAA Powder 2:1:1 (90 Servings, No Flavor Added) - Branched Chain Amino Acids

A trainer told me about BCAA's after years of regular exercising and I was skeptical but tried it. I was amazed at how night and day the difference was with my muscle soreness was and at how much it aided my gains right away. I've tried brands that try to mix a bunch of other junk with it, but really it's just not necessary and doesn't improve the effectiveness. The 2:1:1 ratio specifically works the best from what I've tried and I've found the simple powder is the best for mixing into simple preworkout shake of caffeine and beta beta alanine mix. Not the greatest taste but easy enough to chug down in water or a little flavoring. Keep in mind that timing of when you consume it is absolutely key to it's effectiveness -- Before or during workouts, but not after. There are a lot of junk workout supplements out there that don't do anything, but this is one of the only ones I'd say is absolutely crucial for helping muscles recover for weight lifting or resistance training, you won't regret trying it.

I bought this BCAA powder to help with my workouts, but now it mostly just works out how to get into everything I drink. Coffee? Amino acids. Water? Amino acids. Emotional support beverage? Also amino acids. The best part: it’s unflavored. Which means it tastes like absolutely nothing… just like my dance moves at the gym. I mix it in and it disappears faster than my motivation on leg day. No weird aftertaste, no chalky nonsense — just smooth dissolving goodness. After a few weeks, my muscles recovered faster and my soreness said, “BCAA later!” (Yes, I hate myself too.) Five stars. Because gains are great, and this powder really amino-s up to expectations.

So far my husband likes this he has copd and it has made a noticeable change in his breathing. He had more energy he says he thinks it’s all from this. My daughter who is a pharmacist said she can’t see anything wrong with taking it. He says it doesn’t taste real good but he getting used to it. I think it comes in flavors now.

Do not use this product the customer support is awful. I have called and left messages and emailed with zero response. Been on hold with them trying to have someone to talk to and just get hung up on after being on hold for more than 20 minutes. The product that I purchased was supposed to be tasteless and what I thought would be order less and I think it’s contaminated with something. When I opened it smelled the entire room with an awful smell. Then the tase was awful as well. I wouldn’t buy this product and consider yourself warned.

I made a huge mistake in thinking the unflavored would be like creatine where it would be tasteless. Wrong. This is the most disgusting thing I’ve ever tasted. I added it to my smoothie, and it completely ruined it. I’m glad I just got the 30 servings one. It’s like torture trying to chug this thing down. I saw a review on here that said if you let it sit for five minutes, it taste better. It does kind of taste less horrible, but the taste is still really bad. It’s also very chalky and not easily dissolvable. As for muscle recovery I think it’s really good and does what it’s supposed to do. I also think I’m seeing a little bit more muscle mass. I used to take capsules but didn’t want to be taking so many different supplements that I’m already taking. So decided to try a powder form.I also didn’t want to get anything flavored but I think I may have to next time because I’m definitely not getting the unflavored again.

I'm glad I found this one. I use it in my post-workout shake and can literally feel the effects of recovery it has. If I could afford to order more frequently, I would take it with my pre-workout shake as well for energy production. I don't see any drawbacks as far as the taste since mine is unflavored but I don't even taste it in my protein shake. Over all, I like what Nutricost does with supplements as far as diversity and affordability.

Definitely not knocking the product. Was confused about the bitter taste. Did some checking. Turns out 25% of the population (like me) are 'Super Tasters" or very sensitive to bitter. 50% are so-so "Tasters" and 25% "Non-Tasters". Can't say for bottom 75% but if you are also a super taster-lol, you won't like the taste.

It’s a good quality BCAA but the taste is kinda horrible. It also lacks as many BCAAs other supplements.
