This is definitely not a miracle supplement, it will not make your skin tingle, or get you extremely pumped to max out on bench, but, it's definitely worth every penny. Ive been working out for about 25 years, have tried many supplements, protein powders, creatine, etc... this is hands down my favorite supplement. It does not mess with your nervous systems as other pre workouts do, it does not bloat you like other proteins do. This supplement, when drunk during the workout will give you endurance and also help you recover faster. It tastes delicious, I put one serving scoop into 40 oz of ice water and sip it throughout my grueling 2 hour workouts. It's really fine powder, and really easy to mix, no need for blender, just a couple of shakes and it's ready. Not only is it great for workouts, but if your working out in the yard, in the heat, sipping on this will keep you going and hydrated. I always use way more water than recommended to make it taste something like vita water.

This is a great product. I have tried both Watermelon and Raw flavors. I bought the Watermelon first on someone's recommendation that it was the best tasting flavor, and it wasn't bad. However, I switched to Raw to avoid the artificial sweeteners.

BCAA does not inherently taste delicious. Youre probably not considering buying this just for the taste. A lot of people here are writing poor reviews because they misread "No Artificial Colors, Flavors, or Sweeteners" as meaning there is no taste at all. Too bad for them.

I'm giving this five stars because it is exactly what it claims to be: BCAA powder without a bunch of junk added to mask the flavor. You'll probably never enjoy the taste of this, but after a few glasses it's not that bad. Worst case you can always use a sports drink or something to further mask the taste.

I was so excited to try this when I got it in the mail today, that I dropped a scoop of the powder into my water and rushed to my university (I was in a hurry, as it was the first day back with new classes, bad traffic, and parking). After class, I headed to the gym. I had tried it in the car, and was blown away by the flavor. It was so tasty and refreshing that I wanted to drink the whole thing like a regular drink, but I knew I should save it for during the workout.

I will say that as I drank this throughout my workout, I did feel pretty good compared to other workouts I've had. I don't know at this point if it was solely the BCAA powder that my muscles feeling good after a lot of work, but drinking this during my intense upper body workout was a heck of a lot more rejuvenating than just plain old water.

Now the whole time I had been telling my guy friends about this, I was telling them the wrong flavor! I didn't realize as I had walked out of my house that Amazon had sent me the wrong flavor.... I got Mango. Now, I'm not actually disappointed by this. My first time trying this product, I was completely in love with the flavor. But I didn't read the label. What I had actually ordered was Blood Orange...! At least I know I like mango....

On here it says that mango is like, 50 cents more expensive than the blood orange? Give or take a few cents. Whatever. I guess I'll order blood orange again and hope they send the right one. But as of now, your girl is drinking mango flavor and loving it. I seriously wish I could drink this all day, but that is not the cost effective way to use this.

I will say that in terms of potency in flavor, I used the maximum recommended amount of water to mix this with (it says anywhere between 8-16oz, so I did ~16-17oz) and the flavoring is pretty strong. If you don't like this sweet, you can always dilute it more... I think I'll be doing that a little bit more to see just where my taste buds enjoy it most.

Don't like the lemon lime flavor. Too sweet with a powerful chemical aftertaste some things with a lot of non-nutritive sweetener have. Before you hit me with the 'stop being a baby and drink your BCAAs, you take them for results not for pleasure' speech, let me say this; yes, plain BCAAs taste terrible, that's why people are willing to pay 3x the money for a formula that provides the benefit of the supplement, but also has a pleasing taste. If you're a hardcore gym freak that is happy to choke down heaping tablespoons of bitter ass, unflavored BCAA powder for $10 a tub, respect. But if you're not and pay $20-$30 for that same product, it had better hold up to some criticism on taste. This does not, in my opinion.
It is one of the easiest mixing I've tried.
For some reference, BCAA powders I do like: AminoX watermelon is my fav (I tend to like most BSN flavors for BCAAs and pre-workouts), MP BCAA 3:2:1 blue raspberry is pretty good but sweet, MP Amino1 fruit punch is ok but sweet.

I really enjoy the taste of the Mango flavor. I have been trying to use BCAAs since I've started lifting heavier but haven't found a flavor or brand that I enjoyed till now. I really wish red 40 wasn't added into it but it's something I'll sacrifice for taste. Do they really even need to add coloring to it? Does it add any flavor that I don't know of?
I will sometimes sip on this during leg days and finish it after because those are such intense days for me and water doesn't cut it sometimes. I will also drink it in the evening because I find it works best for me to have it twice a day and one of those being in the evening about 1-2 hours before bed. On arm days I drink it after the workout and in the evenings as well.
I do know they have a Xtend Free BCAA but I don't like the aftertaste stevia has. I know my taste buds are just too picky.
